Have you ever thought about making a OV-10 Bronco? It's a twin turbine engine STOL aircraft used in Vietnam. Papa of the A-10 Worthog. These worked off airport a lot. Capable to land on dirt roads so they could fuel up and take on munitions. There was no need to return to the airport. Could get back in the fight quickly.
Later on they've been used to fight fires.
It was a plane that wore many hats and got not much recognition for it's service.
Make a bf109 or me 262
is hacker nord vpn and pretty shitty service
Hey guys, awesome project, and even more awesome that you used some of my footage!! Keep up the great work, you guys are an inspiration to the younger generation out there!!
Spruce Goose but not just monster size but super super monster size i mean so monster size that you would have to build it out side
You forgot to mention, the ZERO had absolutely "0" armour.
the a6m5 did have amour
@@bowangj3727 The zeros were not very fast compared to American planes like the Hellcat or the Corsair.
@@frankzhang1246 they were compared the earlier ones
Great job, Beautiful Plane👍
They were designed that way due the fact that the plane itself was faster than most planes in the era and more maneuverable than almost any countries aircraft at the time
Definitely getting a lot of "The Wind Rises" vibes from seeing that Zero in flight!
Or “Eternal Zero”
Fun fact: the Zero in Chino California. is the only one that still flys on its original Mitsubishi Engine.
And airframe...
@@fed8925 All airframes of the zeros are the same but there's only 1 zero in the world that flies with the original engines the rest use engines similar since their original engines are either too damaged from age or lost.
@@sinisterisrandom8537 I know this... I used to fuel that same aircraft for 4.5 years and I've been a volunteer/attendee for the museum where she's kept. There are original Zeros still flying but not built from there own country.
Ive touched that plane my dad used to have a hanger there in eagle row
Thanks for the fact. I live in (not gonna say exactly where of course) Riverside County, California. So, it would just take a little drive to get there. Not too far. Again thanks for the fact.
How about a Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber. Could even put a scale “Jericho Trumpet” siren on it.
Reeeeeeeeeeee....
This was what I was going to comment except I would have chosen the Ju 87G and made the flak cannons airsoft.
oh they'd have to put landing gear on it, they don't build landing gear very often!
yess that would be awesome
Yo I recommend that to I didn't know you the legendary Stuka dive bombe to that's really cool
r
I am Japanese I was impressed to see this video! Thank you I'm sorry for my bad English
Perfect English
English seems fine to me and good luck continuing to learn
I am trying to learn japanese. Also not bad english at all. Konichiwa matsu tsunu.
You kidding!! Your writing is perfect, sorry about our government!! Stay safe!
Your English is amazing
Person 1: Are 200 zeros a problem?
Person 2: Well, it depends on their position. If they are after a decimal, no. If they are above Pearl Harbour, then yes...
Wait wait I got this
Person 1:Are hundreds of zeros a problem?
Person 2: Well it depends. As a decimal, no. Flying towards US aircraft carriers, then yes
Harbor*
Zero is literally my favorite airplane, absolutley love this
Flite Test: Makes Zero
Me: now fly it into the battleship
It must happen
well, historically, all it did was put a minor dent in the Missouri's hull and scratch the paint slightly.
Just love the zero, what about an Akagi class carrier to go with such a beautiful plane?
Or a uss kitty hawk with working catipult and arresting wire. And launch an f18 hornet off of it
They should try landing it on their flying aircraft carrier. Although, I don't think they have that one anymore. XD
Devin Boesch
lol I like ur profile pic
@Jason Cheng That would be even cooler but they were just one way launches, then you land in water next to it for the crane, where zeros weren't really suited, they needed a specially designed floatplane.
What about j2m2 RAIDEN
That looks stunning! The A6M has been one of my fav's since I was a kid. Used to see US trainers dressed up as Zeros since there were virtually none left in the world. A fellow Canuck Bob Diemert hacked one out of the jungle in the 80's and restored it in Carmen Manitoba and sold it to the Confedrate Airforce in Texas. At the time it was the only flying original type 21. Great job on capturing this classic warbird that may have been one of the best in history. Well done!
I look forward to try the normal-sized FT-ZERO!
This is classic Flite Test, just you guys hanging out, building and flying a great foamboard build. Nothing too wild or goofy. Something about this video just puts a smile on my face.
I know retracts are not really part of the FT philosophy but a set of retracts would really make the look of the Zero. Really, a lot of your warbirds would look great with retracts. Actually... if you guys came up with a standard FT foamboard retract system for these birds it would really take them to the next level... maybe a couple 3d printed parts if it needs them as a lot of us have printers or access to them these days. I print all my control horns and firewalls now instead of cutting them out of wood.
My hat is off to the guy filming with the quad . You always keep the plane in the frame . Good flying Dude!
Hey guys, the Zero looks and flies great. Remember though, there was a floatplane version of the aircraft. That would be a cool build or put the floats on as a separate build. Either way the video was great. Thanks for all you’ve done to improve this great hobby.
A6m2 - N
That's the designation, right?
Eugene Villanueva yep it was the a6m2 “rufe”
It is a light plane that's why it floats
@@kombatace7971 war thunder player right here
The Japanese had float versions of most of their aircraft in WWII.
P-38 vs Zero or Father vs Son. Put air soft guns in each and dogfight.
That cool idear
Paint ball is better at shooting down aircraft, but yes please FliteTest make an fpv dogfight.
They are coming out with a laser tag system for them. That's the way to go.
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
Zero vs Son
During World War II I had family on both sides. My Great uncle's on the the Japanese side flew the Japanese A6M Zero Model 21 variant and it is amazing to see you guys bring this to life as a model. Side note my American family on board the U.S.S. ARIZONA and to my knowledge members of my family on both sides died that day
The chase footage is the best to date. Very impressive, Alex, even at 11:45 when a little turbulence affected your proximity. Great work! So much fun to watch!
One day they will have like 10 of these massive planes in the air at the same time doing an fpv dogfight.
monster fpv dogfight would be awesome
Yo, that would the best!!!
I wanna see a full on air battle with planes, naval battle with ships and land battle with rc tanks
I am addicted to chasing big warbirds using head-tracking FPV. The Zero will be a perfect target!
Wow, I just commented that! (2 is better then 1, right?)
Do the BF-109 next please!
I would suggest the Bf-109F, it is the cleanest, prettiest model. The E and earlier models weren't as clean and the G and later models started adding bulges to cover larger stuff in the small airframe.
@@414Mustang1 i like the F models but i also like the k models
They probably can't model in the bulges for the later models, remember it's foam boards they are working with here. They can't have the super tiny details like on a molded RC airframe, also it's gonna be pretty boxy I'd imagine.
@@wolfpaw2715 The K models shaped the bulges differently, so they were less disruptive of the outer surfaces. They may have looked better than the G models, but they still weren't as clean as the F, especially when you consider the retractable tailwheel that only the F had.
One really cool video you could do is have the Zero do a torpedo run at the battleship. That would be iconic.
the camerawork from the chasing drone is absolutely fantastic
brilliant flying alex
Now we need a Messerschmitt-262!!!!
That would be awesome!
I second this idea... I dang... look at my last name... lol
As soon as I saw they were doing a zero I thought the exact same thing
John Overstreet made one... He told me and it’s in a video
U don’t need ‘ Messerschmitt’ in front of it if u already have the ‘me’
You guys inspired me to get into the hobby and I just finished my first p38, thanks! Also, you should build the experimental aircraft XF5U, also know as the flying flapjack
They already did the flapjack
I am Japanese. I think the best thing of Zero is beauty. Thank you for making beautiful Zero!
It looks great.
Noah cutting out the parts in a star spangled outfit as he sets up to put together a WW2 Japanese fighter makes me chuckle.
Good on y'all and keep it up. 2M subscribers looks to be in your crosshairs.
Wow, really wanting to get into the hobby and seeing this just makes me want to build it too! As soon as I can scrape together the money! Thanks for making all of these amazing aircraft!
once you get a radio power pack and batteries you unlock endless possibilities with dollar store foam. best hobby on the planet. imo
Honestly all you need are the electronics, 100 cad should be enough for transmitter, receiver, servo and motor. Though you probably will have to ship from China. The airframes you can diy, there's tons of plans online.
Good to see a Japanese design here! I always thought that Western planes looked too "industrial" while Japanese designs were more organic and eye-pleasing. They may not be the best of the war, but they worked pretty well up until the next evolution of aircraft philosophy.
Maybe this is just a result of me growing to liking the looks of my favorite planes, but personally the the f4u, p-51, p-38, among others have always looked really graceful while the zero has always looked almost steampunk. I’m pretty sure it’s just because of the design of the A6Ms cockpit but I still think the Corsair and hellcat look cooler.
Can agree sadly japeness planes are beutiful
Amd yes the hellcat is a fuckin instant nut upon seeing
Idk why, but I felt the P-36 looked beautiful, kind of like an American zero. I feel like the P-40 looks somewhat ugly....
Shiden-Kai, Hayate, Shoki, Raiden, Reisen (especially A6M5 version), Hien - all those planes are way more beautiful than most allied aircafts
Can’t wait to fly this in Australia, big fan of what you guys bring to this hobby! Also, the drone footage is absolutely fantastic!
Some of that aerial footage is absolutely gorgeous! I don't know what you're doing differently, or if it's because the Zero is so large, but at times it looks like a full-size airplane. Well done! Also very nice to see the father-son chemistry.
I'd love to see a Focke-Wulf Ta 152, which was a high-altitude variant of the FW 190 as far as I gather.
It's got more of a sleek profile on both the body and wings compared to the 190.
It was introduced late in WWII, so it wasn't mass produced like the 20,000 FW 190 variants before it.
Wow!!! need to get messerchmitt BF-109, & FW-190 it's the same design
In all these years I was building and flying foamies I never got to scale copy of some real plane to build myself. And all these years Zero is the top of the list (ok, sharing the place with Ki-27). This plane is just beautiful.
I am a huge fan of you guys and it was so fun to see noah flying this monster. You know what they say, like father like son. Keep up the good work noah!
Also congrats on not folding the wings josh
You guys should watch The Wind Rises. It's a WW2-themed movie that features the Zero. When i saw your vid, it reminded me of the movie.
Good film. Also The Eternal Zero is worth a watch or two.
Ahhh, the movie that convinced me to go into engineering…
wow... this makes me feel old. i have been watching since before the bixler 2 by hobyking with josh and josh and to see noah this old is crazy!! i wish u could see how many years u have been subbed to a chanel. so i went back and looked and its been 9 years!!!! my first scratch build ever was the f22 raptor slot jet!!! back before they made theor own stuff and still reviewed hobbykings designs!! wow...
Thanks for being a part of this crazy journey! We wouldn't be here without you :) have a great day and blue skies!
Absolutely love this upload. I haven't enjoyed a video like this since Stefan built the chair plane.
Great job, Noah!
i know flite test probably wont see this but, i have ben building your planes for two years now. started with the cub a have done everything from mighty mini sieries to giant coursair. im now deciding to go back to my roots and im in the middle of a cub build. i hope you guys keep up the good work and i alwase love to see what you phycos com,e up with next, lol. from the bottom of my heart. thankyou for all the insporation and the start at a great hobby. love ya guys.
I want to see 2 F-14's take on 2 Zero's like in The Final Countdown. lol
Was that the movie about the time traveling aircraft carrier?
@@C.Sharpe yep
@@SolarWebsite Lol, just watched it again about a month and a half ago.
Lol I've seen that.
czcams.com/video/1_pCeQzul24/video.html this is what he is talking about.
I would really love to see a De Havilland Mosquito. My late father flew a bunch of them in WW2 including the post-raid photo-reconnaissance over Dresden, where he was jumped by two Me109s. Fortunately he'd completed the required passes, so fire-walled the throttles and headed for the high blue yonder, out-climbing the Messerschmitts with ease. Just as well, because the only weapons he had were his and the navigator's Enfield No.2 .38" revolvers.
Another British-made aircraft you might consider is the Blackburn B-101 Beverley. It was the first I jumped out of, over the Becon Beacons in Wales.
I was always a zero fan. Thanks for building one.
Reminds me of the movie, THE WIND RISES and Jiro Hirokoshi(the designer of this aircraft)
When are you guys coming out with that RC Laser Tag system! I'd love to see ya guys have a dogfight with two monsters! Keep up the good work!
The Zero.....my absolute favorite!
Nicely done!
A Zero with floats??? Count me in!
Nice program, guys. Respect!
You should try to get some form of firing mechanism inside the wings of 2 monster planes and do a proper dogfight with fpv for your next big project.
Just put a handgun in each wing and put some servos on the triggers
this account isn't real tbh it is the US so that’s probably legal.
Flight test: Makes a giant Zero
Me: MAKE A GIANT CORSAIR
I think they already did.
Cthippo1 they only made a mini Corsair in the mini fighters kit thingy thing.
@@slysleuthsailor7714 Didn't they also do a medium-sized build in the Mighty series? I think it was 3 years ago...
P-38 Lightning I’m not sure....
So even though my favorite WW2 plane is the Corsair, this Zero needs to go head to head with a monster Hellcat! I loved the father-son interaction. Hope my son grows up to be involved in the hobby like this.
So happy to see you make this iconic plane looking forward to more.
Great as always!!!! 🛩✈🚀 How about building a German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 or an Messerschmitt Bf 109????
Oh perfect, a cool plane the day of my birthday
Happy b day🎉🎊
Happy bday but i swear i keep seeing u comment on vids like plane crazy and diff ww2 channels lol
Happy birthday
Hbd
Thank you guys so much
Really awesome. Great job, Noah. Too bad they didn't move the golf cart, but I'm glad it turned out okay. Awesome plane and a great maiden flight.
Let me follow that up with I grew up going to the CCA Air Show in Harlingen, TX. I have soo many good memories of those beautiful productions through the entire Eighties. My love for WWII aircraft is deep.
Would love to see you add retractable landing gear on this.
Hmm touch and goes with a Zero does sound fun:)
Yes this is a great way to start the morning
U Aussie?
Yes
Disabled Cubecumber I’m From Sydney
Way to go Noah!!!!! That was awesome flying for your first Monster Flite 😁👍
This episode was super nerdy and close to my heart. I crashed my first peace of crap quad recently. I am a navy guy and one of my Grandfathers was a deck mate on the U.S.S. California on Pearl Harbor. I Parked my Submarine the U.S.S. Florida and I played gently weeps at the banion tree.
You should have floan it into the battleship lol
Make it more realistic by:
Crashing into boats
Having an inexperienced pilot
Have control surfaces lock up
Be made of tissue paper
And make it climb and accelerate at a quarter the speed of the other planes u have.
Just gotta add servo tabs on the ailerons so the control surfaces don't lock up but the inexperienced pilot folds the wings doing high speed manoeuvres
I’d love to see a video of you modifying a plane to have retractable landing gear and other fun accessories like wingtip lights etc. Watching the build is my favorite part. I think the foam models are such a good entry point for new/young enthusiasts but also a great way to learn more advanced skills in building like landing gear etc - that is a little more difficult/expensive with balsa or plastics.
Very cool build, and as usual great flights👍🏻
Almost first :(
Very epic
imagine they heart this
Very cool!! I'd kinda like to see some you build some of those experimental aircraft from ww2. There were some crazy designs that came from that era like the BV-141, the P-82 Twin Mustang, the Miles M39, the XP-55, just to name a handful. I love the abstract contraptions you come up with.
I am a young father of a soon to be three year old, and it is inspiring to see josh and his son bonding over the hobby.
Imagine their neighbour was a WWii Veteran and he woke up to see that in the sky........ Proceeds to take out Tommy Gun and Radios for Air Support.
USA Airforce:
Bruhhhhhhhh
Yes I liked my own comment
Grabs the rifle
@@cabbage1791Definitley
I think it’d be really cool for you guys to do a Monster-size Boeing P-26 Peashooter as it’s such an interesting inter-war period design.
Also, have you considered trying to recreate the Schneider Trophy races with RC seaplanes?
Lastly, loving Bixler junior and senior’s father/son moment! 💗
Very nice plane! The Flying Tigers Curtis P-40's with the shark mouth were always my favorite WWII plane. That would go nicely with the Zero.
Build a ju 87 stuka dive bomber. That is a challenge for y'all.
Really like this zero build, Noah you did good, real good !!
Keep up the great work, guys.
Awesome! Now you know we've got to have a dogfight between that zero and the P-51/A-36 monster! Great job, Noah!
Chase cam filming was on point!
The in flight chase drone camera work is top notch. I love watching the planes flying from those angles. beautiful work overall from the flitetest team.
The way your man picked up that plane 14:36 and held the prop right by his face 14:58...Good thing the boys at FT, including Noah, know their stuff about R/C safety. A plane that size needs an arming switch. Kudos to you @bixlernoah for the thumb grip on the throttle :-)
FliteTest just gets better and better.
The zero gets a 10!! Cool paint job. Very nice FT and co. AirHammer out!!
I want a monster Fokker DR1!
The Red Barron has ALWAYS been my favorite plane!
How about something with that was large when it was built, DO-335 Pfeil Nightfighter. Second seat would be a perfect spot for "eyes!"
Love the FW-190 but a D version, with its longer nose might help with CG.
Don't forget the F-8F Bear cat or a nice twin F-7F Tigercat.
Love the large super sized birds, props to Noah for a great build!
@12:48 the jittery footage looks like authentic wartime archive
Great Zero guys, awesome episode.
I am addicted to dogfighting big warbirds using head-tracking FPV with a reflector sight! The Zero looks like a perfect target! The bigger the better🎯💥💯
This is awesome!!!
The Zero is one of my favorite planes, if not favorite plane, of all time!!!
It looks so awesome in the air, once again guys fantastic build.
Make a working torpedo to drop from it. Make it out of an aluminum tube and put a powerful boat prop on it with a water sensor to turn it on, but either a pin on the front to turn it off when it hits something or a timer to turn off the engine
That turned out great, I love the cockpit detail.
What type of camera is being used on the wingtip?
That's the greatest drone footage I have ever seen
Finally you guys built one of the most amazing propeller-driven planes and I love it
More Axis! Folke Wolfe 190 and or BF 109. Allied, how about soviet IL-2 Sturmavich or Yak-3. You've got the P38 twin engine, maybe the British Mosquito or German BF 110 or Japanese Ki-45. You all do great work and I enjoy building with foam. I found your you tube videos and it got me back into the hobby after a 25 year hiatus. Keep inspiring people!
私は日本人です。いつも素敵な飛行機を飛ばしてくれてありがとうございます
I turn my phone notification off for 1 week and I miss THIS, the type of video I've been waiting for from flite test forever, heck yea
That's got to be one of the most awesome-looking planes you've made - and you've made a lot of great ones! What a beauty!
You guys are so cool. I have always loved airplanes but you’re really inspired me to get into the hobby of building and flying RC ones thanks for all you do 😄
This episode just put a smile on my face
Your guys filmography is amazing
What are the chances that I watch a few videos of FliteTest after a long time and they release a video on the same exact day?
That was amazing drone piloting to get those shots
The A6M Zero also was one of the best plane that flew in WW2 it was one of the plane that attacked Pearl Habor December 7 1939 It was then used as a KAMAKAZIE
I’ve waited for this for so long
Awesome. I love the Zero!
the only thing that zero needs is flaps to slow it down. great looking plane! I've always loved the Zero, it had performance, and was a lethal weapon in it's day.
Awesome, love the Zero!
Well done! Love the plane. Go Noah!!!
