- Behold! the worlds first RC flying lego plane! This has always been something i've wanted to try as a kid. Its humorous due to the nature of legos being super heavy and not a viable material for airframe construction.... well it was time for someone to put that theory to the test!
Some technical info...
The motor is a emax 2215/09 goo.gl/0L1Awc
Battery 1300mah 4S lipo goo.gl/oskavr
2X 9gram servos goo.gl/YH9FkN
spektrum DX8 transmitter goo.gl/zuGj3W
If you're new to RC, go check out FliteTest's beginner series (its a little dated but the info is still relevant) Its an excellent resource to getting into RC flight. (plus I used to work there :D)

I can't believe that thing flew with the aerodynamics of a chair and wings that were freaking rectangle and dotted!
The aerodynamics of a chair!! 😅
That indeed caused a lot of drag, and some fine-tuning to the wing shape and angle could've also resulted into more lift so less power of engine needed, so higher top speed
I mean the bumps up top probably have it it's only lift XD
I didn't think it would fly without glueing it.
The concorde at low speeds is more aeorodynamik than this lol
"Ah, Megabloks. That's how you knew your parents didn't care." I felt that.
True story
Also if they got you a 2ds you know they didn’t love you either
LMFAO
UndeadNobody it’s “that’s how you know ur parents didn’t love you”
Well i loved megablocks too ! they had some models that looked really sick! like that fighter jet they had. it used parts lego doestn even had and it was glorious. Also MegaBloks does Halo stuff so, thats a plus
"Aww that was mega-mean :(" bro i felt that
Well then you better become a Mega-Man! No-punintendo.
Reddey no it was funny
Peter is pretty mean to his buddy ngl
@@ChiccinTendies he is pretty mean now that I realize
@@ChiccinTendies I could see 7 year old Peter doing that same thing to his "friends"
He's a bully, but he builds some really cool things so I find myself still watching his videos.
I wish he bought the set and made that fly
Legos are heavy
Probably would not work unless he built it like a drone with 4 propellers going up.
meu pai
Tiggerlive yeah!
Felipe Jaquez he could have added strong engines
Achievement unlocked ''childhood dream''
JellyShark2143 Yeah, I made one like 25 years ago that could achieve forward motion on a smooth floor (and with the Lego motors), but that's as far as I ever got. Which is probably for the best, since I wouldn't have had a way to control it.
achievement unlocked!
"awesome youtube comments" :D
PeterSripol LOL
PeterSripol dude I love this channel but I think you should brush your teeth a bit more
carlos arrache ever since I read this comment I can't stop looking at his teeth. I now hate you deeply.
Should have used more technic, its great for structural work.
And the whole thing could be Lego including all the motors.
@@zoleroid7027Zoleroid yeah, that's definitely possible, they even made a Bugatti Chiron that drives, life-sized.

@@badusername9903 yes i suppose so
@@iwillstealallyourcookies1873 Wonder why Lego disabled comments on all of their vids.
For having made that plane so fast and kinda carelessly is actually flew, impressive
1:21 - I'm going to try to attach them... some how
Yes how would one attach two pieces of lego together...
Ha ha
by not being able to, baseplate don’t connect from under
Baseplates can't connect to each other from top and bottom
This was the best FliteTest video i saw in a long time.
Yeah, why wasnt this made into an episode?
Kjetil Because he doesnt work at Flite Test any more. This is Peter's own channel.
why doesn't he work at ft anymore.
why dont he work at flight test
collaborative project He had to go help his family business, but he is going to go to flitetest once in a while i believe, but dont count on it.
Noice!!

hi
You should have used Technic as it's structurally better and has pieces perfect for making air foils also Power Functions are thing.
Ultimate-Dragon Gaming and Forging Technic is definitely more structurally sound, but PF components don't have nearly enough power to propel something of this weight - not to mention all the weight the PF components themselves would add. The battery boxes alone are far too heavy to make using them remotely viable.
@@ChiptuneDCI those are still powered by lipos and rc grade equipment

I agree
bro he apparently don't know crap about Lego ;ddd
There are 3 types of engineers:
Actual Engineers
Redstone Engineers
& Lego Engineers
I see
I thought it would be actual, redstone engineers then Peter stripol
@@flyingsalmons934 Nah, he's all of the above!
@@monkeass6627 maybe not redstone
@@Doroga05 Really? How?
Yup. Every engineer's childhood dream has at last been realized!
Yep, very good job. I'm wondering whether trying to copy an old bi-plane might be a better shape? Lego kind of like the flimsy and heavy materials early aero-engineers had to use..
A possibility for sure. I think the bigger issue is to get the area and weight distributions correct. This model had far too little vertical stabilizer area for the moment arm of the tail, which led to the wild yaw and roll behaviors it exhibited.
joshuawfinn my brain is hurt from what u said🤕

I have always wanted to see Legos fly. Never been happier it's beautiful I just want to cry😂
You earned a subscriber.
John Arcidiacono IT'S JUST LEGO. NOT LEGOS!
Fly bricks, it’s a lego drone company
He got my sub when he made Thomas the Train into a flame throwing spider droid.
The plural of Lego is Lego. Not Legos. It's like sheep. You have 1 sheep or a lot of sheep. You don't have sheeps or Legos.
Same here
Thank you for returning to me my massive childhood anxiety about losing Lego bricks.
I felt sad when I'd lose parts.
@@joshgellis3292 x2:'v
Put wings on it, a big motor, and balance it well, and anything can fly xD

One feels he could make a brick fly. Oops! Don’t give him the idea!
You've done what every child with a passion for Legos and planes has dreamed of. This is just awesome!
Its amazing at how far lego has come over the years.
"Megabloks was how you knew your parents didn't love you."
You must have never seen the halo megabloks
Super awesome video Peter. Congrats on now 15k+ subs!! You channel is glowing crazy fast. ! Love what your doing. Keep it up and I hope we can chill
Soon.
Thanks dude!
Yes! We'll have to hang out some time soon! I have some rotor builds that will need to be flown by the best pilots. :D

Nice job Peter! Looks like the struts worked well. I was expecting the wings to fold. One good thing about the lego plane is that it can never really break. It'll just come apart then you just snap it back together and fly again. No hot glue required. I challenge you to make a lego propeller for it. You're allowed to use epoxy.
* picks lego peices out of dog*
:D
Fyi: you glue lego with acetone.
@@ForOdinAndAsgard damn
4:38 he says im not an expert like he hasnt been making planes out of literally everything
This was 3 years ago though
0:33 That is a piece of art dude! I mean, am I the only one who thinks that that is a legit piece of art?
No, I think too
LEGO Technic pieces would probably provide a much better structural strength for the airframe, and the wings to think of it.
Using the LEGO building sheets as wings seems like a fundamentally bad idea because you can't really link them together in a reliable fashion, there's no connectors on the bottom of the plates so the joint is always going to be quite flimsy in one direction. Honestly if I had to build a LEGO R/C aircraft, I would make the airframe, formers, wing spars and ribs out of Technic parts and then cover the whole thing with transparent tape.
HerraTohtori there are baseplates that you can attach bricks to from the bottom as well.
Most of those types of plates are much smaller than these large base plates, though.
It's not about where you can attach things, it's more about whether the pieces are under tension or compression. Lego fundamentally rely just on the friction between the plastic surfaces to stay together which works fine for compressive load as well as side loads, but if you put a pillar of lego under tension (ie. pull on both ends) it will quite easily come apart.
The same thing will happen if you try to make a wing out of several plates and reinforce the connections by smaller plates on top and bottom, the joint plates on the top or bottom will wiggle their way loose when the joint starts to bend under flight loads - and this will happen on both sides (center on the concave side, edges on the convex side of the bend).
Trust me, I have more than a decade of intense Lego engineering experience under my belt, I know how these things work...
is it just me or is 1:32 the best part so far

Yea hahahah

Jep
Yeah the end is kinda funny in 2019
Oh my God look, 10,000 subscribers
On a video with nearly 3 million views lol
Yh
Watching in 2020
Personally,I felt you were the brains behind F.T.,same as David,but thats just my opinion. It isnt the same without your wacky,great ideas. Enough said.
who cares about flite test now that Peter has his own channel lol
Designandrew ,thats kinda like saying who cares about flying now that we reached space. Flite Test is going through some growing pains,again. I like the free downloadable plans for planes and they do have some decent content. Its like anything else,you have to pick and choose what you do with what is offered. David and Peter both brought some really good context to Flite Test. Unfortunately,I am starting to see them getting away from that,and am not sure I like some of the people they are bringing on board. They dont seem to be adding anything of interest. I see a particular person on there that ,I guess may have some kind of talent but havent figured it out other than mabe class clown,as we called them in school. I am probably being unfair but seems like the show is getting too many people on there that cannot possibly contribute the same ingenuity and intellect that Peter did.
scott firman flite test is an awful religious cult. I couldn't stand all the 'brothers' and church from Bixler so I unsubbed ages ago, he also seems like a terrible .boss to work for. I checked back occasionally though, and was happy to find Peter had flown the coop. I think these videos prove how much flite test was stifling Peter.
Isn't Chad Kapper the boss though? I thought Bixler was just one of the hosts
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets those sorta vibes off them...

its for roleplaying for kids and not flying with real engine💀
Hey, incredible Video! Can we use it in a Top 10 Lego Machine Video? We would mention your channel name of course
Hello
Hi Wissenswert! Wäre super, wenn das in einem von euren Videos auftauchen würde! 👍
I think he would be ok with that
Can you use my stuff
Anything can fly if you don't care about the destination

"The majestic Lego bird is down" : )
6:48 The word you are searching for is "studs".
Yes yes that's what I was thinking
LEGO: take your creativity to bigger heights makes LEGO plane sets

LEGO: wow

LEGO should pay for Peter's "RC LEGO"
and then the airplane causes 9/11
You can't say Legos!!!!!!!! It is always Lego, or Lego bricks but NEVER Legos!!!
LXF it really doesn't matter
Capper101 IT DOES. Simply ask an AFOL.
Uh oh, the trademark police arrived. No, he can say "legos" if he wants to. LEGO would just prefer he doesn't.

Totally agree, legos is not a thing. It's Lego™ all the way 💯%
haha same here LXF
WOW, did not think it would fly but it did! Good work Guys
bwcpublishing put enough power behind anything and it might fly lol
So happy Bubbles is on the team.
That was bloody brilliant
Your projects are so amazing and so enjoyable to watch
Your channel growing like crazy! I'm happy for you Peter!
Thanks man! The support and views helps a ton!
you should try promoting it on flighttest i randomly found it browsing youtube didn't even know you had one
It's from Flitetest that I found out Peter has this channel.
This is the first ever video I watched of this guy.
Outstanding!
13:40 I pray for all those parts
Peter you were the best at FlightTest. I loved your experimental plains especially the VTOLs. Good luck with the new channel I already subscribed!
I love your workshop and awesome job.thank you.
Everything you do is absolutely awesome!!!!!! I love the channel! Keep up the amazing work!
C'mon Peter make it out of Lego Technic!
that's what I thought!
+1, There's glue on the the duct tape too! A missed opportunity to make proper lego technic hinges, don't think they'd be too bad compared to some of the other structural stuff on this plane.
Also reminds me of some crazy Kerbal Space Program video someone showed me of huge airframes made of small blocks and plates.
That's too easy!

sorry everytime i see lego geting cut i have to cringe and then take a moment of silence

haha, probably no! I cant wait for all the kids to unwrap this on Christmas and lawn dart these into their neighbors house.
that's cool bro i think that is first lego plane creation in the world and u make that thing realy fly great job
He did not use lego to make that piece of shit fly. He used off brand motors, batteries and controller. It's possible to make a FULLY rc plane because Lego has created Power Function, Boost, and Mindstorms but he didn't.
It is possible to build a 100% LEGO glider, but not a 100% LEGO plane. The LEGO motors don't provide enough power compared to their weight, same goes for the battery boxes, and most LEGO propellers barely create any thrust.
Great video. ☺️
Absolutely amazing.
Was it ever explained why you and FliteTest aren't together anymore? Your videos are exactly what they have been missing lately. I'm glad I found your channel.
thechosendude he wanted to branch off on his own, aka this CZcams channel. He said the stuff he does here is more his style. Plus he needed to help at his parents restaurant.

I’m super impressed that this actually worked
"maby that can fly"*smashes it on table "look at that it can, now build it again"
well my days been made
Anything can fly if you have enough thrust
Great focus on getting your lego plane to fly!
Nice!
There was a review on Amazon about a lego plane set that sounded like this: "My lego plane doesn't fly!"
If the review was for your lego plane, it would've sounded like this: "My lego plane flies very well!"
Very good job!
Excellent video and concept! I would have thought you would want to glue everything together, for durability. With some judicious use of glue on the wings, you might have been able to dispense with the wing spars, which would foster an improved thrust-to-weight ratio. It flew better than I thought it would, for a plane without ailerons.
This would've been 1000 times easier if you used technic pieces
Exactly what I was thinking.
Griffin Richardson it would be heavier :/
Griffin Richardson lego power and evo 3
Sebastián Alberto it could be a more skeleton frame for like the tail bar so if he combined technic with normal lego
Yeah, hope he redoes this with a better frame.
You are my new personal hero now.
THIS IS SO COOOOOOL
If you dont mind me asking, why dont you work at flitetest anymore dude you were one of my favorite people to see in the videos because you designed the coolest planes ever.

You never get to old for lego
YAY 🙌 I'm proud of your accomplishment very interesting design
Very cool! It seems it could use a little more vertical stabilizer area. The good thing is that this is the proverbial model that doesn't break but re-kits when crashed, so unplanned encounters with Terra Firma bring no cash penalty, just some re-fitting of Lego bricks. Nice!
Great observation! Yes the vert stab could have been larger. I just ran out of those one sided lego bricks!
