    It was a special moment teaching those kids! Here’s to the next Flite Fest! 🤙

    • @ulaB
      @ulaB Před 6 lety +2

      I was surprised you could keep Milo and his brother stand still for a moment :)

  • @AlexJoneses
    @AlexJoneses Před 6 lety +144

    I kept looking at all these amazing planes, and then halfway through the interview i realize “its a crash compilation. OH NO”

  • @boomfiziks
    @boomfiziks Před 6 lety +42

    The ending of the young man teaching the two little boys was very sweet.

    • @RcAviation
      @RcAviation Před 6 lety +3

      If you want to check his channel out its called ProjectAir , Hope u like it :)

    • @cheong05011951
      @cheong05011951 Před 6 lety

      Buddy box would let the kids have a few more positive experience

    • @RcAviation
      @RcAviation Před 6 lety

      Yeah, i guess it's the rebuilding experience that he wanted to get across, but i tottally agree with the buddy box

  • @WarChest
    @WarChest Před 6 lety +378

    When the guy with the P51 Spitfire said “450 hours of work” I said:
    “Oh no....”

    • @interman7715
      @interman7715 Před 6 lety +42

      War Chest It is a P 40.

    • @WarChest
      @WarChest Před 6 lety +6

      interman 77 ahh whoops! Thanks for the correction!

    • @earthsciteach
      @earthsciteach Před 6 lety +28

      Damage was limited to the spinner and prop. She will fly again with little work!

    • @WarChest
      @WarChest Před 6 lety +22

      Glad the damage was minimal. It's a beautiful model. I wouldn't have the heart to put that thing into the sky.

    • @CarlLydickRC
      @CarlLydickRC Před 6 lety +5

      She was built to fly, and in particular to fly at Flite Fest. There is always next year...

  • @DaveMerc
    @DaveMerc Před 6 lety +144

    The only bad RC crash is the one you don't catch on video :-)

    • @oliverw782
      @oliverw782 Před 6 lety

      Agreed! We lost a giant Cessna Sky master at our field yesterday. She was kit built and fiberglassed. She took 3 years to build and a wing folded in a gentle turn. Toothpicks....

    • @oliverw782
      @oliverw782 Před 6 lety

      Dave Merc Productions it had a 10 foot wingspan

    • @yucannthahvitt251
      @yucannthahvitt251 Před 6 lety

      Ouch! It really pays to overbuild the wings.

    • @oliverw782
      @oliverw782 Před 6 lety

      Yucannt Hahvitt Yeah. The wings were extremely over built. A spar joiner failed mid flight. Twin 55cc engines. One is destroyed.

    • @NighthawkGliders
      @NighthawkGliders Před 6 lety

      Nice video, Jeremy! Enjoyed that immensely! 😀

  • @FunnyHacks
    @FunnyHacks Před 6 lety +2

    I love that the successes and the encouragement were included.

  • @elishathomas0244
    @elishathomas0244 Před 6 lety +67

    When I saw the p-40 I was then sad knowing it's a crash video

    • @CarlLydickRC
      @CarlLydickRC Před 6 lety +3

      Its fine... Just a new prop and spinner needed and she'll be back in the air. A smoother (and wider) runway helps too :-)

    • @earthsciteach
      @earthsciteach Před 6 lety +2

      Nah! She is just fine! Carl will have her back up in the air. The textile runway was too slack for large airplanes. You can see the "wave" of fabric in front of the wheels. That is what caused it to veer left.

    • @CarlLydickRC
      @CarlLydickRC Před 6 lety +1

      Agreed. They all have a lifespan and they are meant to fly. The P-40 will be flying again this week :-)

    • @ShockeWulf190
      @ShockeWulf190 Před 5 lety

      Same

    • @moojidy
      @moojidy Před 4 lety

      Im new to all this. Just found this channel after seeing a highlight video of the demolition derby flights (super fun to watch). But is the P-40 that WWII style plane? The one that guy said he built while his wife was in Germany? Did it get up in the air? I know im watching a crash compilation, but I was really hoping to see that one in the air.

  • @Left-Earth
    @Left-Earth Před 3 lety +1

    _"2 minutes into the video, and I'm wondering if they're going to crash all of the planes."_ 😂

  • @gracklefpv8811
    @gracklefpv8811 Před 6 lety +4

    dude james is so good with the kiddos

  • @masonphillips6605
    @masonphillips6605 Před 6 lety +62

    I like how 80% percent of the crashes were poor piloting and the rest were improper preflight checking. Oh well thats what the hobby is, Learning.

    • @Scairborne66
      @Scairborne66 Před 6 lety +2

      God put a rudder on that Warhawk for a reason... use it!

    • @CarlLydickRC
      @CarlLydickRC Před 6 lety +2

      lol... I do! She needs a lot of aileron as well to keep the P-factor from lifting the right wing immediately. That runway was narrow for something that big though and I think subconsciously I was light on the sticks because of how close the crowd was on the right side. I basically needed to point her at the people as she was gaining speed and I didn't do that.
      She does fly though, and will fly again as soon as the new prop and spinner is installed.

    • @masonphillips6605
      @masonphillips6605 Před 6 lety

      Scairborne66 that hurt to watch, 450 hours or something. I would have let him fly my 1800 balsa cub before that amazing plane so he didnt just break it. RIP the most detailed p 40 ive ever seen

    • @masonphillips6605
      @masonphillips6605 Před 6 lety

      wilmracer yeah that is a good assesment. Honestly i would have just pulled back and punched it into full throttle. I bet it would have tacken off. Honestly that is an amazing plane in the first place. congradulations

    • @CarlLydickRC
      @CarlLydickRC Před 6 lety

      definitely not RIP :-) Prop and spinner (and spares) already painted and ready for balancing. I'm heading out of town for a bit but she'll be flying early August!

  • @peterloxham502
    @peterloxham502 Před 6 lety +2

    Just the best way to get kids involved! Well done boys.

  • @lookronjon
    @lookronjon Před 5 lety

    Best one yet. Thank you for passing it on.

  • @markwebb8616
    @markwebb8616 Před 5 lety

  • @tylerwright6006
    @tylerwright6006 Před 3 lety

    That P-40E model is an absolute show stopper OMG!!

  • @VictoryAviation
    @VictoryAviation Před 6 lety

    I can't say enough good things about FliteTest. The mid-airs and people's reactions during combat were fantastic!!! LOL The ending with the kids flying was the icing on the 5 layered velvet cake.

  • @jacklets3851

      I agree! ;) ;)

  • @kb9khm
    @kb9khm Před 6 lety

    Awesome! That was my Arrow that took the nose off the Radian at 5:52. The Arrow did not come apart and suffered no damage from the nose-in into the ground. The worst thing was that when it hit the Radian it put a twist in the left wing necessitating that wing to be replaced. A few hours later and it was flying again. The hit was so hard that it put several fracture cracks into the left wing. One of them ran right under the Flite Test sticker on that wing and literally split the sticker in two. To commemorate the event, I peeled the sticker off the damaged wing and put it on the new wing in two separate pieces. My Arrow did so well in the crash because it has sheet brass covering the front of the center pod, and steel landing gear rods running down the outside leading edge of each wing.

  • @frankysfishingchannel5453

    Can it fly??... Yeah absolutely... Crashes 5 seconds later. 😂

  • @AllenSchmidtSr
    @AllenSchmidtSr Před 6 lety

    Great video! Great camera! Loved the slo-mo shots. I saw most of those but a few I missed so thanks for putting this together!
    Looking forward to hours of video from FliteFest! Even though I was there from Wed to Sun, I know I missed a TON!! Thanks Guys!!!

  • @amen_ra6926
    @amen_ra6926 Před 6 lety +1

    I wonder if the P-40 guy had flown a taildragger before or was he experiencing servo problems? This reminded me of those old films from like the 1920s and 30s where pilots were trying experiment contraptions that never worked. Some great crashes this year. One thing though, the soybean field got mowed pretty well.

    • @CarlLydickRC
      @CarlLydickRC Před 6 lety

      Yeah, I've flown her before and fly warbirds all the time. She is SO light for her size that she has some unique characteristics on the ground. The P-factor pulls hard enough to lift the right wing before she's at flying speed so she needs loads of aileron to keep her level while she builds speed.
      Watching this again and again in HD I still think the runway material didn't help, but I think subconsciously I was scared of getting her into the crowd that was lining the runway. That was a narrow spot to take off from and I really needed to point her AT people to get her to track straight. At least all she needs is a new prop.
      You can see her fly on my channel. I'll have her back in the air next month.

  • @TWH_Pixy
    @TWH_Pixy Před 6 lety +3

    Guys, are you going to make a 20-minute or so long video about the whole weekend like last year? I'd be nice to see some open fly stuff, as well as the events Saturday night and sunday. Makes the event a bit easier to show to family about what all went down, and maybe even catch my father and myself walking in the background!

    @millseyp7284 Před 6 lety

    I remember being that age as the little boy at the end on the video learning to fly with my Grandfather. He would stand behind me with his arms reaching around me for the transmitter he would control the throttle and let me use the ailerons an elevator. I am 17 now and I fly some 3D but I love flying my ex light p-47 1.2m. If it wasn’t for those times as a kid with my grandfather I wouldn’t fly today

    • @millseyp7284
      @millseyp7284 Před 6 lety

      I also fly with my rotc unit at my high school where I now teach other students my age to fly with the help of my instructors and a few friends at my local flying field

  • @MichaelBender-Riker
    @MichaelBender-Riker Před 6 lety

    Absolutely awesome. Btw I got my ACME Boomerang maiden two days ago. Self built, self balanced and my first rc model ever. Took me a while to get brave enough to risk it but it flies amazingly well. 😁

  • @m0ther_bra1ned12

    Guys - from the bottom of my heart, really, this was an amazing episode, which we rarely see these days on FT channel due to all the commercial content. that "shutout" in the middle of it really made me see again where this channel has gone to lately, yet again, great edit, inspiring , loved it.. but why that cheap trick in the middle, not cool.

      If the cost of this content is putting up with a little bit of advertising inserted, I am all for it.
      Someone has to pay, this stuff isn't cheap to produce, would you do your job for free?

      Stambo - Rest assure that FT guys has income and are not doing it volunteerlly. It is more than ok to promot stuff over but there have to be a balance. I am not sure if you recall the very early episods of FT.. where they were done when there was no major income, yet the content was very enjoyable, if not more that what we see today.
      Yes.. no one owes me a sh**t.. I was just saying balance it out. Adding to that disrupting the content in the middle is really the simplest /not creative way of doing so. FT HAS AN AMAZING CREW, which we all have already seen doing the same in a more sattle, creative manner.

      In the early days of Flite Test, I believe subs were about 20k when I started following them, they all had full time jobs.
      Now that it IS their full time job, the bills must be paid.
      If you don't wish to support them by watching a few adds there is a progress bar that you can easily drag along to skip them.

    Too bad that it is so difficult to travel with some planes from Europe to the States. Even though i dont fly foanmies this often anymore i think i have to visit an FliteFest somewhen. I really like the atmosphere i can see from all thos videos.

      Fly there, bring electronics and build one with free foamboard and hotglue in the build tent. Crash it in combat and take the electronics that survice back home. ;)
