    The breakup of that plane in mid air was amazing. loved all the camera angles.

    Fantastic episode . Fun , informative and best of all, Peter looked right at home , he is an asset to the FT crew.
    His ideas and design are right there ! now go design and make a foam CHINOOK using the identical twin motor set up !!

    @Spectrum184 Před 9 lety +5

    One of the hardest things to figure out when I first started was which electronics to get. I knew what I needed, just not which ones worked the best. Having electronics will help you guys out alot.

      They also have other companies Ellington them too like Grayson hobby like 45 for the swappable electronics

    This was my first rc plane I've ever owned/built. Learning to fly on this airplane was easy. It flew amazing and was very forgiving to repair when the ground, telephone poles, trees and fences weren't. It even served as our daughter's platform to have her Barbies skydive. Thanks to the movers who packed her up nicely, she survived to fly again when we returned to the states from Okinawa. Ordered a second one and currently have both in my arsenal of aircraft. THANK YOU guys so much for the memories this and other planes I have given to my family! God bless and keep up the good work!!

    I can't wait to buy this from the flite test store, seeing all your videos rekindled my love for rc planes. I never had money when I was growing up to buy my own stuff, but now I got a job and looking forward to training and building, then move up to this beautiful plane.

  • @DiscoverRC

    We'd like to see you drop 3 or 4 nano fpv quads out of the plane. Then put the quads in formation and fly them back into the plane. We are waiting...

    That was sooooo much fun watching you guys cutting up and having fun! I bet you guys cut up a bunch more when the cameras are off! Don't listen to the few fuddy duddys that call this garbage & want you to return to straight educational format! This was a nice switchup from the regular vid format.

      Tom Muhleman, Jr.
      Yeah yeah I know! Problem is SS109 and m855 is about to be outlawed by the BATEF or what ever that useless institution is called. Better get it while you can! Lol if you want to have fun, paint some standard M193 green and sell it to a neckbeard. (Good thing 109 and 855 are magnetic) I'm going to visit my local gun show and see how many dishonest people there are.
      I can't imagine feeding more calibers! I'll just stick to 54R and 556 for now.

    @rmdcade1717 Před 7 lety

    As someone who's just started getting into FT in the past month, I'd be interested in seeing more of these on-the-spot mini-reviews on new items. Seeing people talk about the limitations of a build as well as its strengths after having handled it for the first time honestly makes me more excited and interested.

  • @n2dadarknight
    @n2dadarknight Před 9 lety

    Hey guys, I'm a complete newbie to RC flight just small Air Hogs and a bit of indoor heli. I have however worked on C-130's as an Air Force Crew Chief for 8 years and and currently large airframes at another base and always wanted to get into scale flying. Watching your videos the past week and more exactly this one I am completely motivated to learn and BUILD this airframe! I'm looking to paint it exactly like the 62-63 E's, 92-98 H's, and 02 J models I worked in Ar. I can't wait to start both THANKS for the motivation videos and any help you guys can and will provide!

  • @MyTechWebTV
    @MyTechWebTV Před 9 lety +5

    Great to see both Joshes. Great planes! I want to build one of each! Simply awesome episode. Not sure how anyone could down vote this one! Only thing I would like to change on the Guinea is to be able to close to close the door.
    Does FT have a build video for the larger Guinea or is it the same as the mini which has a build video?
    On your recommended motors on your site you list the hexTronik DT750 Brushless Outrunner but mention that the " optional hardware kit for prop shaft". I can't seem to find this listed. Do you have a link for the optional hardware kit?

    Did I learn my lesson after the mid-air caused me to choke / spew my chicken n mashed potatoes...
    ....but then
    During the replay ,... "we don't have attractive laughs .... " I nearly inhaled my coffee.

  • @stressballer
    @stressballer Před 9 lety +11

    What happened to you guys? You went from being educational and explorative, to just dorking around, trying to do silly stuff, break things and not care anymore. I am not impressed by the new direction.

    • @ipvg4578
      @ipvg4578 Před 9 lety +45

    • @LeonardChurch33
      @LeonardChurch33 Před 9 lety +10

      IPVG
      I agree. I feel that they're following the natural progression of learning to fly. Spending your first few seasons learning all the basics and stressing over the actual mechanics of learning how to keep yourself in the air. Then after that you stop thinking about the actual flying part and just get out there to have fun. You might explore the basics again when you're mentoring someone (as they have done with Josh Scott) but ultimately the goal is to get them at a point where they can fly on their own and have the same care free screw aroundy fun that you're having.

    • @stressballer
      @stressballer Před 9 lety

      IPVG I can agree to the part that the hobby is about having fun, but I still think reckless flying and strapping things (RC cars and such) onto a plane just to be destructive, and crashing into each other without a care in the world, seems a litte bit...over the top or something. Oh well. I'll still watch the interesting FliteTest videos, but parts of them are not to my liking, and I expressed that feeling. :)

    @afrog2666 Před 8 lety

    Always nice to see young pilots, and new people getting in the air :)
    So much easier to get into rc these days compared to just a few years ago, let alone 15, 20 or 25 years ago, when I started..
    "the pig" seems like a real beginners plane, and a blast to fly for all ages.
    Well done ;)

    • @afrog2666
      @afrog2666 Před 8 lety

      *****
      Nice :)
      You won`t regret it, the building experience will be useful later on, and it`s much more fun flying something you built yourself ;)
      Back in the day RTR`s was something of a luxury, now it`s the norm and most the time, people just buy something, fly it, crash it, and don`t know how to fix it.
      Experimenting with your own builds in one of my favourite parts of the hobby.
      Go for it, you`ll love it!

    My favorite part of the video was the fathers and sons.
