- Flite Test - 100mph under $100 - CHALLENGE
This week we have something a little different. No reviews, no events, no tips, just a small bet between friends. Is it possible to build a foam airplane, for under a hundred dollars, that can fly faster than a hundred miles an hour? Josh Bixler is sure that his wrinkled tape covered foam box with wings can succeed with speed. Josh Scott weighs the options and looks at the red flying brick with doubt. The challenge has been set, rules have been drafted, and the consequences have been decided. Who wins, who loses, and who will be looking a little different in the next episode? Watch and find out.

Maybe time to revisit the 100mph for under $100. How much have we gone forward in the hobby in 6 years?
Asking the Real questions here.
Just went to write the same comment
petfrogg o
Sandro Henriques cannot find measurements for the Ft bloody Wonder
Consider big they already beat the 100mph mark for $100(actually less), I would think that they should try and lower it to fifty now or something.
Now 200mph for under $200. :P
***** agora mach 3 por 3000 reais.
Oh come on, clearly, the simple solution is to make a very cheap ramjet out of... something, and do 2000 mph for under $2000.
Or SCramjet, and do 10000 mph for under $10000.
Note: long-range antenna and FPV system ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!
you actually might be able to do 500 MPH for $500 or even less if you do most of the work yourself... search dynamic soaring
Peter Smythe Rocket plane would be a lot less hassle in technical ways. A ramjet needs specific speeds to operate, and a scramjet is just technically nonfeasable for a budget build. Like the Me163, a simple liquid fueled system could be the answer to do low budget speedflights... Safetywise, not the best ;)
***** Rocket engines or OMS engines
2011!?! Dude!! You guys have been at it for a minute!!! Congrats! What a great hobby/job! You inspire me with every video I watch. Thanks guys!
That was 9 years ago? I feel like I watched this yesterday wow
note: i propably watched it in 2012,13 or 14 but thats still long agl
still interesting to watch in 2019
well done Josh & Josh
If I could break the sound barrier for less than a grand I am game.
I think the way you could do it would be to take it up to a couple of thousand metres with a quadcopter, which would be a nightmare to do because the air would get noticeably thinner at the altitudes you would want to go to, and then you would have to drop a rocket which you could fire. If you put wings at the very back of the bomb, it would be very nose heavy so steering it wouldn't be a problem.
You would have to either put a parachute on it or use really cheap electronics, and you would also have to check with the government to see if it was even legal, because you would firing firing things straight down with no control over where they went, and you would probably have to get a no fly zone too
Nathan JR buy a whip
Nathan JR let me just put this out there: no rc plane has gone over mach 1, much less for under $1000.
Home made jet engines and ductape my friend no just kidding but the radio would be exspensive because the humongous range you wil need
FishMB2015 Or a rifle.
I like how the 100 mph pass was precisely 100
Just watched this again. I cannot believe that I have been enjoying Flite Test for over 10 years now... :)
I like josh, but josh is a bit annoying.
I feel you
+tony052803 why do i feel like this was simply a ploy to mess with josh. lol
Doctor what about josh?
Yeah Josh wasn't really nice
@Shadow Wolf 9010 r/whoosh
@oimmuk - Ease of programming for expos. We needed precision control to fly it directly over the radar gun.
Either way, great job!! 80 mph is still amazing for such a small aircraft... Controlling that has got to be tricky!!!
Killer video! Was impressed with the builds and the fact they HAD to make that second one just to show it's possible for under $80 instead of just leaving us hanging when the foam red barron failed. :p
Awesome job guys, it's like I'm there experiencing the flight test.
Could you make the most efficient setup kind of competition? That would be fun and a challenge! Great job and keep it up!
you guys kill me lol....love your videos !!! all the wit you guys have is really amusing and fun to watch.....keep up the good work guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great vid guys, thanks for this. def will try it self with a similar config
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, please do more like it. I liked the idea another commenter posted about more competitions. Great job guys, I get excited when I see that yall have posted another video!
Watching this video as an adult for the first time since it was uploaded. I see why people used to ship you guys
Love these type of episodes! Keep them coming :)
I feel like these two don’t like each other in real life, but force themselves to work with each other lol
DAM! Bugle Boy! I have not seen that since the 90's!! back in middle school! LOL
Amazing how they get less views now with nearly 2 million subs. The old flite test was far superior
The second one was awesome. Very easy to build. Thank you so nuch Flite Test! Regard!
The whole time I was watching this I was hoping the plan would just tear apart in mid air it would have been hilarious. Keep his stuff up it's some cool
Love this stuff... your production values are quite good for a avg 500k views per vid channel!
+dequinox I love these dudes videos, so much enthusiasm, not so skinny Josh is a inspiring me a lot, soon i'll be dropping a few hundred dolllers on them for some of their kits and modular builds.
Cant wait to see the next episode. . .
I miss these Josh and Josh takes... they are good together.....
I did this ages ago using the Hobbyking Flycat. Great work guys.
Great video Josh and Josh. Thanks for doing what you do.
@rcFFBloodyMicks The FunBat is up next!
Nice plane at 5:22 ;)
Great Vid, nicely done.
Jon
that awfully looks like the speedy from RC groups, with a 4 cell though I have seen those go 120mph minimum. Like the video guys!!
"Thanks man. Coming from you, that means... something weird"
I've been looking for this type of channel for years!
Well you've came too late.
you can't have been looking very hard!
Excellewnt episode, way to change it up, congrats on the 100 mph :-)
Holy shit is that Jonny Knoxville's son?
So much for the challenge... You blew it with the spektrum radio.
With the second design sweep the wing even more from a 90° Sweep to a 45° sweep and add the most powerful motor you can get with the most bladed propeller you can get as well
That was fun to Watch thx
It is so weird seeing these older videos now.
Very nice challenge! Congrats on achieving your goal!
hi ! wery cool episode ! liked your sort of "new" episode, kind of "original" from ordinary flitetest episodes :)
I was wondering if you could share the buildings plans for the speed wing ?
that would be nice !
Cheers !
How tf is this video almost 10 years old and looks this good?
I wish I was with you Iam from Irag my hobby is small flying and l am 52 years old thank you thank you for everything
Racedrone simplest option
UAV Future built
I loved it man
Bugle Boy!?!?!? That was freaking hilarious.
No plans up yet for your "Speed Wing" I was actually considering that build too.
OMG the running and falling.. too funny!
@joshuamelvin : OK thanks for clarifying that Josh. The reason I brought it up was because, on your advice, I ordered some of those same DS929MG servos from HobbyKing that you spoke of in that video...to be installed in my first plane that I hope to break the 100mph mark with. It's a little 50mm EDF-powered F-16 made by J-Power (which I also bought from HobbyKing), and I'm souping it up with a Wemo fan and 6000 Kv outrunner.
MORE CHALLENGES!!! :D
Man I love these old vids
You guys should revisit this challenge today...and maybe even raise the bar
that radio is a great deal, been using it for months!
I came close by accident in 2003 I had a cheap Estes f4 corsair It had a 130 size motor and another 130 motor to make it turn the old system was heavy and could barely fly the airplane I installed a fireball 370 heli mmotor and a hobby grade radio it with a 300 ma 8.4 nmh pack from another cheap toy it was stupid fast we were guessing about 70 to 90 mph it was very hard to keep it in sight !!! I was just trying to upgrade it to flyable status people around us were shocked to see it was not nitro powered I did it just with stuff I had on hand at the time great vid !!!!
Do 25 under $25. That’s my budget
Mine too....
dude unless your homeless you're one cheap ass man
Keep saving!
Easy. Drop it from the top of a building
Haha lol
Lol rocking the "Joshy-doo".
@zyberbob
Thank you !
This must be completely INSANE:
Make a 200 MPH (About 322 KPH) for under $200 plane (if such a budget is possible!) if this idea isn't too insane.
Yeah... what I said earlier was... impractical.
Its cool man, we all had the same reaction haha
A real car that goes 250 mph has like 1,100 hp and carries 2 people.
A real plane that goes 300 mph has like 300 hp and carries 2 people.
Ducted EDF to go fast but they are much more expensive
Yeah!great idea,wait,I just remembered that 200 mph is *FAST*
I still love going back and watching this episode. An interesting datapoint: ecalc predicts a top speed of 83 mph at 61A for Josh's plane. ONE CHANGE will put it over 100 mph. Yup, a 4.5x4.5 APC will draw 41A at 119 mph.
i think a really good challenge would be to build a quadcopter for under $100, but without counting the trasmitter and receiver in the price. you guys make great videos, by far the best rc channel on youtube. great work!
is there a video of that red and white plane from the intro??? I really want to check trhat one out its my favourite from your arsenal. I remember seeing it a little more in the beginner tutorial episode 1.
can you do a video on the Great Lakes Escapade, and Flyzone Sensei
U guys are awesome!!!
setup a D motor to ignite using a servo to light it once your at altitude. You only get 1 try though.
Actually guys, I'd love to see some detailed plans on the second plane... I wouldn't mind putting one of those together... maybe add a link to your website?
+Alex Walsh the radio includes the receiver
Question: is 200$ for a regular rc. Plane including controller too much to spend on parts??
@crystal130h Yeah, I see what you mean. They kinda went back on their previous statement. But they were going for as cheap as possible, so I guess that's where they cut back.
Try it with rubber power. Plausible I reckon (but not for a long duration).
this intro is my favorite
same
yeah
Broke that speed with my first control line trainer. Thin solid balsa wing, basic profile fuselage, old glow engine. We clocked it at 110mph first flight out. Given that control lines experience roughly triple the parasitic drag of equivalent rc models, it shouldn't be too hard to manage that speed with basic 2 channel control and an old glow engine powering a small plane.
Awesome duds, ur d best
awesome work.. God Bless! :D
lol josh scott's got a funny run! bet that affected his timing too :D
"What is that, H.H. Crew?" Friggen classic!😂
Sgt. Kong Henry Hudd crew..
thx
Next I want to see 200mph for less than $200. in a foamie, now THATS a challenge!
Jon
@00:36 those shades on the dude to the left LOL
I would have used a ducted fan plane because it has slow acceleration but high top speeds specially for foam planes that are light
Hey flight test it's almost 2020! It is time to try this again! Or maybe figure out what it costs to go 200 mph.
Nice job Chad!
I new from the start to make a delta wing plane, not a BF 109
that $20 radio is awesome, i have one. never let me down. even after submerging the RX in a salt pool.
you guys are awesome thumbs up
I got a FliteTest ad before this!!
same
That transmitter won't work for the second plane (it doesn't have mixing for elevons.) Hobby king has others that WILL work, for only a few more dollars. Right now there is a nice Turnigy for just $25: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?cwhl=XX&idCategory=82&v=&sortlist=P&LiPoConfig=&CatSortOrder=asc
Edit: Apparently you can get a small device to make any transmitter work with the second plane, but it costs about the same to just get the nice turnigy transmitter. The little mixer device is here: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__6321__TURNIGY_V_Tail_Mixer_Ultra_small.html
looks like HobbyKing have raised the price for pretty much all the parts listed here
Mrcodenamejag probs just because of this vid
your production is awesome! But how come so few views?
I think you need to see what plane you can fly the slowest, but then also replace parts ffor a few bucks, then see how fast it can fly
I would say the grayson hobby micro jet v3, this is one awsome motor, Little more expensive but a good motor,
so much b-roll man!
Just put C rocket on a paper airplane.
Trevor M Nah k rocket >===
No your all wrong a z rocket
*breaks the speed of sound and creates a black hole*
I think the goal is to get over 100 and still be controllable
make a submarine that's also a helicarier!!!! ; )
Was the 100mph flight powered by the TowerPro Brushless Outrunner TP2409 listed in the parts list? TIA
Can’t believe this video was made almost 10 years ago
Can you pls put the free build plans for the red color plane
Less talk, more action guys !!
Hi Chaps,Love watching your u-tube videos.Love the music that is played at the beginning.Could you please let me know the name of the number.
from Colombia . I would like to know How did the red plane
