This felt so much better. Just like FT from years ago- less hype and jumping around- more of the core FT sharing, building and flying. Extremely well done and a pleasure to watch Gents! Thank you.
MKme Lab Absolutely!
agreed....blast from the past
MKme Lab Oh my gosh, yes! Nowadays, it’s all just hype like you said and they’re just doing a bunch of crazy things.
Yeah, and this video doesn’t feel like a total add
If they went back to this style, i would be much more watching / liking the stuff
When forming foam, a good tip is to use a low power heat gun or even a hairdryer, it heats up the foam and after you have formed it, the foam will cool down and take that shape, it won’t try to bend back
thank you im going to try that
Wow! Thanks for the tip!
I’m ready to see a B-25 for next month for some fun combat and drop some candy for Halloween
A pe8 would be nice too
For Sure B25 -
Some of us restored the last of - that exists.
Hello I'm interested in building a monster, do you know what motor ESC and battery and servo's they use I can't find any details.
Thanks
Gavin you go to their power packs
@@CalebT_RC Hello there is nothing that big in the power packs. I'm guessing I need a 400 kV motor. I hope they could list the parts to the monster.
Thanks mate
As an RCer who's flown Warbirds from 1/12 scale WWII Combat to Giant Scale (1/5) - I've found that, the larger they are the more docile & predictable they fly. The difference in the inertia makes the small ones extremely sensitive & responsive, whereas the large planes will seem smooth & docile on the controls. Also, if you compare the "Cubic Wing Loading" between large & small planes, it becomes obvious how much more forgiving large planes are. One item that is important and makes a BIG a difference with large planes, is using PROPER Rudder Control. @Josh - Can't be letting your left thumb get lazy like that. It was very obvious on the launch. Also, when performing rolls, even some rudder input will feel like the power steering got turned on for your ailerons.
Would absolutely love to see an Ekranoplan/ground effect vehicle from you lads
Yesss
Genius request.
Give this lad the upvotes, we want a foamy Caspian Sea Monster! Could even make a flat-top carrier version and try landing smaller birds on it. :D
Dont let this one lose on the comments
Please!,
I am so happy to see where Flite Test has gone. I remember back in the old days with Josh and Josh.
I liked it more when it was Drake and Josh
I’m really looking forward to a Master- (and Monster-) Series
B-25 Mitchell! 😃
Yeeesssssss
Yeeeeeeeeessssssssss
Yes, and it could take off from a foamboard Carrier!
I’m really hoping for that too man
Yassssssss
Aluminum foil skin would make this even more amazing!
It never gets old at hearing your excitement when you first launch a new model, great build, great model and great fun. Well done.
I love the p47
Absolutely brilliant design and implementation. Huge props all around. No pun.
Anybody else remember when flite test was for beginners and a cheap way to get your friends and family into the hobby?
I showed my grandpa this video and he said that Silver and gray B-8 (P-47) looks just like his P-47
FT crew, I would really love to see a "Master Plus" series for your models which could offer things such as, 3D printed retracts that you assemble yourself, and EDF power packs to add to your pusher prop designs. I truly believe that some individuals want scale functions/sounds and it would tend to a larger customer base. Been a huge fan for years and have spent hundreds in the store, I support your cause fully!
Could yall make Howard Hughes Spruce Goose plane?
Or put out some plans for it. I want to built it.
No they cannot. Even Howard couldn’t.
NinjaRider777R I bet it couldn’t survive 6 combat sessions at flite fest!
I saw the spruce goose in person a month ago. It's at evergreen air and space museum in mcminnville
Hughes was told by the PTB not to fly it, only to taxi it around Long Beach harbor at the last minute. He wanted to prove it could fly, because it was kind of a joke to his rivals who were already supplying planes to the military.
So he got mad and lifted it out of the water out of spite. It ruined his chance of ever getting another government contract, but he didn’t care. He proved it could fly.
Who else saw the F-16 in the background at 03:02?
😍 Looks incredible I can’t wait
You mean at 3:13 next to the airbus? Yeah those are nice
Hi. Thank you very much for what you do, I look at you from Argentina wanting to do what you do.
Bye.
Great video I had the pleasure of volunteering in the tent where John was building these he was super nice and explained everything as I asked great rc community and family keep it up my friends 😁👍
Now this is a FT video ! Great plane , Great build , great video , less goofing off more building and flying . FF 19 was awesome !
I just stumbled on this channel and found it very entertaining. I made and flew model airplanes before there were radio control planes. We had what was called control lines attached to the elevator. Watching this now makes me wish I was young enough to do this. It looks like good clean and cheap fun guys.
Your'e planes keep getting bigger and better every week, I can't wait until you scratch build a Antonov AN225, lol. Good channel guys I love it !
You guys really are awesome! I bet I could call josh at 8pm tonight saying “I’m driving up from Florida to Canada with the family tomorrow and will be in your area Sunday morning. Was wondering if you wanted to go flying for a few hours.” Mind you I’ve never met or spoke with josh or anyone from flight test. They’re just the most humble, stand-up dudes in the hobby. I pray for more people like you guys (not sure if I’m allowed to use the blanket term “guys” nowadays, but I don’t really care) around for my children to either look up to or hang out with. I’ll probably have to move outside of the state of Florida to have the experience. We shall see. For now, thank you for all you do and the glimpse of hope for our future
Y’all have mighty minis now u need gentle giants. That would be cool to have a giant series. 😀
You guys are awesome!
I’d love to see a Hughes H-4 ( Spruce Goose) as apart of this “monster series”
The razorback has been my favorite plane for a long time, can't wait till you release the kit!
I dare you to make a b-17 scale with the small p-47!
I Have followed your videos since day one and enjoy everyone you've made. You're the reason I actually got into the rc planes. I still build the spitfire and P51 all the time. I could not tell you how many I have actually built over the years now.
It would be awesome if you made a ju-87 Stuka which was a German dive bomber great video by the way
Ooh, especially if they could work the dive flaps to make the screaming sound!
Bunch of great guys having a great time.............I am envious.
Awesome video once again! Props to the flite Test team!😎🔥 @3:28 that C130 is dope🔥😎🔥
*Awesome advert
I want to see John use his master build techniques to make a semi realistic bird. I'm thinking a seagull. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻
When will the P-47, P-38, B-25, B-17, etc be available????????
Your enthusiasm for the hobby is infectious. These big planes are amazing! Great video, I love the view from the chase drone!
Yet another amazing video
My grandfather flew a p-47 in WW2 and I have always wanted to build a plane to look like and honor his! Thank you for doing this!
I’d also love to see a B-52 down the road!
Here's your B-52: czcams.com/video/nkHNWdUCn0o/video.html
Actually this is the first of three (at least) videos on this big bird.
I saw the pepsi can plane and was like woah that looks cool but then he showed his later builds lol
OMG, that's all I can say. Absolutely gorgeous airplane. Well done guys, well done.
I love this so much! Please make massive versions of all your models, they are so cool haha👍👍
Edit:
You guys should talk to redi board about the monster foam so that they can make it and we can then get it in other countries ie. New Zealand so that we can scratch build these big models!
Hey dude, if you're an NZer like me and hanging out for good foam, hit up supermarkets/sushi shops etc. to get those polystyrene foam containers they deliver fish/meat in. They're about 750x300x200mm and the foam walls are about 30mm thick. More work than foam board because it doesn't come in a huge sheet, but it boxcutter-carves/sands/hot-wires great, tough as nails with packing tape over it and it'll tide you over until NZ gets a proper big-foamboard supply. :D I build all mine with it.
LOONSMOCK that is actually a really good idea. I’ve been trying to find a place in nz that sells foam like that to make hot wired flying wings out of. But if you have an Uncle bills near you, i get my redi board from there. Same thing as in the US
@@cameronsteed2712 Not that shop specifically, sadly - I've found a few novelty shops that have foam board but it's like $9 for an A2-sized sheet and I think "screw this, time to go dumpster diving" :P How much is it at the place you mentioned? But yeah, the chilly-bin foam hotwires GREAT. They're easy to set up - my bow uses some steel welding filament I got in a garage sale as the cutting wire, and for power I use an AC/DC adapter I think is from either an old laptop or an old LCD monitor. Bow is just some scrap wood held together by a couple of nails, and a bungy cord for tension. About $12 all up!
@@rcbinchicken I'm from Ukraine and here we use smooth foam 50x50cm celling tiles instead of foam board. Not the ones found in offices but the you you glue onto ceiling. I did some googling and it looks like you guys have these tiles but I'm not sure if there's any smooth ones.
LOONSMOCK it is $3 for a sheet for a roughly 750x500x5mm sheet, but since it’s the American stuff they sell it as 30x20 inches. Cheap as chips.
Absolutely fantastic ,this is what flite test is all about.
Not tryin to bash anyone...but I think it would be a good idea to not have flight fest on the same weekend as Oshkosh in Wisconsin😂
huh? wasn't flite fest last weekend ?
cjpixel I’m pretty sure he said they were getting ready for it this weekend
yep, they shot the video before flite fest. which was last weekend
It's not
Alex Kreske definitely. They’d get more visitors!
Took...my...breath...away! I could have cried it's so beautiful!
Make functioning aircraft carrier with launch & landing capabilities for planes, please
already has been made by these guys
Alexander Van Duijn link then pretty please
I love these videos because they can show you how to build planes and I feel like I would just show up to class one day and say,”Of course it doesn’t fly” *engines turn on* “Oh no wrong model”
Love you channel your a big inspiration :D
That's just nuts... in a good way! Thumbs up!
You guys should make the DeLorean from back to the future movie or the ufo thing in the jetsons the tv show btw love the videos and the channel
Those pop can planes were absolutely amazing. What a creative idea to build out of pop cans. The end result was well worth all the effort it must have taken to build the planes. The other planes were also very impressive.
I really thoght the props should be bigger! Most of prop area is blowing within the plane "engine".
The episode with this guy are really good. Much knowledge and not so much drama. Thanks !
they need to sell these huge kits
Davis kaufman yes
Found your channel just recently ... I was in the hobby briefly when I was younger but life came along and things changed .... I'm from Ohio & love that you're based there - As I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, I have a little more "free time" to live vicariously though others like you guys - Fun channel - Thank you for letting me share your dreams -
You guys should make a quad engine b17 and drop bombs like you did with the p40 and p47. Like so they can see!
OMG!....After 45 years in R.C the 1/4 scale aircraft are the only thing I haven't flown due to cost. You guys inspire me.....make the kits. Master scale Fokker DR1 Triplane would be nice.) Happy Landings.
Guys I have a challenge for you
Build the plane called XP-55
battleship+wings=flying battleship.........
You guys rock.
As my friend geunghyul would say: “MORE TAPE!”
Awesome build & flight. John is a talented fella! Can't wait to see that giant painted up. 😍
Could you guy's make A6M Zero next time please :)
Really cool MONSTER P-47! It's nice how you guys flew the standard FT P-47 with the BIG one! I'm going to build the standard FT P-47 soon!
Any plans for a fw 190?
Way to Go Paul. How about the me 262
yes!
SHADOWDRAGON I’d love to see a Mig15
I'd love to see you guys build a life-size plane sometime. Maybe a P-47 or P-51? It would take a ton of foam, but man, it would be awesome!
When are you releasing the 180% foamboard?
Y'all need to make a video on this guys truck that he is towing his Airstream with. @ 2:02 & 8:12 that thing looks like a beast!
I just realized that I live right beside ege water !!on bard avenue
I haven’t flown since my first son was born, 6 years ago. I was totally into it at one time. I still have about 10 planes hanging in our garage. I’ve been watching Your channel for several days now and it’s making me want to get back out and fly again. I really like that big p47. It’s something I’d want to build. Very cool channel.
Please make the German dive bomber aka Stuka aka Ju 87.
And please do it with the Sirens 😁
I recommended the same thing😃
@@flamezzz9894 Nice 😄
The giant P-47's were soooo cool at Flite Fest. I found the wingtip of the one that crashed. It was just sitting in the crops.
Build a Lockheed Martin f-117 nighthawk it very complicated
Simply amazing!! That big model flew almost like the real thing!
You didn't show the barrel roll from the ground pov :o(
It wasnt a barrel role.
So does this mean there is a MONSTER SERIES coming???? Man I hope so.
Ha, imagine still flying those crappy RC planes you find at the store
Generic bro 216 Ones you build yourself are more satisfying.
interman 77 meh, I prefer not building planes... I have gone through two FT planes AKA I wasn’t able to make them... wasted too much money
@@modelrc9500 try a speed build kit
MM they were speed build kits ;-;. My dog also chewed up motor mount as well
Love you guys, so inspiring. All three of my girls and I are going to be getting into this hobby and it's all because of you and your channel. Your video's are do entertaining that my 5 year old daughter can watch you build a plane start to finish and not lose interest.
Great vid. And 1st comment.
You can form metal with a pressure washer,it's super simple and very wet
All the old guy thou put 10000$ into a moki powered,fibreglass p-47 are crying
That is a cool giant scale P47. Love it.
I need that
I caught myself grinning during that video you guys rock well done now I want one
"DIY" *TAKES ALL OF FLIGHT TEST TO MAKE PLANE*
I loved the jug hug at the landing , it was like father and son!
Monster foamboard Speed Build Kit !!
Great dad building them planes and letting the son fly em, My Dad wouldn't let me touch the used batteries if I payed em. Joking ,he's a good guy.
You guys never stop innovating
Oh My Goddess!!! I've always wanted to try scale model flight, but always was afraid of how fragile and expensive they were until now. These foam builds looks so good and are incredible durable and I like how they are so much slower in flight compared to other which are no were near scale speed and are very intimidating to watch fly and require near super human reflexes to control. I know now that through Flight-Test I'll be able to achieve a dream.
And ANOTHER Great Video, by my Favorite Designers/Builders. So glad I found you, and I've built 5 of your planes so far! (I just wish I could fly them as good as you as Josh B...!). Haha!
Itching to see what you come out with NEXT ! ! !
These foam planes are both fun to build and fly. So far I have built the simple cub, sea otter and the ft-edge 40. The huge p-47 is probably next.
You Guys just keep getting better and better. Thanks for what you all do!!!
Those metal planes were awesome.
you guys have been going big for a long time. now we need a change we need
A SERIES OF LONG RANGE (long flight time) BUILD USING Li-Ion cells!!
I hope you guys read it and make it a reality
I love this video. It feels right. It feels like it used to.
Super job, guys. A clarification about actual and scale speed: The full size warbirds flew 400 to 446 miles per hour. So, a quarter scale warbird flying 100mph is actually scale for these planes. But certainly, you do not have to fly that fast unless you want to put scale power into the plane.
The slow speed of this giant plane is simply AMAZING, and looks so "user friendly". Again, SUPER, SUPER job! I AM SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PLANS : )
What a fantastic build! Now that I have been to Edgewater I enjoy your videos you make there even more because I recognize the surroundings and can imagine I am there with you. Keep up the great work gents!
Flite fest was awesome!!
That was AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Impressed first time I have seen something like this guy is a innovator
It would be nice if you could find out if you can install a retractable landing gear. That would be the icing on the cake! I like the giant P47!
Can’t wait for the B-25!
Those metal planes rock!
