Very impressive!! You all worked as a team and it paid off. Hope you give it another go next year!
woah taofledermaus! all of my favorite channels are connected!
Damnit Jeff, do you watch every damn video I do. Steal my Sub list? Good vid on the chain reaction earlier.
glad to see you here.
🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Congratulations Flight Test! Great way to show how starting by building and designing RC planes can lead to so much more! It is not just a toy, but a learning tool that can lead to some great careers. Keep up the amazing work!
So many good builders tried but FliteTest just simply nailed it.
Congrats on 500,000 subs! Looking forward to seeing more ludicrously good FliteTest content!!!
OK now this need's to be made RC..
Make it Rc. Or just put a motor on it and fly it
yeah, I really want to see this flown RC, twin engine should do it nicely.
Unfortunately we would have to MAKE another one! ;) Mainly because they crushed the other one at Flug Tag! ha
S.O.
Sweet... Soooooo we should see a video in... what... about 2 months..?? :) :)
Is that part of the contest? I mean, I know most of them are destroyed by the crash, but yours seemed to land relatively unharmed...
KILLED IT! CONGRATS!
I still want a speed build kit of this, I also want David Winstall to mount rockets on it
That was awesome, great job on the build
You came back. Thanks guys
you guys should put a tiled plan of the rib section on your site for download, that would be awesome
Looks like a very advanced Ugly stick. Unreal team work.
Hahahaha good one!!😜
Hihi.... Totally awesome how Josh tries to pronounce Flugtag. I really love the insight-videos! Keep it up!!
I've been toying with using honeycomb cardboard in place of foam for larger scale aircraft as it is about the same weight as foam, or marginally lighter, but it is way more rigid. Slicing it span wise and also build in the aerofoil shape so the wing skin becomes a rigid surface
You guys are awesome! Well done.
Full size rc build now please!
Nice job!!! Congratulation...
OMG I learned a lot from this video, THANKS.
I did not know how simple it is.
Again thanks
Love what you guys do. Keep up the great work.
Because the wing is always in stall on that plane, I'd make the horizontal stab full flying. It will grab more air just before he hits the water and get some more distance. Some version of Horner tips on the wings will help too. Great job !!!
Ya'll failed to mention you WON!!!! Nice job. I hadda go watch the whole thing.
this is awesome guys!!!
I left this channel about a year ago, I decided to take a look at how its been, well let's just say these guys should earn another 1 million subscribers!!!!
Awesome video. Congrats again on winning.
brilliant flying.
Very impressive ............. great work .
You guys are awesome keep the videos coming BROTHER...👉👉👉👉
You guys are amazing
Awesome per usual!
That is amazing !!!
I would love it if you put all the measures for it
It's awesome
Simply brilliant.....
You guys are awesome for sharing your methodologies to everyone, including next year's competition.
Are multi-wings allowed? I think you could achieve much more effective wing area in a smaller span with a bi or tri-plane. You probably can reduce weight using and school tension wires instead of a cantilevered wing. cables are draggy, but that won't hurt you much at the low speeds. Of course you guys used building techniques that you use daily. it is amazing how quickly you put it all together. Victory at Flugtag after hosting a world record achieving Flite Fest. You guys are amazing. Keep it coming!
so cool, love your video

Congrats on 500k!
You guys should have used clear mono-coat, its lighter than the dyed stuff.
What's the mono coat ?
Excellent !
Some of us are waiting for FT to do something Giant Scale. Not sure if this qualifies. ;) You were starting to generate some good lift there. :)
How many aircraft engineers do you have working there? Simply amazing. Geekin out ova heeyuh.
I bet this will be awesome if you put a motor n it.... Great work guys
Amazing!
i was there! i had no idea that that plane was yours, but I knew it was going to go well!
I think you can make one that will fly even further! Will you be in the contest again?
How much did the wing weigh? The whole plane? That wing worked very well - very stiff, no sign of bending or twisting. Scaling things up can be the biggest challenge, but I think you guys nailed it.
Even though, for me, it takes a long time just to build aFt style planes, i can't help but want to build balsa/ rib and srick stick style planes one day. All the structures and shapes are just so..., nostalgic.
Great distance, good airfoil. But, I NEED to know if this glider wings will actually fly further than your Flugtag flight.
can you guys please build some sort of glider attachment for a bike
Great job and video. If you save weight it would have flown a lot further. The box spar could have been hollowed out towards the wing ends, saving a bunch of weight, increasing the launch speed.
Sweet!, now make it RC. Im sure Peter will have some good ideas about how to do that.
So I really hope you guys are going to rebuild that thing and fly it again. Maybe this time off a higher cliff so you can actually fly it around a bit.
Way to show those guys how it's done!
Sick a little Honda engine on it and cruise around.
Awesome!
Cool! The jump from R/C to hang gliders/ultralight sailplanes isn't that huge is it?
Hey, an old guy! (Background Bob) Yay!
hay im an oldddd guy too
Same here and love it.
I thought Flight Test was a bunch of young-ins. I had no idea an old guy was behind the scenes. It's good to see someone with gray hair.
hey I'm 28 n have sum Grays, alot, lol, but remember the old guys were in it first and are always behind the scenes, it's kinda like our wives, behind the scenes but u no for a darn fact they wear the pants lol, same with the RC, but usually not a female lol always got that elder giving direction
hahaha im old enough to be youre daddies greatgrandfather ahahah
I can always trust +FliteTest to do flugtag properly!
Just read in the comments that you won both overall and people's choice...that's awesome!
Just imagine how far you could have gone with more velocity at take off?
Australia has this at Moomba called the birdman rally! last 30-40? years looks like great fun, you blokes put a lot of $$$ into yours!
flugtag in german literally means flight day if my school boy german is right.
it is
Correct :)
yes it does ;D
ja das stimmt
yup
NICE!
Where can I get the wing profile diagram?
Its Josh Scott again!
Super cool
Es una pena, pues ese diseño podria volar en ladera o termica sin ningun problema...
Good video.
Can you make a video about how to design and build a wing because we need that for a project in school you guys did amazing
he mentioned the software he used in the video.
WickdPerfekT do you know software name.
I need that software. I hope you can help me :)
he says at 2:35 it's called DevWing.
Does this fall under FAA part 103 for under 155 pounds for a unpowered ultralight? 🤔 Great work guys!
Congrats on the win! Did any of it come back with you?
Rumors are that Chad stole the tail. ;)
Ha Rumor is true...but...the tail is actually here at HQ in North Canton ;)
I like your channel's profile picture, lost is my favorite tv series
It would be nice to hear from Chad what it was like to fly it. Also, what did you learn from the flight. 100% success? Could it have flown further if your did X Y or Z. Thanks,
I wonder if Rotor Riot will put up an episode on this too?
If you decide to try this again, run a sheet of your covering from the tip of the wing to the front of the tail. As long as your pilot can keep his feet out of the water, he can use ground effects to stay aloft longer.
devwing???? yeaaaa finally my 1000 inquiries answered thankssssssss
So is the spar on this solid wood or plywood paneling with a foam core?
gonna copy it, build a motor on it. Then laugh as i fly away and watch all lozers walk
Better hope that bolt holds you
Naegleria Fowleri im skinny so i wont be much weight
If you really do it you should get a polini Thor engine. I recommend a 250cc or 200 evo is pry the best
turnigy rotomax 150cc and your good to go
OpfeKuacha how much power would a scooter engine perform. Scooters keep getting faster and the engine is relative small
I really want to build one of these! Any suggestions? Especially how to make the spar template as I do not have a laser cutter.
Ruler & protractor.
Lots I blood and sweet went into it I can tell. Great work on designing it! Maybe next year you'll do better if u do it! Again great job! Just keep doing what your doing it's a great channel for rc lovers!
Lots of* my bad lol
Is there a speed build kit coming soon?
Seriously though, you should design a small one and sell the speed-build kit. I'd totally buy it. Call it the Miniatur Flugtagflugzeug.
wauw so coool thanks for sharing
Well done Flite Test and Rotor Riot "FLITE-RIOT" for 1st place RED BULL FLUGTAG BOSTON AUGUST 20TH, 2016
Where do you find 1/2 inch thick foam??? Thank you, Matthew
Im still going to make one of these. What is the plastic sheet you wrapped around the wings? You said it was monocoat but monocoat is a liquid that protects the floors. Thanks!
MonoKote.
Are you guys going to do a video on the new 210 quadcopter frame?
I have not seen a Flite Test product without review and build video. So the chances are pretty high :).
I know you said no plans...but you could do a mini version, something the size of a chuck glider and it could be the focus of a STEM project for schools to have their own Flutag, making gliders to carry a specifically weighted payload (something like a teddy bear or Alex's gorilla....)
Darn no speed build kit! Need you turn it into a powered ultralight!
Wow half a million subscribers!
hey flite test can you explain in a video how the wings must twist for the plane to turn
nice| great job
like
Hey flite test crew I got so interested in flying. I build rc airboats because that's all I have is one transmitter, receiver and a servo. I don't have money to buy your kits and really want too, I'll download the free plan and build it but it will be a while for me to get the money for the 2 more servos and a battery. Look out for my video of one of you guys plane. I know what I'm asking for Christmas hopefully! Keep up the awesome video guys!!!
lol trial by fire for the new guy , looks like he did great tho. love this project guys you should do another with a motor and make a giant rc
oops didn't realize this was a year ago , new sub lol
Please motorize this! i want to see it so badly! At least at some point you guys need to make an easy to build full scale plane, that would be super cool.
Dear FliteTest,
Over the past few months I have saved enough money to build one of these, and I am having a little trouble finding out how to make the wing template you used to cut out the foam. Everything else I have with me, but I cannot start the project without a template. if you could tell me where to find the dimensions of the template that would be great. I already tried DevWing but it does not work for macs sadly
Thanks!
You better get super eletric motors and RC this thing asap!
Tempting to find a huge hill and launch it. It looks like it has great potential as a maned glider.
+FliteTest: What is the rear boom made out of? Fiberglass or carbon fiber?
Just curious, what did you do with the plane after the event was done?
Flugtag rules state that all the aircraft are destroyed.
In god's name... WHY?, I guess so you can't use it (or parts of it) in next year's "Flugtag"?
maybe but i also think its so that people dont spend a lot of money on them, why would you if it just gets destroyed
shame you didn't have enough elevator authority. I'm sure it would have glided much further. Even so, well done guys! A brilliant design, construction and flight! Kudos!
are you going to turn it into an rc after the flutag?
Flugtag is German (but also used in Swissgerman and Austrian) and means Flightday. PS Congrats for 500k subs!!!!!!!
Was that a big FT Arrow I saw in the shop? I love the mini arrow. Are the plans for the big one available?
Where, when? How did I miss it again? Is it possible it was an older Versa Wing?
It was!
JB
+Josh Bixler thx Bixler are plans on the site?
Not yet as far as I know. But having it on display like that means it's at least in beta testing, so it won't take long :)
Could you make this powered? And would it be Part 103 compliant?
can you guys make it pedal powered now? that would be awesome!
how many rolls of covering did you use for the whole craft?
Put a motor on your huge glider! That would be amazing!!
What is the name of the software they used to design the wing?
Is this going to be a swappable?
