This looks so awesome! Please invite Adam Savage and Tested next year. He has mentioned that aerial DD is something of the most fun things he has done and I would love to see a collab on this :D
I'm totally onboard with this idea. Think about this, CBS! A fullblown mini-season of FliteTest/Mythbusters collaboration. Can you even agine the carnage?
No
@@Illness.og. shut
@@Illness.og. shush edgy kid
@@felixbui9818 no
That was a pretty solid hit. Not much would have withstood that.
Great job, josh heres an idea next time do folding props on front and rear that way with impact they fold and are able to take the impact.
Ducted fan units instead of props
@@divelizard1966 EDF props are very fragile
@@JaasimMulla internal edfs would be fine
@@Thatssocool9100 I was thinking of a design with internal edf's. now that I think about it Peter's leaf blower plane could be an option. (well, the intake of the leaf blower with a edf)
i think this "glassed" design is a big improvement but i think you should mount the props at the trailing edge of the wing so you can ram other planes without causing prop damage.
Try a ducted fan Kraken Juggernaut. That might make it even more hit resistant.
You'll basically end up with a H0-229. I see this as an absolute win. Would twin ducted fans provide enough thrust though?
Shesssssss
I've been toying with this idea for a while now. Any thoughts are welcome. I was thinking along the lines of a large ( 1.6 meter), lightly loaded foamboard wing with a pair of 4s 64mm fans. Already have one from a crashed Arrows Marlin and simple enough to order a match from Hobby Zone. What are y'all's thoughts?
I think it might just run out of battery. EDF's don't last long
I was just thinking that, some way of shielding the props from hits and even stuff like the string, assuming thats within the spirit of the event. I am guessing its meant to be more for fun than "being the best". I'd love to see something like a Do-335 in the FliteTest foamboard, that would be a beast of a plane speedwise
I flew a duct-taped covered Bloody Wonder in every combat I could, supplemented by a mini combat winning mini Sparrow. At the end of Flite Fest, I scrapped the Bloody Wonder, but a family in Tennessee grabbed it and it flew again! My Wonder became a Versa Wing, and it's looking for a re-match with the home built that took it down in epic fashion. Best part of Flite Fest: Foam carnage!
Video idea: try fiberglassing a 3D printed plane, it’d be cool to see how strong it would become 👍
or print a mold, fiberglass that, and have a 100% fiberglass plane
"Heres my friend that hit me!"
The guy that really took him down with the string: 😂🙂😐
I am so glad I slapped that string on before I got airbourne
@@bowmanzz1 lol It is you, you are like a celebrity to me right now 😂
@@bernardberben4852 I guess I was just at the right place and right time in those combats
@@bernardberben4852 czcams.com/video/PEcABBtqdpI/video.html
@@bowmanzz1 So was that a defencive device you added or just string you forgot to take off of something? I'm no expert on RC plane fighting but is that string a common thing?
Love the combat! Suggest putting 80% of the glass along the leading edge because it's very difficult to get a solid hit in the back.
this was so much fun to watch I'd love to be there in person
Truly an EPIC crash-n-burn! Done with style👍👍👍
Man it was so cool keep on doing it guys love it
More of these adds! Emax participation on this video is superb! Alleluia!
My 2 or 3 cents:
Mount the Props in the wings, in armored nacelles
Armor the servo and connectors with pvc
Include a stiff spring in the servo connection to dampen any impact on the control surfaces,
Lastly make a 4 engine design, with pusher and puller engine providing primary thrust, and key the side engines to provide up to 50% forward thrust, but up to 100% when using them for yaw control
Always great videos. This Old Man from North Carolina really enjoying. Love you guys and what you are doing for our Hobby. ✈️😎💝
Hellooo!!!
Can you please do an A-10 Warthog vs A-10 Warthog dogfight? (The one with the bb machine guns in it?)
That would be SICK!!!!
LOVE U GUYS!!
Let’s push to make this happen!!

I love these combat videos!
I fully was not ready for that first plane you took out to be so cleanly sliced in half!!! That was gnarly! Great video guys!
VERY VERY entertaining! Awesome!!
Holy crap that looks like so much fun!
You should put fuses in those individual motor pod circuits. The string loaded that motor down to the point the current (Amps) spiked and the temperature reached ignition.
Use a fuse to survive!
It looks an immensely fun day 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow truly awesome we’re down in the best way in flames what a spectacle thanks so much for sharing
i love it. so friggen wholesome. great event.
Ahh, just found this channel. What a treat. 😊
That was crazzzzzeeeee!! Very cool!!! Looks like that streamer was on there for a few!!!
Thanks guys you rock! Love the channel and content keep up the great work! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
That was Fun to watch!! 😊😎✌🏻👍🏻
Amazing work...👍✌️💐🤝🗺️👽
I loved when Kraken took down that big plane, so easy with fiber glass. Maybe EDF despite it's lower static thrust would be reliable solution for carnage, especially with fiberglass case and protected intake.

That was dope!
Amazing!!! Still loving the content guys.... keep it coming!!
U need to stock ur stuff in the UK too 😂😂
That looks like so much fun
Imagine showing this to an old school pilot. Their eyes wouldnt no what theyre seeing haha
It looked like the stealth B-2 Bomber! good job I love it!
Yahooooooo!,!!!!!!!!
Flite test: we're reviving the Kraken
Ace combat community: (symphonic battle music begins to play)
lol yes
You guys should make an SR-71 Blackhawk or an F117 Nighthawk rc plane. I used to fold paper airplanes, I'd come up with the designs myself for many of them, my most proud work was a perfectly replicated F117 and an F4 Phantom.. did that when I was in middle school.. good times.
The SR-71 Blackhawk is one of my favorite aircraft of all time I hope they build it.
Well achshuleee the UH-60 is the Black Hawk, and the SR-71 is the Blackbird.
@@Xiphactinus close enough, it's been years since I've done any real looking into airplanes, I'm surprised I can still remember the numbers.
Its not possible to build nighthawk. IRL this plane have fly-by-wire, cause he's not possible to fly without them. If somebody'll build, it won't fly. Its phisicly impossible for human.
@@NietoKT they have the Aurora module now so perfect opportunity
Anyone notice how absolutely EXCITED that young lady was during the build? She could hardly contain herself! 😂
Awesome video guys!
That was pretty epic. Two plane kill like a boss both times 👌🏽
Lol the big plane splits😂😂😂
Amazing!!
Beautiful
Awesome!
Please make a Monster Series F4 Phantom RC sometime soon!
Your plane caught fire. That was epic
This channels videos are insane
It's so hilarious guys 😂
I love the heavy use of the word carnage here 😎
awesome!
this was cool
13:54 that laugh! Diabolical supervillain style 😆
Glass Kracken
Awesome.
Happy summerween ! ☺
You guys should make the turbocat from SWAT KATS
Epic!!!
That is the ARROW design of the DO 335 - the fastest piston engine fighter of WW2
2 motors in line
And not the mustang ;)
Since now u guys have new members of the team, its about time u did another challenge n see who comes up tops! Design a small plane (smaller the better, no plans or pre cuts) from 1 foam board each and use the smallest motors u got. Have some mini fun after all the monster builds 😂
The kraken is back in action!
You, guys, are crazy 😂
its awesome
WoW!
Just a tip, Small paint rollers work 10 times better and easier to apply glass and resin.
Just a pusher version would have lasted longer 👍 great video 👌
What an epic crash 💥
I'd say go to pusher props but maybe 4 smaller ones with small vertical stabilizers above and below the wing inline with the engine pods.. That would at least lower the chance for the string entanglement. You might also consider one extra layer of glass on the leading edge.
9:33 there is a batplane! so fun
what it would be like to recreate historical air battles.
Just put some mini paintball guns on it
Flitetest forever
instead of sanding do a test piece where you wipe the surface lightly with acetone, enough to wet it and evap dry quickly. I think you find a new fast and better process. try a test piece on plastic also you will be pleased
Amazing! Wish I could of been there.
13:52 - Evil Josh comes out. Lol.
1:28
When your girlfriend comes over to hangout but you were installing something on your car and don’t really wanna stop
good fun
Perfect shot of Lee and Nick with the extinquishers!
You guys are great. Is there any way you could do something related to crimson skies? Its a great zep- punk style aviation themed video game/pc game. The planes featured in it are cool, not to mention the zepplins they take off and land on.
Best Fight EVER !!!! Wish there was a "Super Like" Button!!!!!!!!!!
Great video as always!
And a little tip; You guys should use mask while messing with resin and fiberglass.
Everyone: paying attention to what the 2 ppl are talking about on the call.
Me: Wait a minute,.... arent Darkrai and Giratina pokemon?
exactly
I know it sounds crazy BUT superglue + black contractor trash-bag = indestructible.
Y'all might also try an "Isadora Duncan" defense by lightly attaching strands of 4lbs test trout line to the tail to foul anybody sneaking up from the back...
Now I have to A) Build a plane and B) Come to Ohio and participate in this event. Mad fun!
Was that an A10 that did the second takedown?
Looked pretty solid for a modular fuselage.
Smallest swept wing craft possible!!!!! 😎
I want them to make cup heads plane if they haven’t already done it
Cool
That thing was cutting through airplanes like a buzz saw who knew that a string would take the kraken out
Imagine a flamethrower turret on a giant kraken
It'd be cool to make a hybrid between a drone and a plane, so when the plane breaks, it'll stay in the air through upwards thrusting motors XD
This is truly some quality content
I would love it if you could make a concord fly thay have a bad reputation but im shure that you guys could make it happen and would make an amazing addition to your store
EPIC!!! All that just to flame out to a string.. honestly think you would have been able to pull out otherwise
I like this, good project.. Maybe next time i can watch on CZcams, someone build flying fortress, put bb and defends it from another planes attack
Wish this was in Florida
happiest place on earth if your gonna ask me
Do it with tanks and planes at the same time!!
Wow this video hasn’t been the most popular
nice
