Love this " show" you guys are the reason I got into this hobby . I built 6 of the planes you guys have and all 6 are still flying GREAT!!! I've also built 3 multi ( 2quads ) ( 1 tri ) and they are awesome . I have also gotten into FPV thanks to you guy$ lol. At 43yrs old and never flew anything after 1 year I'm totally hooked and now flying anything I want . THANKS GUYS !!!
I built a 400% Old fogey a while ago, i added a plywood firewall, and carbon fibre bracing for the wings. On the first flight the elevator control rod fell off, but it flew so smoothly i didnt notice until 15 minutes later when i landed it. Its now sitting in my shed.
I would like to see a large FT-3D... I think the viggen would be a MASSIVE undertaking, but seeing if the FT-3D can still perform as the smaller version would be interesting to see. I also would like to see the Mustang, but I think that would as impressive as David's Spitfire.
I LOVE the Mustang (it's fun in the simulators too) and the F4U Corsair. I wonder how the P-38 Lightning would handle as an R/C with the twin engines...
Probably like their ft cruiser... I think they are going to make a plan for it. After they released plans for the Mustang that there will be 2 more warbirds.
I loved the flight video and this follow up on how you built them brought it all together! The fact that you guys get so into these builds and and have so much fun with the hobby makes watching very enjoyable!
@pual hicks the biplane that they made (baby blender) is actually based off a larger version they built first. You can check that out in the "will it blend" episode.
I've never built, owned or flown any RC anything. I'm not even sure if I would - but I love watching this channel: just because I'm always in awe of the skills and enthusiasm of these guys. Well done. Subscribed :)
I would love to see a supersized FT3D. I absolutely love the way the big 3D Yak flies in my simulator, and it would be amazing to have one this affordable.
I challenge you guys to put as many motors as you can on an airframe, plane or multirotor, any size. The more motors the better! I just want to see something crazy!
Please do monster FT3D or Simple Soarer.. Simple Soarer like Davids glider from the challenge, but even bigget and reinforced properly.. Thatd be MAJESTIC
Would love to see the Versa Wing Pusher in supersize. The thought of an extra large wing as a FPV/camera platform would be an amazing thing to see in flight.
Hello, excellent work you guys do, you inspire us to build something like you do. I would like to see something like an acrobatic plane like the extra 300 or edge 540, where we could practice some acrobatic patterns like mini imac. Thank you for sharing all your work and hope to be able to support you as well.
I left Ideas/Challenges in the Forums Titled "Several Scratch Build Challenges for thought. I DARE you to build these!" as onewhoistoasted. 4x8 Foam don't have to be used but the Planes Listed would be nice to see built.
NOW you've done it! I already wanted to see a refined, version 2.0, full sized Blender. Now I *really* want to see that. Maybe even bigger than the original Blender.
you have to put two more motors on the cruiser, also for the flying wings, you should try putting the power pods on the the control surfaces (major thrust vectoring)
Ok here is a challenge for you.... 200% (or more) F-18, with Dual EDF, and of course the (fake) afterburner flames for Josh Scott. Love the show, Thank You for all you do, you guys have really gotten me into flying.
I no you guys most likely won't, but I would love to see somthing I don't think anyone has done yet! How about a 200% knuckle h quad or a bat bone, or somthing outrageous in the quadcopter area , that would be epic. By the way good show. And I would like to start a potition to stop Dave from going back to Sweden. Any one second that motion lol.. love you guys..
Ok guys lets try this. A FT B-25. It is my favorite plane and would be great for bomb drops. Even if you dont choose this one what ever you do will be a great plane. Keep up the great work. Oh ya happy 400!!!!!!!
I would love to see yall do the arrow! It look much like today's B2 Bomber in the air! Plus i would love if yall made the Stuka dive bomber. My friends and I have bomb drop compositions but we dont have any that actually look like dive bombers.
Awesome tips guys! Oh here's a suggestion for a plane, how about the versa wing...Oh wait you did, it's called the Kraken!!! Now give us the plans!!! Actually, I accidentally printed out the FT Duster 125% scale and it looks great, just haven't maiden'd it yet. It may be a great 200% plane too!
A real turbine ...in a foam airplane? Now THAT is a challenge. But very expensive and that takes the fun factor out. Multiple EDF units would work tho :)
A friend of my has super sized a Wonder from SIG. He called it the Miracle. Powered by a .45 and it launches directly out of you hand. Super agile and a glider when coming in for landing. Maybe a good idea for you fellows. The Bloody Miracle.
Hey Guys, back when I was in the US Navy, i got the chance to fly in a EC121 Super Constellation. A Conney. It was a 4 engine recip. Probably not doable, but would be really cool.
Enjoyed immensely , thank you. I bet others would love to have a build video sometime if you start doing a few of these big ones a year. It would be nice. Yep. To big for me to carry or put together unfortunately but still awesome.
Great job as usual. Just wondered what the weight of each Monster turned out to be. I assume you're using 3mm foamboard? A big Viggen might be fun :) I have an 84" trainer sold as a kit by a small UK firm call Paper Aviation which I think is made from mostly foam board but with a more conventional build. eg foam ribs for a built-up wing. I fly it on 2 4S 3600mAH in pll and a 5055 700 kv motor with a 14x7 prop. I picked it up part built and finished it, Flies well and moderately aerobatic
Hey guys, love your videos!! Have you ever reproduced a Burt Rutan design like the VariEze or a Quickie or Spaceship One? That would be awesome! Might be a bit harder to build but coolness factor off the charts!! Lots of private pilots around that would like to have them. If you do one, contact the EAA (eaa.org) and see if they will put a mention and pics in their Sport Aviation magazine and website. Their magazine goes out monthly to ~160,000 members. Best regards and keep up the good work. Mike
I echo some of the requests for a Corsair, but I'm thinking of that and maybe a few others in a 150%. Not so large (like the 200%) that the batts, ESC and motors are crazy expensive, but bigger than your basic park flyer 40ish inch wingspan.
AWESOME!! For a couple of suggested airframes to super-size, how about Dusty and Ripslinger? And I have to join everyone else with a vote for the Viggen.
I think you should do a 200% FT 3D That would be awesome. I don't know how big the wingspan is now, but if 200% got to an 80 or 90 inch wingspan, how awesome would it be to bring it out to the club and fly that massive foamie next to the other guys who have 8 grand in their fiberglass 100 cc gas planes. After foam and electronics it would only cost probably less than 200 depending on servos and motor. Then if and or when you crash you don't have to be nearly as sad as the guy who crashes his 8 grand plane. BTW that just happened at the club last saturday, really good guy, actually sponsored and did shows, was flying his maiden on his new 3d plane, flying around and it looked awesome, but all the sudden he went to go vertical and his plane stalled, during the emergency landing he hit hard and flipped it, and broke the rudder. Bad luck for him, but with foam you could just repair it pretty quickly. I want to make the 200% spitfire and the 200% FT 3D. It would be even more awesome to be able to actually make it a swapable so I only have to buy one motor and esc to do both!
I would like to know more about using a 6S lipo like 2 3S lipos. I have a 600 size helicopter that I changer over to 8S and have a couple of 5000mah 6S batteries that are just sitting around. I am picking up a 2M FPV plane soon and running the 6S batteries as paired 3S would be great
This is why you guys rock. It takes a lot of experience and thinking out of the box to make a working model at this scale using foamboard. Well done!!
Love this " show" you guys are the reason I got into this hobby .
I built 6 of the planes you guys have and all 6 are still flying GREAT!!!
I've also built 3 multi ( 2quads )
( 1 tri ) and they are awesome .
I have also gotten into FPV thanks to you guy$ lol.
At 43yrs old and never flew anything after 1 year I'm totally hooked and now flying anything I want .
THANKS GUYS !!!
1. Have you tried using 3-D printer to make the parts?
2. How did you train the crocodile to fly?
I think you all need to make a supper sized viggen with like a 90 mm edf :)
awesome planes great job!!
You have my vote, it would be amazing
That would be crrrraaaaazzzzzzyyyyyyyy
or maybe 120 mm EDF :)
JonitFR
buhahahahaha
In the process of building a 2.4m Piper Cub out of coroplast, thanks for the tips guys!
I wonder if a supersized FT Bloody Wonder would go vertical? My vote goes to the Bloody Wonder.
Great episode guys.
A "supersize" viggen with folding props on the drop tanks like the eurofighter at Neat fair last year!
Awesome job guys
I built a 400% Old fogey a while ago, i added a plywood firewall, and carbon fibre bracing for the wings.
On the first flight the elevator control rod fell off, but it flew so smoothly i didnt notice until 15 minutes later when i landed it. Its now sitting in my shed.

modify the Viggen airframe so it accepts 2 EDFs (or even turbines!), and turn it into a Dassault Rafale or Typhoon, supersize of course
Takeshi M
I agree, but turbine might be a little overkill
200% FT Viggen. If you can get an EDF big enough.
I second this. Please!
2 90mm Fan in a Viggen
I loved the flight video and this follow up on how you built them brought it all together! The fact that you guys get so into these builds and and have so much fun with the hobby makes watching very enjoyable!
Not going to lie, that was one of my favorite episodes.
Thank you guys
Ft f22 EDF would be coooooool. 200%.
@pual hicks the biplane that they made (baby blender) is actually based off a larger version they built first. You can check that out in the "will it blend" episode.
SUPER SIZE FT3D!!!!!. That would be awesome 100cc size
Here I am, sitting through a whole build tip video when I don't even plan on building anything.
That's just how enjoyable your videos are.
A large Biplane would be awesome! Or even a cargo plane like the one foam and tape built, thanks guys! Great work!
Cold war pairing, B52 and TU-95, big bombers flying and dropping goodies. Keep up the great work.
I've never built, owned or flown any RC anything. I'm not even sure if I would - but I love watching this channel: just because I'm always in awe of the skills and enthusiasm of these guys. Well done.
Subscribed :)
Super size F-22 would awesome! Nice job as always.
The 3D would be really neat...watching a giant 3D foamboard plane sounds like fun :)
I would love to see a supersized FT3D. I absolutely love the way the big 3D Yak flies in my simulator, and it would be amazing to have one this affordable.
Awesome, thanks for posting, I feel a big build coming soon :-)
So full of information and inspiration! Thanks guys,great stuff,FT rocks!
Monster Sea Duck! I saw it in the flite fest video and would love to have the plans.
It seems the Viggen would be the winner, but I'm partial to the Guinea and Simple Storch...200% Nutball would be hilarious!
I want to see monster quads and tri-copters! Where is the area of diminishing returns on the length of arms!
I challenge you guys to put as many motors as you can on an airframe, plane or multirotor, any size. The more motors the better! I just want to see something crazy!
Super-sized viggen! Would be awesome to see one before David leaves!
supersize the Viggen? maybe an afterburner?
Please do monster FT3D or Simple Soarer.. Simple Soarer like Davids glider from the challenge, but even bigget and reinforced properly.. Thatd be MAJESTIC
xFunTomCZx Oh, yes please.
Would love to see the Versa Wing Pusher in supersize. The thought of an extra large wing as a FPV/camera platform would be an amazing thing to see in flight.
How about a foam B-52 EDF

Don't know if it's been said but to bend the plywood you can also wrap it in a wet towel and place it in a microwave to steam it uniformly.
This video was is very helpful for my building of my own giant Flite Test Planes 🙂
Really impressive builds, great video
oversized Corsair F4U would be awesome, but can you do that from foam? :P
By the way can you make a video explaining how advanced wing shapes works?
I left Ideas/Challenges in the Forums Titled "Several Scratch Build Challenges for thought. I DARE you to build these!" as onewhoistoasted.
4x8 Foam don't have to be used but the Planes Listed would be nice to see built.
NOW you've done it! I already wanted to see a refined, version 2.0, full sized Blender.

Ok here is a challenge for you.... 200% (or more) F-18, with Dual EDF, and of course the (fake) afterburner flames for Josh Scott.
Love the show, Thank You for all you do, you guys have really gotten me into flying.
Ok I also agree with the other posts, Super Size the Viggen too. :-)
A 200% Viggen would be awesome! That could be David's goodbye for now video
It would have to be a prop driven one though... It would still be worth it!!
Supersize David's Tricopter! See if you can fit a DSLR on it, lol
for people who want tiled plans, the rasterbator is a program that allows you to make tiled printouts of large images.
Rasterbator
One letter away from an awkward conversation...
:-)
A large scale rotor wing or possibly the duster. I think they would fly awesome.
have you guys ever thought of building a B17 bomber Type? I could see a lot of the same tricks you used to make these to make one
I no you guys most likely won't, but I would love to see somthing I don't think anyone has done yet!
How about a 200% knuckle h quad or a bat bone, or somthing outrageous in the quadcopter area , that would be epic. By the way good show. And I would like to start a potition to stop Dave from going back to Sweden. Any one second that motion lol.. love you guys..
Yes! Keep David in the US as long as possible, or at least most of the year, depending on how the passport/visa works.
Josh & David Really Nice Super Size Planes !
Ok guys lets try this. A FT B-25. It is my favorite plane and would be great for bomb drops. Even if you dont choose this one what ever you do will be a great plane. Keep up the great work. Oh ya happy 400!!!!!!!
I would like to see an FT-22 ;)
The P51 mustang would be nice supersized. I'm building a 1400mm version of the FT Mustang and could really use some pointers!
P-47 thunderbolt!!!! It is an amazing looking warbird, and i would love to see it super-sized!!
I would love to see yall do the arrow! It look much like today's B2 Bomber in the air! Plus i would love if yall made the Stuka dive bomber. My friends and I have bomb drop compositions but we dont have any that actually look like dive bombers.
Awesome tips guys! Oh here's a suggestion for a plane, how about the versa wing...Oh wait you did, it's called the Kraken!!! Now give us the plans!!!
Actually, I accidentally printed out the FT Duster 125% scale and it looks great, just haven't maiden'd it yet. It may be a great 200% plane too!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! It would be really cool if you can make a 200% FT-22
200% Viggen
with afterburner XD
no a turbine
u mean an EDF?
No. A turbine jet engine. Look up Turbine RC plane on Google. It is basically the same thing as the Jet engines used in real planes but miniture.
A real turbine ...in a foam airplane? Now THAT is a challenge. But very expensive and that takes the fun factor out. Multiple EDF units would work tho :)
A friend of my has super sized a Wonder from SIG. He called it the Miracle. Powered by a .45 and it launches directly out of you hand. Super agile and a glider when coming in for landing.
Maybe a good idea for you fellows. The Bloody Miracle.
Hey guys, super size a quad rotor! I would love to see you build one big enough to carry a 12" action figure for a pilot!
Thanks for the tips!
Supersized Bloody Wonder with rudder and ailerons brought closer to the body. 3D!
Thanks for being awesome!!
Nice! It would be fun if you guys made an episode with aerial photo/video builds!
I would love to see a FT 3D gasser! I wonder if minwaxing the whole thing would make it fuel safe?
Hey Guys, back when I was in the US Navy, i got the chance to fly in a EC121 Super Constellation. A Conney. It was a 4 engine recip. Probably not doable, but would be really cool.
I don't know how hard it would be but a scratch build T-28 would be fun to watch =) just kind of upscaled more than the original.
I want to see a supersized Viggen. Dual engine
200% tricopter... or because it's a tri, make it a 300% one?
I would love to see a Master series Cessna 310Q design and build. Maybe a future speed kit as well.
Could you make a HUGE FT-22? It would look awesome in the air.
1/3 scale clipped wing cub would be fantastic!
Enjoyed immensely , thank you.
I bet others would love to have a build video sometime if you start doing a few of these big ones a year. It would be nice. Yep. To big for me to carry or put together unfortunately but still awesome.
Great job as usual.

200% Kraken!
I like this idea.
That would be a public hazard...
I've seen someone else do that already! It was, as the Swede would say, HUGE!
Josh Inouye no no no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Mike Kass 1000% kraken w/ a seat!
hi guys great video as normal, here's a challenge build a 200% FT 3D. that would be so cool to see in the air and where is Josh Scott
Awesome video guys! Thanks!
How about building the giant BF109? Great job on the Spitfiire.
A supersized F-22 Raptor or a tricopter (this one would be a real challenge) :D
200% Viggen!!!!
It's Luan (lou-on). Awesome tips guys.
I echo some of the requests for a Corsair, but I'm thinking of that and maybe a few others in a 150%. Not so large (like the 200%) that the batts, ESC and motors are crazy expensive, but bigger than your basic park flyer 40ish inch wingspan.
AWESOME!! For a couple of suggested airframes to super-size, how about Dusty and Ripslinger? And I have to join everyone else with a vote for the Viggen.
Nice builds guys
a monster p-38 would be a sweet plane......
Can i live in a tent outside the FTHQ?
Edge 540 ! Damn! With engine on the foam ! Man something i would suggest!
Pilatus turbo Porter, with flaps and air brakes for slow speed vertical dives!
Awesome jobs on both planes! Would love to see multi-engine WWII Bomber(s); i.e. B-17, B-24, B-25, B29. For single engine, how about P-40?!!

Awesome guys! Thanks and keep up the work!!
200% Bloody wonder would be great! Now that would be a streamer cut episode on a GIANT scale.
super-sized blender would be awesome to see
Do the ft bloody wonder and try to keep the vertical take off. Thanks Zach
josh i want pdf plans of monster ft cruiser please
or can i use the same motor of ft guinea pig on this monster plane
badass the f-22 raptor and put thrust vectoring in it
Do the Bloody Wonder as a supersize. Make it a twin with diff. thrust. If you do the Viggen, add thrust vectoring with twin fans.
b17 wwll bomber is what I want to see you guys make
How about a super size Storch I bet that would be dead graceful like the real one Bet it would slope soar as well
Could you please make a review of the Windstar 2.1 from T2M Racing Products? It would be awesome!
I would like to know more about using a 6S lipo like 2 3S lipos. I have a 600 size helicopter that I changer over to 8S and have a couple of 5000mah 6S batteries that are just sitting around.
I am picking up a 2M FPV plane soon and running the 6S batteries as paired 3S would be great
