Time to go big! In today’s episode, we take your requests and make it a reality. Make a huge FT Retro Rocket and see how much power it can take.
The beautiful thing about foamboard is you are only limited by your imagination. Using the same techniques as our smaller FT Retro Rocket, Josh designs a monster version that can go from mild to wild. As they put this new giant plane to the test, they step up both the power systems and push the envelope of this new design to the limit. Will it’s simple construction handle over 25 pounds of EDF thrust? One way to find out!
Our passion is to help our amazing community, dream, big and do big! This design will be the first monster series made available to the public to outfit in any configuration they want and bring smiles to the faces of all those around them. With a special made to order feature that has now been added to the store, you can build your very own monster FT Retro Rocket.

thank you Josh for sparking the love of aviation into a 12 year old boy. I am 20 now and officially a licensed pilot and wouldn't be where i am today without y'all's amazing videos setting my eyes to the sky. love y'all.
Love ya brother! Also so proud and inspired by you. Thank you for the kind words and for perusing your passions.

It looks like a cartoonish F-4 Phantom. Looks to be a nice flyer .😊
I was thinking the same thing! A little curl on the wings and it would be perfect.
I was going to say it was a "stubby" Phantom, but I've seen cartoon Phantoms drawn similar to that look in the past. FliteTest needs to build a dual EDF version with drooped horizontal stabs.
Am I the only one that thinks it looks like the spaceship from Futurama?
It’s actually the xf85 goblin
Yes i can see it
great plane!!!! And yes to retracts! Guinea Pig and B-25
Funny, when you introduced the Retro Rocket, I knew a giant one wouldn't be far behind. Brilliant!
I would like to see retracts incorporated into mighty mini master series aircraft.
this would be the best
This makes me want to see a park scale space shuttle. Next build idea??
YES RETRACTS FOR MIGHTY MINIS AND MASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Retracts - yes! Not sure of the sizes but for the master's series and for the mighty mini planes for sure. I just finished the skyfx t-28 and I instantly wished it had retractable gear.
Plans would be awesome…..!! I bought a retro version. Can’t wait to get started on it. You guys are out it the park with this one. Thanks for all you do ❤
This is awesome! It reminds me of "Skydiver" the submarine-launched jet from the "UFO" TV series back in the 70's! Gotta have one now! 🙂
Your enthusiasm is infectious!! I want a full size!
That's pretty damn awesome.
I think landing and taking off using landing gear are 2/3rds of the fun flying RC. Any build for me would include retractable for most of the builds but at a minimum fixed landing gear. So a BIG PLUS ONE for LG.
Yes to retracts in the FT store! Or at least post links in the description if you don’t. Thanks guys! Love you all!
Lucas Crater here. Man, finally we are seeing these massive builds made available to the masses! It’ll be interesting to see how many of these show up at FF 24!
I have a request for the next MTO monster. The Scout is my all time favorite FT plane. I’ve done all three sizes, Mini, Simple, and XL. I’d love to have a Monster Scout that uses that 4030 motor and 4-6 cells. Especially now that you have the design for the XL so that the wings are removable. Please, please, PLEASE!
I second this
Yeah! Would love to see y’all carry retracts. That would be another source for those items. The hobby industry has condensed so much and older guys like myself look for reliable shops for stuff!
This is my favorite build from you guys. I can't wait to build the big one with an actual thrust venturing EDF. I have a spare Flex Innovations Flex Jet thrust vectoring unit and the Flex flight controller. All I need is a 10s 90mm EDF to attach to the Thrust vectoring Nozzle. I bet it will hover just like my Flex innovations Flex Jet hovers if I keep the build light. I'm stupendously excited.
It would be great to see you guys at Tyler Perry’s looking at his plane hangar. Also if he came to your site.
Time it right going to Tyler Perry's and you can meet with Ramy RC as well. Would love to see you all playing together.
My high school engineering teacher said, you can get anything to fly with enough power, this reminded me of that.
Yes, retracts! Definitely, I built a corsair I'd love to have retracts on.
Omg it's amasing had to post again this is one of the best plains you have ever made, I want one so bad. Amazing thanks again
keep it up josh keep being awesome i was going toask for this in the comments in the last video
Thanks brother!
For how heavy it is it Flys so well my new favorite 😊
I have figured out this thing looks like! Remember the submarine launched interceptor from the show 'UFO' , from the 70's? THAT'S WHAT THIS PLANE LOOKS LIKE!
Love you guys. Thanks for another great video.
yes to retracts in the FT store!
This is so close to being a space shuttle! Now I want to see a Shuttle!
Now you have the Super Stubby 🎉 awesome build 😊
That flew great!
So cool!!!
just over here grinning at this
insane how clever some of you guys are getting with these, and the drone shots are just amazing
cheers
Such a peach of a flyer so docile yet so good looking nice one boys crack on
small size retracts would be amazing for scratch builds.
Love the vids man
Looks like a fun plane!
Awesome plane! Next, a Mighty Mini Retro Rocket!
Guys...u r having 2much Fun!!!! Good for u 😅😊 I just saw a video this morning of a clear liquid either brush on or spray on that would make any surface of your foam plane rock hard. I think it's from China but acts as strong as Spray X Liner ....
Wow!!!! Cool!😃😃😃😃
Very cool guys... reminds me of the Navy's Gremlin.
That is awesome! I want one
I don't have the proper language right now to describe how amazing this is! Can this help the actual airline industry?
Looks fantastic. Maybe a little nose heavy but that is what the test flights are for. This may be enough to get me to put away the balsa and give this a try.
Awesome 💛💙
looks good
I’d happily buy retracts for your p-38 and p-47 through you guys
Morning bro memang best cara pembuatan kapal mini terbaru di upgred yang penting enjoy kan broo tanks pankonsian nya k
Great Video Guys. One comment...I'm sure you know this but from my experience roughing up the area of glue joints on CF makes a big improvement to strength! Especially when making fillet type glue joints. Keep it up! Watch all your content I can.
oh my god this is amazing
Catapult launch that bad boy
Awesome
Very cool guys! 👍👍👌🤙🖖👊👋
I think you should build a SUPER supersized Kraken and power it with a couple of monster EDF motors with differential thrust but try mounting the EDFs far out on the wings for the maximum offset in thrust
Nice!!! 185% larger... 185% more fun. 😁
I heard you don't have a spar in the wing. I know a place that sells carbon fiber you can use for a spar. LOLz😉
Looking forward to FF2024. I'm hoping to be there too.
Looks like a Jet Version of a G Bee to me. Flies real good.
1/2 F-4 Phantom, 1/2 Space Shuttle...all fun.
It reminds me a lot of Sky 1 from the 70s UK tv show 'UFO' . I know someone tried to build a flying model,but couldn't pull it off.
We might have to revisit that idea then?!
awesome Josh! four words... star fox arwing revisit.
NIIIIICE 👌🏻
He had decided to accept his fate of accepting his fate.
Dramatic oversized wheels would look awesome...really big! Lol
You should do the second Monster Retro Rocket up as the Blue Angel's F4 and have them fly together.
All size retracts!!!!!
What we really need now, is a video of your Giant Retro Rocket flying in formation with Tyler Perry's new giant C-17 Globemaster model...
Spec wing is the best on wings.
Is that the same Tyler Perry from taofledermause fame? Dudes a backdoor CZcams hero!
Intro shot reminds me of the zorgon spaceship from the Zathura movie. After googling what that looked like it's only loosely similar but thanks for the nostalgia 😊
De locos el trabajo que hacen estos muchachos. 😅😅😅
I love your video
He figured a few sticks of dynamite were easier than a fishing pole to catch fish.
Do any have a foamboard recommendation that we can get in Scandinavia
Where can I get that retract without buying the KIT?
Retracts for UMX size and up!
Is that a flyfly hawk in the background?
You should make a master series f22 with features really close to the real one.
also make it thrust vectoring
Chonky mode engaged..flies like a Jedi piloted starfighter!
We need a bronco XL!
where did you guys get the retractable landing gear in the video? I'd love to add something like that to a few of my larger planes--would absolutely buy it if you guys started carrying them
We got it for my good friends at Robart. :)
@@FliteTest Thanks, I'll have to check them out! :)
Aircraft DEMANDS to become Jet.
Now. How small can you make it? 🤣❤🙌
Hey, what if we made a version of the wings simulator on Moble? It would probably get a lot of people into the hobby as almost everyone has one!
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦
Can I order one them plains bare bones one were it's ready to fly after I install motor and electrical servos cams ect I am disabled and this would get me outside... I will wait for your feed back.
Thank You
y'all ever consider putting your FPV cams in clear plastic eggs to make them aerodynamic? does it matter? seems they'd be cheap and easy ways to do it to me! 👍
Any Flite Test eclipse plans?
All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.
i want to put my long range system on that, do yuou have them for sale?
you guys could easily make something much faster, and you should because that would be an awesome video
We need a space shuttle variant with that wing
I am completely green in research stage and I’m plan on getting into this exciting hobby any suggestions on a very fun build ? I can’t seem to decide what my first project should be . I plan on 3D printing my parts . Or should I build with foam ? I’m having a decision issue
slingshot ramp?
If that thing is at FliteFest, then it needs a Kraken style trial by fire!! (Aka "Kill The Kraken!!" as a certain Swede would say!! 😁🔥)
I think of the exploding spitfire from many years ago. Seems like a European dude had a cool idea.
USAF APPROVED
cool
I’d love some retracts on my Guinea pig and mini Corsair
I love it. AllI can say now is Space Shuttle. What do ya say. Can you do it.??????
What retracts did you use on this build? Do you have it on the store?
DC-3 EDF
wonder how fast something huge with feather-light wing-loading would go before it becomes uncontrollable
We are wondering the same thing. Maybe we need a Bigger EDF to find out?
It looks like El Chupacabra from the Pixar movie planes
Front on it looks like an F-4.
