    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.

    It looks like a cartoonish F-4 Phantom. Looks to be a nice flyer .😊

    • @daishinooni97

      I was thinking the same thing! A little curl on the wings and it would be perfect.

    • @sewing1243
      @sewing1243 Před 5 měsíci +3

      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.

  • @jasterhsk
    @jasterhsk Před 5 měsíci +3

    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.

  • @flipcitybill
    @flipcitybill Před 5 měsíci +1

  • @subnats

  • @hifinsword

    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.

  • @sconner
    @sconner Před měsícem

    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!

  • @thomascarmichael6760
    @thomascarmichael6760 Před 5 měsíci +9

    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!

  • @FarmerFpv
    @FarmerFpv Před 4 měsíci

    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.

  • @leospitz6541
    @leospitz6541 Před 4 měsíci

    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

  • @WindCatcherRC
    @WindCatcherRC Před 5 měsíci
