    On todays episode of understanding Flite Test:
    "Winter's coming in hot" = Winter weather is approaching quickly.
    "Back on the build train" = We have started building kits again.
    "Glue globulations" = A large amount of hot glue required to fix a broken airframe.
    "Nom noms" = Rubber bands/zip ties for repairing broken airframes?
    Lol love the vids guys! Finally ordered my Scout SBK and floats! Can't wait to get it together 👍

    You guys are getting crazier every episode and having more fun exponentially - love it!! This was so fun to watch. 😆👍🏼

    Next challenge: throttle on a switch. 0% or %100 no in between😂😂

      OH i like it! ;)

      Exactly what I was thinking! Like what Quadmovr did.

    • @liquidsky5428

      That's what i have setup on my Phoenix 2000. I use throttle stick for flaps and crow.

    Alex & Stefan Dynamic Duo! The highest ratio of laughs per minute (LPM'S) You guys are the best period.

    @HatfieldCW Před 6 lety +4

    I love to see FliteTest people flying FliteTest designs. I fly FT planes almost exclusively, and it's a blast to go out with a buddy, pass our transmitters back and forth and take turns trying to one-up each other. Or maybe we'll just play a game of catch, doing wingtip catches/launches with a Versa or Bloody Wonder or Tiny Trainer until we run out of either batteries or airframes. The joy of flying with friends is a real thing, and FliteTest does a great job capturing that.

    Things only Alex says lol

    Barely built planes, Unstable aerodynamics, Fly Flat Out Challenge, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (You decide which is which), Epic Confirmation that Steel Poles are Harder than Foam, this Vlog delivers seasonal fun and laughs. Great job guys. Here is wishing all of you and and your Flite Test Guys, Gals and Families the very best Christmas and Joyous New Year. My wishes for you in the New Year are continued success and increasing fun filled adventures.

    You gotta love Stefan laughing,he just brings a smile to your face. Even better slowed down in his 'demonic' voice.

  • @ethanfilewych6754
    @ethanfilewych6754 Před 6 lety +18

    The arrows are honestly the best ft planes I have ever built I built 3 of them. (not that I've built alot) but I really like it. Its fun, durable, fast, and easy to build. I don't like the battery door though seems to always come unlatched during flying and there's not alot of space inside for battery.. But never the less I love it. Keep up the good work ft!

    • @benjaminchippeaux4140
      @benjaminchippeaux4140 Před 6 lety

      File's Flyin' I built a twin motor arrow and it flies great

    • @ethanfilewych6754
      @ethanfilewych6754 Před 6 lety +1

      Twin motor?! Where did you put em on the wing tips? haha

    • @benjaminchippeaux4140
      @benjaminchippeaux4140 Před 6 lety

      File's Flyin' nah, they were a little farther out than the servos

    • @ethanfilewych6754
      @ethanfilewych6754 Před 6 lety

      Cool!

    • @FliteTest
      @FliteTest  Před 6 lety

      OH very nice! Files Flyin' WE LOVE the arrow, so glad you have had such a good time!... Benjamin, please create an article or a forum post and post your pics and flight footage... We would LOVE to see this dual motor arrow! ha ;)

    @gavingreen8908 Před 6 lety +19

    do you think you guys could make a dc-3, its a really iconic plane from world war 2 and id think it be really cool to see in RC form

    • @flyfishyfred8730
      @flyfishyfred8730 Před 6 lety +3

      Definitely! But it needs a paratrooper drop rack so you can lay a line of troops like d-day.

    • @gavingreen8908
      @gavingreen8908 Před 6 lety

      yeah that would be really cool!

  • @BigDiesel330
    @BigDiesel330 Před 6 lety +3

    That awkward moment you are trying to go to sleep and you get that Flite Test notification. Also, now you need to make the banner box fly.

    @garrykennedy5484 Před 6 lety +36

    @JorgeTarafa Před 6 lety +10

    I would like to see scale FPV builds and techniques. As in, the Mustang with a scale FPV setup giving the mid-wing over the cowling cockpit view that a real pilot would have.

  • @AlexJoneses
    @AlexJoneses Před 6 lety +15

    Haha, the box would be a fun challenge to make a fuselage with!

    You can make anything fly!!!

    Make the banner box fly!! Like a rocket or vector motor. With enough angle of attack, you could do it!!!!

  • @AlexJoneses
    @AlexJoneses Před 6 lety +2

    I'm working on designing plans for the Grumman f6f hellcat and Mitsubishi A6m Zero (my first warbird) and they would make great foam board airplanes, maybe even a way to test retracts that you could put in future builds.

  • @SycamoreRCSpeedway
    @SycamoreRCSpeedway Před 6 lety

    I already told Austin this, but everyone builds their own ft 3d with fpv setups and then run an rc red bull air race. It's has to be at the shop, and each plane has an onboard lap time sensor. Add the flag poles as a slalom section and a Paradigm PPG pylon into the course and you have yourselves a challenge!

  • @dusterl1472
    @dusterl1472 Před 6 lety

    It would be awesome if you guys could do a video on the equipment you use. Hot glue guns, prop balancers, chargers, scales, paint, any tools or materials. I know you've talked about what a beginner could/should get, but it would be cool to see what you guys personally use.

    Flite test guys please design unswept mini wing for fpv based on diff. thrust like the super bee. I need a simple small build that's gonna do crazy speed like a quad and having some yaw. 4s stuff please ;) Take it as winter challenge or make it then challenge a quadcopter on a simple track. Nice video btw!

  • @addmister
    @addmister Před 6 lety +1

    Hey guys, I'd love to see some more videos on the faomy builds with troubleshooting. In the build videos they seem to fly perfectly first try. Every build I've done I've had all sorts of issues and I've found it really hard to progress past them since I usually have no idea where to start troubleshooting. Would be great to go further into the issues Alex mentioned: slop in the control surfaces and potential issues with vertical stabilisers. Why are they problems, how can you spot them and what can you do to fix them?

  • @SeabornNomad

    This was awesome. How small and light a flying wing can you make?

  • @MrTidwelll
    @MrTidwelll Před 6 lety

    You should do a full throttle challenge flying through the white gates that were up in the beginning of this. Something like full tilt obstacle course with something like the duster and rip slinger.
