Thank you for developing this new power pack! Our school’s RC club flies daily in a gym and this will be a great opportunity for some experimentation by our students. Plus, my son is 5 going on 6 and has wanted to join the fun. I am so happy to have something coming out that will be approachable for him. Keep up the good work!
The fun will be over because the FAA is shutting down RC. Your Kids will never get a chance. Get them into skateboarding instead. They won't need a dad around for that.
@@LuciusKyrus the FAA needs to work with the RC clubs and educate the few who either dont already know (or dont care) about the risks of flying into flight paths. It's the same here in Canada. Register with an RC insurance company and join a club. Fly at registered fields instead of just anywhere you feel like it... Its safer and contained. Everyone is happy.
Dude yes! Do it! Honestly, start with slow flying planes, get it off the ground and a few mistakes high and just get used to the controls. It doesn't take a lot to get started anymore, and theres nothing quite like flying.
So what we need is a trick design that flies, then the Saucer or Command Section separates from the Warp engines and center nacelle... and BOTH take off flying!
The "disc" is the saucer. After this you need to make a RC Enterprise that has a flying saucer section that can detach from the stardrive to make two ships like Enterprise D while keeping both under powered flight.
Damn, Guys ...I had a mouth full of coffee when you were showing how loud the motors are ... then the scene with the goat yelling ... Now I have to clean up all the coffee that came flying out of me ...freakin coffee everywhere.
Hi Balu Weißt du als Insider ob ein Flite Fest Europe in Planung ist? Ich denke, viele hier würden sich freuen, da eine Reise in die Staaten mit mehreren Fliegern im Gepäck aufwendig und teuer ist. Ich hätte auch eine super Location:. Den Flugplatz Brilon/Hochsauerland (EDKO). Der Platz hat eine Asphalt Bahn, gute Infrastruktur und ist klein genug, um ihn für ein Wochenende für full scale zu sperren.
@@dr.loopinglooie5748 Planungen gab es mal, sind aber wohl auf ein Abstellgleis manövriert worden im Moment. Ich habe zumindest länger nichts in diese Richtung gehört. Im Moment sind neben Ohio nicht einmal mehr zusätzliche Flite Fests in den USA geplant, was sie ja auch machen wollten, um näher an die Community zu kommen. Im Moment sind einfach zu viele andere Sachen auf ihren Schreibtischen mit der Community Association, Edgewater Airpark und Co. Brilon fände ich als Münsteraner natürlich großartig ;-).
Man merkt, dass sie immer mehr zu tun haben, aber schön finde ich das nicht. Ich weiß nicht genau, wie ich es formulieren soll, aber mir hat das alte Flite Test besser gefallen. Aber so ist das halt, wenn man expandiert wird man immer mehr zu einer Firma und die nähe zur Community geht verloren. Eigentlich schade, aber zum Glück gibts noch das Forum.
Versucht doch was eigenes auf die Beine zu stellen! War mal interessant. Flybrei keimt ja auch grade. Die werden in Zukunft bestimmt auch noch wachsen. Viele Grüße ins Sauerland!!!!
FAA: No builds Ps: Zu den Kommentaren unter dem Kommentar: Aber um da Leute hinzubekommen, bräuchte man einen Kanal oder eine Website mit ähnlich großer Reichweite...
Ok. This EZ pack sounds awesome. I’m about to be a 9th grader, and it could be just what I need to start an indoor flight club at my school. At the very least, good for my own purposes!
That's one of the most awesome things FT has created in years. Two incredible models, and that EZ Pack looks amazing, you've the perfect starter pack right there to get kids having fun in the hobby! With these kits you're basically turning foamboard into airborne Lego!
I used to always buy AirHog rc planes when I was younger and after a couple months I would take them apart and build my own planes using the motors..Had a lot of fun
love it as a 60-year-old star trek fan this is awesome I am going to have to make one but a lot bigger and make the saucer section detachable like two planes in one now that would be cool.
You guys are the best. Not only you ALWAYS provide great content, you also show that no workbench is ever complete without a one gallon plastic jug of cheese puffs!
Just want to let you guys know that I think you all are doing a great job to keep this hobby alive and well. Thank you for that. I also just filled out the form and sent it hopefully with all of us together we can stop this ruling going through.
I hope it's not just me, but I see the easy pack to be a really amazing prototyping kit for basic or experimental builds. I'm really loving this keep up the amazing work guys.
Yes yes yes. I love how they do both star trek and star wars stuff. I like how josh's son is getting in on the action, I wonder when they will give him his first build project. what a great example of how flight can bring father and son together, very important these days. Please make a huge enterprise and a huge Klingon bird of prey. and since they are allies, they could both team up against a couple of Romulan ships. they could also fit the big ones with a laser pointer and have them try to take on a borg cube. yes i am huge nerd.
I bet that Flite Test is inspiring more kids around the world to pursue aviation than any other organization right now. Literally the next generation who become pilots, scientists, teachers, and the next group of explorers to walk on Mars and beyond; some will have started watching Flite Test as a kid. Mark my words.
Time for a Fire mans pole off the edge of that balcony so you can get down faster and....Dude that is awesome! I am totally buying that little pack and building a back yard flyer!
"absolutely detrimental" doesn't really hit the nail. Absolutely devastating is more appropriate. Underselling the gravity of the changes and the impact on our community is only gonna help people think they don't need to act.
Back in the 1970's me & a buddy built the Estes Enterprise model rocket. We took it to the park & launched the rocket. The saucer section acted like a wing & caused the rocket to level off & fly laterally over a girl's softball team game. I just remember the game stopped & the ball players looking up at the Starship Enterprise flying over their ball field, very funny to watch LOL.
Eat your heart out Air Hogs! Those toys were actually my first venture into fixed wing RC, but both them and tough foam were just awful for me! Ironically since they were so bad they forced me to research what could be better, and I found true hobby aircraft and then you guys!
@@-BUFFALOMan While Paramount might think it cool, FT is going to be selling something based on IP they don't own. Since they don't own it, they have to get the license for it so that they can sell models based off of Paramount's IP. This video is clear evidence that indicates that they know that these model designs are based off of Paramount's designs, so if they don't license them, they'll get sued hard and lose.
@@-BUFFALOMan Yeah, well, if you ever own a business, I hope you're smart enough to ask a lawyer before you start selling other people's things and get the correct answer, because obviously you "Know better" in spite of knowing nothing. I'm no lawyer, but I do know that you need to license the IP if you intend to sell something based on something that someone else owns. To think that those laws only apply if you "sell millions" or that the company won't protect their IP by suing small companies because they aren't making enough money, is foolish ignorance. May the courts have mercy on your bank accounts...
@@-BUFFALOMan Sure man, whatever you say. I'm "afraid" and know nothing about copyrights, patents, or infringement. Ask your lawyers, since you're a business owner and everything. Good luck, peace.
NOW...you've DONE it...! Every kid will HAVE to make one! Haha! Thanks so much, you guys... For being an inspiration to ALL People - Everywhere! (When you Love your work, it isn't WORK - but Pleasure...!)
Bird of Pray at 400% of current size would be instantly sold out! Awesome sloper, park flier, dare I say perhaps even thermal!!!!!! I would dump a couple of good brushless motors, good cells, and awesome paint job into that bird! With only a little redesign it could look like an X Wing star wars fighter!!! Good luck guys, you all rock!
Years ago I bought an Enterprise at a swap meet. It was 50% larger but looked very much the same. It flew great until I crashed it. It had a very unique feature. THE SAUCER WAS AN AIRFOIL! Very different! The airfoil was symmetrical all 360 degrees. It was flat on the bottom but curved on top. Resembled the “real” one. Kind of like a drum cymbal. Try an airfoil saucer!
Has the Easy Pack come out yet? It's something im super interested in purchasing to get into the hobby. If it has come out can someone reply with a link. If not then an estimated price would be awesome. This looks really good fun tho. 👍👍👍
These would be perfect for indoor flying during the winter months up here in Toronto. Our RC club rents a school gym on Tuesday nights, and there are not many small, slow planes on the market anymore. But these! THESE! This are brilliant! Love the BoP, that would be my choice.
Pretty cool guys! Just one thing, on the Enterprise you made, the "wing" (saucer) part is flat, with dihedral tips, making the wing actually polyhedral. Dihedral is where the whole wing has the same upward angle, from root to tip.
I have to admit, that is way better than going huge with everything. Srsly, anyone can have a take on these, and this ep felt more like old FT style I loved. Dont get me wrong, I love big birds but thats impossible for plenty of us. Greets!
Enjoy while ya can because that will soon be a thing of the past. No one is going to contact the FAA, people prefer someone else to do it. In the end, the opposition to the FAA will be almost none.
The "Easy Pack" has bee used in 3 channel planes such as the Boeing 787 RC RTF wich is an AMAZING plane for beginners. I am glad it is now seperate for kits/pnp
Eek eek Chuck gliders!!!! Had this nightmare of the hobby collapsing into chuck gliders. Stefan running as fast as he could with one of those beautiful P38's reduced to a chuck glider and calling out " That's gonna be at least 40 yards ". Terrible nightmare. 🙃
okay, I had an idea, the ready-made runway was just a grass strip and a small hill. so make that area into a little aircraft-carrier for your runway. you will stand in the command tower and control your plane from there. some aircraft carriers have ramps at the end of the runway so have that at the beginning of the hill. just thought that it would be cool.
Lift produced by a wing is dependent on airflow across the wing and is independent of it's orientation relative to gravity. Dihedral works because it moves the center of lift above the center of mass causing the system to be self correcting. It's analogous to trying to balance a pencil on your fingertip versus hanging it.
LOOOL I already had to laugh out loud when Josh hi the birdhouse but when Alex also took him out that's when the snot came out (you know, from laughing so hard)... ;D
I am not an active RC aviation hobbyist but these guys prove in every video that an unimpeded hobby advances the interest and learning of STEM related subjects. That is why I watch and that is why I sent my comment to FAA. Consider doing the same.
Because you made TWO awesome Star Trek models, I will forgive you for saying "Star TRACK". Not a thing.... New favorite channel, and Ohio Proud. Great work guys!
As a side note. Referring to the new law being proposed. It sounds like a classic case of a law that will effect sensible, safe and responsible hobbyist, whilst those who would cause a problem would ignore the law anyway. We have had similar problems with ill thought out laws here in the UK. Such as the restrictions of the sale of swords and other blades, Make it difficult for people like me who collect them due to my love of historic weapons, while those who wish to use knives to do harm can still go to their local Asda and buy a cheap kitchen knife with little trouble. I hope you win your fight!
This is amazing! Like many, I'm so excited about the possibility of getting the EZ Power Pack, it'll make starting out in the hobby with my 5-year old daughter a possibility!!!
