This was the first video I have watch with Peter doing the build. Peter I give you 4.5 stars for your video performance and a 5 stars for the build. I think my 10 year old grandson could follow you without a hitch and me with only one or two. Very good video and build, I just might make this my first scratch foam build with my grandson to assist me. I am hooked and have enjoyed flying with my sons and grandsons, now to get my dad into the hobby.

@willyam9735 9 лет назад

+Michael Hampton You came the closest to my exact assessment of Peter's 1st build video! Bravo Peter! Like others have said, I also am glad that you are a part of the FT team! You are very talented! Michael, I also got hooked on RC because of a grandson and build/fly is a really great venue for happy times with my grandchildren.

@jimmbbo 9 лет назад

Excellent dessign and construction article... Foam board and hot glue... Definitely the "next gen" of building flying models!!

@Gantorin 9 лет назад

Peter, you are awesome. I am so glad they added you to the Flitetest team. I find your designs fun and inventive. I also enjoy your puns.

@chadkapper492 9 лет назад

Love the interactive table of contents!!! Great job on the instructions Peter!

@Slider2732 9 лет назад

+Chad Kapper Didn't know it was interactive til your comment. Then went back in the video and kept clicking different boxes LOL

+Chad Kapper OMG! He's alive! Good to "see" you, Chad. And I love the elevator music on the table of contents......cracks me up every time.

@ulaB 9 лет назад

+Chad Kapper You need to watch more build videos instead of buying Phantoms and teasing Mike ;). They've been doing that for a while now :).

@joeyriegler 9 лет назад

Dear flight Test, Your team Rocks! Thank you for all the time and effort You have been putting in!

@ice12d 9 лет назад

Im always needing better and larger tires for my planes since I take off typically from a grass field. The tire plans in this kit are AMAZING for grass fields. I use these designs now on all my scratch builds even on my Kraken!

@fierceflyer5 9 лет назад

Peter, when you hooked up the rudder & elevator you put the wire through the outermost hole in the surfaces for more throw. That's a mistake. The innermost hole on the surface & outermost on the servo gives the most throw. Opposite for less throw.

@jackdub7740 3 года назад

39:21 so wholesome! looking here for tips and tricks. cutting out a pattern to transfer to foam now

@poi397 8 лет назад

Put my first flight on a scratch built Bushwacker,what a blast to fly,it's everything I hoped it would be in the air. Thanks for sharing your design.

@kaydostandssideways8946 Год назад

Mine crashed and I have no clue how to fly

@wiltonsmith3397 3 года назад

Thanks for a great airplane! I always heard that tool called a “30 - 60 - 90 degree triangle”... Or maybe just a “thinga-ma-jiggy”... ... but not a Carpenter’s Square.

@farsproductions3749 9 лет назад

Your builds remind me or my first airplane. It was an aircore 40 "family trainer". It featured "fold and fly" technology. Its been crashed many times. It still exists today. My dad and i built it in the mid 90's

@lilgreencanoe2936 7 лет назад

Those little uprights on the stabilizer are called vortex generators. They help to increase the efficiency of the control surface and also reduce flutter at hi speed.

@Tater79bj 9 лет назад

So much win happening here! Thanks Peter!

@bwonline5725 9 лет назад

Fabulous job Peter and FliteTest crew! Love this plane and plan to build one of my own soon. Thanks for your continued support of the hobby and providing fantastic content.

9 лет назад

Well done Peter. Learned a few tricks.

@penpilot1 9 лет назад

I enjoyed the video, thanks. FYI, that's a 30/60 triangle commonly used in drafting or drawing - a carpenter's square is rather large and made of aluminum or steel.

@pursueadventure 9 лет назад

Awesome job Peter. Looking forward to building and flying one of these bad boys.

@ohioplanespotting1300 9 лет назад

I ordered some extras for this bad boy and they will be here tomorrow! Can't wait to get to work! :) I would start tonight, but I have an AP European history test in the morning :/

@rohithshaker8937 9 лет назад

nice job peter im watching this even though im not building the bushwacker you did an amazing job

@CarminesRCTipsandTricks 5 лет назад

Guys, you NEED to change your Links on these older Videos!! They still go to the old Store, with no redirect.

@weezalicious 4 года назад

They really left all the old fans in the dust.

@brightest07 9 лет назад

very cool, its crazy that this is all with foam.

@WatchmakerErik 9 лет назад

Peter, Thanks for the wonderful build video! two things though: Your Channellocks are actually slip joint pliers. And "ChannelLock" is a trade mark.

@jmnengineering8376 2 года назад

In regards to the landing gear wire dimension shown in the video (19:85), the 11" dimension includes the 3.25" on the left. The drawing implies the total length to be 14.25" which is incorrect.

@JamesManimal 4 года назад

I put that exact same motor on it with a sporty 10x5 and it flew like a dream

@SharphandXeno 9 лет назад

I just maidened mine today lol it flies great! Also Its my first Flitetest plane.

@brandonb417 9 лет назад

If I remember correctly, you get the most throw with the wire closest to the hinge. You get more torque/leverage the further you are from the hinge. Thus, the ever-present mechanical trade off, more motion and less torque, or less motion and more torque.

@TimmSchn 9 лет назад

This is a nice build! one small correction, because it often gets confused and confusing this may lead to problems. Female and male plugs are not named after the housings but after the pins. Meaning the lead from the servo is the female plug, the pins are the "holes". The plug on the Y-Lead is the male plug, even though the plug housing suggests otherwise. The housing protects the male pins. Mixing this up will lead to problems when buying plug casings or crimp contacts, so best to try and be correct on this. Other than that, great work, awesome builds and great videos. I'm always eager to watch your videos!

@wdave6944 8 лет назад

I've done a hell of a lot of electronics- building etal. And also found it odd that in the RC world the universally accepted 3-pin *socket* is referred to a male connector but hey... that's what they do... it's the RC world ;-)

@CarminesRCTipsandTricks 5 лет назад

Does not look like a wicked 3D Plane..... But it actually IS!!

@nickademuss42 9 лет назад

might have to try this one :) I was considering a multiplex fun cub, but for the money, this one will fit the bill better

@shivamshsr-345 4 года назад

That's cool Peter now I remember the old days when you worked in ft I wish you do a project with ft looking for it.just built the guinea pig .

@michaelwilliamsd.o.5006 6 лет назад

Took more than a couple hours to do But cool plane. My first build like this......non balsa wood. Good Job... great video. Hope to fly it soon...

@ThinkFreely2012 8 лет назад

52:00 the inner most horn hole gives the most throw. not the outer most hole. the outer most hole will give the most force though..

@firebird8600 9 лет назад

Does Chad know that you used the blue handled cutters on pushrods?

@techdiyer5290 5 лет назад

can you please show where you put the battery because im having issues with attaching it to the bottom of my powerpod.

@Michael-dp9kf 9 лет назад

Ima get glue all up in here lol

@andyrichey1192 6 лет назад

That is awesome , I watched the whole build, I enjoyed it a lot I'll be watching for more

@trongnghianguyen1605 9 лет назад

nice . I think you should design a pylon racer and have a race with each others

@fredrikpettersson1199 9 лет назад

Hi flitetest 😄I wonder if u could make a PBY catalina that can land on water. That had been awesome

@camla69 9 лет назад

Love the plane Peter, can't wait to try it. One thing, being a New Zealander, well a Brit by birth and an old one at that, we talk the same language, but different! So can you talk a little bit slower, please.

@tobiastonarely8141 9 лет назад

can you do more multi rotor videos i find the building proses quite hard, also I think it would be awesome if the entire flight test team did a race with them.

@lancelatta7456 5 лет назад

I just got done building this fantastic kit. I decided to go the with the flaperons. I really don't like it right now and just land without using them. What settings do you recommend? Maybe I have to much or not enough angle. Thanks again for a great model.

@BOKI797 9 лет назад

Peter You did & Extremely Nice build Job Video ! Thanks of the Video ! Dave B. Illinois

@benpotter4783 9 лет назад

Flite test you guys should come up with a Yak 52 SBK it would be sick

@mramazing643 8 лет назад

it's a great plane, well done on making/ designing it and all the other planes by flite test, I really like how you are the only place I know of that sell foam rc plane kits, could you be able to ship the plane to Europe for less than £7?

@lilgreencanoe2936 7 лет назад

I can't wait! I'm gonna buy one really soon! Can you please tell me if this will fly with an .049 and 2 channel setup (elv. and rudder?) I plan to use a Futaba AM setup. ...I'm kinda old school when it comes to model planes. I can't believe the fancy stuff thats out these days!!!

@robsycko 9 лет назад

the inside hole gives more throw. out side at the servo inside at the control horn gives max throw

@fishalcoholic 3 года назад

Starting mine this week. I'll be using fat Du-Bro tires in lieu of the foam board ones shown.

@NackDSP 8 месяцев назад

Several years ago two buddies and I built three of these. They were almost the worst handling planes we've ever flown. We each tried to put a good face on it, but it came up the other day and the verdict was unanimous, this plane is crap. I'm not sure why, as they look like a typical plane. We tried different CG locations and what not, but they were just impossible to trim and seemed to react poorly to varying throttle. Fun to build, it looks great, and flies like crap. The bloody Barron is a good flyer. Several of the others, not so much.

@dutchloveRC 2 года назад

just starting mine now

@RhaegarDefense 2 года назад

hows it going?? just started mine, this is quite a bit of work, i thought it would take me 2 hours at max but now it's more like 2 days.

@dutchloveRC 2 года назад

@@RhaegarDefense got most of it built no electronics in it yet, didnt care for the landing gear not sure what Im going to do

@ttmcookies 9 лет назад

Is there a reason why you didn't have to put hot glue between the two wing halves??

@thenatedog 9 лет назад

+Oan Nam was just thinking the same thing

@Shawn95GT 9 лет назад

+Oan Nam I noticed this too. Since it builds like the Storch wing I'm thinking he did glue it but it got cut in the edit. I'll glue it when I build mine!

@CarminesRCTipsandTricks 5 лет назад

INCONCEIVABLE that Tape is the ONLY thing keeping the Wing halves together!!! 😫😵😱😱

@GuoWeiTan 9 лет назад

@nabes68 5 лет назад

Can I cover the plane in packing tape to make it last longer? Mostly the wing and tail section.

@elliotw5918 4 года назад

I'm sure you can. It will make it heavier, but more durable. I would do it

@RCLimit 8 лет назад

One thing I noticed in video is it is never mentioned exactly the best placement for a 3s lipo. Inside the nose area? Bottom of powerpod? Any suggestions for best fit?

@thejoshmoss 8 лет назад

+RCLimit Films From what i guessed i put my 2200 3s strapped to the bottom of the power pod closer to the front depending on CG.

@RCLimit 8 лет назад

Thank you. I took some small foam, and glued like railing inside nose area and places velcro between it and place battery as far in the nose as I can. Do appreciate the reply though.

@scoodles93 9 лет назад

where is COG on this plane........ and where does the battery go

@alexgfpv9075 9 лет назад

I want to know this too. .. I have no plan how to put the battery into the fuselage without it's moving?!

@scoodles93 9 лет назад

+Alex Rüb so i now have a tiny powerpod i cut the back half off at about 50% and so i can barely shove the battery into the powerpod

@DareCdn 9 лет назад

+Alex Rüb I just pushed the battery (2200mAh) into the belly of the fuselage as far forward as possible. Take some stick on Velcro(rough side) about 8 inches long & stick about 1-1.5inches onto the bottom of the power pod in front of the belly cutout then put some tape onto the rest of the sticky side of the Velcro. Place a piece of Velcro(opposite of the 8inch strip, in my case the fuzzy side) 1" long on the bottom of fuselage(exterior of plane) I then glued some balsa rails(2 of them spreading them out so the battery can slide in between them) to the interior belly of the plane where the battery would lay in. You then push the battery in place and pull the 8 inch Velcro(can cut it to size later) over the end of the battery and onto the fuzzy Velcro on the exterior of the plane. Your battery wont go anywhere now. Would be a lot easier to explain with pictures but not sure how to upload them.

@ThePurplePupUwU 6 лет назад

wouldn't be a Flite Test build video without Josh B.

@kennethwang7045 7 лет назад

You should add ridiculously large wheels to emphasize on the bush plane part of it.

@fergusonhr 9 лет назад

Its called a 30 60 triangle...a carpenters square has marks on it for doing roofs

@rccrashburn 8 лет назад

Should we glue in the rear power pod & the skewer that is supposed to hold the right down thrust alignment? (gluing was not shown) Also, the motor mount is only hot glued to foam? Doesn't seem strong enough.

@dbassing2897 8 лет назад

Hey I'm going to buying this plane and was wondering if I should just fly with the flaps or turn it into flaperons

@jackcarpenter5243 7 лет назад

Your made your build look to easy. If I buy a kit hope I can do it.

@iampapahomer3865 7 лет назад

Jack Carpenter I just built one of these yesterday. watch the video, pause and rewind if you have to. it is much easier than it looks. get the speed build kit

@jerryk.8549 9 лет назад

@notaberger_3216 9 лет назад

can you make a plane (including electronics) for as cheap as possible?

@GarysOutdoors 8 лет назад

Need more info on the flap servos. How do you get the servos to start out and stay at an extent? Seems when I power on a plane the servos want to center themselves. Maybe flap servos don’t do that? Thx

@jakubkono7614 8 лет назад

I think, you should set properly servos in your radio ( to switch 3 stage )

@pioneez 9 лет назад

@therealdeadpen 9 лет назад

So are there any solar rc planes? I've searched but only find do it yourself blogs and such.

@JombieMann 4 месяца назад

Is there a set of instructions that I can print out? I don't have a computer in my shop to watch this video as I am building so a printed out set of instructions would be great. I purchased a partially built kit from someone and they didn't include any instructions.

@82toyotalandcruiser 5 лет назад

I was just wondering why you say putting the power pod with a thrust angle to one side makes the plane fly straighter? Is that something that is done on real planes?

@mister-nonchalant8249 8 лет назад

Do you think the electronics (battery, motor, and servos) kit here would be able to fly a 105 gram balsa wood Cessna?

@susanrc73 9 лет назад

This looks like a winner!

@idiotsplaygames7151 7 лет назад

very detailed description. Are you guys going to make a mighty mini version of this?🙄

@bencouch3964 7 лет назад

Liam Geyser I'm actually almost done Building a mini version of the bushwhacker! I am scratch building it though! What I did was printed the plans out at 40% size. Keep in mind that when you shrink down the plans it also shrinks down the thickness of the foamboard on the plans, so what you will need to do is just cut out the slots thicker , four instance where the tailfeathers slide into. I haven't ran into any serious trouble yet, good luck.

@techdiyer5290 5 лет назад

could i just put it in the front "shelf" under the powerpod and counterweight it on tail? my motor is 2200KV and i have a 30amp esc. please help.

@coyotealley8632 8 лет назад

those foam thingies on the landing gear are called wheel pants

@rva1945 5 лет назад

What about building the wings with more camber, I mean, with shorter flat bottoms?

@millerrc5829 7 лет назад

32:24 don't you pump that section full of hot glue? like your other builds?

@andreszamoraalvarez2182 5 лет назад

Hi, I saw your video and I wanted to build this plane. But I printed the plans (tiled) in A4 papers and I think it is bigger than It is in real, so the tiled plans are designed to be printed in A4?

@inteous 8 лет назад

Those little bits on the vertical stabilizer look like vortex generators

@flyingferret-Airsoft 7 лет назад

Vortex generators are generally angled to the angle of attack, these are more like wing fences.

@AscottSauce 9 лет назад

Hi flitetest!

@Daniel_Callie 7 лет назад

I'm confused.. what's the difference between speed build kit and (non-speed build?) and the scratch build - is that just the raw material of foam board without laser cutting? Somehow missing detail. Thanks

@tannerconstantine2733 6 лет назад

Callie_Dan The speed build kit comes with the airframe when' the scratch build is cutting the sheets out yourself

@mohammadsaad5987 9 лет назад

i really love your work guys and i love to have plane to fly and i have made some but i cannot do good plane because im in iraq and i donot have the tools and even i cannot buy online because we donot have online card or any thing so when i want to see some thing fly or if i want to have the flying filing i came and whatch your videos .... i just want to cry because i donot have any plane or drone to have fun with it ....and thanks for giving me the flying filing which iam forbade form ....

@yuvrajkharde947 7 лет назад

Bro what is the material you used to design the aircraft. and where can we get it

Yuvraj Kharde im currently scratch building this and I used the Adams redi board you can get it at your local Dollar general however the stuff from DG tends to be warped pretty badly I like getting the foam from Dollar tree.

@yourundoing12 9 лет назад

wonder could you use a potato peeler for the beveling.. perhaps be a bit easier to handle for younger folks

@wdave6944 8 лет назад

Wow. I'd never thought of that... even for a moment. That's good 'outside-the-box' thinking! Seriously. But alas, I really don't think that the peeler would be sharp enough... and if it were, it'd soon go too dull to use. But don't let my comment (or others') disuade you. Give it a try and see. And keep up the ideas!
