Congratulations Flight Test! Great way to show how starting by building and designing RC planes can lead to so much more! It is not just a toy, but a learning tool that can lead to some great careers. Keep up the amazing work!

@spacebutter2062 7 лет назад

So many good builders tried but FliteTest just simply nailed it.

@taofledermaus 7 лет назад

Very impressive!! You all worked as a team and it paid off. Hope you give it another go next year!

🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

KILLED IT! CONGRATS!

@Bugkiller666 7 лет назад

OMG I learned a lot from this video, THANKS. I did not know how simple it is. Again thanks

@supertyfon1736 7 лет назад

brilliant flying.

@christopherdounis6729 7 лет назад

Simply brilliant.....

@alexludens1797 7 лет назад

I left this channel about a year ago, I decided to take a look at how its been, well let's just say these guys should earn another 1 million subscribers!!!!

@Lanzbik 7 лет назад

I still want a speed build kit of this, I also want David Winstall to mount rockets on it

@Greynerd 7 лет назад

I've been toying with using honeycomb cardboard in place of foam for larger scale aircraft as it is about the same weight as foam, or marginally lighter, but it is way more rigid. Slicing it span wise and also build in the aerofoil shape so the wing skin becomes a rigid surface

@flyhigh1768 7 лет назад

this is awesome guys!!!

@rotorz 7 лет назад

You guys are awesome! Well done. Full size rc build now please!

@briankang7019 7 лет назад

Congrats on 500k!

@masterflight 7 лет назад

Awesome per usual!

@keylitho 7 лет назад

OK now this need's to be made RC..

@jdbugman 7 лет назад

Make it Rc. Or just put a motor on it and fly it

@welshdave5263 7 лет назад

yeah, I really want to see this flown RC, twin engine should do it nicely.

@FliteTest 7 лет назад

Unfortunately we would have to MAKE another one! ;) Mainly because they crushed the other one at Flug Tag! ha S.O.

@keylitho 7 лет назад

Sweet... Soooooo we should see a video in... what... about 2 months..?? :) :)

@rosonowski 7 лет назад

Is that part of the contest? I mean, I know most of them are destroyed by the crash, but yours seemed to land relatively unharmed...

@derMusicSlasher 7 лет назад

Hihi.... Totally awesome how Josh tries to pronounce Flugtag. I really love the insight-videos! Keep it up!!

@goriverman 7 лет назад

You guys are amazing

@jacobguffey8841 7 лет назад

can you guys please build some sort of glider attachment for a bike

@Hoverbot1TV 7 лет назад

Looks like a very advanced Ugly stick. Unreal team work.

@andrewsrc7717 7 лет назад

Hahahaha good one!!😜

@larz0001 7 лет назад

you guys should put a tiled plan of the rib section on your site for download, that would be awesome

@ailtonbr6418 4 года назад

Nice job!!! Congratulation...

@ecoriderLNT 7 лет назад

You guys are awesome for sharing your methodologies to everyone, including next year's competition. Are multi-wings allowed? I think you could achieve much more effective wing area in a smaller span with a bi or tri-plane. You probably can reduce weight using and school tension wires instead of a cantilevered wing. cables are draggy, but that won't hurt you much at the low speeds. Of course you guys used building techniques that you use daily. it is amazing how quickly you put it all together. Victory at Flugtag after hosting a world record achieving Flite Fest. You guys are amazing. Keep it coming!

@glend.spicer8204 7 лет назад

Awesome video. Congrats again on winning.

@magna59 7 лет назад

Very impressive ............. great work .

@mikep95133 7 лет назад

Because the wing is always in stall on that plane, I'd make the horizontal stab full flying. It will grab more air just before he hits the water and get some more distance. Some version of Horner tips on the wings will help too. Great job !!!

@hammerdown6998 7 лет назад

Ya'll failed to mention you WON!!!! Nice job. I hadda go watch the whole thing.

@AugustusTitus 7 лет назад

@Hannyrose0415 7 лет назад

That is amazing !!! I would love it if you put all the measures for it It's awesome

@planecrazyish 3 года назад

Excellent !

@tossedsaladandscrambledegg8576 7 лет назад

Amazing!

@Zeisslermusic 7 лет назад

so cool, love your video

@ziggyboogydude1 7 лет назад

i was there! i had no idea that that plane was yours, but I knew it was going to go well!

@Axterrix 7 лет назад

Awesome!

@TheDejakal 7 лет назад

Great distance, good airfoil. But, I NEED to know if this glider wings will actually fly further than your Flugtag flight.

@NileSuperRiver 7 лет назад

You guys should have used clear mono-coat, its lighter than the dyed stuff.

@marouenebelkhir8556 2 года назад

What's the mono coat ?

@air-headedaviator1805 7 лет назад

Even though, for me, it takes a long time just to build aFt style planes, i can't help but want to build balsa/ rib and srick stick style planes one day. All the structures and shapes are just so..., nostalgic.

@maribomba2290 7 лет назад

wauw so coool thanks for sharing

@dichromatic6003 5 лет назад

You guys are awesome keep the videos coming BROTHER...👉👉👉👉

@muskokamike127 7 лет назад

Just read in the comments that you won both overall and people's choice...that's awesome! Just imagine how far you could have gone with more velocity at take off?

@flyingfiddler90q 7 лет назад

Cool! The jump from R/C to hang gliders/ultralight sailplanes isn't that huge is it?

@BrightBlueJim 6 лет назад

How much did the wing weigh? The whole plane? That wing worked very well - very stiff, no sign of bending or twisting. Scaling things up can be the biggest challenge, but I think you guys nailed it.

@agrxdrowflow958 7 лет назад

Hey, an old guy! (Background Bob) Yay!

@johnnyllooddte3415 7 лет назад

hay im an oldddd guy too

@MrWest1960ONeill 7 лет назад

Same here and love it.

@agrxdrowflow958 7 лет назад

I thought Flight Test was a bunch of young-ins. I had no idea an old guy was behind the scenes. It's good to see someone with gray hair.

@guitarist0210 7 лет назад

hey I'm 28 n have sum Grays, alot, lol, but remember the old guys were in it first and are always behind the scenes, it's kinda like our wives, behind the scenes but u no for a darn fact they wear the pants lol, same with the RC, but usually not a female lol always got that elder giving direction

@johnnyllooddte3415 7 лет назад

hahaha im old enough to be youre daddies greatgrandfather ahahah

@n108bg 6 лет назад

So is the spar on this solid wood or plywood paneling with a foam core?

@dustin6146 7 лет назад

Super cool

@allanharville8948 7 лет назад

If you decide to try this again, run a sheet of your covering from the tip of the wing to the front of the tail. As long as your pilot can keep his feet out of the water, he can use ground effects to stay aloft longer.

@fahb68 7 лет назад

I bet this will be awesome if you put a motor n it.... Great work guys

@Justinosolo 6 лет назад

Great job and video. If you save weight it would have flown a lot further. The box spar could have been hollowed out towards the wing ends, saving a bunch of weight, increasing the launch speed.

@janivo5218 7 лет назад

Can you make a video about how to design and build a wing because we need that for a project in school you guys did amazing

@WickdPerfekT 7 лет назад

he mentioned the software he used in the video.

@denemesurumu7001 7 лет назад

WickdPerfekT do you know software name. I need that software. I hope you can help me :)

@WickdPerfekT 7 лет назад

he says at 2:35 it's called DevWing.

@WatchmakerErik 7 лет назад

I can always trust +FliteTest to do flugtag properly!

@Mr_Fancypants 7 лет назад

gonna copy it, build a motor on it. Then laugh as i fly away and watch all lozers walk

@naegleriafowleri3959 7 лет назад

Better hope that bolt holds you

@Mr_Fancypants 7 лет назад

Naegleria Fowleri im skinny so i wont be much weight

@naegleriafowleri3959 7 лет назад

If you really do it you should get a polini Thor engine. I recommend a 250cc or 200 evo is pry the best

@MCRedstoneXalbiX 7 лет назад

turnigy rotomax 150cc and your good to go

@Mr_Fancypants 7 лет назад

OpfeKuacha how much power would a scooter engine perform. Scooters keep getting faster and the engine is relative small

@jesper8760 7 лет назад

can you do a review of the new champ s+ ?

@WyllSurfAir 7 лет назад

So I really hope you guys are going to rebuild that thing and fly it again. Maybe this time off a higher cliff so you can actually fly it around a bit.

@Video-tipsTv 6 лет назад

NICE! Where can I get the wing profile diagram?

@ryanbeall56 7 лет назад

Lots I blood and sweet went into it I can tell. Great work on designing it! Maybe next year you'll do better if u do it! Again great job! Just keep doing what your doing it's a great channel for rc lovers!

@ryanbeall56 7 лет назад

Lots of* my bad lol

@Clickmaster5k 7 лет назад

Sweet!, now make it RC. Im sure Peter will have some good ideas about how to do that.

@lightningmcqueen8127 7 лет назад

I really want to build one of these! Any suggestions? Especially how to make the spar template as I do not have a laser cutter.

@zoogoo404 7 лет назад

Ruler & protractor.

@dannyhelms2779 7 лет назад

Way to show those guys how it's done!

@williamhamer3034 6 лет назад

Could you make this powered? And would it be Part 103 compliant?

@yelectric1893 7 лет назад

Is there software where I input the requirements for a wing in what it would do in my plane, and the software would give me good dimensions and a shape?

@Ryzomadman 7 лет назад

flugtag in german literally means flight day if my school boy german is right.

@Mr_Fancypants 7 лет назад

it is

@FliteTest 7 лет назад

Correct :)

@JoshsRC 7 лет назад

yes it does ;D

@LemberTheMember 7 лет назад

ja das stimmt

@lifeisgood12341 7 лет назад

yup

@JoseA-Divergent 6 лет назад

Es una pena, pues ese diseño podria volar en ladera o termica sin ningun problema... Good video.

@planeaddicted 7 лет назад

It would be nice to hear from Chad what it was like to fly it. Also, what did you learn from the flight. 100% success? Could it have flown further if your did X Y or Z. Thanks,

@ulaB 7 лет назад

I wonder if Rotor Riot will put up an episode on this too?

@evilbetty9204 7 лет назад

How many aircraft engineers do you have working there? Simply amazing. Geekin out ova heeyuh.

@certifiednoob8809 7 лет назад

Dear FliteTest, Over the past few months I have saved enough money to build one of these, and I am having a little trouble finding out how to make the wing template you used to cut out the foam. Everything else I have with me, but I cannot start the project without a template. if you could tell me where to find the dimensions of the template that would be great. I already tried DevWing but it does not work for macs sadly Thanks!

@EfeWire 7 лет назад

hey flite test can you explain in a video how the wings must twist for the plane to turn

@AugustusTitus 7 лет назад

+FliteTest: What is the rear boom made out of? Fiberglass or carbon fiber?

@tsieglieh 6 лет назад

Where do you find 1/2 inch thick foam??? Thank you, Matthew

@dandel351 7 лет назад

Could you have used a delta wing or a bi-plane set up ?

@larz0001 7 лет назад

how many rolls of covering did you use for the whole craft?

@johnnyllooddte3415 7 лет назад

devwing???? yeaaaa finally my 1000 inquiries answered thankssssssss

@DAS-Videos 7 лет назад

I think you can make one that will fly even further! Will you be in the contest again?

@warham4155 7 лет назад

are you going to turn it into an rc after the flutag?

@certifiednoob8809 7 лет назад

Im still going to make one of these. What is the plastic sheet you wrapped around the wings? You said it was monocoat but monocoat is a liquid that protects the floors. Thanks!

@ulaB 7 лет назад

MonoKote.

@welshpete12 7 лет назад

Can you please explain why you chose that aerofoil . And could it not be possible to get more speed on take off ?

@flyingfiddler90q 7 лет назад

Curious how much the thing weighed fully assembled?

@shadowfox7169 7 лет назад

hey guys i was just wondering if you could try your hand at the 1990's model breechcraft starship

@Skydive4ever 7 лет назад

Just curious, what did you do with the plane after the event was done?

@frogsshadow4189 7 лет назад

Flugtag rules state that all the aircraft are destroyed.

@plugs313 7 лет назад

In god's name... WHY?, I guess so you can't use it (or parts of it) in next year's "Flugtag"?

@frogsshadow4189 7 лет назад

maybe but i also think its so that people dont spend a lot of money on them, why would you if it just gets destroyed

@vedran.kapetanic 7 лет назад

Here's what I want you to do: Hire a parachuter. Drop him from an air baloon sitting in this thing. He glides for a bit and then bails and parachutes safely to the ground. That would be awesome.

@GavinRemme 7 лет назад

Sick a little Honda engine on it and cruise around.

@jg-bordfronco2925 7 лет назад

sooo cool

@icin4d 7 лет назад

Some of us are waiting for FT to do something Giant Scale. Not sure if this qualifies. ;) You were starting to generate some good lift there. :)

@spacebutter2062 7 лет назад

Make an forward swept wing plane that uses the XP-55 Configure c;

@peterrutherford9530 6 лет назад

What NACA aerofoil are you using?

@VincentCate 7 лет назад

What is the name of the software they used to design the wing?

@MrScooter46290 7 лет назад

Well done Flite Test and Rotor Riot "FLITE-RIOT" for 1st place RED BULL FLUGTAG BOSTON AUGUST 20TH, 2016

@so-flamotorsports7491 6 лет назад

lol trial by fire for the new guy , looks like he did great tho. love this project guys you should do another with a motor and make a giant rc

@so-flamotorsports7491 6 лет назад

oops didn't realize this was a year ago , new sub lol

@brandonkreider8951 7 лет назад

Are you guys going to do a video on the new 210 quadcopter frame?

@ulaB 7 лет назад

I have not seen a Flite Test product without review and build video. So the chances are pretty high :).

@badmofo350 7 лет назад

Is this going to be a swappable?

@kerryadams6812 5 лет назад

would like to see you rc that thing

@deezynar 7 лет назад

I don't know if the rules allow it but I'd put the pilot laying on top of the wing and have nothing extending below the wing to hit the water. The pilot hit the water before the wing was able to use ground effect, getting everything up out of the way would help.

@MrWest1960ONeill 7 лет назад

To increase airspeed at launch...would a catapult system be allowed and used to assist the pushers? use the same carriage and add a medium throw (length) catapult system extending out the back of the carriage fixing on the tail boom like a scuba speargun. Stored energy.

@ulaB 7 лет назад

You are only allowed to use human power.
