Today Alex takes the RocHobby Waco YMF-5 out to do some flying with his buddies Matt and Ian. This little biplane is a great plane for many reasons and after an unexpected collision, we find out if durability is one of those reasons.

Any "Landing" where it can be glued back together is a "Good Landing" Specially for the Flitetest guys! Hot Glue for the win!

For re-expanding crushed epo foam i use a cloth and a bowl of boiling water. Dip the cloth in the water and press it onto the crushed epo. After a few applications it nearly expands back to its original shape. Dry it off and glue it together. Almost as good as new! I have laminated foam wings too and it is very strong afterwards.

Frequent Flyer this is one of the best comments that could’ve come to me bc I literally just scrunched some up in a little crash earlier today

Nice episode - is the battery bay capable of holding a larger pack, you mentioned using a 3s 1800?

@fimbulwinter-outdoor 6 лет назад

I would really love to see you building some balsa-planes. Maybe making a challenge out of it: 2 Teams building the slowest balsa plane possible and the team with the slowest plane that is able to fly, wins. =D Missing the slow balsawood planes here.

This needs to be the next FT foam board build a long with the Stearman!

My RocHobby WACO has rigging and different cabanes and strutts. Also has LED on the wing tips. It's lovely to fly and totally aerobatic. Rolls happen PDQ and loops are not a problem. Same battery option 2200mAh 25 C 3S. I do find the wheel pants make grass runway take-offs "interesting".

@shelbyseelbach9568 6 лет назад

Joanne Lowery yes, they are actually flying a dynam Waco in this video.

@theflyingmonster6524 6 лет назад

@YourAverageJoe1000 6 лет назад

Awesome video! As far as EPO plane repair goes, my favorite trick has to be the boiling water trick to deal with crushed EPO.

@olliea6052 6 лет назад

Great job guys! Would i be alone in wanting more coverage of the repair process? I'm ok fixing stuff but if i were starting out i'd need so much information. Right Thrust angle on the motor for example. A crushed nose repair will highlight the need for this. I realise theres only so much time in a video though.

@anonimkisi7804 6 лет назад

Hello there, can you please tell what are you using as chasing drone? Further more it would be great if you can create a build video for that drone, thanks

@locouk 6 лет назад

Note to self, when flying with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle dumb, make sure they’ve got heavy wallets.

@Timsfpvshow 6 лет назад

Great video guys. I love to watch y'all fly planes kinda like the old days

@GaragebandandBeyond 6 лет назад

My grandfather was a Waco salesman and flew one when they mapped Iran for the very first time. That plane was called the the Iranian Express, you can google it!

@MarkBaldridge 6 лет назад

Alex, you're a great host! Like your vibe.

@ram25O0 6 лет назад

do an episode on laminating EPO planes! The "right stuff" laminate is what I use and it works wonders on EPO foam!

I see a an IX 12 radio being used. Are you guys going to review that one?

@randomnonsense_1 6 лет назад

I really enjoy watching the Flite Test videos and reviews, but I'm astonished by the lack of plane safety I see in them all the time. Nearly running into the camera guy would get you a sudden talking to at any of the flying fields that I've been to.

@tomvolker5688 6 лет назад

Cool video

@snaprollinpitts 5 лет назад

Hobbico makes a very good balsa filler which is a light brown, but they also make a white filler that would be perfect for this occasion. mike

When will the next FliteTest foam board plane come out?

@joshuamelvin 6 лет назад

@jgplanes5183 6 лет назад

Josh Bixler Yes! I’m so looking forward to the new FT Simple Cozy Coupe!

@craigbaumgarten3691 6 лет назад

Ok I've got an idea for a new episode! I want to see a plane with dual motors both clockwise, and simulate left engine failure to simulate (Vmc) like you could see in real aircraft.

Well thats what happens when you fly with 2 guys called Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum😉

It depends on your setup, but prob around 6 minutes

We occasionaly crash so every landing can be very exciting :)

@properlytwisted2172 6 лет назад

NICE Waco!...and the lesson here is,DON'T fly with your buddies..LOL!

@scalerc2842 6 лет назад

thats a dynamic Waco

@scalerc2842 6 лет назад

I know ato correct did it

@shelbyseelbach9568 6 лет назад

balint banko i figured, was a little funny.

@scalerc2842 6 лет назад

lol when I saw its was like oh s*%$#

@shelbyseelbach9568 6 лет назад

balint banko i always try to proof read everything before i post, and auto correct still sneaks something through from time to time. Lol.

@arand4 6 лет назад

You should weather the plane, that way it would look way cooler and it would hide the sorta wrong color

@ragedgamer175 6 лет назад

So... Estimated battery life?

@christianharriot1578 6 лет назад

bored gamer, I use a 2650 - 4cell and 6 minutes bring them down to 3.8 volts..

@khertler 6 лет назад

Wah-co or Way-co?

@keegansponholz9260 6 лет назад

Kyle Hertler Wah-co. Waco is an abreviation for weaver aircraft company, its not pronounced the same as the town.

@friarrodneyburnap4336 6 лет назад

Build and fly some Rockets please...

WAY CO Alex.... WAY CO

@MrCubcrazy 6 лет назад

Its definitely NOT pronounced Way-Co. It is in fact Wah-Co

@segwaydave 6 лет назад

I live in Texas. Way-Co. well, at least in the south ;)

@garrykennedy5484 6 лет назад

David.. You're thinking Waco, TX. Not the same. It's is definitely Wah co.

@marktracy586 6 лет назад

It's Wah-co. Not named after the Texas town, but initials for Witchita Aircraft COmpany

@douglashawkins9918 6 лет назад

Yes yes... The comment was not meant as a troll but more of a shout out to Alex with whom I met at FF Florida last year. I apologize to Alex...and shouts out Brother, Come back and Para-glide again!!!!

@foxprogt 6 лет назад

Thats actually a Dynam Waco. XP

@keegansponholz9260 5 лет назад

It's not the same plane. The RocHobby one is 10" smaller. Same paint scheme though.

@Mr.Laidukas 6 лет назад

Alex is taking a lead role in all videos while Josh is busy with the new head quarters? For quite a while I do not see your two video production guys in video background, whats with that? TJ is also missing, whats going on behind the curtains?

@joshuamelvin 6 лет назад

TheLaidukas no conspiracies friend. We are working hard on getting things started with the property. We want to have open flying within the month. TJ is running manufacturing and things are crazy busy with Stem and orders thanks to you guys. Everyone is working hard to make this a year to remember. Alex is doing a great job. We are all here and in content. Check out our new gas episode for some familiar faces. :)

@malelonewolf80 6 лет назад

Vakko? Should it not be Wei-ko in American pronounciation?

@CharlieFaulk 6 лет назад

Obviously that plane is dangerous. Took out a quad and almost killed Austin.

@MrCubcrazy 6 лет назад

This looks like the Dynam Waco, not the Rochobby.

@shelbyseelbach9568 6 лет назад

MrCubcrazy who would figure two different companies making the same model would look the same. Lol. The dynam waco is a 50 inch wingspan. Got one in the hangar.

@christianharriot1578 6 лет назад

The discontinued Rockhobby Wacos had wire supports on the wings, spring shocks on the landing gear and an scale prop mount design. Unless they made a different one that resembles the Dynam, it is a Dynam.

@shelbyseelbach9568 6 лет назад

Christian Harriot yes, i think it is the Dynam, as well. The color being non matching on the front cockpit is very telling. However, at the same time, the roc hobby waco only has flying wires if you install them, and they had the exact same paint job right down to the N number on the fuselage. I think it's more likely that the guys at flite test know what plane they are flying, however, don't you.

@christianharriot1578 6 лет назад

Shelby Seelbach, valid point about the wires. However, looking at the parts of their Waco in the video and comparing them to images online, there is mo doubt that it is Dynam. I have one and I flew with the other today. Also, if you look at the last bit of the video where a jump is made, the plane is large. If it looks like a duck and swims like a duck...

@shelbyseelbach9568 6 лет назад

Christian Harriot yes, the first part of my last comment was that i think it is the dynam as well. This plane, in yellow, is hanging on my wall right now about ten feet from me. Second part of my statement was the fact that the battery hatch (front cockpit) is a different color than the rest of the plane, just like the dynam waco hanging on my wall. Last part was that it would be weird for them not to know which plane they are flying.
