Today we meet up with a good friend John Overstreet to build and fly two giant foamboard F-18 fighter‘s. With different performance mods, which one will come out on top?! Along with our DIY F-18s, we have needed reinforcements to help us fiberglass our monster 20 foot B-17. Our first flight is just around the corner and it’s time to make this plane strong and beautiful. Watch as we take you through the steps needed the fiberglass your own crazy creation with the help from our Good friend Tanner Ewing from Tritium Electronics!

If you integrated the motors with some “fuel tanks” mounted right on the wing spars they wouldn’t be visible in flight AT ALL…just an idea.

@eulachonfish 2 года назад

Has John tried a BDF style powerplant on the F-18? If it works, it could be a good third option instead of EDFs or a boom mount. Since you're doing more 3D printed stuff on the channel lately, it might be good to feature the BDF sometime for those who haven't seen it. It's a good fit for jets in this style and more accessible than EDFs.

@bartoszbuchalski6730 Год назад

Hi FliteTest, I have a idea for a hole series! Build a actual, real life plane, you could make like 3 seasons with this, one of you would make a pilot's licence and you would build a WW1 style plane, this will cost from 5-15 thousand, but think about the views and subscribers you could get. Thanks for reading this massage

@26eckhat11 2 года назад

For the Cobra you guys were trying to do you can successfully pull it off by going just over stall speed and pulling up very sharply. (I have perfected the technique on those f-18s)

@vrienne388 2 года назад

crazy idea: create a plane with a car battery and alternator, using wind to simulate the rotation of tires for the alternator to recharge the car battery. it would be a really big plane but ... if it works, the plane would be able to stay in the air much longer and would be incredible... if it works and is possible.

@1Thatstrangeguy 2 года назад

I bet you could make that jet really do some radical maneuvers if you attached a servo to the power boom to make the motors rotate up and down.

It would be interesting to see a FliteTest F-18 (2x70mm) go up against a more conventional F-18, say a freeing 1x90mm, and see how they compared in terms of flight performance.

@mdwags99 2 года назад

Hey guys! Great builds! You were apologetic about the conventional motors mounted on the wings. I have seen F-18s with large pods under the wings. Not sure if these are fuel tanks or something else. What about building a couple of pods and hiding the motors inside. When the prop is spinning you don't even see it. Would be stealthy (pardon the use of that term with this aircraft).

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VaezsUq5ZWI.html this? those are likely electronic warefare pods. Maybe the twin boom thing could be turned into a Growler (electronic warfare variant of the f-18)

Can you use 40mm 1u server rack fans as EDFs? I have a few that are two stage. The first is a super sharp 5 blade that has a psudo cone and is 30mm in length. The second stage is a counter rotating 4 blade with a shallower angle that is 25mm in length. They can move some serious air.
