Will it fly? | 15-Foot C-130 Hercules Cargo Plane? 😱

You guys need to put a hundred mini parachute army men in the back and simulate a paratrooper drop.

The dude flying the drone has some serious skills.

19:36 ABSOLUTELY buttered the bread with that landing!!!! Probably the best RC landing I’ve ever seen seen

It’d be really cool to see an AC-130 gunship with paintball/Airsoft guns and some other goodies with motors to turn and pull the triggers.

As somebody that works on actual 130s, this was really cool to see. You guys made it look pretty accurate, and it flew really well. Kudos.

That thing needs to drop an RC tank with 3 parachutes out the back that then drives off. Make it so.

just wait until they put a tiny verison of a thermo nuke in it and paint it into thomas the thermonuclear bomber

This is a cool project just because it shows what's possible. I was laughing when JB said "don't expect a kit".

> "Dont ever ask for this to be kitted." Wrong. I am asking. Make it so.

In the military the C130J is primarily used for jumping paratrooper. It would be so cool see little dudes coming out the back!!!

Whether it’s a business decision or personal decisions, I appreciate the fact that there is never any foul mouth or terrible behavior from any of you in your vids. Way to be in this day and age.

That landing was amazing, I repeated it several times. :) 19:35

Third order shipped from FliteTest today! I am so loving building their kits! The hobby keeps me happy/relaxed when dealing with my anxiety. Thanks guys for being so awesome!

Would be awesome to launch out 50 army figures with parachutes. That would be a sight to see along with a tank or humvee!

"Hopefully it flies." Everytime I flew on a C130 with a cracked wingbox.

I built John's Corsier 3 years back, whenever it first came out, and it still is one of my favorites. It just flies so very well, light, fast, and extremely maneuverable. I have already put it through three seasons, and the fact that it still flies is a testament to John's talent.

Imagine converting this C-130 to an AC-130 that can do ground strikes with airsoft guns, would look awesome!

Please make it into an A/C-130U Spooky with the same Airsoft tracers you used for the awesome A-10C vid you made!!!

I spent 4 years in the Army jumping out of C-130's and C-141's. This just got me all amped up. Would love to see you figure out little paratroopers off the tailgate!

Thank you guys for keeping these videos clean and wholesome. Your team is still adventurous and creative but with quality as the backbone. Doing the right thing is not an old school way of thinking but is time less. Thank you for not compromising. The moral value your giving to your viewers and this hobby are really inspirational.

Josh, that was the PERFECT landing. Just lightly kissed the strip and wings barely flexed. Nice job guys.👏👏👏😁

Sooooooo..... When's the speed build kit coming?

A true work of art! The word "congratulations" is all I have; but I feel it's a bit of an understatement.

13 years of being an aircrew member on 130’s this was fantastic.

Does anyone else agree that it's satisfying to watch the plane land so gracefully or is that just me?

Wow! Watching that thing fly is amazing. It makes the quad look so small in formation. Congrats to all for an awesome build and flight. John, you are a true foam board master.

My Son was a crew chief on a CH-47G when he was in the Army. CH-47 may be a great Project. I was in the 82nd Abn and have jumped out of a C-130 many times. Loved this Vid. thank you

You guys make your flights and landings look so easy...very impressive!! Great build too!!!

I jumped out of the jerky bird too many times in the Army. I would love to see a scale 64 troop drop on an LZ! That would be awesome.

Make a conveyor system to drop sequential parachuters out the back. Make one line line of them in the sky.

Wishing I'd seen this a year ago. Mostly because I would have loved to see it painted & dropping a (whole bunch) of parachuters like a big military operation with equipment & personnel. If you still have the plane I'd even have an idea to make such an event worth doing, but that's another conversation. So very glad to see this aeroplane, it really made my day, thank you for taking the time to make this video.

I like it when brilliant minds decide on a hobby. So amazing! Keep up the good projects!

Wow, it's beautiful! You should do actual supply drops with it. Humvee's, artillery, pallets of food/supplies/ammo, LAVS, all with chutes and flares. Love the vid, can't wait to see what you guys do with it!

When I heard you guys say that the chase drones batteries were running low, I was seriously hoping that you were going to fly it into the cargo hatch and park it in the C-130. There you go, try to land a drone inside of the C-130 while it is in flight.

I’ve stumbled into watching these videos a few weeks ago and now I’m hooked ! Never really been in to RC other than having the odd thing as a kid. Got to say it’s fascinating to see what you guys do and your flying skills are unreal. I’ve subscribed so going to be trawling through your content for a while which I’m looking forward too 🤟🏻

Had to come back and watch this one again. Just AWESOME...!!!

I reckon drop a swarm of like 20 inductrix’s out the back and then have them all fly back, that would look so damn cool!

I think it would be cool if you guys had it done up in the Coulson Aviation water bomber livery as a tribute to the American C130 pilots who died in the Australian bushfires after the plane crashed.

TO land like that without flaps...WOW You nailed it. You had some physics on your side for sure. I get excited every time I see a C-130 running down the strip.

The flight was AMAZING! Perfect landing. PERFECT

It’s so awesome seeing someone recreate one of the best cargo planes ever made.

I'd love to see you guys build a giant foam spruce goose

This was on my birthday... Thank you for giving me a great time on my birthday cuz i got a ac-130 plane model set on my bday

I love the following drone video, you truly get to see how the aircraft is behaving in the air. This is a wonderful video topped by the perfect landing.

Did he just say, "fly something out the back of it"? 😁

Finish it. My father retired from the Blue's in 1974. I would like to see that paint scheme, on your bird.Thanks, PEACE

You should do flares out of the back! You can create that "angel wing flare" pattern and it would look AMAZING!!

This is the first site I have found a reason to subscribe to. You are amazing creative geniuses!!

The Hurc is one of favs. So happy this got made. And that landing!

This really makes me want to get into the rc plane hobby...

Awesome C-130!! You guys did a great job. Thanks

That was so beautiful. It looked scale. I think that is the first time I have seen an RC look so scale. Nice build.

when you have tried everything you have to put rocket motors on it like the fat albert! but try everything else before that in case of it gets destroyed

Plane: goes up at 30 degrees Everyone: *ITS GOING VERTICAL*

The video was great. Was marveling at the skills of the drone operator. He was able to get shots and at great angles. Highly impressed by the plane too.

All that and a perfect landing, too. AWESOME!~!!

How bout Flite Test version of "M.O.A.B." coming out of the back. But what about a large scale ducted fan A12/SR71 :-P

That landing was BUTTER!

Absolutely perfect landing. I'm so excited to start ordering and building some of the bigger series aircraft. I want a "big " collection from them.. I would love a p38 as well. Beautiful plane model build.

This just keeps better and better. Sure wish my Dad and his brother were still around to also enjoy it.

Stick a fire extinguisher in the back with the nozzle sticking out a little, then use servos to squeeze the lever, you now have a C-130 Fire Attack plane 👌

I would love to see you guys for some of those micro drones out of the back that would be cool! You have to paint it like fat Albert though!

Using a transmitter without a neck strap is crazy to me. When I have to hold one just with my hands my flying precision drops for sure. Awesome video and build!

Was a crew chief in the airforce for this. The j model. Thing was a beast. Fun times and great work on this

My dad used to fly C-130s and absolutely loved this. He’s in Afghanistan right now and flies a caravan

Make Green Not War, carpet bomb an area with tree seeds

AWESOME build and maiden vid --- well done guys :)

I'm a pastor who had two members, one a pilot and another a loadmaster, who flew the full-sized C-130. Great Job FT!!

Speaking of Hercules - someone should do a model of Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" Hercules, and see how well it flies...

This is great. I've been waiting for something like this. My Dad flew 130s for years and it's been my favorite plane for a long time. Thanks y'all.

The skills of the guy with the drone are just mind blowing!

Imagine taking this to a airsoft field and screaming “ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE

That is soooooooo life-like in the air. (ex-RAF and three tours as ground crew) Great job guys!

I always get the vibe that Stefan is their weed connection, always an important member of any team.

Amazing well done. Love it. That's so good that you should consider skinning it with carbon fiber (or e-glass) and vacuum bagging it for additional structural rigidity and longevity.

That's fantastic. Was expecting you guys to try and land the quad inside the rear opening. Now that would be so cool

Gotta be a Paradrop... after that the AC-130 gunship sounds about right, bb guns and paintball cannon...

DRONE MISSION!! 3 minutes to drop some quads out the back, they then have to reach a target point and do a small task, and return to the c 130!

I was a talon2 130 crew chief, this episode really made me smile, well done.

Wow . That was amazing guys! keep up the good work!.

I dream of one day seeing an rc Ekranoplan in that scale

Imagine having a paintball gun mounted on the side and able to shoot like a gunship and then having a mini drone or 2 in the back fall out and fly

that maker space is just awesome. such a cook vibe it has

Came here soooo randomly, but watched the whole thing, nice work boys!

So, I see everyone getting upset about the amount of ad’s in these videos. I have a few things I’d like to say. 1. Yes this is not the original FliteTest with Josh and Josh. And thank god. That stuff worked. And it was good. But these crazy ideas is what has made this a more palatable channel and one that can attract more viewers. These guys need to make a living too. And if it means me fast forwarding through 2 minutes of a dollar shave club ad to get some decent content. So be it. 2. As I mentioned previously, it’s not the original Josh and Josh. However. FliteTest is not the only thing that has changed. It’s getting harder and harder for RU-vid content creators to make the money they used to. RU-vid has changed also. They have to change for it all to work. If what your all saying is you want FliteTest without the ads, the only response I have is, it isn’t possible. I create content here on RU-vid. We make zero money on it. 10 years ago it would’ve been possible. But with more content comes a more difficult ability to make money straight from the content. Entertainment is a commodity and is no different than oil or beef. If you think everything that goes into this can just be done in an afternoon on a Saturday you’re sadly mistaken, the production quality and capital that go into this channel are second to none. But that requires sponsorship, and again; suffer through the 2 minute plug? Is it that big of a deal? Most of us watch NFL on Sunday’s and we all sit through ads to watch it. If the content is good we will always come back. I would love for anyone to try and debate with me the fact that doing this without sponsorship is impossible, I work in marketing. And these guys do a great job at keeping the ads to a minimum for us. 3. This one is to the guys at FliteTest, and I hope they see this. You guys do a great job. I can hardly open a model aviation magazine anymore without seeing something from you guys in it. And that’s awesome. You’ve kept this hobby alive and you now carry the torch. It’s a hefty responsibility. You are the 21st century RCM magazine. You have ideas, innovation, and content that keep people interested. Thank you so much for doing this for the hobby that’s been in so many people’s families for many years. As long as the content is good (which it is.) we’ll keep coming back for years and years to come. 4. In closing. Josh Bixler used to come and fly back at our field, when he lived in our neighborhood. He was a great guy, very personable and cared about the experience we all shared. He’s a good dude. He’s keeping the hobby going. Watch the Dollar Shave Club ad. It will be over soon, and watch these guys create something amazing.

That is, without question, the coolest plane I've ever seen.

These guys have the BEST Job in the world.

You guys are starting to need an actual size hangar, dig an underground hangar to store all the massive planes..... and have an elevator just for the planes like on aircraft carriers

Absolutely brilliant guys. Well executed, it’s so good to see modellers who are great pilots showing these amazing builds the flights they deserve!

Awesome. I'm pretty disappointed that this was never finished or there wasn't another video of it after it was finished though. Amazing build.

Holy crap that flies so well! Smooth and responsive and plenty of go given that it's so damn big! I really want to do a copy of this some time!

Turn it into a gunship with airsoft to use against a tank of “ground forces” lol

Spectacular. It was beautiful to watch in the air, and that landing! Josh! That's gotta be amongst your favorite landings ever.

What a beautiful maiden flight and landing 👍👍👍

Mad respect to the drone flying skills.

You got a thumbs up for that PERFECT landing!

Now just need Airborne Troopers flying out the back of it. Go Army.

That landing was gooood!

ive been sub to you guys for along time so proud to see this channel grow like it has.
