Best RC flying show by far! Great editing, cinematography, set up and the banter between both Josh and Josh is awesome. They make a great duo! Like it when they both switch between being smart and then not...lol! With 2 great sponsors where everything mentioned here can be found by anyone...the whole concept, reason, and making it all done down to earth instead of being technical and parts specific make this great for the Hobby! Keep up the great work FliteTest! Highly recommended I am assured!
Wow. OK guy's you got it perfectly correct. As a Extra class Radio Amateur, I have never heard Such a good description of EMF, ( electric Magnetic Field ). Keep up the good work, and lets see a flying Doughnut....
Carbon is conductive! its what resistors are made out of. It will block signals and carry current but also change the signals. We were welding suspension components on a Carbonfibre mono race car once and they didnt move the TIG earth lead and it still carried the current through the carbon chassis and still welded lol. Thats why nose cones in planes and rockets etc are made from glass fibre so it doesnt block, RF/radar/GPS etc
@2009PatrickWhite Not quite. There are plenty of receivers that already have two antennas at opposing angles in one receiver unit to optimalize reception itself, but the real problem generally is the radio system itself and it's vulnerability to a weak signal. If it needs a satellite, it's usually not very good. What they do not mention is that radio signals should be looked at as wave forms, ripples. This means that the blind spot will only affect the plane at extremely close or far range.
hey. KV stand for revolutions per volt. so a 2200kv will spin faster but wont be able to spin a big propeller. So for slow aeroplanes have a lower kv (750kv) spinning a larger propeller as this will produce better thrust. Always read what size propeller a motor can take. But fast = 2200kv low = 750kv , more torque (intial push) with a lower KV. It is more efficent to have a big slow propeller than a tiny fast one. An average kv is around 1200kv
Sorry I'm late to the party, but if you're using multiple satellite receivers how do you plug all of them into the main receiver? I've been out if the sport awhile (27ghz and 72ghz days) and this is all new to me.
I love you guys, and the work you do. (But please learn the difference between "well" and "good".) :D Looking forward to more (grammatically correct) videos. :) Love from Norway.
Do you know of a satellite antenna that works with Futaba in 2023? I can’t find one, can you please point me in the right direction. Thanks for the helpful and entertaining content
Is the satellite needed for the swappables such as the nutball? This year, I am going to be a beginner. I would be more likely to buy the receiver and the radio from spectrum without the satellite. Peace, Flood!
What about using carbon fiber in airframes? I've heard that it blocks RF signals terribly. I've also heard of RX that are specially made for carbon gliders.
@MADdrummer971 yes there's lots of money to be made working twelve hours a month as a co-host of a small TH-cam show. That's how I got the nice jacket ;)
would placing two satellites each at a wing tip then one going to the tail. would that cover it All? also can you get a 4 km radius with 2.4 or do I have to try to get 72?
Question... What if my receiver is only sending 1.5volts to the servos? It is a flight controller and receiver in one unit. Have you ever heard of this?
@wippo76: Amen to that bro! Spektrum is bad, even the new DSMX which are still ridiculously vulnerable to brown-outs The number one reason not to buy Spektrum radios, even their newer ones, is because it's simply unreliable. My Turnigy 9X does a better job (never lost a signal, 50$), heck even my Esky 2,4ghz 6ch is more reliable (never lost a signal, 30$). Then there's about a dozen equally expensive choices out there that are at least ten times better (Aurora 9, never lost a signal).
how to mount the turnigy 9x receiver on a plane?the antenna vertically or horizontally or just leave it in the belly of the plane?someone please tell me !!!i really need help to get the maximum range!!
TBH, i know this will be a lot of work, but when Josh bixler goes off explaining some things, i think you need an animation to visually describe what he's saying. I'm still a noob, and sometimes when he starts babbling with the jargon, i get lost... lol
please someone tell me how to mount my rx with only 1 antenna (the flysky rx)?do i need to mount the antenna 90 degrees?or just leave it horizontal in the plana?
the only RC system in the world you will need sattelites and better reception is Spektrum otherwise i would never trust my plane to a spektrum system, heard of to much crashes caused by loosing link if you loose reception for one second your plane is more than 6 seconds not in control ....stupid i think the new dsmx is better but all the old stuf is not good enough thats why I fly corona :)
Sounds like 2.4ghz is alot of trouble and not very reliable . I'll stick with my 36MHZ, super reliable and never a problem. Wouldn't trust 2.4 in my good aircraft, too much of a gamble.

One of your best yet. It's a very mysterious concept and very valuable for us to learn. Not the hard way, by losing control link and crashing.
You guys crack me up! Great videos with a lot of contents and a lot of humor! Keep up the good work!
The best RC show on youtube so far for me! Thanks!

You guys are awesome! Keep the videos coming!
You guys have put out another cracking show, top notch, keep up the doughnuts lol
THANKS FOR THIS! I have looked everywhere on the net to find info!

I dig the Toby Mac reference!
Thanks for the intro.... my headphone blowed up....
That donut looks tasty. You should eat one every show and some donut shop will definitely sponsor the show! ;)
Great episode (as ever)
...as the Futaba guys laugh.
A Spektrum/JR Guy.
And still futaba reigns supreme.
Well except radio master.
You guys are awesome. Thank you.
Hi guys, nice video very helpful could you tell me where can I buy one plane like this P-47? It's beautiful
you guys kill me :) Don't feed Joshua sugar ... he's already hyper!
I did not even read the comments. 😄😁
@sterby1
It's been done. Circular discs fly surprisingly well... look up the Nemeth Umbrella, Flying Flapjack, Sack AS.6, or Avrocar.
Sorry I'm late to the party, but if you're using multiple satellite receivers how do you plug all of them into the main receiver? I've been out if the sport awhile (27ghz and 72ghz days) and this is all new to me.

i agree, a flying donut would PWN!!!!!
Can you explain, in quick tip. How an single battery for the receiver, and an single battery for plane works/helps you?
Is the satellite needed for the swappables such as the nutball? This year, I am going to be a beginner. I would be more likely to buy the receiver and the radio from spectrum without the satellite. Peace, Flood!
I'm so loving this model. Little Josh better not eat them sugars, or he will be high on it 😀🇳🇱
First in Europe? Thanks! Love your videos.
What about using carbon fiber in airframes? I've heard that it blocks RF signals terribly. I've also heard of RX that are specially made for carbon gliders.
Funy how you can demonstrate a system shortcomings, while trying to make those look good.
what is that "diver city" you talk about, Bixler? Cheers!
edit: that was a great explanation by josh scott hahahaha
@ladybirdskaterboy Its a german translation etc. I like it, creative.
I would like to see a tip video on how to use a BEC
Do you think that the wires from the inside of an Ethernet cable could cause interference to the receiver if used as wiring for leds?
Do all receivers do this? If so, is it the same size "hole" in the receiving area in different brands?
blade 450 3d!!!! you gonna make an episode?
Yep I think a flying donut is needed here. Only because it would better explain the diversity of flying heheheh
@jeanorwin you do
@sterby1 time for a FliteTest scratchbuild...hehe!
Couldn't you use ferrite cores if your worried about signal interferences?
@MADdrummer971 yes there's lots of money to be made working twelve hours a month as a co-host of a small TH-cam show. That's how I got the nice jacket ;)
Signal intereference fade = signal multipathing?
"You never want your holes to line up"
*insert dirty joke here* :D
Maybe that’s why it’s age restricted.
@MADdrummer971 You need to watch more flitetest.
Hey guys. Can you tell me how to place those on a multicopter? Since there are many wires, escs and no space whatsoever.
@shebotnov sattelie antenna's are for more reliability its not a necessity
would placing two satellites each at a wing tip then one going to the tail. would that cover it All? also can you get a 4 km radius with 2.4 or do I have to try to get 72?
What about these new receivers that have internal antenas?????
@ladybirdskaterboy It's the point.
It's rude to talk with your mouth full. :)
All joking aside, good episode! Could you do something on DragonLink or other TX range extenders?
@lolziloveminecraft Turnigy 9X / Eurgle 9X / FlySky 9X same Tx different brands. Excellent.
Question... What if my receiver is only sending 1.5volts to the servos? It is a flight controller and receiver in one unit. Have you ever heard of this?
josh/ letem make it this time! hes skinny/ needs donuts
@wippo76: Amen to that bro! Spektrum is bad, even the new DSMX which are still ridiculously vulnerable to brown-outs

Then there's about a dozen equally expensive choices out there that are at least ten times better (Aurora 9, never lost a signal).
What did you do to our reception area? Hahaha ;)
Vote here if you want to see a flying donut
one of those Joshes seems to be quite high... ;D
how to mount the turnigy 9x receiver on a plane?the antenna vertically or horizontally or just leave it in the belly of the plane?someone please tell me !!!i really need help to get the maximum range!!
i face my antenna at my plane and i have never glitched or cut out
I never knew about the doughnut coverage...now I'm scared to fly
TBH, i know this will be a lot of work, but when Josh bixler goes off explaining some things, i think you need an animation to visually describe what he's saying.
I'm still a noob, and sometimes when he starts babbling with the jargon, i get lost... lol
Hes talking about the lost city of Atlantis that's what!
with 2.4 comes shorter range as well... That's why FPV'ers want 72
Furthermore, 72mhz is tried and true. Enjoy your 2.4 with your brownouts and reciver reboots and i will keep flying.
please someone tell me how to mount my rx with only 1 antenna (the flysky rx)?do i need to mount the antenna 90 degrees?or just leave it horizontal in the plana?
satellite antennas are SO 6 months ago. i mean really, what company other than spektrum still makes a receiver with a satellite?
I believe it was an old wooden ship.
I still fly with 35 Mhz and it works well So stick your 2.4 in a dark place ;)
on my trainer i just cram it in next to the servos lol
Can´t I just solder an additional wire to my RX? I mean, for my Tricopter V3?
Antenna wires should be designed and tuned to a specific length and frequency. If you just add random wire you may actually hurt your reception.
andguent Alright, thanks.
+iOS Beta Yeah, but youd run the risk of harming your electronics. But feel free to experiment
@TheSoxyrocks I always get 1 on my videos and it throws my percentage off :( haha
Start selling donats on your web side :-)
Hmmmmmmm donuts
@flienky lol on your own then
This is silly, i have been flying 72mhz for 15 years, since these guys were toddlers and have had no issues with it. Now its a routing problem?
@astarothgr I think they mean diversity.
the only RC system in the world you will need sattelites and better reception is Spektrum
otherwise i would never trust my plane to a spektrum system, heard of to much crashes caused by loosing link
if you loose reception for one second your plane is more than 6 seconds not in control ....stupid
i think the new dsmx is better but all the old stuf is not good enough
thats why I fly corona :)
/watch?v=oayR6s3ugFE
this is not only one person I know 2 friend who has the same experience
so buy as much sattelites you can find ...fly safe :)
Just get a Futaba?
Ah but I fly with Futaba.. I don't have to worry of this crap :D
just fly HITEC AURORA 9 2.4ghz
Like if you didnt understand... hehe
lots of holes....
Sounds like 2.4ghz is alot of trouble and not very reliable . I'll stick with my 36MHZ, super reliable and never a problem. Wouldn't trust 2.4 in my good aircraft, too much of a gamble.
the word is redundancy.
@turdsurfer
Nightflyyer did just that /watch?v=xRyOXDGgIh8
diversity
@shebotnov the antenna is not nessesary it will work without
The bald guy looks like hes really into rc planes, the other with the cap, gloves, and nice jacket looks like hes in this just for the money.
MazdaBass971 how????
would have watched video couldn't cancel advertising
isn't it flight not flite
donuts in a bag? you ohio folks are weird.
Could not watch all this to the end...you guys are so annoying the way you go on...sorry...
don't smash your donuts either. got it.
so i need to buy donuts to fly? man i'm gone to get fat.
