Have you ever wondered what it would look like if you crossed your favorite spaceship from buck Rogers with a classic early jet age design and your favorite Marvin the Martian rocket ship? Today we find out! If you know, Josh, you know his love for crazy cartoony designs that not only are fun to look at, but also fly. In all of joshes designs, he’s never designed a jet. That’s today’s challenge! Josh takes his favorite childhood memories and combines them with early aviation to create the new FT Retro Rocket. With a bunch of unanswered questions, watch as this retro design goes from a concept to a reality that anyone can build and fly. With each success, the ideas and chaos grow until the vision of this new model are complete. The FT retro rocket is now available in our store with all the great new features created from this video. If you’ve ever been on the fence on getting into EDF model aviation, we hope this episode helps.

After all, Josh is the spirit of Flite Test, when he loses inspiration, the videos feel more dull. It was awesome seeing him find inspiration again with the EDF jets, and the episode felt like the old FT episodes where they would always build something new and have a blast with it. Good job on the design Josh, wishing you more inspiration for the future creations!
Thank you, brother. Means a lot! Truly blessed to be part of a great team, and a great community!
Brings back memories of the "Old Days", and Buck Rogers design-era! Thanks Josh, for the memories and ALL you do for the Flying Community. I've built most of the Adams Foam Board-type of planes you offer in plans, and if it wasn't for You and the Flite Test Team, I never would have even tried R/C Planes.
Am I the only one who thinks we need a rocket powered Retro Rocket? It looks like a Space Shuttle, so let’s launch it like one!
Yea I agree space shuttle with booster and mane fuel tank parachutes the works.
Like a goofy Dream Chaser ! On top of a BFR !
I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t rocket powered
I was thinking the same thing.
How much is that kit...il take one...lol
Great video and great design! I'ts good to see more of the fun and goofy side of Flite Test again!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I loved this video! Awesome plane! Looked like a blast to fly. That thrust vectoring was hilarious to watch. This was also the first time i shared a FliteTest video with one of my kids, who is only 18 months. She was so interested and wanted to watch. After watching you guys for over 10 years, that was a very special moment. Keep up the good work and thanks for the amazing content. Also, hope you feel better Josh.
Congratulations on the growing family! Thank you for your 10 years of support and for making this hobby something you can do to connect with your kids :-) wish you many happy memories in the future brother!
@@FliteTest Thank you so much!
Definitely a Marvin the martian craft..
Love it!
That's looks like so much fun! You guys rock!
Looks awesome. I really wish that flitetest would be more available in Europe. Getting things shipped from the US is so expensive.
I love it! It looks like a stubby, cartoon version of the old space shuttle. So cool.
Just ordered mine as an EDF! Good value with the servos, Y harnesses and ESC
Mine will be delivered tomorrow can’t wait to start building!
This is totally awesome. What a great job Josh.
Thanks, brother!
Just had a brainstorm. FPV Bomb Drop Golf. Take off from the tee, whatever the distance to the hole is the altitude you must achieve. Drop as close to the flag as you can. Group of 4, two 2-man teams. Pilot and short game golfer. 4 holes, after 2 you switch. Switch back for each playoff hole, if no winner after 4. We don't DRIVE the ball, we DROP the ball! 😁 hehe Whadaya think?? (Apologies if you've already done this.)
now this is good
Thanks! 🙂@@philipluvsairplanes
Those flat spins are ridiculous!
Such a cool looking plane. Looks like I have another kit to buy from you guys. 😁
I'm a balsa man but this one looks really great 👍 You guys are really doing a great job for the hobby, been with you from the start🙃
That looks like a lot of fun. Now I want to vector thrust everything!
RETRO ROCKET!!!! FTW!!! Upside down flat spins for DAYS!
Jet looks like a cartoon space shuttle. Very cool.
Bought one, I'm excited to build it with my son.
10 foot giant scale! Use the motors out of the land speeder!
I think this is the cutest JET i have ever seen before!! well done flitetest you guys have came to o far!! keep it up the good work. btw i have also maded many of your jet models.i also got a price from my school for your jet design hehe!! thankyou flite test!!!!!!!
I just got here and you guys are the best channel I have ever seen. I know imma be here for a while ☺
You guys have the IRON GIANT
Sorry for multiple replies but you guys are very very awesome and made me interested in planes and aerodynamics. I am glad I found your yt channel
LETS GO! Retro Rocket Build video coming SOON!
Just fabulous!
You guys and girls have come a long way. 👍 I’ve been there from the beginning.
Thank you for being part of the family brother!
To find the CG, you should build a stand with a post about 1" diameter sticking straight up. Then, setting the aircraft on the post, you can move it around until you find your center of gravity. Repeat the process if you're going to use trim weights.
It would be interesting to see you guys try designing a "high-bypass" EDF, where you have the small motor and a small blade inside the duct, but then you also have that big fan on the front giving you a large volume of push.
Being 70 years old it would be great to be able to get the planes for it because I don't have much of an income so I have very little to spend on my hobbies
people, such a cute and nice design!!
Looks similar to S.H.A.D.O. SKY-1 from the old TV show UFO. That would be a great build using this plane as a guide.
You could do that one as a space shuttle! It's almost the same shqpe and it would be awesome!!🤩
Some of us have way too much experience extracting planes from that willow tree. We should have filmed the recovery using the half a fishing rod Mikey brought us. I almost died. Really. You guys were out at Vans and poor Jen had to deal with us. LOLOL!!!!!
ME WANT!!!!!! You're amazing Josh and team!!!!!!! Love you guys!!! I have a lot of your foam left, so I NEED this one!! LOL I'm in love with the cartoon stuff!!!!! Can't wait to retire in Ohio with my family and cousins at Lake Mohawk!!! I'll be there a LOT!!!!! LOL I want to build a Firefox jet in that Clint Eastwood movie! That would be SO AMAZING!!!!!
Can’t wait to fly with your brother. Lake Mohawk is a fantastic place to retire. Are you coming to this year’s flitefest?
@@FliteTest I visited your place when I went there in 2021 and missed ALL of you main guys. Got pics though never visited the flight field. I was really bummed to not meet Josh or anyone else that I see on YT. But it was CV19 season, so was amazed we even got to see your place. I'm self employed which means I don't have vacations. UGH!!!!! It may be another 7 years if I'm lucky, but if I get to go back there before then, you will ALWAYS be on my bucket list for EVERY visit!!!! I almost feel you are all family to me sharing such a passion for flight. Pray for my success so that I may be able to retire, maybe not at the lake, but close by. I actually want a big enough property to have my own field, but if not then live close enough to visit you often!
@@FliteTest My brother lives close to me in AZ, but he gets there way more often than I do. He brought me some waterproof foam board to make some of your planes from. My nephew Caleb was with him there as well. He has since learned to fly RC. You guys are awesome. I remember your early videos WAY before you got popular and thought you were nutz then. LOL The butane afterburner was one of my favorites!!! That's going way back. Don't even know if you were called flitetest back then. I think it was before the gremlin logo. LOL Great times!!
dude, this is awesome! love it and the excitement!!
I feel ya on the age thing, im the same age same problems, but i refuse to give up my POP! i wasn't allowed any candy or nothing, chips pop nothing as a kid, made me way to hyper, i got making up to do... LOL as for the plane, since you're making a bunch of them, ADD PAINT BALL GUNS!
Let me suggest a scale model of the Space Shuttle... because that seems fun! If you make it big enough, it can use 3 EDFs with thrust vectoring.
That is impressive and hilarious.
A little imagination and the shape looks like it could lend itself into....a space shuttle?????
Looks like a stubby A4 Skyhawk without the elevator plane.
You guys constantly amaze with the kid-like astonishment of all your creations. I think that just might be a large part of the success of FT 👍👍
Thank you brother!
Reminds me of the space shuttle in the air.
This reminds me of Dr. Zarkov's Rocketship (the original Flash Gordon ) paired with TinTin et Milou's Spacerocket.
Now I’ve got Retro Rocket fever!!!
I love the design, Josh!
Thanks brother. Had a blast designing it with the team. Can’t wait to see these flying all over the place at Flitefest!
love your videos josh and dave
Awesome plane ✈ it reminds me of the messersmitt me 163 comet ☄ 😊
So cool. Im definitely getting one soon!!
When will the plans be released so we can cut our own out?
I vote for an EDF flerkn
Bout time we get some EDF action
Looks wise it kinda reminds me of the space shuttle.
Very nice build!.
It's a plus-size Pun Jet!
Stubby! lol Gotta put an EDF in that thing though!!
I call "DIBS" on designing a ROCKET MOTOR version! 😱😁😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸
God I'd love to see you guys make the iron giant rc, make him re-enact the superman final scene from the movie
Ducted fan for the win.
Your retro rocket looks like the old Roger ramjet cartoon series plane.
Fantastic
Reminds me of the space shuttle
"Thats why all of our batteries are dented "!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing looks like an A-4 skyhawk ran into a wall and got squished, lol.
Looks so cool!!
The FTCA loves a good FT Retro Rocket! ;) haha
That thing screems vertical launch to me.
THIS is the BEST! 😁
I just might get one of these! 😱😁😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸
You mean the FT Viggen wasn't trainer like enough? 😅😂😊
Edf that thing!!!
You're looking a lot better for 45 than me 🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧👍
Amazingly well balanced 👍🏻
Make yhe rudder functional too....I want one to put a 12 blAde 6s edf in with thrust vector in larger size for sure
LETS GO!!
Awesome project! Can you add an fpv option?
How about building a model of the Piaggio P180 Avanti !! 🌿
WOOHOO!!!! Retro Rockets!!!! ;)
When is the 185% plan going to be done? Will it use the XL power pack? I'm very interested in that version.
Try making a large plane with smaller planes attached to the wing that deploy and reattach
That sounds like so much fun! We could probably use the Meglacy as the airplane carrier!
Could you guys make a series on how to design planes in 2d or 3d cad, or is there one that you recommend?
More of this please
You got it!
Hey just can an EDF be submerged under water and still work?
Bring to SA!!!
What about the x-29? Or the viggen? huh HUH! (Also plz bring back the viggen 🙏)
Such a cool looking build! What was that CAD program called?
Can you add the dji 03 for fpv on these fixed wings?i think that would be sick
I WANT ONE!!!
Nice
Do you have the plans for the big one available??
Hi! Interesting! 😊
Which 6S 2200 pack are you using for the EDF? 6S batteries & an 80a ESC are HEAVY, but they work just fine with this model? Or, can I run the EDF on a lighter 4S & ESC? Thanks.
We use a series connector it takes to 2200 3cells and makes it a 2200 6cell. We’re going to have an adapter that will be available in the store very soon for that. You can also have a great success from a 2200 five cell. Still office great power. You’ll need to use a different EDF than what we have in the store to go to 4cell.
🤠
Was going to order but the carbon vector was not available....
need more kits and maker foam in the UK!!! especially now that plans arent available, would like to make one of these retro rockets but doesnt look like its going to happen
We’ll see what we can do :-). We want to support our friends across the pond!
Let`s build a big wind tunnel.
🚀
Can you build a 15 foot wingspan V-22 Osprey
Have you (or anyone) built either a flying Space Battleship Yammato, or an SDF-1?
The passion ones haves when payed to not work and play in your basement, this is not a job but a hobby , most be nice to live in your Pj's
I'm jealous...
You know, to me it's sorta reminds of a cartoonish F-4😅😁🤔
This means you have to build a cartoon aircraft carrier for it to land on .... you whimper at 45 , at 50 I ran the local PD , agility test with a buddy the same age ...we passed , then watched as dozens of 20 year Olds failed. Now at 75 ouch walking the dog is a pain.
Hey will anyone tell me on what size of paper do I need to print the full size plan's😅😅
Are there any plans for this please?
