Boys, remember your high school physics, acceleration of a falling object is 9.8 m/s/s regardless of weight, until it reachs a terminal velocity of 118mph, in a bomber, the pilot did not release the bombs, they had someone else aboard who did.
Terminal velocity is not 118mph for all objects. I know you know this. Just your post made it sound like that so I wanted to make sure if someone else came along they had that clarification
Correct, Mass does not influence acceleration, but it does influence the force on the object, so a heavier bomb will hit the ground with a greater force
Flying Tank was THE Flight Test GOAT Episode!!! Such a victory! It wasn't suppose to fly yet fly it did! Personal Favourite!! Bring on the massive flying tank please. Good vibrations to the whole flight test Crew, fans, builders & flyers!
Have you considered adding a bombardier’s camera? A second man could have a VR headset and a radio with stick control…approaching the target, the bombardier takes over and guides it in and releases.
we (me and my nephews and nieces) made drop bombs too but we used paper mesh to make shell rather than using plastic or 3d printed parts since those were kinda suppose to explode and spread out powdered color fillings. also i forgot to mention one of my nephew used those empty juice box as shell. easier to fill and no cost in built.
Could you run a second radio and an FPV for the bomb site and bomb release and have a bombardier in charge of the drop? Seems like it would be pretty easy to set up and would take the guess work out of it. Still, that was an incredible drop of precision with LOS flying and such altitude! Josh has some serious piloting skills! Great episode! Been a fan since 2012! Thanks for all you do!
Could use iNav on a F411-WTE FC to have the bomb site FPV camera adjust angle based on altitude and speed too. Wouldn't take much work in the Logic Commands, but probably several test flights.
I think adding small parachutes to the bombs will give you bigger coverage and accuracy on the drop. May be even can get a video shot of hits from the air..
if you use the line tracking kits on the tanks you could set up a line outside having a moving convoy of tanks and then you could do bombing runs or hook the plane up with one of the laser systems and the tanks with receivers and when they get shot a thingymabob blows up (idk if that would work, its like the architects dream is an engineers nightmare kinda thing.... yknow)
You can drop multiple bombs in sequence using a single motor and a carousel. It might have been a squeeze to fit it into the B25 but I'd love to see a more complex release mechanism that allows for multiple bombing runs in future attempts :)
Idk of this is a good idea but,,, You guys should make a stits SA-2A Skybaby, that's the official smallest plane in the world,, en you guys should make a 1/1 scale version I mean it's not that big so it's easy to build and you have your first ever 1/1 rc plane,,,
Hey @FliteTest i have a question. With larger builds, do you use multiple receivers linked to 1 transmitter if you have too many functions to connect to 1 receiver? Im just asking because i plan to build a plane and the gear system is really complex because i want to have it realistic to the gear of the actual plane so it looks good. Love your content btw🤩
Flying tanks bombing some planes, now that would be cool and completely different.. but also a plane able to launch a rescue boat would be awesome. If anyone can do it, its FliteTest!!
G1 Transformers had a character named Blitzwing. He was a Decepticon triple changer and very popular. He changed from a jet to a tank and to a robot. That big flying tank made me think of Blitzwing. Very cool
Just an idea to take the bomber to the next level, the bombardier can wear fpv goggles and have a camera pointing down simulating bomb sights and have the bombardier launch the bombs. Just a thought
One day I wanna be as good as y’all and make models like this, yall one of my favorite TH-camrs ever maybe one day I can be as good as y’all are at this stuff, keep up the good work love y’all
It would be great if you guy’s included a bomber view, since the bombers would have a sight with a crosshair on it that was fixed to show where the bombs would hit, that would definitely make it a lot easier to aim!
It’s great, I have my own army of rc planes, so much fun, I have followed you guys since you did the review on the F4F wildcat, still never cease to amaze me
Have you looked at the DJI T-40 agricultural drones. They can lift a person easy as they can carry well over 100 pounds. They are a bit pricy at $26K for the whole kit (drone, battery, charger, remote...). The sprayer system and tanks are easy to remove and it has a heavy duty open tube frame with the center open. Think of the things you could do with that.
you need to put them all on a bar/rail on hooks that release by servo, so you can drop them individually. Using a spring to push them individually to the end of the bar to be dropped from the bomb bay.. XL version?
Messaging while I'm watching. Must say right away that the bomb explosion is very scale looking. And I always enjoy things when they're scale. That's just me anyways I'm going to continue to watch I'll leave my final message at the end you guys are awesome.
Hey, have you thought about trying to do a model version of the US' "Rapid Dragon" system that you drop out of a cargo plane? It parachutes and launches multiple rockets downwards.
Hi FliteTest! Would be awesome if you could build a Canadair CL-415 (those big yellow and red firefighter planes) you guys are so awesome thank you for all your content.
i saw what looked like a target mowed in the grass. I am thinking you guys have a bombing raid (using your favorite bombers in a somewhat formation) and see how acurate it is with the bombs you dropped in this video

Fpv camera with cross hair would be the job 👍
air resistance 🤓
🤓
Seems Dave is becoming the star of the show. His innovations are outstanding. Watch out Josh!
Thank you for the kind words but no one could ever replace that man. He is the one and only
@@davidjester5085 yeah i was about to say 😂
agreed 😆

That’s hat I almost said then I read this comment
And 2, you could also use a normal camera, but facing downward with great fps and cross-hares.
we (me and my nephews and nieces) made drop bombs too but we used paper mesh to make shell rather than using plastic or 3d printed parts since those were kinda suppose to explode and spread out powdered color fillings.
also i forgot to mention one of my nephew used those empty juice box as shell. easier to fill and no cost in built.
idea: Make an airport out of cardboard, fill it with anti air guns, and have a bomber plane attack it
Would love to see the B-25 XL as a kit! Great inspiration as always!
Completely agree!

yeah but fill the bombs with gunpowder
i was born in 2012 march 26

PLEASE do more of these. I love the destruction type videos. Especially the b17.
You guys look like you guys have more fun than what is legally allowed! Keep it up!
Yes! Bring back the flying tanks ! Loved the original. And yes I want to see a flying tank kit !
Absolutely we had a blast watching this . Fantastic job again boys.
Why is this channel so underrated?
if you use the line tracking kits on the tanks you could set up a line outside having a moving convoy of tanks and then you could do bombing runs or hook the plane up with one of the laser systems and the tanks with receivers and when they get shot a thingymabob blows up (idk if that would work, its like the architects dream is an engineers nightmare kinda thing.... yknow)
Bixler's are the best in the biz!
Proud of y'all!!! 🐐
Would be interesting to have a 2nd person running bombs like the B17 turrets. A bomb site with elevation and ground speed would help dial it in.
Make a nuke filled with flour
Oooooo
Fr tho
Bro is straight up building bombs in the basement lmao..

You have to make that with the b17
Greetings from germany
Definitely more tank episodes and please please release the plans for it as you actually said you would in one of your episodes.
The amazement never stops with this channel. Ever!
Awesome as always! For the next project I suggest Chuck Yeager's X1 test flight. Maybe with a small rocket drive, dropped from the wing of the B17?
Idk of this is a good idea but,,,
You guys should make a stits SA-2A Skybaby, that's the official smallest plane in the world,, en you guys should make a 1/1 scale version
I mean it's not that big so it's easy to build and you have your first ever 1/1 rc plane,,,
you make the most complex subjects super relatable!
Great video folks! Who could refuse a flying tank video!!!!

Can you make the flying tank shoot at the airplane? Tank/Airplane air dog fight... lol
Flying tanks bombing some planes, now that would be cool and completely different..
but also a plane able to launch a rescue boat would be awesome. If anyone can do it, its FliteTest!!
I like how these guys making replica and testung them so satisfying
DAVE!! I NEED THAT SHIRT @ 5:44

Loving all the frequent uploads, keep up the good work!
The FBI, CIA, and KGB just subscribed!!!!
As a western New Yorker now living in the EU, I loved hearing Stefen saying "krick" instead of creek.
Great vid❤️
Fly those lil tanks guys!!! Awesome episode
Amazing video, as always! I love the B-25 and the tanks, good job!
Just an idea to take the bomber to the next level, the bombardier can wear fpv goggles and have a camera pointing down simulating bomb sights and have the bombardier launch the bombs. Just a thought
@flitetest could you also super size your b 25 to the same scale as youe massive b 17?
From Panzer to Bixler tank with wings whooohooo too funny ! Looking forward the tank mayhem !!!
One day I wanna be as good as y’all and make models like this, yall one of my favorite TH-camrs ever maybe one day I can be as good as y’all are at this stuff, keep up the good work love y’all
Your inspiring me to make my own model plane but I know that I have to start of small. Love y’all ❤️
I got a good idea German ratta vs 2 b10 bombers
Josh, the whole crew should all fly bombers and drops shells on a group of tanks together!!!
Dave is a superstar! Also love his shirt, need to get one of those
Loved this. Please keep up the fun!
This came out the same day two other vintage planes collided at a Dallas air show
Please bring the flying tank back
It would be great if you guy’s included a bomber view, since the bombers would have a sight with a crosshair on it that was fixed to show where the bombs would hit, that would definitely make it a lot easier to aim!
Too much fun. Love this channel. Cheers guys
Guys this was sooooo Awesome
When somebody wants to attack us, I'm getting with you guys!
Ha Ha. I need to build a B-25, one of my favorite bombers of WW2, and definitely the bombs. Thanks for the video
It’s great, I have my own army of rc planes, so much fun, I have followed you guys since you did the review on the F4F wildcat, still never cease to amaze me
I love this channel, from Brazil 🇧🇷

You should make a full sized spitfire
Classic. this channel i have watched for a long time i saw the a10 vs tank vid i saw EVERYTHING ove this channel 5 stars
Absolutely freaking loved it

COOL I like how when the bomb hits it makes a gunfire noise and explodes with smoke
i love your videos their amazing
What If the bombs exploded inside the plane 😅😅
That’s what I was thinking 😂
Awesome episode fellas, nice work!
Mike made the Imperial Japanese Navy proud with that kamikaze attack with the quad! What's left of that? LOL
Perhaps a flying tank dog fight??? or at least have the tank soot while flying??? Love you guys!! Keep it up!! 🛩
YES! flying tanks attacking aircraft on the ground! PAYBACK BABY!!!
Maybe a B-29?
finally my favorite bomber got some attention
That was awesome!! Yes, XL it!
how do you make it because that well be good for the airsoft game
DEFINITELY need a B-25 XL!!
BTW - That golf course must have a pond somewhere? Have you thought about building a scale Spruce Goose out of foam? That might be a cool project....
Hey, have you thought about trying to do a model version of the US' "Rapid Dragon" system that you drop out of a cargo plane? It parachutes and launches multiple rockets downwards.
Tank dog fighting seems like a lot of fun!
flying tanks with laser tag equipment installed 💥😊
These videos are so funny. You should use a fpv camera for aiming on the ground. They used advanced equipment to not waste every drop already in WW2.
I love that. That was epic!
I am so jealous of Josh and the crew! In high school I never considered that I could make a living crashing model airplanes!!! 🤣😂
do you know where they flying this plane? the place name?
@@whitemonk369 No sorry I do not.
That was freaking awesome
Hi FliteTest! Would be awesome if you could build a Canadair CL-415 (those big yellow and red firefighter planes) you guys are so awesome thank you for all your content.
Yes I wanna see the tanks fly and get their revenge 😂🤣😂🤣great
Josh Firstly you need to try Bomb Drop from POV flight. Secondly I think I would love to see the tanks fly again.
Very entertaining. Love the bombs.
i saw what looked like a target mowed in the grass. I am thinking you guys have a bombing raid (using your favorite bombers in a somewhat formation) and see how acurate it is with the bombs you dropped in this video
they say there are no dumb questions, but they're wrong, 9:53 is clearly a dumb question
A flying tank battle would be awesome! 👍
"HANS TAKE COVER BEHIND THAT BLADE OF GRASS!!!"
Dog fights with the smaller tanks, full on Carnage!!!!
Use the A36 or Stuka to dive bomb the tanks. Also a bomb release to drop 2 at a time instead of all at once, give you more chances. Fun video.
Have you guys tried Tannerite yet for more explosive and legal fun?
Yes Dave, as an aeronautical engineer I do understand. Where did you get that airfoil T-shirt? I have to get one.
It's called a ramset and it's the funnest tool ever!
I could just imagine the police interrogating them and asking if they’ve ever made a numb before. They would have to say yes lol 😂
Excelente trabajo y muy divertido.
Podrían realizar otro intento con las bombas sobre los tanques?
Muchas gracias
Please do a rc naval battle with cannons I love this
Have you made a video equipped smart bomb?
