It's not a bird, a plane, a drone, or a quadcopter.. It's a NUTBALL. Alex and Stefan scratchbuilt a flying RC NUTBALL and took it for it's maiden voyage! This plane is crazy and can built out of $1 worth of foamboard. Add a Power Pack B and this nutty ball is ready to fly!

Man i missed these "silly fooling/goofing around" videos where the "globination"of the glue is discussed and we all having a great time!
i agree
Hope we will get some more of these :)
indeed my friend indeed if they don't make those videos I will come
in their dream as a ghost (yea one more thing how do ghost sound like is it yoohoo or like yoo yoo yoo hahaaa)
yesterday I watched a bunch of their VLOG videos and there I found the fooling and goofing. It's very hard to find it in the episodes anymore.. thank you for the vlog, Alex!
true the vlogs are still a bit more loose material :)
"The globulations of the glue, just synchronize everything together." - Totally needs to be the next Flite Test T-shirt!
Synchronized Globulation Team T-shirts in the store. (I'd buy one)
Daniel Sponholz haha I'm down my dude... I'll check on that ;)
Put it on a shirt!
poetry...lol...
I'd rather have a "100 mile an hour fastball donut" t-shirt
"going for the tail touch" then proceeds to slam directly into the pole...Stefan your the greatest lol
decide? I don't think that decision tree even took root :) That's just Stefan being a goof. (Which is why we love him)
And this is why the Nutball is my favourite plane. You fly it like it costs $5 because it literally does (the replaceable stuff).
It is just so much fun to fly. Glad you guys got a Nutball out again as the original videos on the Nutball on 2S do not do it justice. I fly mine of 3S and it is a perfect power setup for this plane.
Theres a nice micro one on RCGroups that someone recently posted.
now this reminds me of the old days of flitetest .nice one guys , never had such a bigger laughing in my life .lol
great stuff .cheers from the uk
"He continues to make us look bad. That's going to be a problem" Watch your back Ian, watch your back.
Now there was a return to your roots... I was already an FT fan when the first swappables were introduced, and although I never built a Nutball I did make an FT Flyer, and it was one of my first RC planes. I've built many FT designs since, and have added several foamies and balsa builds to the fleet, but it was FT during the early Nutball era that got me in the air. Bravo, chaps.
That was AWESOME!!!! Get them to fly a FT Flyer next. Best vlog post about FT planes in a while. Loved it.
Watching you guys have a great time and just continue to top each other's laughter with some other sort of funny maneuver really made my day. I have never flown anything but I want one of these first now.
Stephen flew my UMX F-16 at flitefest west and he was GREAT at it! Keep it up, Stephen!!!
Chris Sanchez hey man!! Dude loved it fantastic! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for letting me fly it bud! ;) you da man!
you guys are hilarious !!!! and the great thing is that when you meet them in person ... their personalities are exactly the same ... on or off camera ... keep it up guys !!!
An entire VLOG on the goofy old Nutball! You guys are Nutballs... and I mean that in the best possible way! :D Priceless.
Thanks for the laughs! We really enjoy seeing you play with your planes the way we do. 👍🏻
If I could in person. I would shake your hand and sincerely thank you for that video. Just watching it made my day. I took my mind off the pain I've been having. Thank you. Side note. I started watching quad vids from mr steel and the others from Atlanta but I really enjoy vids that push the norms like this.
It is funny to me that this video just came out. I built a nutball randomly last week. I didn't have any reason other than boredom, and I had a sheet of foam board and components. I remember how fun all the easy 1 sheet swappables are and from time to time I'll build one. Glad to see you guys just doing the same thing.
You all goofing around made my day. Thanks as always FliteTest!
When other would feel sad about a crash, you just celebrate it. :)
Always fun to watch!
At last i flew my 4 chan ft Storch with no mixing today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no crashes i flew 3 times then it got rly rly rly windy so i came in nothing got broke today!!!!! i;m so happy i cant even tell you guys!!! i CAN fly now yay!!!!!
whats WITH the Wall of RedBell that's all so crazy, this video aRe so relAxing and fun to watch , keep making them pls
Dang Alex, nice job hucking the nutball! I never thought I'd see one of those doing a torque roll.
The globulations of the glue synchronize everything. Alex.
I'm watching Flite Test in the middle of a lake right now. Love it. Never thought I would be doing this.
theStigFPV dang dude even Flitetest hasn't done that..:)
FliteTest only regret, no Sea Duck:(
SEA DUCK woould be be LEGIT in that moment! ;) ha Hope all is well liam!
Thanks! Have a great day guys.
4:24 Sweet torque roll Alex!
7:38 That right there proves this plane is a real keeper guys LOL!
11:59 ROFL!!!!!!!!
A very wonderful v-log!
Nothing makes me want to go fly more than watching you guys having a good time and burning some batteries.
I don't know if you can even call it a plane but let me tell you: This looks like so much fun, even though it flies so awkwardly.
I would have loved to see a short punchout on the throttle. That would have been amazing.
Keep it up guys, I love the random stuff between the normal episodes ;)
i was flying my nutball in my backyard, right before i came in to see the vlog!! what a coincidence!!!!!!!
"It's just a matter of cutting the throttle, not dropping the transmitter and grabbing it like a hot pizza right out of the oven." FT top flying tip, May 2017. ^_^
Also a good contender for the next FT t-shirt... ;-)
Thank you guys for the smiles and laughter, much appreciated :-)
Nutball 3D competitions totally need to be a thing... I'm sure Alex would win if he was allowed to participate though, haha
I've said it before and I'll say it again. These are some happy, happy people... XD
the vlogs are getting better and better. it's like watching the oooold flitetest again. the current episodes feel a little bit sterile. I'm not complaining, its ok as long as we have the vlog, just saying. just 3 people having fun doing silly stuff, people flying for the first time... Ian is great and very likeable, Stefan is like a ball of awesomeness and fun whatever he does, Alex is great, you can feel the fun he's having. Silliness, fun and nothing more. thats what I missed about FT. I still love the episodes but they feel more like a television show nowadays (to me). the vlog gives me the feeling of being part of the family and being there with you, I just sit here infront of my pc and smile. thank you for starting vlogging Alex!! dont stop! maybe at VLOG9000. greetings from Poland!
Do a fpv on a nutball, please!!!!
You guys having fun like this is what flite test is all about.. love it :) made my day :)
I love my Nutball! it was a trainer for me, second built plane after Mini Trainer and it flies any 3s battery I put on it - from 1000 to 2200 mAh.
"And it flies, just like this." Good stuff guys. Thanks a lot for the belly laughs!.
This vid featured a bunch of nutballs. You proved that applying enough power can make anything fly, such as cinder blocks, microwaves, toasters, and turkeys. Oh, that's right. you've already done all that. Keep up the fun work.
Thanks for the belly laughs guys!
The last 3 weeks have been like one very long bad day.
Great video, having fun is the name of the game... Its so nice to see a nutball being enjoyed . NOTE... its very important that the COG should be set at 25% back on the circle, your version looks to be tail heavy, when tail heavy the rear end will tend to drop and sensitivity will become an issue.. however even when set poorly it can be flown.. The popular nutball thread on rcgroups is now at 1053 pages long, its definitely one of those models that will always put a smile on your face... cheap, easy, and fun...
this was the first design i made of yours, my first flying experience. traumatized me XD
You guys should do a Nut BAll fest with everyone of the shop, even The Flite Test first Lady, would be awesome!!!!
I lol'd the whole video, Stephan & Alex = Ren & Stimpy. That's a good thing guy's! 😁
Love you guys thanks for inspiring me to get into the hobby. Love you guys sooo much
That is the most horrifically terrible flying apparatus I have witnessed since 1878.
i dunno.. i built a flying pig which was basically the same thing years ago as a kid... heavy as hell cus it was made out of plywood
With the right dihedral and CG they actually 'fly' pretty well, in that they can be very stable, agile and predictable. They certainly don't fly like a plane though.

Okay, you've got me there. I should have said they don't fly like 'conventional' planes.

The thing I loved about mine was the ability to easily do zero-length landings. I could take off and land from a tiny patch of grass in front of my house.
that's because it was not set up correctly...
Hilarious, glad y'all are having fun. It's a little windy here, and watching this was a good laugh.
And now that looked like a lot of fun.
This reminds me of a "flying lawnmower" a friend of mine built, oh so many years ago. As I recall he was able to get it to fly - but I could be wrong. That was 30 or 40 years ago and I've slept a LOT since then!
This is like with the polystyrene disks you get pizzas on, if you put a clothes peg on the front you can throw it and it'll glide like a paper aeroplane.
I declare you guys are totally bonkers!!! Stephan's laugh slays me :). Keep up the madness boys!
“do a tail touch!”
BAM!!
Like the hair cut Alex. Show the newbies how it's d..... oh.... Ian is good.
love the pole ding! nutball for president!
I'm the original designer of what is called the Nut Ball, back in 2004. It was meant as a stepping stone along disc flight formats, and to me, a foot note along developing many lines. I had no idea years later it became such a cult favorite. I have certainly since done much better, much better, and these are not so temperamental. It's original name was nicknamed the flying Potato Chip for the record.
I loved this one!!! So much fun!! Thank you guys!
that just made my whole day! thank you guys so much!
i was about to stop watching flitetest to fly my hubsan x4 v2 when i saw this video, i had to watch it!
That was cool. I have 2 of those Nutball kits laying around here to get going. Get them checked out on the Delta!
1:36 Well at least you didn't break anything Stef LOL!
now here's a challenge for you,
make a cinder block fly using tungsten wings and frame
good luck (you will need a miracle)
Congrats on 700k I'll miss being responded to but I'll be proud mowing I've bin here from when you reviewed well the sewed reviewed the phantom 2
OH YEAAH IM LOVING THIS PARYYY yeaaah ... I love you guys.
I guess this is the first "Fly as Hard as You Can" challenge for fixed wing; featuring the granddaddy of scratch built DTFB planes, the nutball.
can't wait for flite fest east 😃😃😃😃😃
"it doesn't eat grass" - Alex
Try building V-173 "Flying pancake". I've only seen a couple of videos of RC models of it.
ending was great
What kind of batteries to cows eat for the most power.
Turnigy Grassine.
TJ on the rampage
U should do another one of these but try turning off propeller in mid air and let it free fall then turn it back on at like 5 ft
One of my favorite plans
Awesome flyer looks like a lot of fun goofy flying is cool
I have a nutball that is also black and it flies with a .049 cox engine
7:42 -- Face of pure joy. XD
Definitely my biggest smile all day!
My experience with the many many nut balls I have built (probably 8 or 10 at this point) has been mostly like Stefan’s. I finally started having success when I built a 30 incher. Mine all seem to be too heavy and really tail heavy.
hey Alex the gobbleasions of the glue will make it synchronize-- what the??? definition please!!
So much fun guys, best one I've seen. =D
Fun, fun, fun!, I smiled, giggled, and laughed out loud ;)
I doubt ill be heard but hey its worth a shot, i miss the old flite test, dont get me wrong i love what youre doing now but its just what happened to all the fun stuff like making a freakin toaster fly ya know.
Sorry DolphinSausages.. more big builds coming your way soon DolphinSausages!
One day you should release a whole vlog in slow-mo. 😉
Have you guys done any videos about controllers or transmitters? i know its not as glamours as doing the other stuff but it would help people like me out a lot. as a total novice looking to get going in this i have no clue what to buy?
That looks so fun!
Need nutball fpv!
I ALWAYS watch every episode until the very end! You guys are funny!
You guys are awesome!😅😂😂😂
its nice you guy are having fun .. I built one its so crazy an fun ..
😂😂😂😂 This is the old flight test I'm missing!
this thing is amazing
Well, I'm gonna make a nutball tomorrow, gotta try this for myself
Built it yesterday, flew it today, can 100% recommend it's as fun as it looks
I already had the electronics, so all it took was a single sheet of foam ($1). I also made long-lasting templates from the plans onto poster board($1), but that's not required. I'd say the plane with battery is worth $50 (excluding the radio transmitter)
Another great video creating awesome moment ! Thanks you very much guys, you make me so glad thanks to your channel ;)
LOOKS LIKE A AWSOME UFO GREAT JOB
can we have stefans laugh in every video from now on....
Nutballs are like someone just stuck a prop on a leaf.
Wolv pretty much 😂
loving the music!
Thank you for noting the music artist. But...
Please please please please please also include the song title.
you guys made my day. awesome video
alex flies it like a god
Bwahaha, that nutball flies like a plastic bag in a tornado
the old flying flapjack nice
This was an awesome vlog episode!
note...did you check the balance ? was never answered, Stephan was too busy getting the controls going in the correct direction...With the COG set at 25% on the circle the Nutball will fly like any normal plane.. only its easier than most.. its not touchy at all But like all planes too much power and speed will make the controls have more effect..Fly with a 3s lipo and larger props, at lower throttle settings, for a slow n easy flight..Stable slow flight, harriers, nose held high, is where a nutball excels .. Highly recommended the nutball is always fun because it is both aerobatic and stable at the same time..
