Should add some wing tip wheels that drop off in flight, just like the U-2 Spy Plane! The Pseudo-Rivets was a nice touch!
True
we will send you an award...
U-2 draGRUn lady
They do something similar to Flugtag in Japan called Bird Man Rally. The difference is that all the teams are actually serious. No silly parade floats falling off a cliff and silly dances. Also it's really impressive. They have both gliders and pedal-powered planes. The air time for the gliders is insane, like usually more than a minute.
nice! i gotta check that out.
The glide rates they achieve in that competition are hard to believe.
@@my_dear_friend_ I love when they're like 10 cm above the water, and show no signs of descending. They just keep going, losing like a cm per hundred meters flown.
@@NonEuclideanTacoCannonground effect in action it's basically floating on a bubble of high pressure air
Learn something new
I would buy covering film if you guys supply it
You should add some vortex generators to the leading edge of the wings because they make a high speed vortex on the top of the wing which makes a low pressure zone on the top of the wing increasing lift at really low speeds. You could also add some wing fences to "focus" the the air flow over and under the wings and keep the air from moving outboard. Also some of the things ive said might not be true cuz i am only 12 and only know this information from google
You guys did an amazing job on that build I was part of the broadcast team for the Flugtag and got to see that bad boy in person.
I totally missed that it started at noon and was only a few hours long. I live less than an hour away and was going to come. Ugh... It looked like a lot of fun. Turn out looked pretty good also from what I could see in videos. Lots of people on boats and on the bridge.
I didn't realise it had already flown! where could I get the footage?
@@horndog252 There’s already some TH-cam videos posted up. Just search for it and a few should pop up for ya!
@@horndog252 it will be airing on the 19th I believe on Red Bull, and other places.
@@VictoryAviation there was a really great turn out there and a lot of people and it was a great show.
LESS TALKING MORE FLYING. I MISS THE OLD DAYS....😢
Oh no! Ditch the wheels and get it on a stand! This is the only way it will work!!! The stand, as it dumps off of the platform, acts like an upside-down high-star, flinging the plane off. That is how that B-25 did so well! It's an added fling at the end that propels the craft off and to flying speed. Pushing won't get it fast enough!
Too late
Agreed, in fact you could improve on the design of that B-25 launch dolly by making it become a trebuchet as it falls off the edge. The four guys pushing it need to be at the front, so when they fall off the edge, their combined weight hanging on to a sturdy handle or even connected harness contributes to the launch velocity. Get the 4 biggest heaviest guys you can!!
I'd love to see you bring covering film to the store. Would certainly help with larger plane projects.
It's just a matter of time for them to build a silver 4m boeing 747
So I know you guys are just as much for fun as actually trying to score in the Flugtag, but the main aerodynamic mistake I've seen there is your leading edge.
While the leading edge radius is probably slightly below optimum for your speed range, the fact that you don't have any leading edge sheeting means most of your wing has no real section and will probably stall straight off the ramp, which is unfortunate .
OK YES!!! Please bring in more of that film. Having something like this in the flite test store would be amazing, providing that final step between foam board and Balsa construction. Learning to cover is a necessity for most balsa builds and being able to learn on something as forgiving and easily made as the flite test foam board sheets would be a God send.
Definitely carry it!! The whole 3d print, ARF and foam plane thing has ruined building light, strong and good flying craft and I see many cases where blending old spar covering with modern building materials could greatly improve flight time/efficiency. Durability lower weight etc.
Been seeing this channel grow for over 8 years now 🙂. It's amazing how you are all still just as happy and entertaining as you always were
these guys inspired me to become an engineer, ive been watching them since i was about 12, im 18 now and i start my undergraduates in aeronautical engineering next month. i dont know where i would be if i didnt start watching them
Thank you for making it possible!
Congratulations @tomo! Wish you all the best and thank you for being an inspiration to so many. :-)
@@FliteTestHello,I been subscribed since I made this chabnel,but watchd you 1 year before you made it.
I love your contet,especaly that Battelship video!
So yea,if you are taking sugestions,will you also build modern day fightergets as exsmaple mig-21,mig-31,F-22 raptor and F/A-18 Superhornet.
This are phew I would like to see,but it is your choice to build what you want,I was only sugesting.
Love your work and my end messeg is,keep going,your content is so high qvuality,this is an youtube gem!
Please add the covering material. Really need the same color you guys are using. Also how did you guys put on the rivets?
I saw you guys out there it was pretty cool. I wish there hadn't been such a strong tail wind
You were there in person!?! Damn I had no idea. I live less than an hour away and missed the event because I thought it was going to go on longer. I absolutely would have come out just to say hi if nothing else. I know Kyle Newsom was out there getting footage.
@@VictoryAviation It was pretty cool. Not sure it was worth a 15 hour round trip in my Comanche in this heat) but still very cool. I will have a video about it next Sunday.
@@JustPlaneSilly Yaaaaah, I watched a 15 min video someone put together of all the attempts. I was really surprised there wasn’t much flying of anything going on. A bit of a tailwind on craft like those would make a huge difference.
I won’t lie, I would definitely have been a bit disappointed if I’d flown that far to see it. Sorry bud 😕 If you’re still around the area, you could go to the National Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AF Base though! I’ve been living here for a little over a year for helicopter school and still haven’t been. I’ve never heard anything but good things about it.
@@VictoryAviation Its okay, I am building hours so it was a great excuse to go. 12 hours round trip!
Why people don't use 60fps in their videos is beond me...🤔
If it works, come to the UK with it and enter the Birdman comps
I'd go with a canard or tandem wing design. Get that front wing in ground effect ASAP to get the nose up
How are you planning on getting it up to flight speed? In the best performance I've seen the team used a set of large wheels with a gearing system to multiply their running speed to achieve a high flight speed. They blew everyone else away so not sure if the rules were changed to disallow this. You can have the best aerodynamic design but If you do not get to speed you will stall right off the runway and fall to the water. Aircraft carriers use a catapult for a reason.
yeah, spoiler, it didn't fly at all, it plunged.
Totally agree. None of the contestants got very good speed. Barely saw more than a 1 to 1 glide ratio from all the entries.
There was a large gust of wind that continued through launch in the same direction as the launch. They took off downwind at the worst possible moment, so achieving even 50 feet was not easy. Not sure why Red Bull set up the barge that way. Everyone had to take off downwind.
Too bad you won't have enough initial velocity...
This did not fly so well. It fell well though. ;)
Your preflight showmanship and dance must have blown the competition out of the water to still win overall first! Looking forward to seeing that entire performance on your channel. Let's celebrate what worked!
It did go 34 Feet, it wasn't terrible..
th-cam.com/video/rAaAgrYEvnk/w-d-xo.html
You should make another plane like that and put one of those big engines you have, even if it's just to fly inside the ground effect. but it would be cool.
3:10 please harden your seatbelts, we are having a turbulence.
I saw it live, your plane was definitely the most engineered, flew pretty good too.
it already happened? do you know if its on YT somewhere?
@@_AndromedaGalaxy_ look up cincinnati flugtag, yeah it was yesterday.
@@_AndromedaGalaxy_ don't get your hopes up too much though.
@@_AndromedaGalaxy_ th-cam.com/video/kkO2RxfATFY/w-d-xo.html last plane to go.
@@Sl4yerkid heard they got first overall but only went 39ft and someone else did 54ft.
As long as you dont get between the water and that control stick, you should be good 😅
I would absolutely love to see that film covering on the store
Yes, to covering!!
Please carry covering film!! I've had a really hard time with all the colors I want being backordered and or waiting forever for the shipping!!
YES PLEASE! bring covering material into the store.
Next year....try to figure out some way to increase speed on "runway". Its like trying to get a 737 airborne in 200 yards.
Sadly launch mechanisms are all prohibited. Speed is definitely critical and even more challenging with a downwind. But we will give it 100%
I'm in for the covering material. I'll order when it hits the store.
Make this design available or plans at least to make an RC version! Good luck on your endeavors nonetheless!
Would totally be interested in this covering for design tests!
One of the most realistic looking pilot I've seen your planes........ :^P
YES PLEASE CARRY THE COVERING!!
Please! I have been searching for covering material for months and months for something reasonable. Absolutely awesome design I'm sure yall are going to win!
I would be down to have this covering in the DIY Section
The US doesn't carry much of anything for serious DIY or hobbyists/amateur builders. Its all paint by numbers arts and crafts.
The covering in the store would be great
What I don't get is why a biplane? I have done a lot cheap foamie conversions, ft stuff and did a biplane and my research said they aren't efficient? Great project and love the channel.
Cool film, made me want y'all to check out the inflatable aircraft concept.
USAF developed a self rescue inflatable aircraft in the 50s....
absolut great crew and perfect work💯.....thumbs up and greetings from Germany👍👍
Wait wait wait... I'm confused right off the bat. 1:30. Covering film is "really not carried much in America"? I've been using Ultracote and Monokote since like 1989. What do you mean?
"You're an editor"
No you're an editor! I'm a viewer! 😂😂😂
(Context)at around 6 minutes and a little bit before it says "You're an editor" at the bottom of the screen
Your design has MASSIVE drag. Square 90 degree trailing edges have huge drag. Slant the wings and scallop the trailing edges.
He's going to have to shave his head to seal the deal as Gru. Need a short person to be the minion to clinch the deal. Im going to expect a bald head.
Just watched the Cincinnati attempt from a cell phone video. I think you forgot something: pilot weight and what it does to the wing loading. Pilot weight, to scale, should be added to model prototypes. My background is in model rocketry (Estes). I had to make the adjustments to get the machines the build the R&D concepts.
Guys, I just saw a video of your flight at Flugtag from another TH-camr. Looking forward to your video. Looks like the flight wasn't as great as I hoped for. Looks like your launch speed was too slow, or you had tail wind or bad downdrafts or something. Anyway, looks like it was fun! And congrats with the overall win, even though someone beat your distance.
If you can to this video to see flying, just skip it, nothing happens👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
10+ knots of tailwind in Cinci when they launched. The planners of the event did a poor job facing the platform east. Flite test coulda been epic!
Basically you need a plane that will fly ( or guide) at 10mph for a good distance.
Interesting .
Would be nice if you could put some electric fans on it . Small batteries hi powered draw for a short time. Yup plenty of distance then lol.
Hmmmm
I wouldn't have gone with fixed wheels, I'd have gone with a 'tailwheel' dolly that as it dropped off the edge acted like a throwing stick / lever arm (attached / pivoting to the plane at the 'tailwheel' of the triangular dolly [two main wheels at the forward of the dolly under the CG]) to push the flutag to higher airspeed to generate lift.
Why the overarm control? Surely a light-weight pulley could have routed the control to the joystick or a lever in front of the pilot. It could also reverse the control, so a forward push sends the nose down and pulling back raises it.
I really have trouble finding coverings that aren't a tiny 2m roll for pretty expensive. I've been looking at polyester fabric coverings with dope that's used for stretching full-scale aircraft wings, saw a fella make a video of it. Definitely I'd be interested in a north-american supplier of coverings that are cheaper.
I won’t be building craft as large as yours but I can see a definite use for the metallic like sheeting for my RC planes. If you can provide it at a cost lower than amazon then I would gladly purchase it from you instead.
Fifty years ago there were alll sorts of film choices. I remember everbody using Monokote or similar as we transitioned from tissue and dope...the good old days where you got stoned finishing your balsa plane!!
Well it was a good attempt guys, shame it seemed to be in a stalled condition the moment the plane left the platform. Others have used higher launch cradle devices with catapults, I suggest you use a similar concept next time. ...and take a stick with a ribbon with you to check the wind at launch, that extra 2 knots of wind gust the right way at the right time could change your distance from 2 feet to 200 feet. Eagerly awaiting your debrief of the flight.
I have a few projects that I need a covering film for! Can't find it in the US for a justifiable price.
The position of the pilot. Insures death or injury. In any malfunction event ? Kind of like mounting the drivers seat on your car to the front bumper.
In 1990 at work we were given access to a cnc pcb (printed circuit board ) router. It was so handy for making accurate tooling for our aerospace solar mirror project.
Soo, did Stefan fatten himself out to be excluded from designated "test weight" nomination? 😅😅😅
put the stick between the legs and use pulleys to route the control cable.
Pulling down on a lever is not intuitive. Pull back to go up, push forward to go down. Logical and easy to learn.
What did I miss? They were so gob smacked by the covering in the beginning, is this something new? Iron on covering has been around for quite some time, feel like I missed something.
Please bring on the film! I've had an idea for a disposable chopsticks frame for a while now!
If you don’t some kind of catapult, I foresee diving head down upon exiting the edge of the ramp. There seemed to be nothing holding the pilot up.
Hubby noticed your EAA '23 shirt! We live in Oshkosh 😊
Mens ....that piece of s$:&# look great . I can smell the goal. Good luck.
Meeting you guys was such an enjoyment! Glad I could save the wing for you guys! Such a fantastic day! you're genuine enjoyment for all of us competitors was simply amazing! Best of luck in all of your future endeavors! Ill come up and see that golf course sometime!
Please do carry the covering material. Ive used some old covering rolls I had from back in the day on some of my planes and it works really well.
It would be AMAZING if you could build a big Ekranoplane!!
Should call it “Flight Watch us Build Stuff” because we didn’t get any testing
Look up the DecoLiner. That is what the character was driving but it exists in real life.
Can runners / people jump off the platform holding lines to convert their energy into forward motion of the aircraft.
YES! Please carry that shrink covering film!
You all have to make a second one same size etc and turn it in to a rc plane you could probably make it fly at like 10mph LOL
Flite test thank you! For the last ten years, it brought me a new hobby and still you guys come up with content that's interesting, like this red bull flugtag challenge.
And the launch vehicle with ramped slingshot to give you extra height and speed on launch?
I really hope that elevator lever doesn't bite you all in the butt. All it's going to take is just a brief second pushing up to put the whole thing in the drink.
isn't that Top Flite Monokote? I used it on my RC planes back in the 70's.
PLEASE carry that film covering in your store.
Would love to see some different coverings on the the ft store. Maybe even something like so-lite, currently you gotta buy it from europe
Get your pilot a couple of lessons in a glider. All that hard work and lack of any piloting skills other than parachute wrecks it all.
Love your stuff but the embedded commercials are very irritating.
Is that the crazy milk shake from that cartoon on comedy central? with Meat Wadd and Fries
Dude so has to say "Liiiight Buuuulb!" in the voice when he launches!!!!
Just gonna say, I think Josh looks more Dr. Nefario than minion...
Straight up using Just Vlad video clip for 3d printer
You guys should try to create an RC fire helicopter that actually drops water.
I would have done a off white/tan color and done the same name as the Voisin Farman I as this is what the Glider looks like.
Very large paper cup and a hang glider?
The film would be a great product.
Nice job fellas . This means I have a chance too - - - - - will post a photo in the not too distant future !
Now you just need a Bald cap and a witch's nose painted skin tone and you have Gru
It looks like your dad built the pinewood derby entry instead of you in the 4th grade.
Dear flight test can you make and fly the Curtis xp 55
Cool.
. Awesome again. Crash helmet required.
With how heavy that lever looks, the could have made a normal stick out of different materials
Dave would kill working a carnival guess your weight
An easier cheaper source of covering film would be very welcome
Talk about edging just watched yalls run
NOT A GOOD LEVER FOR ELEVATOR. IF HE FALLS OUT AHEAD OF THE PLANE< IT WILL IMPALE HIM. MAKE A DIFFERENT CONTROL ROD. PLEEEEASE.
Your iron giant hasn't taken flight yet. What gives guys ?
