Just found your channel the other day, and since all my work is foam and hot glue, my son and I made a sparrow chuck glider in a couple of hours with stuff we had around the house. When I said goodnight, he told me I was a "better than normal dad" because I made the plane with him. Just had to say thanks for the experience and fantastic plans. Now off to buy a stack of foamboard........
Getting this, not for me, but to build as a chuck glider for the kid next door. you guys opened the wonder of rc flight for me, now I will pay forward.
Really nice project, and idea guys!. Family project Also can you turn the music down a bit please on your next video, thanks the first two are loud and I cant focus on what your saying 7:28 sound levels a bit better here, but not like your other videos Flying 8-Foot A-10 Warthog @ 11:00 is about right ... just trying to help All the best
Thank you for incorporating the old school Flitetest music in with the new videos. I lOVE it! I don't know what it is, but it makes the videos feel more FliteTesty. Lol
My 12 year old son and I built the LongEZ as a chuck glider and were super excited to fly it. We spent 3-4 hours building it from scratch over 2 days. After completing it we immediately went outside to fly. It flew great! We managed to fly it about 4 times before the front wing broke off. With a little tape we were back in the air for about 10 more flights before the other front wing broke off. The wings are now hot glued and reinforced with tape. It still flies great!! I would suggest that the design be modified to allow a replacable front wing since the plane is a belly lander it tends to take all of the punishment. Our next LongEZ will be modified so we can replace the wing.
A well trimmed Canard makes an excellent first airplane because they essentially never stall the main wing when the CG is set just a bit forward. That means you never lose roll or yaw control. The forward surface stalls and that drops the nose, preventing the main wing from stalling.
Looks like you guys got the RC version flying really well. I love that it can be built as a chucker or RC and that it's only one sheet of foam! Winner winner chicken dinner. Congrats Alex on your first RC airplane kit. Can't wait to build and fly one. What is the ETA on the new FT Radial motors?
Hey Dan, thanks for the plans on this! I made it with my 4-year old daughter as a chuck glider and she loves it! Quick note on the plans though: 1. For the chuck glider option where the battery pack is not needed, I trimmed mine to cover the back of the fuselage to compete the look and not have an open area. An idea to add this (as a few blue/green lines on the battery pack) in a future amendment to the plans? 2. "Stabilizer" is spelt incorrectly! 😆 Love what you guys do! Keep it up!!!
In one night you have convinced me to try to build an airplane out of a folder and some cardboard slivers. I might say the plane isn't pretty BUT she glides off of my works roof top for very long time!! I love the DIY print outs you guys have offered us! Needless to say I have printed off some plans and im off to the Dollar tree and my daughters and I will be spending the weekend building a few planes!!! Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Man, I woke up this morning swearing it was already Sunday. Last night I built my first little foam board plane and I can't wait to try to build this LongEZ next!
tripalong more like “obeys the laws of aerodynamics/physics” because gravity states that anything that has mass has an attraction, so I guess, technically the flite test guys were right 😆 but it made me think twice too!
Grackle FPV Would the flitetest guys have really been right in saying that it “defied gravity”? Laws of aerodynamics/physics tend to be based on gravity anyway, and no matter the plane’s direction, gravity is acting upon it. Attraction most certainly does not equal movement, especially when a something like lift is counteracting it.
Been watching this channel for about 4 or 5 years now. Love how you've grown and your team. Love you guys, wishing you all the best from Trinidad and Tobago.
Great great design and do you know what is greater? It's how you making it easy and fun for others to indulge in some outdoor activities, flight test ... you rock!
When I was in training for my Private Pilot's license, my instructor asked me, "What control actually turns the airplane?", I thought about it since that had never been covered in my training, after thinking about it for a few seconds I answered "The elevator" he responded absolutely right! The ailerons tilt the wings, then the application of elevator actually turns the plane.
I love it! Sweet flying plane. Don't forget that balsa chuck gliders are also very easy to build and fly so well that even from a simple hand launch, they can float away out of sight in a thermal. Speaking of which, a balsa Long Ez would be epic!
You should throw some shade toward the man - Burt Rutan. Burt built the full size, then Josh scaled it down to a chuck glider, then Alex modified it to RC. Awesome video, guys. Keep it up!
This looks fun!I love your channel I just got into the hobby a couple months ago but I have not flew a rc plane yet so I am saving my money to buy one and make one!Thank you for all the help! Edit:Thank you flite test I have never been hearted before so I am very happy cheers!
The Boulton Paul P.100 was a design for a tail first fighter produced in response to an Air Ministry specification for a manoeuvrable fighter. Specification F.6/42 called for a fighter with a high rate of climb (4,500ft/ min to 20,000ft), good acceleration and good manoeuvrability. Boulton Paul's first design was the P.98, a tail first pusher that was judged to be over-weight. This was followed by the P.101, a staggered biplane with cantilevered wings and the cannon carried within the spats for non-retractable main wheels. After both of these projects were rejected by the Air Ministry, Boulton Paul submitted two designs with lower project numbers. The P.100 was another advanced design. It was a tail-first aircraft, with shoulder mounted canard wings just behind the cockpit and low mounted swept back main wings near the rear of the aircraft. The vertical tail surfaces and rudders were at the tip of the swept back wings. The pilot sat in the nose, with a good view from his all round vision canopy. The P.100 had a tricycle undercarriage. In case of emergency the pilot escaped from the aircraft by jettisoning part of the lower forward fuselage and dropping down out of the aircraft. The P.100 was to be armed with either one 47mm cannon, with a 20mm cannon on either side, two 20mm cannon with a 40mm cannon on either side, or four 20mm cannon. The P.100 was expected to have a top speed of 298mph at 17,000ft and 435mph at 18,000ft. In September 1942 all of the designs submitted to F.6/42 were examined at the RAE, and all of the Boulton Paul designs were dismissed for being too futuristic. VIA FLIGHTSOM.COM FS2002/FS2004 Boulton Paul P.100. This was an unbuilt project for a ground-attack aircraft to a draft Air Ministry specification (unnumbered) of March 1942. The P100 was the most advanced and unorthodox of the many designs the aircraft industry responded with. It had a canard - pusher layout to give the pilot the best possible view and would have had an armament of 40mm and 20mm cannons along with bombs and rockets. Two kinds of models (clean / with missile) are included. By Kazunori Ito. www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=73355893&page=35
you guys are so cool i wish roto riot did for fpv drones even just a little bit of what you guys do. this will be me and my sons next project. thank you
I really REALLY RESPECT how MissionStatement kinda set video up and glad to hear it I will do what I can to Help complete that U DONT HEAR ENOUGH OF HOW THIS HOBBY CAN BE A FAMILY ACTIVEITY
A possibly very good modification would be using KF airfoils for wings, canards and stabilizers. I will give it a try when I get some depron. Good job guys. I like what you are trying to do.
Sweet. Someone with more knowledge than me (or you guys +FliteTest !) should design an EDF version with an intake on each side like the F4 phantom! Might be a simpler beginner EDF
Saw quite a few requests for interesting aircraft builds, any chance of other Rutan designs, like the Quickee. Would be a very unique challenge. Built one from a St Croix model kit and flies surprisingly well as long as the cg is on par.
In 83 my dad bought me a balsa wood plane with a gas engine. I had to wait several years before he would allow me to build it, while making the wings I cut a piece 1/4 inch too short and it made it so I couldn’t put the wing ends on. He gave up on the build at that point. I built the remainder of the plane myself. Installed the engine and silk and doped it. I never flew it. After storing it around for around a decade I gave it away. I think I’ll stick with paper planes.
Alex / JB - very Kool vid - hopefully this will spawn more new starters into the hobby. And globally we need more to be able to have a voice and keep flying. Feet on the ground, heads to the sky.
I think it would be really cool if they built the command cruiser from Ace Combat 6. There’s opportunity for fun there, as well as sponsorships from the creators of Ace Combat. Even without the sponsors though, the build would be a lot of fun. The cruiser itself reminds me of the kraken, but with a runway and a more “stingray” sort of look to it. Just an idea; one that I haven’t seen anyone do before.
Have you thought about using elastic bands to power a prop for something like this? I remember when I was a child my dad brought home a couple of super simple balsa wood planes with elastic powered props. Might be something fun to try. Perhaps get a little extra distance out of the glider?
it's perfect for my newphew.(2 yrs old) i gave him a $2 dallor store glider...He played with it for a week until it broke. He'll love it , if build him models once a week.lol Another aviator in the family...

Thanks Alex!
Love your videos Lost Wax, good to see you here :D
@@FliteTest how do you make the alerons (spelling?) And the elevators?
@@guyincognito3530 it is spelt elevons
False advertisement! The glider is actually $1.25! Counting the nose ballast.
Hahah :p great observation mate
Unless you use blue tack
or tear the quarter off when you crash and burn
0.25 refundable!
Haha... No, because you still have the quarter :)
Give it 5 years and Flite test will be the biggest RC platform in the world.

At least diy planes
Well, it's been 2 years.

Horace Saffore you rock!
If you buy the materials from the dollar store and use our free plans, this airframe can be built for $1!
Provided if you can get project foam. If you're in europe you can get it for 1$ + 60$ shipping.
Awesome you guys do this
Love your channel
Really nice project, and idea guys!. Family project
Also can you turn the music down a bit please on your next video, thanks
the first two are loud and I cant focus on what your saying

I like that the term "special blend" is used with the waterproof foam board. Makes me think there might be some coffee in there somewhere. lol
At a guess W*lm*rt coffee is made from it ??

Classic FliteTest at it's best!
Wow! This video kinda takes me back to when I was first starting out! Feels good to think back to the basics!
8 long years of watching you guys and I'm still entertained. Hello from northwest Ohio.
The Long-EZ (and it's variants) is one of my favorite airframes ever. Glad you made an RC one!
Plane looks awesome. You guys are so polite and informative. Keep up the great work guys.
Your positive attitude makes me want to spend my whole paycheck at your business. A++ fella's !
honestly it blows my mind how passionate these guys are towards the hobby. keep it up :D

A family of over 900,000 great people! We sure are a big ole' happy family aren't we :D I love you all!
Love you:)
One of the most positive channels on TH-cam; makes me want to get into the RC building!
Awesome and thoughtful video for new pilots ! Really enjoy being subscribed to this channel 👍👍 now off to buy one of your kits😀
Good to see a traditional FT video.
This channel needs to be a TV SHOW!!!
Congrats on 900k. Love you guys.
"building something that defeats the laws of gravity" Don't you mean "building something that perfectly abides the laws of gravity?" LOL :P

Great great design and do you know what is greater? It's how you making it easy and fun for others to indulge in some outdoor activities, flight test ... you rock!
Long - EZ ... still my fave after all these years... any size will do!! Aaaaaa'd baaaa that ferrrr a daaaallarrr!!
This could be an amazing fpv platform! You won't have to worry about the propeller in the view, and, great for raceing!
only reason i can fly is because of FT!!!!! Thx guys!!!!
Tyler Curtis same here!
I am so, sooooo ready for that A-10 video to come out.

You Guys should try to make an RC airplane that has NO CONTROL SURFACES and just flies off of weight shift in side the fuselage/wing roots.
A return to Flitetest roots - excellent.
Bet that would make a good elastic band powered plane too!
Canard looks so awesome and sporty.
I love it! Sweet flying plane. Don't forget that balsa chuck gliders are also very easy to build and fly so well that even from a simple hand launch, they can float away out of sight in a thermal. Speaking of which, a balsa Long Ez would be epic!
Paper aeroplane is a fantastic recommendation, well done.

We got the profile EAA glider at a airshow. Still can't believe how well it flies!
Great idea! I always have more fun if I build it and then fly it! Thanks for posting!
Great video. You guys make me smile. I wish nothing but good will onto you guys!
Its Sunday. Florence has arrived. I need these plans to keep me busy today =)
Wow! Fantastic job on the plans, guys! Very nicely done.
Burt Rutan was my inspiration for a long time.
In the Netherlands, this brown FT foam board can be had for € 3, which is still an awesome deal!
Its really amazing how much effort you guys put to get people into the hobby!! Love what you guys do!! :)
Please make the A-10 a speed build kit! But if you don't you guys are still awesome, best RC company ever
Awesome! Absolutely going to build this one!
Can't wait for the plans to be released!!!

I absolutely love this stuff

DANG I GOTTA WAIT 3 DAYS TO BUILD IT !!! WORTH THE WAIT... I LOVE FLITE TEST
Would be awesome to see how to make the chuck model do loops and boomerang maneuvers
Sweet video you guys are awesome I had my local hobby store order the long-ez kit from you guys keep building them I'll keep buying them
Already bought mine yesterday!
My respect goes to you guys are a motivation for a lot o peoples I'll be doing some projects with my kids
Can’t beat a $1!
Great project and presentation! Kids might not know what CG means.
Waiting to see the 8ft A-10 chuck glider
Alex / JB - very Kool vid - hopefully this will spawn more new starters into the hobby. And globally we need more to be able to have a voice and keep flying.
Feet on the ground, heads to the sky.
Canards have always interested me. I'd like to see a C-pack sized LongEZ?
great little plane
I saw this on your store yesterday and wondered why I didn't see the video
I think it would be really cool if they built the command cruiser from Ace Combat 6. There’s opportunity for fun there, as well as sponsorships from the creators of Ace Combat. Even without the sponsors though, the build would be a lot of fun. The cruiser itself reminds me of the kraken, but with a runway and a more “stingray” sort of look to it.

Great video and idea i wonder how a RC glider version would handle a slope or high start/bungee launch
