Perfect excuse to get a pizza
we want more pizza box model aircraft
i am building one tonight. Ordering pizza now.
Morning View will you eat the pizza while you build the plane? :P
Step 1 - eat pizza
@@psullivan40 he said the box should preferably be empty so step one is optional :p
True
Update?
So do you guys have a deal with a pizza joint to sell an FT special? Large pizza with a bottle of water or pop and the box pre-printed with the template. Instead of dessert the electronics, props, etc. would come with the meal. Families could skip the movie and make the plane as an after dinner activity. Friday night dinner becomes a Saturday morning outing. More pilots in the house equals more pizzas sold.
Sounds like a startup to me :D.
I like it
I want to see that happen
That sound like a great idea
That actually sounds amazing. They should do it.
You are a public benefactor, Josh. Many thanks! Just bought a large foam chuck glider today, too. Rudder and throttle will be the only control inputs. One short pusher prop on dorsal pylon.
I love this. Making planes out even more common materials.
This is the most awesome thing ever, will make one for sure. Would love more of these though! Maybe a cub or trainer!
5 eights of an inch omg! All hail the metric system!!!!
Because 15.875 millimeters is better?
@@ericjkovach alot better actually.
Respect the metric system
@@ericjkovach If you are using the metric system you would plan this with round numbers ahead
long life to the metric system
I would love to see more pizza box aircraft models plans, there is tons of those boxes at home all the time :)
I really love this build.. this is the most affordable flying wing ive known.. also free snack :) .. sadly i cant afford the electronics needed.. keep this kind of project flite test..
I find this the most interesting rc plane video. This opens the door to build your own rc plane from cheap resources everywhere available and customize it anyway you want.
Oh snap, I messed up. I Guess I have to order another pizza!
Henrique Dutra rip
That is the best recycling idea EVER!!!!!
I like what you do! When I was getting into this hobby I didn't know where can I get foam and it was very frustrating. I eventually found a good material but if there are some people who don't have access to foam flite test got their back :)
No 99 cent / dollar tree stores around? Usually if there's something you cant find there, They'll order it if you ask.
Very cool.ima try this soon.thanks for the how to build instructions.
You are the best plane builder’s in the world seriously
My local hobby shop finally started selling your store items and I’m so excited to purchase more from you guys
have they started selling pizza boxes though?
This short build video is better than longer ones
yes !!!!!
Terrific! Glad I found your channel.
Now this is what you call scratch building
I love this guy!
0:35 "preferably empty"
Could we get an updated parts list in the description servos n such thank you for your time . Love the videos
I tried ordering a flying wing for something new to do on my one allowed walk per day but it got cancelled due to supply issues. This is a great idea! Got all the bits from an old quad build already.
Awesome stuff guys
i like these tutorials
so cool! tx for posting :)
It's a pie in the sky!
You meant pizza right?
Rossana Sanchez no that’s a way to say pizza
soooo name the plane pie in the sky..... the tshirts can use the acrnym .... "the PIS plane" 😆😆😆
I did not know this channel existed. I subscribed.
Very good !
I love this design.im going to make one very soon.one thing you didn't show was the left and right control flaps.im guessing it's on the same channel as up and down flaps?other than that the video and design is cool.i love building things with stuff that would be trash.thanks for sharing
good job !!!
GENIUS
that is crazy you guys keep surprising me
Siete super......great
Fantastic work, guys! 😀
Awesome build Josh!!
Awesome men
Perfect !!!!
Love it
Great josh
Excellent spectacular
I make gliders with cereal boxes, recently I made the world's biggest cereal box cardboard glider, measuring 66" of wingspan, check it out. And this video is definetely an inspiration to make a fliying wing with similar materials and electronics.
Yo veo los videos de tu canal, muy buenos todos!!
I am building one. It keeps spinning mid air and i put vertical stabilizers. Btw im testing it with out any electronics and i have it balanced around a quarter way to the back from the tip. The vertical stabilizers are perfectly aligned and on the the ends of the sides. And yes, they are facing the correct way.
An excuse to order pizza thanks guys on it right now
Awesome
excellent
Not that there's something wrong, but are all the builds from Flite Test going to be on this channel or is it just the unique builds like the Slice, Twin Sparrow etc?
Are you familiar with the Flying Flounder? I think that design would lend itself to something like this.
Awesomeness ft
Great!
This is great and just what I needed! Thanks for the motivation to finally get into this hobby after waiting WAY too long.. do you have links for the receiver and transmitter that will work for this as well?
any 3 channel receiver and transmitter, as long as they are the same band, will work. I use a Spektrum DX6e for my transmitter.
The Equalizer YT cheers! Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it!
The Equalizer YT is this one complete garbage or would this be ok for a total noob? 😂www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0P8Q8U/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_Zj-fBb7ABHC3E
That one is a budget model. (not saying you shouldn't get it ;)) I have heard that Gool RC products are rather poor quality. Try the Spektrum DXe or DX6e.
DX6e: www.horizonhobby.com/airplanes/aircraft-transmitters/dx6e-6ch-system-w--ar610-receiver-spm6650
DXe: www.horizonhobby.com/product/airplanes/spektrum-brand/aircraft-transmitters/dxe-transmitter-system-with-ar610-receiver-spm1000
Geeksmithing I am a beginner too and I use this transmitter, I am very happy with it. This one and fs-i6x are probably transmitters that give you best value for your money. I recommend getting fs-ia6b receiver instead of fs-ia6 receiver. Slight price difference but much greater range. I hope you have lots of fun with this hobby!
Great work. Thank you very much. It is so awesome. 👍
That was an ingenious spar! Easy to achieve taper and strong triangular cross-section.
Bt this is nice very nice
Some proper engineering went into this. Cardboard yes, but also proper engineering.
"Make what you _need_ with what you _have_ "
Thank God we can all print templates
can i put a 2200kv motor on a bottle cap and what kv motor did you use
Hi, what receiver do you use? by the way great work
i will try this
I have a question what speed controller do they use in the pizza wing how many amps did the gremli motor buy from them thanks for the video
I have a 3 meat pizza box but I'm betting that greay goodness will affect the CG =) I'd really like to 3D print a fullsize Arrow using light weight PLA.
Hi,
whats the motor and esc? is there any other equivalent i could use
That dog with the cone on its head at the end! 🤣
Lol this is so great~~~~
how to setup flaps and elevator servo's bro? its move at the same times?
Bonjour, qu est ce que vous utilisez pour la tringlerie ? Merci d avance.
This is GREAT!
Where'd ya get the rockin' tunes there, Josh? I was groovin' so hard, I had to watch the video 3 times from not paying attention. 😜 ✈↩
Good
When I try to get to the links for the motor, ESC and prop I get a "page not found" message. The link for the battery works. Can someone tell me exactly what motor, ESC and prop is being used in this video? I'm eager to build one of these.
It's an 1106 motor with a 30A ESC
Can you say tell me the things? It all says “Whoops! Page not found”
@@Informationdocx😅
this is so cool, will probably try this soon
I was able to follow throw and build one. I can’t find any info about the CG. Can you please tell me where is the CG on this module. Thanks
What motor propellor esc and a all electronics used please reply list
was thinking about ordering everything to bud this pizza box wing ....it seems that the paiges are no longer available....i need some help...thanks guy ...have a blessed day
I dont know if its a stupid question but could you slope soar it?
Amazing.
cuales son los componentes ya que no puedo verlos en la pagina oficial ??? gracias
I work for Dominos so ill be getting a few large box's tonight 😁
Hot and ready. Is this a pizza box or a targeted ad on my feed...?
Would it work on foamboard? Or is it to thick?
Was this built with a power pack? And if yes, which one?
O miserável é um gênio kkkkkk
Which remote to use
Tiled prints would be great. BUT I opened this in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and used the Poster print setting to get them tiled. I guess it is the right scale, maybe some dimentions on the plans would be good too.
About the CG.... Josh said that he scaled down the FT Mini Arrow. So given that the Arrow wingspan is 30.5" (775mm) and the CG is about 6.7"(170mm) from the tip of the plane. With a pizza box plane wingspan of roughly 22"(560mm), then the CG should roughly be 5" (126mm) from the tip. (correct me if I'm wrong)
EDIT: So I just superimposed the FT Mini Arrow plans over the FT Slice (AKA pizza box plane) using photoshop. The CG looks to be about 5" (126mm) from the tip.
{I previously said 4.55"(116mm) which I guess would be more stable. This error came from the tile #8 cutting off 1cm from the tip that is added back in on tile #4. lol. Oops.}
D S I hear this question a lot so I think I’m going to answer it here just for fun, though by now you would’ve clearly solve this problem for yourself.
Take the prop off and find your own CG using a glide test. Move your battery back-and-forth until when released from the top of a “glide” (i.e. over your head while you run or tossed back-and-forth with a friend) it makes a nice relatively flat glide down to the ground. From their use your choice of ways to find where the plane balances front to back and mark that spot on the underside of your wing. I recommend that you also mark where are you selected to put the battery so that you can do quick changes in the field in that shift your CG.
Your plane should now fly. Planes with the CG too far forward don’t takeoff. Planes with the CG too far aft take off only once.
The rest of CG is all niceties for us hobbyists.
Cheers!
Right on guys! Now lets see some Coro planes, yeah that's right, lets see a FT SPAD!
Can i fly it without the vertical stabilizer?
What power pack does this youse
Great accessible option. What is the cheapest value components to make this fly, in UK. What to do with school students. No money in education so might be buying myself ;/
Is there any way I can get an updated list of materials? most of the links on here seem to no longer work. I built the body of the plane about a year ago, and I just want to get it flying.
What power pack does it take
Hello my friend, I want to buy all the things that the aircraft has done from the engine. Console, remote controls, battery How do I get it and where?
First you must tell us how much do u want to pay
Could @Flite Test Tech please post a new link to the battery? The link isnt working.
I am trying to build this plane but I wanna use the electronics of an old toy plane and this plane hasn't got ports where I can plug in the servos. How can I make it like made in the video?
Serías tan amable de darnos plano ?.... Saludos
请问有具体的尺寸吗？我也想做一个，谢谢
Hi I built one and everything seems to be okay however It seems to just spin as soon as its launched (I am using a 5 inch prop with a 2200kv motor)
What was the battery used in this?
I cant find a number for CG ...downloaded the plans but no marks on it 😬 from the front where is the center ?
Where is the CG?
Cut out another "spar" shaped part, and then just balance your airplane on it front to back like a see saw. Mark your plane right there. Now find some tall grass and take your plane over your head and just gently tossed it forward away from you. You want to move your battery forward until you can smooth out that few going flight pattern that it's going to want to develop. You know, the one the paper airplanes do where they head up, stall and fall point 1st down and then head backup once they're going fast enough to fly again.
That's the easy way. I like to do it with a friend so we can toss the plane back-and-forth between us and don't Dent up the nose and wingtips :)
I should put up a video of my son and I doing this.
what power pack do we use.
