That plane is so awesome!!! It looks like a flying cartoon!!! And insofar as what i'd like to see dropped out of it... Hmmm... I bet a bunch of bang snaps would be pretty cool!!!
1. A bomb bay full of Helicopter Seeds? 2. Marshmallows dropped over something like a line of RC planes or maybe trying to get them into a laundry basket or open trash can? 3. A roll of toilet paper or crepe paper from high up?
So wonderful to see you reviewing Flite Test planes. I had built 3 working on 4th and purchasing items for number 5. It is more rewarding when building your own with so little supplies needed. Nice part is that if you crash and destroy you can salvage whatever electronics and build another one without losing a lot of money. Thank you for all of your dedication to inspire the RC industry.
Absolutely my friend, and I totally agree! Favor: please place your next order through our link to show some love the FT and RC Saylors 🙏❤️😎 What is your current/ next FT project? ⚓️
@TheRcSaylors i can absolutely guess... can you imagine how funny it would be watching even half a dozen bouncy balls drop on pavement from that high... 🤣 i thought about suggesting eggs.... lol.
In all seriousness though, thank you for the content. I showed my wife the nerf darts on the bomber video and she loved it. This is content that I am more then happy to allow my 8 year old son to watch who is starting to show interest in getting into the RC hobby.
Yes! Love the Flite Test content!! I was disappointed that FT reduced their amount of content a few years ago and I don’t think they review their own releases good enough. You all have definitely been filling this void. Love it!! Anyway, have someone like your wife fly the bomber while you have a little 2” or so quad in the bay, and see if she can drop you without you crashing, and then you can chase her and get some good air to air. My wife bought me this kit for Christmas so I will be building and flying in the coming weeks. Can not wait.
when u guys were picking up the parachutes i thought u said “here comes a plane” …. for a split second i thought the model was a full sized airplane & my heart skipped a beat… 😂
Remember another kids toy from my youth. It was a plastic rocket with a flat metal plate in the pointy end. There was a small spring loaded bar that stuck out of the top . You pulled up bar and rolled up paper caps for a cap gun and stuck them under bar. Then throw it up as high as you can or drop from height and wait for the loud bang. Hours of fun. . You should try these. If they fit. Or if they still make them.
AWESOME bomber!! Who knew there's whistling need bullets!! This was an EXCEPTIONAL video, maiden flight and all!! I think you should drop ping pong balls and have your kids with you to pick them up afterwards!! Thanks Saylors, you are crazy and I love it!! 💟👍😂😎
That was awesome - such a fun episode! Very very impressed with the whistling darts - those little orange darts were da BOMB! 😜 I certainly enjoy seeing the FliteTest partnership. Thanks to JB and Dave and the FT family, and Mr. Roger as well! Merry CHRISTmas all! ✝️
Snap poppers from the fireworks stand. I know , lots of paper to pick up. But the sound of them hitting the pavement by the hundreds would be epic! 🎉 Lol!😂
That is one awesome Bomber! I'd love to see some strafing runs at low altitude. Maybe you could put small fishing weights on the inside of the bomb bay doors: then fly upside down or do a flip to close the doors and reset the servo. Anyways, I'm sooo down to watch you drop a water balloon! Anything would be cool to watch drop! Make some targets too! Great video, great plane. God bless you guys!
Haha, those NERF darts were awesome! Stuff thousands of those snap-it, poppers, snappers firework things in there and drop them on the runway. I think they are biodegradable so you wont have to pick up all that tissue paper lol.
I agree with the water balloons. Maybe have Abby fly it and drop the water balloons on Nate. In the mean time you could drop items on a target in the grass, little buildings or vehicles, going for accuracy.
Fun video. Those darts were great. No matter what you choose to drop how about you have some sort of target such as an rc vehicle or an RcSaylors sign could be a cool thing to aim for. Have a good one!
Man!! Sounds like an unfortunate fatal flaw of the awesome EC-1500. Glad I’m not the only one, but at least we share that in common with each other! Do me a favor, and if you do order one of these please use our link so FT will continue to want to work with us! 🙏👍 Happy to help if I’m able to! 💯⚓️
Ok, that is just the coolest thing ever. I've always loved warbirds, and a chubby b17 with working bomb bay is a must have. I'm definitely going to be getting one of those now. 😂
I had put my comment before the end of the video when you said no eggs. 🥚 Maybe we could use a hollowed out ostrich egg filled with cornstarch so when it hits the ground it will be a big poof of white. 😊
Great Video! Loved your picks for things to drop, so cool! I think if the landing gear was just a tiny bit longer the bay doors would have more clearance for landing. ⚓️
What about lengthening the landing struts maybe a quarter of an inch? Would that give the bomb bay doors clearance enough to land? I see water balloons getting dropped out of mine when I get it.😂
That was probably one of the smoothest landings ever !! This plane is literally amazing and I want one now even tho Iv never flown one in my life lol merry Christmas to you Abby and the kids !!
Wouldn't that be super cool with an FPV canopy and a 3-axis gimbal? 🥰🤩 Thanks for the video, super cool 😊 I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays
God I wish I could afford that plane. Okay, I've been looking for it to the release of that for so long. I think it's one of the coolest planes out there
I think water balloons would be cool but the real test is to fill the bomb bay to capacity and see how the plane flys. I don’t have the plane (yet), but I would think larger tires or longer landing gear would help.
NATE YOU HAVE TO DROP SOME WATER BALLOONS!!!!😂 or small snow balls🤣....This is so freakin awesome!!!! I wish they would have more bomb bay door planes....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my sensei fs I use to drop parachute guys for my son and his friends 😊 I'm just scared to fly it as much since it is discontinued and parts would be nonexistent in case of a crash....super cool plane!!!!💯🙏🏼✌🏼
Nate & Abby, You guys make everything fun, but I almost think this airplane outfunned you! If such a thing is even possible! I love this! I don't think I've ever laughed so much watching one of your episodes! as far as aerial assault weaponry, I think some kind of giant talcum powder bomb that makes a big poof cloud when it hits would be a "BLAST!"
Nate wear in the world fo you put em All brother I know you've got to have one more collection how bout a update some times hope you and Abby and the kids have a great Christmas may the lord continue to bless you and your family
When i was kid a long time ago. We could not afford expensive toys. Used to make a paper helicopter. It had 2 blades attached to what looked like a letter J as its body . U then stick a paper fastener through the bottom curve of the J for balest. Cant remember how to make them. U should try to make a few smaller versions there blades will fold up flat. Then drop them. They will open up and spin to the ground like sycamore seeds.
You had them boats to feed the fish.. there's a bomb that you can fill and cast with a fishing rod - hits the water and it pops open. That would be cool if you loaded one of those and dropped it over the lake.

Loved the video! Can’t wait to fly with you guys and see what other crazy things you drop
Fun. The landing gear need to be a little longer. That would keep the door of the ground. Godspeed
It has got to be one of your best videos. Love your enthusiasm. Great playing.
That plane is so awesome!!! It looks like a flying cartoon!!! And insofar as what i'd like to see dropped out of it... Hmmm... I bet a bunch of bang snaps would be pretty cool!!!
I vote for some super bouncy rubber balls,small ones.😁
Yes. That.
💪🏼😺👍🏼

Bouncy balls! I think that would be funny to watch.
Will you help us pick them up?! lol 😂😅 This video took us like 3X longer to film than normal. Can you guess why!? Haha 😂😂😁❤️⚓️
@TheRcSaylors i can absolutely guess... can you imagine how funny it would be watching even half a dozen bouncy balls drop on pavement from that high... 🤣 i thought about suggesting eggs.... lol.

Full load of those little paper poppers.
when u guys were picking up the parachutes i thought u said “here comes a plane” …. for a split second i thought the model was a full sized airplane & my heart skipped a beat… 😂

Abby and Nate, y'all rock! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, y'all and family! Peace 🤘❤

Fun video.
Thanks for your contribution to the rc hobby. You and your wife are awesome. She's gotta fly more!
The past few vids look like a lot of fun things to play with with the kiddos. The rockets, the flat foamy builders, now this thing. What a blast!
I would try to extend the arms for the wheels to give the hatch more clearence!
Put bang snaps in it that would be cool
AWESOME bomber!! Who knew there's whistling need bullets!! This was an EXCEPTIONAL video, maiden flight and all!! I think you should drop ping pong balls and have your kids with you to pick them up afterwards!! Thanks Saylors, you are crazy and I love it!! 💟👍😂😎
That'll be awesome! Nate can even wear a red suit.. if anyone gets this.
Now that’s krazy! Perfect!!😊
That video was AWSOME guys, Another great video. Love the Plane and the Darts. Very creative!!
Put some of those firecracker poppers you throw on the ground. I bet they would sound really cool popping on the ground when they hit.
LOVE IT NATE ❤❤❤❤!! The guy across the river
Belgium flag on the nose ❤❤love it man that plane
12:05
DROP BARBIE 😂🤣😂
You guys have been killing it with the Barbies and nerf 🤣 thanks 👍
Drop a bunch of superballs, candy, or like 20 parachute guys. Nice video.
Some wild flower seeds in the spring that would be nice
Really good idea. Sunflower seeds would be cool.
This is probably the most entertaining video I've seen from y'all. Those whistling darts were perfect. Parachutes are very cool too. Great job.
That was awesome - such a fun episode! Very very impressed with the whistling darts - those little orange darts were da BOMB! 😜
I certainly enjoy seeing the FliteTest partnership. Thanks to JB and Dave and the FT family, and Mr. Roger as well!
Merry CHRISTmas all! ✝️
Those paratroopers looked so cool. I hope they make it to their rendezvous point. 😂
Wow, the sound of those darts is amazing. Too Cool
You are bringing FUN back into the hobby. Superb!!
Definitely 💯 brightly colored beer pong balls!
Snap poppers from the fireworks stand. I know , lots of paper to pick up. But the sound of them hitting the pavement by the hundreds would be epic! 🎉 Lol!😂
Make a pile of little paper airplanes with the kids. Great video. Love the drops you chose!
That is one awesome Bomber! I'd love to see some strafing runs at low altitude. Maybe you could put small fishing weights on the inside of the bomb bay doors: then fly upside down or do a flip to close the doors and reset the servo. Anyways, I'm sooo down to watch you drop a water balloon! Anything would be cool to watch drop! Make some targets too! Great video, great plane. God bless you guys!
Coolest thing I've ever seen!
That's awesome airplane and great flying to and Merry Christmas TheRcSaylors and Happy New Year to love the rc saylors✨️👍😃😎♥️
Drop tomatoes to see them splat! Please have a blessed Christmas! ! !
Haha, those NERF darts were awesome! Stuff thousands of those snap-it, poppers, snappers firework things in there and drop them on the runway. I think they are biodegradable so you wont have to pick up all that tissue paper lol.
so MUCH FUN!
You should set up a hula hoop on the ground to use it for a drop target.. drop an egg and see how close you can get to the target..
Or you could do the same with bean bags.
I agree with the water balloons. Maybe have Abby fly it and drop the water balloons on Nate. In the mean time you could drop items on a target in the grass, little buildings or vehicles, going for accuracy.
Fun video. Those darts were great. No matter what you choose to drop how about you have some sort of target such as an rc vehicle or an RcSaylors sign could be a cool thing to aim for. Have a good one!
Parachute with glow sticks on them.
That's an amazing plane! You should add servos for opening and closing the bomb bay doors.
Awesome stuff !! Fun, Fun ! !
Snap and pops!
That was so cool just wish they did a scale paint job I love it id repaint it just me
how about those poppers when you throw then they pop
How about little green Army men! LoL 😂
Now I want one. I, too, lost one of my EC1500s because a nerf bomb got caught on the servo arm and the chute turned into a drag shoot. 😂
Man!! Sounds like an unfortunate fatal flaw of the awesome EC-1500. Glad I’m not the only one, but at least we share that in common with each other! Do me a favor, and if you do order one of these please use our link so FT will continue to want to work with us! 🙏👍 Happy to help if I’m able to! 💯⚓️
U should totally drop those little popping fireworks that pop when u throw them on the ground
The flight test crew works for the people
Ok, that is just the coolest thing ever. I've always loved warbirds, and a chubby b17 with working bomb bay is a must have. I'm definitely going to be getting one of those now. 😂
Maybe bigger tires/longer landing gear would help with the doors
Light rubber bands to pull the doors shut - dropping objects heavy enough to open them - will allow the doors to self close.
I think a streamer drop would be nice like what skydivers use to drop to check wind direction!
Ostrich egg! The biggest one that we can fit. 😊🙏
I had put my comment before the end of the video when you said no eggs. 🥚 Maybe we could use a hollowed out ostrich egg filled with cornstarch so when it hits the ground it will be a big poof of white. 😊
Well, if you’re out around a little darkness, you might wanna drop about 20 or 30 glow sticks lol
That was flippin' awesome. Must have!
instead of nerf bullets use some of those rockets that you load the caps into...the longer/harder they fall the louder the caps pop!
A other awesome 👏 vid cool looking plane too happy flying all 😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
That is flicn awesome guys!!! definitely on my wish list!!!
Whistle while you work, da ta da ta da! Flite Test is Tubby today?
Best video ever
Great fun plane you guys.....Enjoyed the video. Have a Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!!🎄
Gel balls. Bonus there is that they'll disintegrate when they hit, so you don't have to go find them.
Oh and you Definitely should put a toucan Sam beak on it 😂👍🏻
Great Video! Loved your picks for things to drop, so cool! I think if the landing gear was just a tiny bit longer the bay doors would have more clearance for landing. ⚓️
Super balls
Bomb bay full of snap-n-pops🎉
Very awesome!
What about lengthening the landing struts maybe a quarter of an inch? Would that give the bomb bay doors clearance enough to land? I see water balloons getting dropped out of mine when I get it.😂
That was probably one of the smoothest landings ever !! This plane is literally amazing and I want one now even tho Iv never flown one in my life lol merry Christmas to you Abby and the kids !!
Hello and merry Christmas. I think you should drop either candy or glow sticks lol
Wouldn't that be super cool with an FPV canopy and a 3-axis gimbal? 🥰🤩
Thanks for the video, super cool 😊
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays
Ok that was really Cool😎 Thanks for making me smile tonight!!!
God I wish I could afford that plane. Okay, I've been looking for it to the release of that for so long. I think it's one of the coolest planes out there
For such a large plane, it’s pretty affordable! It wouldn’t take many driveways shoveled to buy this set up 😁😉💯👍⚓️
So cool
Drop candy and toys for the kids. Merry Christmas guys
I think water balloons would be cool but the real test is to fill the bomb bay to capacity and see how the plane flys. I don’t have the plane (yet), but I would think larger tires or longer landing gear would help.
KOOL PLANE. ALTHOUGH DONT THINK ID CALL IT BEAUTIFUL OR A B 17.. NOW “ CHUNKY “ IS A GREAT DESCRIPTION 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤙🤙🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Drop snapper poppers
Gotta do an egg drop, one wrapped up see if it can survive, the other a control, squash it when it lands.
Drop some whistles for sound effect and bags for flour for visual effect.
Flour could be really cool! 👍💯😎⚓️
NATE YOU HAVE TO DROP SOME WATER BALLOONS!!!!😂 or small snow balls🤣....This is so freakin awesome!!!! I wish they would have more bomb bay door planes....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my sensei fs I use to drop parachute guys for my son and his friends 😊 I'm just scared to fly it as much since it is discontinued and parts would be nonexistent in case of a crash....super cool plane!!!!💯🙏🏼✌🏼
I would like to see a egg 👍🏼😁
Nate & Abby, You guys make everything fun, but I almost think this airplane outfunned you! If such a thing is even possible! I love this! I don't think I've ever laughed so much watching one of your episodes!
as far as aerial assault weaponry, I think some kind of giant talcum powder bomb that makes a big poof cloud when it hits would be a "BLAST!"
Maybe slightly larger diameter wheels to prevent to bomb bay doors from catching.
Use the firecacker snaps, or something that might need to be a bit heavier.
Nate wear in the world fo you put em All brother I know you've got to have one more collection how bout a update some times hope you and Abby and the kids have a great Christmas may the lord continue to bless you and your family
Punctuation is a thing, it helps making gibberish readable.
When i was kid a long time ago. We could not afford expensive toys. Used to make a paper helicopter. It had 2 blades attached to what looked like a letter J as its body . U then stick a paper fastener through the bottom curve of the J for balest. Cant remember how to make them. U should try to make a few smaller versions there blades will fold up flat. Then drop them. They will open up and spin to the ground like sycamore seeds.
Snap pops the adult ones 🎇
Glue a fin shaped wedge on the nose with a small wheal on it
Water balloon would be hilarious 😅
I have an awesome idea. how about some of the pop fireworks that you throw on the ground that the kids play with every year lol
That plane needs multiple compartments ( more drops)
It can take the weight!
That was cool lol. You obviously have to drop and egg on a target.
You had them boats to feed the fish.. there's a bomb that you can fill and cast with a fishing rod - hits the water and it pops open. That would be cool if you loaded one of those and dropped it over the lake.
We would like to see you drop water balloons
