Congratulations Flight Test! Great way to show how starting by building and designing RC planes can lead to so much more! It is not just a toy, but a learning tool that can lead to some great careers. Keep up the amazing work!
Very impressive!! You all worked as a team and it paid off. Hope you give it another go next year!
woah taofledermaus! all of my favorite channels are connected!
Damnit Jeff, do you watch every damn video I do. Steal my Sub list? Good vid on the chain reaction earlier.
glad to see you here.
🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

So many good builders tried but FliteTest just simply nailed it.
Congrats on 500,000 subs! Looking forward to seeing more ludicrously good FliteTest content!!!
Love what you guys do. Keep up the great work.
Hihi.... Totally awesome how Josh tries to pronounce Flugtag. I really love the insight-videos! Keep it up!!
That was awesome, great job on the build
KILLED IT! CONGRATS!
You came back. Thanks guys
Congrats on 500k!
OMG I learned a lot from this video, THANKS.
I did not know how simple it is.
Again thanks
Awesome video. Congrats again on winning.
this is awesome guys!!!
can you guys please build some sort of glider attachment for a bike
Awesome per usual!
You guys are awesome! Well done.
Full size rc build now please!
Ya'll failed to mention you WON!!!! Nice job. I hadda go watch the whole thing.
brilliant flying.
Nice job!!! Congratulation...
Very impressive ............. great work .
I still want a speed build kit of this, I also want David Winstall to mount rockets on it
You guys are amazing
OK now this need's to be made RC..
Make it Rc. Or just put a motor on it and fly it
yeah, I really want to see this flown RC, twin engine should do it nicely.
Unfortunately we would have to MAKE another one! ;) Mainly because they crushed the other one at Flug Tag! ha
S.O.
Sweet... Soooooo we should see a video in... what... about 2 months..?? :) :)
Is that part of the contest? I mean, I know most of them are destroyed by the crash, but yours seemed to land relatively unharmed...
so cool, love your video
I've been toying with using honeycomb cardboard in place of foam for larger scale aircraft as it is about the same weight as foam, or marginally lighter, but it is way more rigid. Slicing it span wise and also build in the aerofoil shape so the wing skin becomes a rigid surface
You guys are awesome for sharing your methodologies to everyone, including next year's competition.
Are multi-wings allowed? I think you could achieve much more effective wing area in a smaller span with a bi or tri-plane. You probably can reduce weight using and school tension wires instead of a cantilevered wing. cables are draggy, but that won't hurt you much at the low speeds. Of course you guys used building techniques that you use daily. it is amazing how quickly you put it all together. Victory at Flugtag after hosting a world record achieving Flite Fest. You guys are amazing. Keep it coming!
Simply brilliant.....
I left this channel about a year ago, I decided to take a look at how its been, well let's just say these guys should earn another 1 million subscribers!!!!
Because the wing is always in stall on that plane, I'd make the horizontal stab full flying. It will grab more air just before he hits the water and get some more distance. Some version of Horner tips on the wings will help too. Great job !!!
NICE!
Where can I get the wing profile diagram?
You guys are awesome keep the videos coming BROTHER...👉👉👉👉
you guys should put a tiled plan of the rib section on your site for download, that would be awesome
I really want to build one of these! Any suggestions? Especially how to make the spar template as I do not have a laser cutter.
Ruler & protractor.
Excellent !
So is the spar on this solid wood or plywood paneling with a foam core?
hey flite test can you explain in a video how the wings must twist for the plane to turn
That is amazing !!!
I would love it if you put all the measures for it
It's awesome
Great distance, good airfoil. But, I NEED to know if this glider wings will actually fly further than your Flugtag flight.
Cool! The jump from R/C to hang gliders/ultralight sailplanes isn't that huge is it?
Where do you find 1/2 inch thick foam??? Thank you, Matthew
Looks like a very advanced Ugly stick. Unreal team work.
Hahahaha good one!!😜
Lots I blood and sweet went into it I can tell. Great work on designing it! Maybe next year you'll do better if u do it! Again great job! Just keep doing what your doing it's a great channel for rc lovers!
Lots of* my bad lol
Could you make this powered? And would it be Part 103 compliant?
Amazing!
How much did the wing weigh? The whole plane? That wing worked very well - very stiff, no sign of bending or twisting. Scaling things up can be the biggest challenge, but I think you guys nailed it.
are you going to turn it into an rc after the flutag?
i was there! i had no idea that that plane was yours, but I knew it was going to go well!
What is the name of the software they used to design the wing?
Is there software where I input the requirements for a wing in what it would do in my plane, and the software would give me good dimensions and a shape?
Im still going to make one of these. What is the plastic sheet you wrapped around the wings? You said it was monocoat but monocoat is a liquid that protects the floors. Thanks!
MonoKote.
It would be nice to hear from Chad what it was like to fly it. Also, what did you learn from the flight. 100% success? Could it have flown further if your did X Y or Z. Thanks,
I wonder if Rotor Riot will put up an episode on this too?
Just curious, what did you do with the plane after the event was done?
Flugtag rules state that all the aircraft are destroyed.
In god's name... WHY?, I guess so you can't use it (or parts of it) in next year's "Flugtag"?
maybe but i also think its so that people dont spend a lot of money on them, why would you if it just gets destroyed
You guys should have used clear mono-coat, its lighter than the dyed stuff.
What's the mono coat ?
I think you can make one that will fly even further! Will you be in the contest again?
how many rolls of covering did you use for the whole craft?
Can you make a video about how to design and build a wing because we need that for a project in school you guys did amazing
he mentioned the software he used in the video.
WickdPerfekT do you know software name.
I need that software. I hope you can help me :)
he says at 2:35 it's called DevWing.
Awesome!
What song is at 1:30? If its a flite test song i'd like to buy it.
can you do a review of the new champ s+ ?
Even though, for me, it takes a long time just to build aFt style planes, i can't help but want to build balsa/ rib and srick stick style planes one day. All the structures and shapes are just so..., nostalgic.
What was the tail boom/stick fuselage made of?
Super cool
How many aircraft engineers do you have working there? Simply amazing. Geekin out ova heeyuh.
+FliteTest: What is the rear boom made out of? Fiberglass or carbon fiber?
Are you guys going to do a video on the new 210 quadcopter frame?
I have not seen a Flite Test product without review and build video. So the chances are pretty high :).
flugtag in german literally means flight day if my school boy german is right.
it is
Correct :)
yes it does ;D
ja das stimmt
yup
Can you please explain why you chose that aerofoil . And could it not be possible to get more speed on take off ?
Dear FliteTest,
Over the past few months I have saved enough money to build one of these, and I am having a little trouble finding out how to make the wing template you used to cut out the foam. Everything else I have with me, but I cannot start the project without a template. if you could tell me where to find the dimensions of the template that would be great. I already tried DevWing but it does not work for macs sadly
Thanks!

What's the wing cover made from?
Congrats on the win! Did any of it come back with you?
Rumors are that Chad stole the tail. ;)
Ha Rumor is true...but...the tail is actually here at HQ in North Canton ;)
I like your channel's profile picture, lost is my favorite tv series
Is this going to be a swappable?
So I really hope you guys are going to rebuild that thing and fly it again. Maybe this time off a higher cliff so you can actually fly it around a bit.
I bet this will be awesome if you put a motor n it.... Great work guys
wauw so coool thanks for sharing
Curious how much the thing weighed fully assembled?
What NACA aerofoil are you using?
Could you have used a delta wing or a bi-plane set up ?
Great job and video. If you save weight it would have flown a lot further. The box spar could have been hollowed out towards the wing ends, saving a bunch of weight, increasing the launch speed.
What airfoil was used? It seems pretty thick
devwing???? yeaaaa finally my 1000 inquiries answered thankssssssss
hey guys i was just wondering if you could try your hand at the 1990's model breechcraft starship
1:28 whats the music called?
what did your build weigh in at?
Can you guys create a mini f4f Wildcat or P-40e-1
Which Power Pack fits the FT Splash?
Was that a big FT Arrow I saw in the shop? I love the mini arrow. Are the plans for the big one available?
Where, when? How did I miss it again? Is it possible it was an older Versa Wing?
It was!
JB
+Josh Bixler thx Bixler are plans on the site?
Not yet as far as I know. But having it on display like that means it's at least in beta testing, so it won't take long :)
Anyone know the music used in the first timelapse?
Can somebody please tell me what really is this foam and is this avaliable in pakistan i need info
Just read in the comments that you won both overall and people's choice...that's awesome!
Just imagine how far you could have gone with more velocity at take off?
Australia has this at Moomba called the birdman rally! last 30-40? years looks like great fun, you blokes put a lot of $$$ into yours!
If you decide to try this again, run a sheet of your covering from the tip of the wing to the front of the tail. As long as your pilot can keep his feet out of the water, he can use ground effects to stay aloft longer.
Sweet!, now make it RC. Im sure Peter will have some good ideas about how to do that.
can you give us a drawing of your rib and dimensions and weight of wing
Es una pena, pues ese diseño podria volar en ladera o termica sin ningun problema...
Good video.
I’m wondering how do you get an invitation to be part of the flugtag
nice| great job
like
Would the plane fly if you took it off something much higher?
Way to show those guys how it's done!
What's the red papers'name ? What kind of paper is that ?
