Can’t imagine the man hours John & team spend researching and developing these projects. Well done. Guys, remember Josh has two million more demands on his time than he did 10 years ago.
I miss the old days when Josh did the builds. At least he had a maiden flight of the airplane and explain the characteristics of it. Can we get back to what made Flite test great. Let's make Flite test great again...
I like John's build videos too! They're detailed, and he's very helpful. I also enjoyed Josh's builds, and I hope they both do build videos from now on. One of the things that made Flitetest great before was free plans! You didn't have to buy kits to build a cool plane, you could make an awesome glider for just a couple bucks and that always amazed me. I hope they bring that back :(
While I also miss early flite test days, I have to say, I feel like John Overstreets designs are far superior to the old swappable style. While less forgiving than the old designs, they make beautiful scale models. While I do miss the Josh builds, he is doing amazing things as far as his business goes right now and is a true inspiration for plane guys as well as entrepreneurs
Ok I got mine in the mail I'm about halfway through the build process I had to figure putting the motor part in myself now on to building the wing phase! I'm gonna go as far as I can I got some servos on order from Grayson hobby so that's where I'm at. I would really like to see a setup and maiden video so I don't have to go into the fudge factor and do my best guess
Got this kit and just about finished. Will complain a little that the kit has some things that could have been done better like a. The channel that the wood spar crosses through the brace-joint-stack was not designed-etched correctly (was off by like 3/4") b. The push rod & plastic housing tube isn't lined up well between the servos and the rudder / elevator location (the push rod is therefore bending in a couple locations adding more friction). But I'm happy so far. We're looking fwd to the flight video!
Could you guys do a new video on painting the ft foam? Maybe do a demo paint on one of the new planes, and maybe add a paint key for what colors to buy?
As others have mentioned for one reason or another Flite Test has changed A LOT ( not knocking this video btw ) just saying there has been a change sort of a decline to what made it GREAT Also Way to many kits, no longer being sold/discontinued I assume ( much like HH products , here for a moment and in a blink they are gone ) new kits coming are great btw, BUT. things have just not been the same Some one there needs to go back and review, where and when and why it has?
Hey man, check amainhobbies.com. they have all of the old flite test items. Must have bought there old stock when they re did the website?? Not sure but everything from power packs to build kits. Anything they used to have online that they dont anymore.
This looks great but first you dont mail to my country, and like a lot of items on the ft page.... "out of stock" ..... come one.... even if you want to send the plans you can charge a credit card and send it via email..., go back to what make great flite test... josh buliding planes for everybody....

You guys did an awesome job capturing the lines of the 190 in foamboard. Great work.
Excellent John ! Josh is the quick easy builder that we miss so much .
John is the master builder we want when we have patience .

Yes i miss that too
The designer of the plane gets to do the build vid, and I suppose josh is busy with other stuff. Old days were great, but this makes sense for me
Me too !

David is not coming back, there is no greatness without the confused swede..
The build symbols are good, but nothing replaces watching a build video like this. Thanks!...
now all I need is a flight test... :)
Hey man will the plans be coming?
The symbol mapping is intuitive. I like it !

I just ordered one didn't see any flight video or setup yet is that coming soon I'll be building this pretty quick maybe by next week
Do you still sell this kit? I really want one but cannot find it on your store
Why can't I find the speed build kit on Flite test website?
Where are the plans for this build?
Why ya gotta wait till september for release??? We want that thing now !!! Got an f pack with a 4 cell waiting for her lol
To change color do I paint it or spray paint or do I just use colored foam 🤔
you can scuff up the surface using steel wool, once thats done you can spray paint surface. Love the Rustoleum 2x line of paints.
Flite test should do a master series for all of them warbirds

Are the electronics included
can you bild a B29 Bomer
I miss the part where josh took the newly built plane right outside for a flight.
100% this. How does this thing fly and look in the air? I'll probably never know....

Did you know the pdf for the plans are missing more than half the pieces
Hay algun plano ? alguien lo tiene ?
FT, when's the flight video? I might be flying mine (finished the build today) before you guys. 😎
Awesome stuff
does anyone know where can i get MQ9 Predator free plans?
Why don't you publish the plans any more? We want new planes' plans!!!
D-9 variant next?
Damn these designs are getting harder and harder to make
WE. NEED YOU in. Ghana
Mantaaap
