Can’t believe Alan and Matt made me do this 🙄🙄🙄
Yall need to invite recklessrides out
You should’ve let George fly it😂
Alan is awesome
I love the videos cleetus!
I'm sure Alan really had to twist your arm buddy😂...
I'll say it again, George behind the camera with his commentary and laugh have made this channel so amazing.
Agreed but the close friendship bonds make it so much fun.
"Dad, what does this do?" Haha
💯 percent
It's cute that George's mom comes on here. jk I agree!
His mood is always so uplifting
Cleetus, that was an amazing day of flying! I’m so happy to have sold it to you! Can’t wait for more fly days!
😂Maybe not good for your heart. You sounded terrified most of the time. Awesome jet.
*_You guys made for an amazing video, and a supreme day of flying!!! Look forward to more in the future!!!_*
What would be the cost of this jet
Was looking for your channel after this. Hello 👋
Holy crap Matt, 47:02 was incredible. You're an awesome RC pilot. It was great meeting you today at Sarasota RC Squadron! I look forward to more shenanigans like that. Cheers brother -Mike Thompson
Now you just need to stick a POV camera in the cockpit and fly it in first person, lemme tell you... its fucking awesome!!!
Sounds badass
Great idea !
I was wondering if it could be done. It seems like it would be easier in a way, but I have only done RC cars a few times and am an equipment operator here and there so I"m used to running lifts and excavators backwards (my preferred way to walk them any distance) but with the stakes of crashing a plane, it seems like first person would be easier but also cool as hell, maybe scary.
Ohh hell yeah brother! Go pro will fit so easy!
Now all you have to do is by a second hand F-18 Hornet from the Navy, when they have a Black Friday super sale and fly it like you did the model jet ! 😂 ….. (I’m serious!)
The drone orbit around the vertically stalled jet was awesome!
Cant get enough of George behind the camera! He has been an A + addition to this channel since day 1. His commentary ,energy, and laugh make you guys a dynamic duo. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
Facts George is cool asf
For real… George is a huge W
And his camera skills are pretty great too. These flying videos are a good test of that.
George living his best life meanwhile fasterproms is putting cardboard on a smartcar..
What happened to the first guy though? I’ve never seen him again
I have to say, the drone footage next to the jet while hovering was BAD ASS!
Yes it was
Loved it.
Insane
Is there a video with thecomplete drone footage?
@@Nyabennah that would be awesome! Maybe Cleet can put up all the raw video on his second channel? I would love to see that. There has to be more.
Props to the drone pilot. I fly FPV and can appreciate how terrifying that must have been around a moving target that's very unpredictable for a quad pilot to fly proximity with.
lol i noticed how he was staying to the sides of it until he got above it too much then how quick he would bug out after seeing matt flip end over end on on a car hood length and able to bug out in any direction....that was funny " uh oh i think---see ya bye! "
Wow, good job Cleetus. I flew RC for years and that was not an easy plane even for an experienced flyer to just jump on the controls and land like that.....very nice.
That drone footage was incredible whoever is flying that deserves some props!
I see what you did there 😏
thats plane to see
Its not that difficult to do, especially if the object you are filming is basically stationary. Any reasonable FPV "drone" pilot could do that, even me. 🙂 Good light and a sunny day really helps with getting a good image too.
@@st200ol You da man!!
@@st200olI hope I grow up to be as cool as you
What a cool jet! You are living every little boy's dream! We never grow up, the toys just get bigger and more expensive.
Energy management is the same struggle in bigger planes too as you move to faster and more slippery birds. If you bounce off the runway, you have excess energy (speed). Cutting power back at the right time and nailing your approach speed is the magic that makes or breaks a good approach and landing.
This is beyond cool ! That pilot of the remote has some mad skills.
We need a jet cam ASAP, movable inside the cockpit would be awesome, a stationary one would work too
You mean POV from an FPV camera. This group clearly don't have the intelligence or responsibility to be messing with that.
@@GaijinGamerGirlCleetus can fly a Blackhawk helicopter but isn’t responsible enough to put a camera in an RC airplane. Ok.
You must have just enough brain cells to rub together, congrats. Now look at what they're doing with said plane and people in vacinity. @@aaronpreston47
Nah, a Dji O3 is damn near plug-n-play, just a little soldering for power and your good. @@GaijinGamerGirl
@@ATLASFPV it's using it safely that's the issue here.
dude pretended to be nervous then just absolutely rips the sickest moves immediately. i love it!
I felt like I needed to make an impression on the first flight!! I did do a little show boating!!
@@mattsrcking you made an impression, thats for damn sure! That was some of the craziest shit Ive ever seen 🤯 I cant even imagine how much fun that must be to fly
@@mattsrcking super fun watching you do your thing, I can tell you love it
@@mattsrcking you have some awesome skill! that was awesome to watch
He wasn't pretending, I promise you. Flying something that expensive, especially in front of an audience is nerve-wracking. I know from experience.
Hey Cleetus check out the fpv setup for those you can fly it like you are actually sitting in the cockpit and they have head tracker goggles that will let you look around with the camera so it is almost like a virtual reality headset but it’s the jet your flying so bad ass
Cleetus I have been flying rc planes and jets since 1986 and you did an amazing job flying your first turbine jet .Great job and enjoy it.
Nice shot of the wake turbulence on that first flyby with smoke..
glad cleet is flying rc in sota, this is my passion and home since the 80s, i live by the freedom factory and praying i can fly my freestyle drone around their one day without cops or problems lol keep the rc videos coming. love from sarasota
~KrispyFPV~
Got any good spots around here?
@@sneakerhead3256a ton whats ur style or preference?
nice
That’s a pretty Sick jet Cleetus. Nice flying 🤙😎
Some of the best RC jet flying on youtube! That pilot is goooood
That was like the RC equivalent of sitting on the runway, at EAA in Oshkosh, watching the show.
That dude can fly!
Are you a fellow Wisconsinite?
👍
I hope Cleet brings the Carbon Cub to Oshkosh this year
@@Dwolff1519That's what native Wisconsins call themselves? First time hearing this
@@5150_Designs haha yep it's an actual word to describe someone who has lived in Wisconsin their whole life look it up 😂
Can’t believe rip is gonna have another ripper with him soon! So crazy how cleeter manages all this and still is a family man ❤ I think I’m over done sometimes I can’t imagine him. Major props to him
That was a lot of fun to watch, now I want to learn how to fly RC plains, maybe in 10 years I will be able to fly a RC jet. Thanks Cleetus.
So many things to comment on with this video! George killed it with the camera work! That jet is INSANE! Cleet can drive or fly anything! Crazy!!!
Matt's crash at 1:55 truly is hilarious. I know nothing about flying RC jets and am SURE it's not easy. But still - that crash was comic book worthy lol.
Even knowing how painful that type of thing is, I can't stop laughing at that video.
That nose dive made me cackle. Looked saveable until it went straight down and blew up 😂
the camera man needs to film UFOs so we can finally get a proper video of one.
Yea, that and ditch the whipping around during conversations... relax!
wipe the drool off your chin
The delta wing supposedly can have a much higher angle of attack on landing than a wing with less than 30° sweep. It also generates humungus lift at those high angles.
This is only useful in landing.
But at the high angles (15-20 degrees) it also creates humongous drag. So a go around can involve a slow transition to safe climb configuration.
But something to experiment with on landing.
All the residual thrust probably makes it trickier to set up for high nose landings.
Deltas are a breed of their own.
Then with the canard, that throws in another element, which may negate everything I just said, as it controls the stall angle.
Have fun. Cool machine.
George with the one-liners locked and loaded 😂 35:50 “might not be a good idea, but it’s gonna be a good time”
The camera man is why I subbed. He has that crazy energy. Imagine having your biggest fan filming you and constantly giving you support in comments. We all should have someone like that.
God the cameraman is making me dizzy LOL
Same. I turned it off because of that. The camera person needs to slow down on the camera movements a bit.
@@sabik6979 yeah it ruins this content. Why???
Wow what a great jet! Great landing!
Fantastic video with fantastic jet.
With the awesome capabilities and handling of that jet, they should increase the scale and make them large enough for human size.
Excellent RC pilot.
41:15 this needs a dyno marlin wrap!! Literally has the pointy bill!! You could call it the red marlin because there’s already a white & blue marlin so this would make the red white & blue baaaaaabyyyyy💪🏼
All the bald eagles and you don't buy an American jet model 😢
Right? Like he can't afford it 😂
we don’t make nothing anymore! it’s all overseas 😂
@@InnocentBigWaterfall-uq7cx 🤣😂 in your dreams
@@InnocentBigWaterfall-uq7cx😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
38:50 Those are some serious fire extinguishers 😮. Makes sense I guess- if a jet goes down, you'll need those with all that dry grass around...
ol boi: "just gonna run it real quick to make it sure it's good, nuttin' fancy"
*puts on show of a lifetime*
The drone footage in the air next to the plane is awesome! Well done boys!
NICE first landing!!! 👍
Next time, try a turboprop - they have more throttle lag (at least mine does)
Wow what a master pilot!! Truly amazing guys!
Amazing RC Jet. Thanks for sharing it.
My heart almost sank, I thought he had got into a jet wash like in TopGun for a second, I thought no he's lost it, BUT the guy was absolutely show boating within the first 2 seconds...he was Maverick, Iceman and Jester all rolled into one
Aww man Cleetus what an amazing first landing! You flew it beautifuly!
39:48 "giver a nice barrel roll to mix the batteries up" LOL
George to Allan “hey dad” hahahahahahaha
Always with the best 1 liners
I'm with you Cletus on the checkered flag paint scheme!!
The drone footage was such a cool add on
Nice landing Cleetus! Bet you were loving those brakes... having a heart attack... smooth!
Outstanding and nerve wracking at the same time! That thing is amazing , looks like it will recover from anything!
Nicely flown by both of you, great job, you love to see it! Quite a step up from the ducted fan world, that's for sure. The sound of a turbojet never gets old. The title says you can barely fly it...I thought your takeoff and turnout was actually really smooth! Enjoy the hell out of that thing.
RC aviation getting the exposure it deserves 💪
That's the best-performing RC aircraft I've yet seen - of course, I give all credit to the man with the sharp eye and delicate touch.
Dude im so happy for u. its been a long time since i fly last time. but sick to see the flight went well and it gave a huge smile on my face!
I loved this segment. The flying was amazing. Thanks for sharing, this moment with us.
Really making me want to slowly get into aviation rc im going to do alot of research and studying before i even think about buying my 1st plane i own drones n a helicopter already and many basher rc cars of every size but this is a whole different horse thankyou for the inspiration cleeter n crew
Matt's got some crazy pilot skills. Good share.
Glad to see the fpv quad footage. Surprised you haven’t got into that. I picked up the hobby and haven’t looked back.
Awesome! I still had to remind myself to breathe. Thank you for sharing the first fantastic jet flying.
I'm not an RC person, I have no idea how I got here, but it makes me extremely happy that stuff like this exists :) Thanks for the show!
Man that plane is sick, the drone shots of it hovering are dope
That’s pretty awesome and the wife didn’t seem too angry. Cleetus’s son had a big smile on his face, that was cool to see. Anytime Sam, George and the rest of the crew are involved, it’s a good day.
Just incredible handling... beyond anything I'd dare to try...
Amazing guys...
this reminds me so much of the first time i flew an RC plane, everyone sweating bullets. crazy hobby to get into as a kid. awesome it can give thrills to a rad dude that races crazy fast cars.
That was a lot of fun to watch so thanks for posting your new adventure.
I think this may be the first 40+ minute video I have ever watched on YT. Jets are a whole different ballgame. I love my big ass old Horizon Beast biplane for 3D but flying my Havok is adrenaline purified. Nothing tops turbines for a rush. Also, props to the drone pilot.
Hell Yeah,Brother🇺🇸 Shoutout to the drone pilot
Cleet now has the addiction. Need to look at the EA Picaro! Super sweet jet with SPEED!
That was cool! Thank you for sharting this moment with us.
George saying Hey dad to Alan was golden 😂
What a beautiful rc jet, I wonder what colors they will repaint it in 😃
RC helicopters are also great fun to stunt!
Crazy fun power to weight ratio had that thing off the tarmac in next to nothing time and distance. That first run was like the first time watching the Blue Angels but with that “never know what Might happen” edge. Super Cool!!
Dude, I've been lurking for like 5 years. You are an inspiration!(I'm 42) The definition of living the dream. So glad you dropped out of law school. Show these young guys that dreams do come true.
Ya need the Fredom Factory Flying Aces!!!
Freedom
That thing is sick Cleetus I flew a little bit with my dad and can feel the first time flying stress Awesome job flying it. 🤠🤠🤠
we all want to see a full throttle fly by 🤣🤣
By sheer luck clicked this video tonight, and man I instantly remembered this field. My best friends late grandpa from England used to take us there as kids... Thanks for bringing back some awesome memories. Sick flying from everyone.
I saw a white RC jet in a hobby store when I was a kid and I've never forgotten it. It was my childhood dream....Amazing!!!
That was cool there Mr. Cleetus...........happy journeys!!!!!!!
Really great landing! My blood pressure was high as well when you and Matt was doing the landing.
Your videos been making me smile recently brother! Good job with the landing
the pilot up til 20:30 was frigging awesome.. thats some skilled manouvering..CUDO"S to him
Really cant wait for the month of freedom where videos get uploaded everyday not only every 2days
Man I was shaking just watching this - Great flying and a beautiful Jet mate - Well done
Jimminny freekin crickets . That had my heart pounding. Love it . Great job all around guys ! WOW !
This is really cool! Is this modeled on a real jet?? It looks like the F-16XL demo (larger F-16 intended for sustained supersonic flight via cranked delta wing). The fuselage really looks an F16, including cockpit canopy, plus the single engine and prominent intake from the nose. The canards and delta wing together resemble the twin engine Euro fighter. This RC demonstrates the agility & maneuverability that canards provide to a delta wing in subsonic/low speed regime.
Was thinking Euro/Raffaele but apparently it's a RC J-10... Not sure we get footage of any of the newer Chinese birds strutting their stuff outside of RC
This is the coolest thing I've seen yet when it comes to RC.
I’ve never been into RC aircraft but this is another level!
Impressive group of men. The skills are real.
dude, you made the best of Horizon and TH-cam. Good for you!
Its cool finding someone thats into going fast and RC like myself.
Cleet, you and George should hop in the carbon cub but have Georgy in the back seat with a remote for the RC Carbon Cub and fly in formation! Then George wouldn't have to steer as much - he could just go in a straight line and might not crash as much! 😆
but seriously, I say fly an RC plane from the carbon cub. No one will tell the FAA
Loved the camera work especially the drone shots!!! 👌🏾
wow, that's serious big 😎😎🎉🎉
Cleetus! You should look into coming to FP Truck Fest 2025 next year???
I think I had just as much fun as you guys did!!! Flipping Awesome. If I had to bet, you just lived a LOT of people’s dreams.
That hovering was clean AF 🤩
Aviation is fucking cool and RC hobbies are the only way majority of us will ever get a small taste of it. I love watching any video with people that have a passion and thrill for RC anything.
I've seen alot of planes on the channel but how about a nice turbine Heli? Maybe Airwolf? Anyway awesome first flight loved the drone footage during the hover 👍
Funny how shaky he was after that. This guy that launches 1000hp cars down a track like it's a Sunday morning drive! Just shows he appreciates what he's doing and the effort it takes to build/fly these crazy things!
That thing is insane Cletus, nice inaugural flight 🤘🤘
Definitely needs some freedom paint though.
Congratulations to your wife on her Valentine's Day gift. Hahaha
Take care,
~Jonny5🥁
Why do I like the tv plane content the most 😂 idk never flown one don’t think iv ever even seen one but it’s my new favorite vids to watch can we see ls george fly more
