First off im a huge fan (been watching 2013). ok so I told my school about you guys, then the bought a bunch of easy gliders for us to build then they called you AND we are going on a field trip to flite test on the 12th or 13th! see yall then and cant wait for flite fest again
You should shop the B-17 or some version of it to the USFS they using pong ball filled with a combustible mixture to start back fires to create a barrier to the 🔥 .
I wonder. For the bomb make like a air pocket in the front, so that when it hits the ground gravity will force the air backwards thought a narrow opening( like a ball nozzle) and blow the powder out the back. So basically a Large pipet. Amazing plane and video!
Our local Commemorative Air Force wing has an annual open house, where they drop pumpkins out of their B-25. You could easily drop a small pumpkin out of your B-17. 😊
Back in the 70's, I designed and built a nine-ft R/C with a bomb bay big enough to hold and drop 2 ltr plastic bottles of water. When they hit, the water would virtually disappear, leaving scraps of extremely stretched plastic behind. This was done in the desert; anyplace else would be too hazardous.
OH! got another idea, tangential to the "bomb". If you add modern R/C telemetry... you have added 2 new dynamics to the classic egg drop contest in science class. First, a dimensional limit from the bomb bay. Second, the designer gets to choose how high/fast they want to drop their egg!
you should put in two live feed cameras, one for the pilot and one for the bombardier, and also put in two led panels for the front windows to make them look like eyes
May I suggest a tube inside the bomb with holes around the front end and a piston of sorts in the rear end. Talc would fill around the tube and on impact the piston would force air from the front of the tube displacing the talc out the rear. Maybe even create some extra vents between the fins of the bomb for a better spread of the talc.
How to egg your neighbors from 500ft. OR... glitter or confetti drops, LED lights or glowsticks on parachutes or ribbons for night time fun, maybe some paper helicopters? a scaled up giant one would definitely carry a pumpkin for Halloween drops.... or a jack-o-lantern with a strobe in it on a parachute?
Love it! Already have mine but haven't started the build yet. I'm a little concerned about tearing off the bomb bay doors landing on my grass field. I think I want to look into designing an open/close mechanism for the doors.
You should Revisit the guided bomb video, make a giant bomb that a friend can control, design it to fit In the XL. Version maybe do a contest with the whole flite crew to see who can get closer to the target?
It would be cool to put a little chute in the bottom of the bomb bay so that only one golf ball could come out at once, so that they get released sequentially, rather than all at once.
Maybe look at a pull rope system on a linear actuator to close the doors after the drop. Also, put a carton or something inside the bay and gradually fill with sand to find both the flight load limit and the doors load limit.
Cut that bomb in half, 3D print a joiner ring that fits the internal diameter and glue in in one side, then the two halves can be pressed together but will split apart on impact.
Add this: FPV camera facing straight down, second person acts as "Bombadiere" see how fancy you can get by knowing altitude and airspeed 'calculate' when to drop
Make the bomb in two pieces that telescope one inside the other. One it would make it easy to load, and two when the bomb hits the ground it would compress length ways and spray out the contents.
Take a small balloon fill it up to breaking point. Ad a pin, to the inside front of the bomb. Cover the pin with foam. Not to much you want the pin to puncture the balloon at impact. Then you put your baking soda, baby powder, flour or what ever you wish In a tube, toilet roll between the balloon and the flap. Impact, pop goes the balloon and all that air needs somewhere to go, the flap being the only way.
Just got a turbo timber evolution. First big plane I have ever had. Actually it gets here on Friday. Wondering if you could build one of those opening doors on it? I also have a slow ultra stick and it would be really cool to put some mods on it.
On the Rustoleum 2X if it doesn't dry quick enough just clear over it with 2X and it will make it dry fast. For the bomb just make the flap wider opening. Maybe make the bomb itself with thinner sidewalls. How about real thin sidewall with a big spring inside that will let the Bomb collapse. Maybe flexible dryer vent pipe with your nose and tail you have.
Id still like to see you drop an rc helicopter from a plane simmiller to what you did with the Guinea pig and the Punjet and im sure an XL tubby would do it to
maybe 3d print a bomb nosecone that would spray glue to a balloon filled with a mix of powder and air. Design a sharp protrusion on the edge so when it hits the ground inertia will cause the balloon burst.
lol fill the tubby bomb with caesium and water separated by a thin membrane, and seal the bomb, separating the cavities. When it hits the ground the pressure will unseal the cavities and make it go boom
Worthy of a Quarter teaspoon of 1F & a 209 shotgun primer, common nail & chambered in a carboard tube . Big boom , plently White smoke . Rotten egg smell a plus . ( Your results may vary. )
@FliteTest i still think you should do Air to air combat with airsoft! maybe you could have a fleet of B-17s and some fighters or just a dogfight between a BF-109 or FW-190 and a P-51 or Spitfire!
Congratulations with your second honeymoon! Enjoy to the utmost, because the next phase is “grandparents” and you be looking after babies 😂 enjoy! Blessings.
Thank you, brother. Time has gone so fast and we consider ourselves truly blessed to have some amazing daughter-in-law’s. It’s also wonderful to get to pursue and date my wife all over again. What a great new chapter!
for the 100 inch version you could drop a bunch of different fruits and call it a "fruit salad bomb run" but for this version I would like to see you drop as many grapes as it can hold and still fly

You need to add the whistle sound from nerf howler to the tubby bomb be cool for a added sound effect
That’s an awesome idea!
Surely you could design a whistle into the bomb print. A short travel plunger could be implemented to get the “poof” of powder on impact.

Drop little parachute Army guys.
@@CharlieRice-eq5hb that be a cool idea to do

Great to see FT still around and pushing the hobby!
Pretty cool to see your designs come to life. Pretty innovative.
Make a good candy dropper for a halloween party

When they hit, the water would virtually disappear, leaving scraps of extremely stretched plastic behind. This was done in the desert; anyplace else would be too hazardous.
You guys are having just too much fun🤩
You guys are absolutely the best!
Ok, did anyone notice the cool lookin' plane on the desk behind Dave when they were looking at the bomb? I hope that thing comes out soon.

The big version should drop a rc parachute man with a 360 cam on it.
Cleetus loves planes! Just sayin
How did you comment an hour before the video
You should Revisit the guided bomb video, make a giant bomb that a friend can control, design it to fit In the XL. Version maybe do a contest with the whole flite crew to see who can get closer to the target?
Love that idea!!! Maybe on the xl version. ;)
Or a mini b17 that flies out of the xl bay
I thought for sure we'd see Coach Bombay show up.
You know its a good day when flite test uploads!
That means the world to us!!!
If the bomb was made of thinner or softer material, it would help push the powder out more when it hits the ground and compresses more.
lol.. Mustang bomber looks good 👍
Most funny and cool plane I’ve ever seen
now I
really want one of these
Jealous of those paint jobs.
As smooth as cake icing.
Great job guys- can you do another paint along video?
4:13 i don't think that was the clip he was talking about...There is one that legit makes a poo when it falls and it is super funny 😂
I’d like to see you guys make a toony B-29 and then drop a rocket-propelled RC Bell X-1.
You could use a soft bubble nose to push air thru it with something like a big primer bubble on small gas engines. Weedeater, lawnmower etc.
Very well made cartoon planes.
It would be cool to put a little chute in the bottom of the bomb bay so that only one golf ball could come out at once, so that they get released sequentially, rather than all at once.
The tubby bubbies need to whistle
Maybe look at a pull rope system on a linear actuator to close the doors after the drop. Also, put a carton or something inside the bay and gradually fill with sand to find both the flight load limit and the doors load limit.
a puppy in a tubby!!!! cutie overload!!!!!!
Stepahn is the best plaen thrower out there! ;-) Nice plane you have there!
And he can sing 😊
I totally agree!
Cut that bomb in half, 3D print a joiner ring that fits the internal diameter and glue in in one side, then the two halves can be pressed together but will split apart on impact.

I'm bringing my FT Tubby B17 to Edgewater Saturday !
Can’t wait to fly with you!
Soften paint balls drop em.

Impact, pop goes the balloon and all that air needs somewhere to go, the flap being the only way.
Now add support tubby fighters P47s P51 or an A36
Need to design and make a tiny one with an EDF motor in it so it can be like Little Johnnie Jet from the old Tex Avery cartoon.
Absolutely fantastic!
Just got a turbo timber evolution. First big plane I have ever had. Actually it gets here on Friday. Wondering if you could build one of those opening doors on it? I also have a slow ultra stick and it would be really cool to put some mods on it.
Lets see a 40 ft version
Awesome flitetest can't wait to see the big version ❤
You guys should make some whistling bombs to drop out of your giant tubby bubby B-17!
I wonder if we dissect a Nerf football and take out the whistle if that would work?
An upside down pez dispenser? Push out a stack of quad drones?
Smoke? Glitter? little igniting smoke bombs?
@@JorgeLausell I think they where going for the atom bomb effect lol
Can’t wait to get one
On the Rustoleum 2X if it doesn't dry quick enough just clear over it with 2X and it will make it dry fast. For the bomb just make the flap wider opening. Maybe make the bomb itself with thinner sidewalls. How about real thin sidewall with a big spring inside that will let the Bomb collapse.

You know whats awsome i saw it there im in the group of people
Id still like to see you drop an rc helicopter from a plane simmiller to what you did with the Guinea pig and the Punjet and im sure an XL tubby would do it to
Also... congrats on hitting 2.15mil!!❤🎉🎉 I know it was a while ago already but I keep forgetting to say so
Baseballs or softballs for the XL drop. Although you MIGHT be able to get one softball in the current small bomber.
maybe 3d print a bomb nosecone that would spray glue to a balloon filled with a mix of powder and air. Design a sharp protrusion on the edge so when it hits the ground inertia will cause the balloon burst.
add a slotted door on the side of the bomb wall , it will flap open on impact
nurf rocket gatling gun?
self igniting rockets? Nets? a bunch of gliders?
Love those 'planes.
Thanks!!!
lol fill the tubby bomb with caesium and water separated by a thin membrane, and seal the bomb, separating the cavities. When it hits the ground the pressure will unseal the cavities and make it go boom
Flying replicas of existing planes is one thing but turning them into odd looking toys is just strange. Maybe for Romper Room?
A fun little plane to play with.
I know we'll see pumpkins being dropped on a target in the next one. Closest one wins pumpkin pie!
That sounds both fun and delicious!!!

6:00 me too!
Lancer Tactical Airsoft M433 HEDP 40mm Dummy Grenades (Pack of 3)
Congratulations with your second honeymoon! Enjoy to the utmost, because the next phase is “grandparents” and you be looking after babies 😂 enjoy! Blessings.
Loving every minute of this new chapter. Thank you so much. :)
You made the B-17 dropping the PE-8 5k bomb
There are something interesting at 4:24. (behind the back)
@@Henryhurry yeah, I noticed it also 😁
I can't believe you didn't drop the Dave bombs. On paper tanks....or foam tanks..
Drop the boom bombs bro.
Hatchery. Nice
ow we thought about it 😁 maybe a future episode
Love it guy's, I would never miss a new video!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Drop water balloons again but fill up the bomb bay. Test the max weight that this plan can carry.
"You got chickens"
I genuinely thought they were going to drop a live chicken.
you drop should drop snap pops
That would sound so cool! How many do you think we could fit in there?
You could probably fit a couple of hundred if not more?
It’s almost Halloween. Drop some dead stuff. Candy. Bones. Little skeletons. Etc🖤
Halloween is coming, drop some pumpkins. Or make some gliders that look like bats
We should do that at Hallowings this weekend at Edgewater
Wow I've been watching your channel too long. Both boys married! Congrats and enjoy the next chapters.
Thank you, brother. Time has gone so fast and we consider ourselves truly blessed to have some amazing daughter-in-law’s. It’s also wonderful to get to pursue and date my wife all over again. What a great new chapter!
Operation Dumbo Drop, but in this case Dumbo is an elephant-shaped quadcopter
Looks like a 5 engine A-1
Nice video ❤
Get the foam darts and put a golf ball in the nose of each dart or print up ten 500lb small bombs that should be fun
Make a giant plane that folds and fits in the bomb bay. Big plane drops a big plane
😂😂😂
I imagine if they built some homemade powder bomb
for the 100 inch version you could drop a bunch of different fruits and call it a "fruit salad bomb run" but for this version I would like to see you drop as many grapes as it can hold and still fly
It looks very summer to a c-124 globemaster.
Drop a melon or pumpkin!
I'd love to see some r/c skydivers.
Maybe an DIY RC Skydiver
*Correction... "Little Plane DECOY bombs - FT Tubby B-17 - Will it drop" See what I did there, no clickbait, everyone's happy.😄😄😄
Maybe ilthe big bomb splits in half and the baby powder goes everywhere.
EGGS !!!!!
Plastic Easter eggs with powder in them
Brilliant!!!!
Two and a half words: Spring-loaded piston.
Shooting dogs into the sky is a bit russian dude lol jokes, great video guys 😊
the water balloons were cool, brussle spourts are biodegradable. bags of cornstarch hopfull will have " Poof "effect
Great idea!
Could you post the size of the bomb bay? So we can model a design for a bomb?
There you are!
Try fire place ashes for smoke in the bomb
That would make a cool smoke effect!!!
Nice👍
maybe some small gliders
