I'm so happy i could build this with Christian, He came to me one day asking "how cute would a Micro mini Arrow be" i told him it was a terrible idea and to prove it i scaled one down and built it. We fell in love with it and couldn't stop working on this project since.So happy i work for Flite Test!
YES! YES! YES! Please make a bundle option for the Munchkin size FT planes. This is my order for one of each munchkin model.... Perfect timing for winter! Cheers guys, -Jamie
I love the RC stuff you guys do. You're obviously experts and your enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. That said, I don't think you're recognized enough for your humor, interplay and utterly amazing video production work. Every video is a well considered story, crafted into an interesting and often, amazing package. Tremendous work guys!
yes one of the 25mw all in one units on the spear would be awesome. Or if they seperated the vtx part from the camera and used wires then you could mount the cam in the front and the vtx in the wing.
+FliteTest I remember watching the very first video of Chad Kapper flying his wing in the clouds witha techno/trance tune. been watching this channel ever since. many years of awesomeness. thx Flite Test, definitely among my fav five channels on TH-cam. vlogs were a long time coming for this channel, glad you guys started it.
Guys I used to watch your videos, since there are tons of information that I can learn from you guys. But lately I noticed that it seems to be turning to a reality tv type of videos where there are lots of talking of nonsense that is not related to rc plane, sorry to say this. I would love to see the old type of videos where it is really dedicated to RC plane flying.
Roberto Miguel thanks for the feedback! You found one of our new vlog videos which is more of a day in the life at FT and or behind the scenes. Our 2 normal episodes still come out every Monday and Wednesday every week so stay tuned for those! Thanks for watching! -Alex
Roberto Miguel they chanced format because they can make more money off youtube putting out these dumb vlogs. More videos = more money thats all. I still miss pieter he was all there creativity
I would love for you guys to do a whole line of these micro series planes maybe it would cool to use these for indoor fpv flying it would cool to see that tiny spear indoor at that indoor place you guys had done episodes in the past or maybe use it for fpv flight in a small park depending of course on how stable it would be in the wind and such???This is very awesome my hat goes off to Christian&Tony for coming up with these!
I just rewatched this vlog today, since I'm on a Spear binge. I had forgotten about these awesome little guys. Any chance we'll see more of them in the future? I can understand it not being terribly feasible to sell them in the FT store, but I'd love to learn about smaller scale foam and electronics and any factors that are unique to small-scale building. This is the sort of thing that would make an awesome one-day project with the kids.
I cant imagine decking one of these out in the latest micro FPV gear will be a problem. These are actually exciting! Ive been wanting something that can scale down for a smaller space yet not at all be out of place in the wide open.
1:09 glad I'm not the only person who uses an ammo can. You may want to consider drill some holes in the top so if something does catch fire it doesn't become a pipe bomb
I love the new format of your vlog/episodes. It's really entertaining. Also, please release these micro planes! One more thing; do you guys make your own music? It sounds really great!
I just watched this awesome video. About two weeks ago, I saw the Pizza Box/Slice video, and decided to scale down a Versa to about 30%. And it's a blast! Now, I'm thinking of building a 30% DR1, Sparrow, and Simple Soarer. Where can we get the thinner foam board?
Are you guys thinking of coming out with those giga-micro FT planes? They look super cool and if you could make a super tiny firewall/power pack, that would be a whole new sort of concept- think "Pocket Planes!" Anyway, just curious.
I've watched heaps of your factual vids, most of which I have enjoyed. This one was something special. I love the excitement of a new aircraft - cardboard construction? - and the banter, joking and general arseing-about that is occurring. It helps that the glorified paper aeroplane flies beautifully :-)
That looks fantastic, great job team! Can someone clarify, as I'm a bit confused, is there no such thing as Micro (FPV) RC planes like this? A google search shows a lot of different models available..
That's really mature letting creativity happen. In the big aerospace companies they discourage this. If your guys did this at Boeing, the bosses would get all pissy because they made you "look bad."
you guys should make a non regular episode with all of the flite test sound track. the ft music is truly amazing. also, what software do you use to make it?
Best part about RC building and cheetos addiction is that cheeto fingers add cool graphics to your cardboard, and foam builds. 12 birds 1 stone, like a boss.
I need scaled down plans like right meow!!! I save all my scraps from my builds and I want to build some micro sized airplanes with them. I've been trying to design my own plane for a while now but I need a good power plant set up.
YES PLEASE make these tiny baby miracles happen! we have seen how awesomely large you guys can go, now how about how awesomely teeny you can go? also, love the VLOGS guys! Hope to see you guys at FliteFest again soon!!
Here's a thought for next foamboard wing design... How about one powered by a pair of EDF motors, something similar to a Horton 229 perhaps? Pleeez??? :D
What size Motor, ESC, Servo and Battery are you guys using to power The Micro? Have you tried throwing on a FPV system yet? I would think the cameras you guys use on the Tiny Whoops would work well...
I have been looking for something TINY like this for a long time. I have a 1104 4000KV motor and esc that would be perfect for this :) PLEASE POST MORE INFO SOON!
these micro minis are awesome get the on your website would love to buy a few especially for my little brother's to join in the fun with me it would really bring us together
Josh, it's called "throwing darts"... just thought I would try to help out by throwing that out there :-) And I wanted to mention, I love these VLogs, the "behind the scenes, scenes" are great to watch! And by the way Josh, you once again validate my claim that you can build and fly anything! Kudo's to Christian and Tony, you are two too way cool creative geniuses in my book! (y) (y)
Please make a kit for this, I would buy in five seconds.
Agreed.
I'm so happy i could build this with Christian, He came to me one day asking "how cute would a Micro mini Arrow be" i told him it was a terrible idea and to prove it i scaled one down and built it. We fell in love with it and couldn't stop working on this project since.So happy i work for Flite Test!
Tony Patton Tony!!! I can't thank you, Christian, and Dan enough! I am building your sample kits right now with my kids and they are epic!
Give Christian a BIG bonus!
Tony Patton you have blown me away I have always loved foam, hence my name, but this is incredible!
Awesome work you guys! :)
Tony Patton hi
Please sell these on the store. I WILL buy one.
Jelly Man me 2
Jelly Man me 3
Jelly Man Yes!!! :D
I second that
Jelly man me 4 :D
YES! YES! YES! Please make a bundle option for the Munchkin size FT planes. This is my order for one of each munchkin model.... Perfect timing for winter! Cheers guys, -Jamie
I think you just hit the jackpot! Get the production model in your store and you will have a hard time keeping them in stock!
please sell the micro mini planes
Sell micros !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the RC stuff you guys do. You're obviously experts and your enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. That said, I don't think you're recognized enough for your humor, interplay and utterly amazing video production work. Every video is a well considered story, crafted into an interesting and often, amazing package. Tremendous work guys!
you two are such goofballs! That micro spear could be a park flyer now. I'd love to see you put in fpv.
yes one of the 25mw all in one units on the spear would be awesome. Or if they seperated the vtx part from the camera and used wires then you could mount the cam in the front and the vtx in the wing.
Jacob Rachwal Exactly what I was thinking, that would be so sick
Jacob Rachwal a removable belly pod for the camera and/or other payload.
Kevin Finkel That would be cool.
Sell them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
exxxxactly what I want! I would totally build that wing!
It could be the lunchbox series. Maybe the kit comes in a metal lunchbox with the kit, electronics, Zip ties, pushrods etc. That would be so cool.
I so want one of those micros. If they ever go on the Graupner site you will have a happy camper.
Okay, when can those tiny planes be available at your store? The air cadets might be interested in these.
OMG, the colors in the first shot! Stunning!
I love Bixler's enthusiasm... the excitement and pure joy is contagious. God bless you brother. Micro Mini airplanes, its a beautiful thing.
Been watching for 5yrs
thanks for watching Mr. Watermelon!
me too.. :) I learned a lot in this time..
Seth Watermelon I've been watching all the way since to first episode way to keep going guys your work is impressive and encouraging
+FliteTest
I remember watching the very first video of Chad Kapper flying his wing in the clouds witha techno/trance tune.
been watching this channel ever since.
many years of awesomeness.
thx Flite Test, definitely among my fav five channels on TH-cam. vlogs were a long time coming for this channel, glad you guys started it.

FliteTest can you release a template for this?
Roberto Miguel they chanced format because they can make more money off youtube putting out these dumb vlogs. More videos = more money thats all. I still miss pieter he was all there creativity
Peter was ok but really The format works I love the vlogs its like being able to be there.....Their still releasing proper videos with reviews
hav eric if they start a new channel they would have zero subscriber's which would be zero income and they'd have to get real jobs like the rest of us
I would love for you guys to do a whole line of these micro series planes maybe it would cool to use these for indoor fpv flying it would cool to see that tiny spear indoor at that indoor place you guys had done episodes in the past or maybe use it for fpv flight in a small park depending of course on how stable it would be in the wind and such???This is very awesome my hat goes off to Christian&Tony for coming up with these!

I would love to see these in the store soon would be great for indoor flying
micro foam kits.
AWESOME !!
Shipping would be so much easier.
i think if you downgrade the battery and motor a little bit for slower speed this could be a great trainer
I forgot how beautiful Ohio is in the fall. Love the footage.
GIMMIE THAT MICRO SPEAR!!!! Seriously though I want them, you definitely have a market for those and they would be totally awesome to have!
I cant imagine decking one of these out in the latest micro FPV gear will be a problem. These are actually exciting! Ive been wanting something that can scale down for a smaller space yet not at all be out of place in the wide open.
1:09 glad I'm not the only person who uses an ammo can. You may want to consider drill some holes in the top so if something does catch fire it doesn't become a pipe bomb
What was the music at the start? It was really cool.
would love to see that really really tiny one fly
Im sorry to say Christian and I couldnt but then again we just didnt have Josh the man Bixlar there to do it!
I love the new format of your vlog/episodes. It's really entertaining. Also, please release these micro planes! One more thing; do you guys make your own music? It sounds really great!

I really need to finish my 11" Kraken, this is good inspiration!
you should make a plane series with these mini planes
Mind Blown. Tiny little Storch next!
Are you guys thinking of coming out with those giga-micro FT planes? They look super cool and if you could make a super tiny firewall/power pack, that would be a whole new sort of concept- think "Pocket Planes!" Anyway, just curious.
Get this out before Christmas!!!
Omg love those tree colors! Its autumn! 😍
I would have loved to see the tiny sea otter. Awesome work all of you

you guys should make a non regular episode with all of the flite test sound track. the ft music is truly amazing. also, what software do you use to make it?
You guys should make mini planes a new line of products. They would be very good for large indoor flying
These mini mini planes need to be in your store ASAP!! Thanks in advance!
PLEASEEEEEEE add these to the store this is the tiny whoop of wings..... just add a 798 camera and bang.
Best part about RC building and cheetos addiction is that cheeto fingers add cool graphics to your cardboard, and foam builds.
12 birds 1 stone, like a boss.
Please put it in the store. This is so boss. Love your vlog definitely will get a like
thanks for watching Usastar!
OH my gosh I got a comment replied by the amazing flight test. Are your josh Bixler
loved seeing the difference in transmitters. Shows real effects of higher end transmitters
Yes those would be awesome
That’s surely a sub 250 gram craft! I like it
i want that with fpv :D looks fun like mini quad kind of fun
And WHY are these not on the store yet!?!? :) ;) Those little guys are awesome!
Alex, do you prefer the phantom 4 or the mavic? I ask because i see that you are using the phantom more. The wider lens make so much of a difference?
It's so cool to see videos of places I grew up! And on such a popular TH-cam channel :-) Keep up the great work guys!
Stefan i Love your laugh! Laugh more!
I need scaled down plans like right meow!!! I save all my scraps from my builds and I want to build some micro sized airplanes with them. I've been trying to design my own plane for a while now but I need a good power plant set up.
Please come out with the tiny designs I really want them
Wow another great VLOG Keep up the awesome work!
This combined with a small FPV system is exactly what I'm looking for! The Tiny Whoop class of flying wings. Tiny Whoopwing? :)
Absolutely love it. Tiny planes are awesome!
tiny planes are awesome! Gotta love mini, micro planes!
S.O.
I want the mircos more then any thing else you have ever made!
The real question is can we get a guinea pig this small
YES PLEASE make these tiny baby miracles happen! we have seen how awesomely large you guys can go, now how about how awesomely teeny you can go? also, love the VLOGS guys! Hope to see you guys at FliteFest again soon!!
with sub250 becoming the law this is now needed.
MUSIC?!? PLEASE!!!
Here's a thought for next foamboard wing design...
How about one powered by a pair of EDF motors, something similar to a Horton 229 perhaps?
Pleeez??? :D
MICRO WING!!!! please, for christmas, release the blue print!
What size Motor, ESC, Servo and Battery are you guys using to power The Micro? Have you tried throwing on a FPV system yet? I would think the cameras you guys use on the Tiny Whoops would work well...
OMG.
We have micro quads, why can`t we have micro wings.
Would love to get one...
Will they be coming into the shop?
Or just plans?
you NEED to sell those!!!
These small planes should be called Titanic Tinies
Get this to the Graupner store please! Seems epic! Greetings from Germany
I gotta have one of those tiny wings... And the tri-plane Josh was working on... and that bi-plane too. You guys aren't helping my budget, lol!
That intro song made me wish my phone had bass...
Wait... what intro? This is a vlog.
Aperson same
Love the minis!!!
We need micros in all the planes, completely awesome!!!!!!!!
Awesome new format! BTW- What's the background music?
Asking myself the same, no app was able to recognize it :-/
So what's going on with this project then?
I would be really interested in Buying one of the small arrows!!
OMG I need this. put a micro fpv camera and transmitter on it
I have been looking for something TINY like this for a long time. I have a 1104 4000KV motor and esc that would be perfect for this :) PLEASE POST MORE INFO SOON!
I made a 50% arrow with a 3 inch brushless motors, and micro servos. Its sick!
Great episode. So much fun. Keep those amazing nature shots, they are beautiful!
hey flite test I had an awesome idea what if you launch the mini spear of the big spear mid flight that would be amazing! P.S great video as always.
i cant wait to buy one of those..you guys are gonna put them in the store right?
these micro minis are awesome get the on your website would love to buy a few especially for my little brother's to join in the fun with me it would really bring us together
we want this in fpv, now! we want everything you do in fpv :))))
Josh, it's called "throwing darts"... just thought I would try to help out by throwing that out there :-) And I wanted to mention, I love these VLogs, the "behind the scenes, scenes" are great to watch! And by the way Josh, you once again validate my claim that you can build and fly anything! Kudo's to Christian and Tony, you are two too way cool creative geniuses in my book! (y) (y)
Can't wait for these tiny planes, I have a beat up old parkzone mini stryker 180 waiting for a new airframe.
People in your own forums have been doing this for years :/
right on time for indoor flying, if you can get them going by the start of December :)
8:00 That would be amazing as a mini FPV wing! :D
Hey Alex, If you grow out a long beard and straitened your hair, you would look like Marco Hietala. You should totally do it!
seeing as Josh mentioned darts i think you should call the plane either ( micro flight, or micro fletching :)
I'm still looking forward to Full Scale Fridays - when is this going to happen?
Is the DX6i ,inductrix fpv , and fat shark v5 goggles good for a beginner??
awesome video these vlogs are great I love that music and the slowed down endings. As always it's a thumbs up to you guys from me :)
DAVEEYEINTHESKY thanks for watching Dave!
I want to see you selling that thin foam board and publish those plans! Also, please sell Adams colored and premium foam board!
sweet I'm in the process of making a micro delta brushed wing, love the video's
Did anything come of these micro minis? I still think about this all the time.
Hey FliteTest! Are you guys going to sell these scaled down foam pre-cuts?
Those drone shots are amazing
Awesome vlogs guys👌💯💯
Definitely a cool little plane. I want one😀
Very nice. Do you know of a beeping located to find a lost model that's light weight with good range
