I've watched this channel develop its now a culture ,and how awesome it is ..in a world of some rather unsavoury overly serious stuff ,this is pure fun , it's an RC revolution.
Living in NE Ohio, I had to look up where Malverne Ohio is .. abt 90 miles South of me .. a 2 hour drive. If I know about it in advance next year, I might take it in, as my 60+ years of RC experience might come in handy for someone. Hope you have enough video from yourselves & others to put up several more videos covering this event. Cheers.
Please do come out! It’s an event like no other. If you choose to volunteer, that expertise will be put to good use connecting people and introducing them to the world of RC flight.
i know some kid who lost his plane or one who doesn't have one, having a friend like you to help him or her make one. would be like a baby duckling being imprinted. you will have someone be a life long RC fan and continue on the experience to their family and so on. thats what happen with my father and thats what happened with me. So go for it Bill, make some younglings enjoy the hobby and continue this ritual.
That was totally crazy Josh! You guys put on such a great event and it looks like so much fun, as I know it is! Tell Peter that giant plane he made was fantastic! Y’all just bounced off it. The same for the lad who had your face plastered on the flying disc. Can’t wait to see what mayhem occurs next year! Thanks for such a great video!!
I love the way you look to include the kids. I was at the local flying field last weekend and there was only one child out with his dad. The kid, one other adult and myself flew our UMX Radians around in a "Show of No Power". The father told me the kid talked about it all night.
The most fun 4 days I’ve ever had! You guys really know how to do an event. Probably my favorite part was flying my Flex RV8 in the monster parade next to Ben Harbors C47. See you guys next year!
@JoshBixler Thank you so much for continuing to organize and put these amazing events together. My son and I have bonded over building and flying Flite Test airplanes for the last 7 years, with the Blood Baron being his all-time favorite plane to fly. Saturday, June 22 was one of my favorite days ever, flying in all three combats and having an absolute blast! - Chris in New York.
Peter did it again. The event looked awesome, I'm hoping I can make it out there next year. Thanks for recording this for those who couldn't make it. :)
To make things really crazy, I wonder if they could get Dave to come back across the water. I have never forgotten Dave and Josh in the episode "Rocket Plane"!
@@bentsprockettech I remember the "mad scientist" laughter from that episode. Dave was leading the way, but Josh was a very willing participant! And their joining together with the altered verse from Elton John's "Rocketman" just finished the CRAZY off perfectly. Aw! Memories!
I was thinking that they would designate airspace for fighting, and anything that flew out of a tight fighting zone would be targets home made anti air systems. For that to happen, someone would have to figure out how to regulate them to keep things safe.
@@buttieboy666 Don't forget apples and tomatoes as well! Get a bunch of small potatoes and make a "bird shot" out of it to give more spread. Oooooh, can't forget water balloons and golf balls! Giant slingshots, foxtails.... the foxtails might be good for fouling the propellers even if the ball of it misses....
I took a short break from this channel when I was completing my 10th and now I completed my College and all my favourite Builders are still here iam very pleased
I'm thinking either a "Spruce Goose" for next year or (to continue the War Birds theme) a monster B-29 or B-36. Should actually be fairly easy foam-board builds for the bombers since the fuselage is basically a tube.
That had me just roaring with laughter! I am so glad I found you, purely by chance too. So I've subscribed and I really hope to get out there for 2023!!
This is pretty cool. It looks like some of those long running larp events. And those Larp events have been around for a long enough time to be considered a company. Having all volunteers says a lot.
U guys need some partners in the UK to make FliteFest happen here too!! And maybe get a warehouse over here for flite test products. Love ur content as always ❤️
Ik but I wanna do my own channel gotta pay for the foam the 3d printers the electric bill to use the stuff bills period camera and equipment land and etc. It cost alot to do what they do
@@earthsciteach Still kickin n scratchin my friend. Hows the pilots license thing going? You still able to fly in this economy the way things are? I migrated away from flying for the most part. I don't feel comfortable anymore whether flying legal or not if some busy body Karen, or Jonny Law having a bad day could walk up at any given moment and cause problems. Not to mention I would NEVER support nor use RID on anything over laws that were illegally established and financially motivated for corporations in politicians pockets. Add to that different entities vying for power in the hobby partnering and promoting companies I can no longer as an American Vet ever get behind or buy into.
@@borgonianevolution I'm selling my plane to Keegan. Heading down to the airport today to give it a good bath and do a little maintenance. Haven't been doing much in the way of RC flying, either.
@@earthsciteach Awww. sorry to hear that my friend. I know you were really into that plane and getting your license. at least you know it is going to a good home and you can still have visitation every once in a while.
This year was better than lasts years but I cant wait until next year I have a feeling it just keeps getting better every year. Not even huge into flying rc throughout the year I maybe fly 100 packs through the year. 75 of those packs are flown at flitefest.
you should let some Control Line combat guys come and do a demonstration for you. Me and my dad could, but I think we're at the US Nationals when you guys have flitefest.

Nice

Hey i know this will most likely get lost, but whats a good plane to start off with?
When will you do this here in Texas again? Signed, your Texas volunteer.
I think what you do for the kids and their families is truly remarkable. Thank you for what you do. It makes me wish I was a kid again.
That's gotta be a world record for most RC planes in flight in one spot like that. Awesome seeing all that chaos in the air.
Only 13 minutes? C'mon we need more of this crazy goodness!

Man I live in malvern and had no idea till last year!🤣
I had to look up the location, too. I may volunteer next year
I live a little over 6 hours away and my wife and I go just to volunteer. I guarantee you will have a blast!

@@ronfullerton3162 "I always wanted to try it." My favorite words. LOL Indeed, They need to have David bring the rocket plane to one of these.

Great to see so many people enjoying RC flying, and at the same time!
amazing event.. had the time of my life .. drove from Massachusetts and was so worth it.. cant wait for next year
The drone pilot that did the camera work to give everyone a great view of that crash should get a metal 👌
Sick flying🤙
indeed.... Metal..**
@@anshul24081993 pun intended 😜
By next year we will have to get a 21st century air battle going with some active Sam sites and air to air missiles!

How will remote id effect flitetest and flitefest going forward?
@@jefffox8991 they will probebly be classed as an RC airfield with special privileges exemptions..
That's an event that is going to keep growing! 😉
I'll never go there, i think it is rubbish 😐
@@MrSimonw58 Why bother to say that, unless your trolling? Lame.
@@MrSimonw58 weak bait…
@8:00 the flying Turtle was spectacular! The backflips close to the ground made me gasp!
Thanks, darling. Lots of fun and positive emotions. From Ukraine.
I took a short break from this channel when I was completing my 10th and now I completed my College and all my favourite Builders are still here iam very pleased
I want you guys to make a clip for 1 hour.I really like watching you guys.You guys are highly creative and imaginative.♥️🤘👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That plan with Josh's face is hysterical 🤣🤣
I'm thinking either a "Spruce Goose" for next year or (to continue the War Birds theme) a monster B-29 or B-36. Should actually be fairly easy foam-board builds for the bombers since the fuselage is basically a tube.
Dude a B-36 would be amazing. Not a common airplane in the RC world
this is the best hobby a kid can do and than with a hobby group have these giant battles
I'm from São Paulo Brazil, and next year I'll be there! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
That Flirkin Ram attack was a perfect WWII replica German Sonderkammando Elbe style. I LOVE IT!!!!
If I ever make it to a Flite Fest in the future I have plans for a hyper-maneuverable 3D TV combat jet that can survive combat!
Props to the drone pilot who followed the flerkin into the ground.
That’s Michael Bixler. :)
@@FliteTest makes sense :)
Love you guys! Love what you're doing, keep on living the dream!
you should build 25 ft B-17 and drop rubber ducks from it
2023 will be the year of micro rc SCALE planes!
These large scale replicas are some of my favorites
Year of the Giants indeed.
10:27 As they say. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
Great work! It's a 10h+ drive from Montreal... really wish I could bring my kids to see this. you guys are amazing
That had me just roaring with laughter! I am so glad I found you, purely by chance too. So I've subscribed and I really hope to get out there for 2023!!
Loved your synopsis of Flite Fest and wish you continued success.
Awesome event 🔥 Hope to make it next time ✌️
YES THE FULL LENGTH INTRO! Oh and amazing recap!
This is pretty cool. It looks like some of those long running larp events. And those Larp events have been around for a long enough time to be considered a company. Having all volunteers says a lot.

I'd love to see a tiny rc crawler such as the SCX24 crawling around on the top of a plane as it flies!
Please do a foam cutter plane, maybe a flying wing. It would be so cool seeing a bunch of those trying to chop off parts of larger planes
Brilliant it's all about having a good time thank you so much you guys 🇬🇧
fooks SOOO FUN guys!!
Looks like a great time. Way to go Ohio.
The Floppy Jet looks like the DarkStar from Top Gun 2
Im from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 nice event sir✈️✈️✈️🙏🙏🙏
What fun, and great participation! I fly RC helicopters......with loads in fixed wing time....no 'copter rating. Thank you! Shared!!!
Hurray for combat!
Well what was the last plane left? Why don't you show that? Had me waiting to see.
I remember my first time going to flight fest, so amazing!
Looks like another successful event. I really love the footage from the chase drones that gives such a close up view of what's happening up there.
You guys really know how to do an event, welldone
I love the way the turtle "flew"(?).
This is amazing 👍
I am new to RC Planes, I need that shirt! "I made this" Since I started into this hobby, I have a relationship with bandages.
I wish I had the money and tools and skills to build planes like yall
You don't need much and you can get help, that's the idea
Ik but I wanna do my own channel gotta pay for the foam the 3d printers the electric bill to use the stuff bills period camera and equipment land and etc. It cost alot to do what they do
Yes! Recaps are back!
I am always a bit disappointed over never seeing a flying doghouse with a beagle on ;)
next up the spruce goose!
Can’t wait to go next year
You guys should make a full Size WWII Link Trainer out of foam that can fly.
I wish we had something like this in 🇬🇧
We love the giants! What is the limit to how HUGE one can make a foam plane?
the kid with the face of bixler on the nutball was my friend jack haha
That was totally crazy Josh
I got one simple question, can you put king of weapons in the planes for the final battle???
I've always admired tanks. They are very a-track-tive ;)
That was fun to watch.
Apearance is everything!
I'm so sorry I couldn't make it this year! I'll be there next year ready to work!
PAT!!!!! Long time no see old friend!! This is Psyborg on the new channel.

Oshkosh/Airventure of the electric RC world!
If the rest of the world would be like you people ..
My dream of World peace would be reality 😉🏆
Thanks to believe me in the future again 😊
IDEA: Scale aircraft carrier landing and catapult
This looks like so much fun
Living in Australia wishing I could’ve been there 🥲
Those are so cool!
I love the chaos in battle
this was too much fun , nice video
That looks like so much fun!
If you remember the power up 4.0 you should do another collab, because I've got a plane idea. The f-4 phantom!
Great brotherhood!
that looks like so much fun
Yahooooooo!
Man this was soooooo awesome lol
“Thatssss crrruunchyyyyy”
That looks like fun
It looks like a giant flat Park Zone F-27 Striker
This year was better than lasts years but I cant wait until next year I have a feeling it just keeps getting better every year. Not even huge into flying rc throughout the year I maybe fly 100 packs through the year. 75 of those packs are flown at flitefest.
Truly amazing!!
please make a Lancaster bomber for all your tea drinkers across the sea
Oh! I’ve been waiting for this!
you should let some Control Line combat guys come and do a demonstration for you. Me and my dad could, but I think we're at the US Nationals when you guys have flitefest.
Great show!
Amazing fun. Wish the RAF had been like this when i was flying...lol.
I thought I saw a pink Gamera! (Flying Turtle)
8:57 Dudes rock
We need one on the west coast! I'd love to attend something like but Ohio is too far for me!
Always, the best!!
That looks like all had a ton o fun
Fantastic stuff!!
