[@Skydive4ever]

Josh, I think it's time you revisit the oldies and rebuild them with today's tools/materials/electronics and your present of knowledge of buiding :-) PS Been here since day one and still loving this :-)

[@mareky1234]

Great idea I fully agree

[@mattmcguire348]

+1 been here since the beginning, you guys rock!

[@marselmuhamadsusanto3664]

[@TylerOstergaard]

[@EllenN2003]

[@cjoe5977]

IKR I’ve been here since day 1 almost exactly I remember when they hit 1000 subs

[@Minutemman]

Its been sometime since the good old crazy Flite Test.

[@ChadKapper]

I still have the Fowl Flyer wing in my attic! 😂

[@MazdaMiata-gt8kw]

Hi Chad!! How’s your day?

[@2strokeme64]

The salmonella soarer?

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Chad Kapper lol

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

2stroke Me .

[@jim-stacy]

Ah memories... i miss dave windestall. Specifically his afterburner vampire. That sounded amazing. Bring it back! Also how about a fpv glider return from high altitude ballon drop?

[@the_og_scootkentwest7495]

Josh should revisit all the big builds.

[@nesyboi9421]

I'm glad you guys went back to the old music for this nostalgic video. keep up the good work!

[@4thGloryMonday]

Josh said it himself. i was there to see the 1st cinder block fly and i wanna b here to see the next. flying brick v2

[@steelrainfpv3383]

I'd like to see more of these old school video highlights, and what ever happened to TJ?

[@hansdegroot9300]

Would be Nice When this Covid stuff is over to have all old Guys back in a kind of celebration broadcast.

[@Deus_ex_Machina1]

Who thinks they should do a flying cinder block MK2?

[@galahad626]

mk2 more like 2 bricks

[@Defender9432]

With MONSTER motors!

[@cjoe5977]

Put there motors to the test lol

[@rayphillips4514]

Hard hats required! Lol

[@franks_nl]

A toaster, a blender, a microwave... My challenge to you: You should build a flying kitchenette.

[@msj143]

I missed Joshua Scott. Kindly please extent my warn regards to him and his family. Stay safe everyone.

[@jonconway912]

What happened to him?

[@hiltonwhen4365]

I would love to see these revisited. it's so satisfying watching those planes land.

[@garrettsteele8478]

Man, your channel got me into rc airplanes and scratch building them when I was nine

[@EldarKinSlayer]

As God is my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly.

[@balthazar8057]

Wild turkeys can fly. I've seen them.

[@typxxilps]

David Windesthal was a lot of fun to watch what he could bring out of his head on the table. Great time with Josh too.

[@dronieproductions3191]

I subbed!

[@samuellooper849]

Me 2

[@ChadKapper]

So many amazing memories! Thank you for this :)

[@outdoorlife5285]

Y’alls video on flight test Are so cool I’ve been watching y’alls videos for years but I have an idea y’all should build a DC three plane

[@laterthatsameday1]

I enjoy the “can we make it fly” videos.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

OMG Please bring these back!!! 😁😁😁😎 I know.... Progress and all. But I've been a fan since the BEGINNING. I loved the early zanyness!! Even more than today. The raw ambition of some of those projects!! Would they even let Windestäl BACK INTO THE COUNTRY today??? 😲 Stay SAFE guys!! 😷 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@TheBangersnSmash]

Funny how they talking like it was a long time ago 45 years ago i was cutting balsa pinning plans and doping tissue really enjoyed the footage thanks

[@kinkong1961]

I remember watching the flying cinder block and was amazed at the time as I thought no way would it lift off it did to my surprise I cheered out loud and scared the hell out of my wife lol.she thought I had a fit or something and I saw the smoothy one too I never missed one I suppose I was an early subscriber when you first started out. Please please could you bring back David as a guest he was so good it would be so nice to see him again and for him to see how far you guys have come in such a short time you guys got me back into flying again as I lost faith when I pile driver mine into the ground and destroyed it completely with foam it's so easy to rebuild a super cool idea and it works so well.all the best john from rugby UK.

[@Timberwolf69]

I love seeing these old projects in this condensed manner with you reminiscing about what was going on in that time. I hope there will be more to follow. As a relatively new subscriber (probably for the last 200 - 400 vids or so), I was always intimidated by the sheer amount of vids you already had. And with these videos, I am able to follow you around, back in time, and see these crazy projects with some background information.

[@onwardsdown1294]

When you get the chance I would really like to see a b 26 bomber my great grandfather flew it in world war 2 and it would be great to build or just see I love this channel and I hope you guys are doing alright in this crisis

[@DoItYourselfDad]

These were the episodes that first got me hooked on Flite Test and got me back into the hobby! My daughter and I went to Flite Fest West, we even have a video of it on our channel, one of the most fun things the two of us have done together. She still proudly displays her girl gremlin stickers in her room and talks about it.

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Yeeeeessss sweat Nostalgia. *PUMP IT INTO MY VEINS*

[@sasdthoh]

OK Guys, the question has to be asked to honor the TRUE memory of FliteTest. Where is Josh Scott and what is he up to these days ??? Thanks! Paul ( sasdthoh )

[@matthewdecker6232]

I am very interested to know too. I started watching these videos when I was 11 or 12 and I thought Josh Scott was the coolest and goofiest guys ever.

[@toddcrim7012]

Have you guys tried to build a working core fighter from gundam?

[@winterfox9947]

This will probably never get seen but they should build a ju 87 D2 with the air siren like the ones during the war and make it so that they can dive bomb

[@benjaminjohnson6476]

Maybe revisit some old builds and make them better like the cybderblock plane

[@darrencampbell3107]

Hi flite test I’m looking to get in to the hobby I’ve been looking at lots of difrent planes but I can’t decide witch one is the best choice I have some stick time on the blade 230 and on a dji There’s lodes of planes available but after watching your beginners series I kind of know what to look for but I’m still unsure And I’m pretty sure that lots of people would benefit from you guys making a video recommending the best up to date beginner plane I would really appreciate some help thanks

[@flyingpancake3983]

@flite test can you come out with a 185% ft elements firewall please?

[@FreshApple_]

You should build a b2 bommer and try to bomb the target with rubber duckies

[@panexplosivoh3113]

Hey when did the spitfire crash?! I watched the video and it doesnt crash!?

[@volvoc3013]

Petition for them to build the Animal crossing plane

[@CodyHovland]

Make the "Rebuild" series were you rebuild old projects! Be sure to link the original project so you get some two for one action with those views!

[@jackson2210]

Look at the little streamer. I didn’t even know I had it! - David

[@ArcticRc]

I have been a subscriber for about 10 years and still i have a great time when a new upload arrives. Keep up the good work.

[@ryano.8768]

It was about time that you guys made this compilation :)

[@JacAug]

I MISS JOSH SCOOOOOOOOOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was hilarious! You should bring him back for some special episodes!!!!

[@ismailshahnawaz4976]

You deserve 10million subscribers😍😍

[@TheEverydayShopperReview]

As a new subscriber this was awesome. The evolution of your channel is inspiring. !!

[@michaelraw8299]

If I had wanted to be safe Ida joined the Coast Guard!!

[@lucasfournier4822]

Revisit the flying cinder block

[@lanesilva9234]

After corona you should make a surf board fly

[@redkb]

Such good memories!

[@sigee32]

Bring back the other Josh even if its just for one video.

[@blackswordshinobi]

nice remember some of the aircraft u did thumb up

[@AJFunke-sb4wc]

you need to do a rebuild of all these with what you know now and what you can make with your new equipment cause these are awesome man

[@7HeadsCustoms]

Absolutely love this!! I’m a new subscriber and this helps me understand where you came from, looking forward to part 2!!!

[@jaymoge]

I have a question... With the CG being so important why hasn't anyone created an adjustable CG... I'm imagining a long threaded (carbon fiber, vinyl, or neoprene) rid spanning the length of where you may need to adjust it. On a reversable motor that turns the shaft and moved a heavy threaded "nut" or weight and moves it to and fro... hence adjustable CG... Name it after me lol...

[@Qromer]

Thanks for the walk through memory lane. I remember watching the first episode after seeing it posted on RCGroups. Can't wait for part 2.

[@rcflier9026]

Just got the email that my mini firewalls and c motors shipped today!

[@Quad66]

Fun video guys, my son and I enjoyed it! Love the kit planes. We have a Tiny Trainer kit arriving today according to tracking.

[@jakob_cubing]

who would like to see an monster sized kraken?

[@MoiraOBrien]

When I first subscribed I spent hours going back and watching all these old videos - so much fun.

[@lochlanwhite7437]

Bring back Josh scott

[@brokeradius1373]

This was the best video ever

[@imnotsure6618]

U guys need to bring the trash planes back and start making more of them!

[@stevengonzalez4111]

Hey guys, I hope I can explain this right. Totally unrelated topic but I have an Immersion 180 Vortex. I’m ok as a “line of site” flyer but am still learning. I’m trying to better control my throttle, orientation and overall smoothness. In saying this, the 180 is still too fast for my comfort zone and need to down the speed. I’m basically trying to turn it in to a beginner’s quad, to be more docile. It flies a custom XNova 1407-3500kV motors and 4 inch props using a 3s 850 mAh- 45c battery. I've heard of Throttle or Motor Scaling. I think it's also called "throttle cap" I'm using a Spektrum DX8 and wondering if that's possible. Do you have any suggestions? I appreciate any help in this matter, thanks, Steve P.S. Bring back the Bat Bone.

[@semperparatus3685]

Josh I love you and we're like family...Having said that YOU LOOK LIKE AN ESCAPED CON IN THAT SHIRT!!! (Ref Flying Brick)

[@joshua10pool]

REDO THE CINDER BLOCK BUILD!!!! Also make a series of for revisiting old OG flitetest planes

[@michaelhickam7774]

I love seeing the old stuff you guys taped before I discovered your channel. I want to build a big FT Cruiser myself, but I want to use the Power Pack. "C twin" for power. What ratio does everyone think would be realistic? I'm thinking something around 145- 150%. Any and all input appreciated.

[@DavidDeLuge]

Great to catch up on the history of the channel. I've been following for around the last six years.

[@maurobobo6923]

Hey guys! You won't believe me, but since few days I've been started re-watching all the old episodes! One of my favorites has to come: WC!!! 😅 When I built my first plane, was quite cute, but ugly to flight, so I named it "flying wc"! Pending for new episodes of this serie!!! 💪🏼

[@ruthdoyle9085]

U should invent a Norden type camera bombing sight for RC... also computerized acrobat, pattern, landing and evasive maneuvering software and hardware...

[@kevinfinkel5536]

The design of the wing for the Toaster plane looks reminiscent of the Kraken.

[@cjoe5977]

Kevin Finkel it was supposed to be

[@joshuacooprider2737]

Hey! FliteTest! I am wanting to build an FPV airsoft drone and I am going to use the P-90 that you guys use in the "A-10 Warthog VS Tank - Epic Airsoft Battle" video. I was wondering if there would be any way that I could have access to the 3D file that was used to connect the gearbox to the barrel. Thank you for your time.

[@penguinscanfly535]

Flying Boxcar!!!!!! Pleeeeaaaaase!!! We need a speed-build-kit-flying-boxcar!!!

[@fredericrike5974]

Was a real fan of Davids; I do not know why he left, nor why what little he has produced since doesn't mention Flite Test, and this was one of the few times you've mentioned him. What happened to Dave? His creativity and humor, the many colored "hand jive" pointers he used to indicate attention points: Josh, Guys, you are all great in a special way, but I miss David- What did happen? BTW, it's been 11 months since he last downloaded for YT- I don't do the social media thing, period. I was probably an "unsolicited" beta tester for the "Internet Research" Bureau" in Moscow in '11, so I have "left that building" and have no desire to return. But I would much like to hear David OK and fizzing and starting in Svedish at some new idea! Rebuilding most of them, taking advantage of your more recent material and skills, ought to be awesome- comparos vs the OB's (original builds), maybe have some of Flite Test's many "past brothers" in as guests for specific projects?

[@mikeb4375]

Miss the original intro music, miss that old tower, and miss David Windestal. I know we cant have it all back but maybe the Intro Music PLEASE!!!!!!!

[@echobeefpv8530]

FANTASTIC !!! Thanks , and yes, please, more !!! We all need a little relaxing and fun videos that have nothing to do with what's up right now.

[@MasboyRC]

This is awesome !!

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

Great Recap Of Past Early Years, I Totally Enjoyed It & Would Defenitly LUV For Y'alls To Make More!!! Thanks

[@mikeaninger7388]

So many of us miss the old days. This is great guys! My first video was the AirHogs X-Wing review, which I got for my friend, then bought for myself, and then found you guys! Now I'm crazy for the hobby,. Thanks so much for all the inspiration!

[@assago1]

Been watching since the early days! I remember when these all came out! Love it! Keep this series coming!

[@mikeupton5406]

I still laugh about Alex asking Josh "how's the glideslope?" And a winged mail box PLUMMETS to the ground at the dirt pile field. It's not logical at all but something about that just cracks me up.

[@Chilternflyer]

I'm stuck at home resurrecting and old RCExplorer tricopter. We want David back :-( (They were good times.)

[@michaelhickam7774]

Great video! I've only been a subscriber since March, so I've missed a lot of projects. Why not do a series on early FT speedbuild development for some of us latecomers? Keep up the great work. Someday, I plan on a visit to Edgewater for a flying vacation😀, or travel to make a Flight Fest. See y'all sometime!

[@pnorgate]

Bring back Josh Scott, David and Peter for a BIG project build that all of you work on. Each bringing their speciality element to the build. That would be epic.

[@emc2184]

Watching that Turkey fly, ..... I thought, why did you not put googly eyes on the turkey, ..... THAT would have looked funny.

[@WPGinfo]

Great to see these 'highlights' again. I remember quite a few! I feel these less slick projects had -and still have- an extra element to them for me. Ironing out the wrinkles over the years may give a smooth result; It also takes out the personal, idiosyncratic, and uniqueness of self-builds!! That's why I don't like buying planes so much... I want to fly something I built, even if it sometimes flies like a breezeblock or is built using one! Hence I refer to my planes as being from 'garbage airlines'; Since the trash bin is a great source of materials and inspiration. Keep up the good work! Stay safe & healthy. Willem.

[@tracybillingsley2648]

Great video! Loved going down memory lane. I remember each of these projects (including the Blender). I think it would be really interesting to re-attempt some of these projects with all of your new knowledge/experience and resources. Point out some of the challenges and shortfalls of the past and how you address them today. I miss Josh Scott, he was fun. He also did a good job of representing "the new guy" to the hobby.

[@wattwaster5936]

This works for me, but I am an old guy who likes to remember past events. No doubt you guys could redo more than a few dozen projects, going bigger, smaller, or something odd and inbetween. I would encourage remakes with improvements most newer RC builder/pilots could mimic without needing a bank loan. What about recycling RC parts projects that won't hurt all that much for those still suffering from a lack of income? Maybe some trash recycling builds?

[@hoverbotfpv1425]

The first years were some of the best diy goofing around episodes ever.Creative budgets regular people could duplicate. Maybe do a flashback Alex Greeves interview video and how VAS pioneered FPV antennas?

[@ericschori5519]

I'd love to see a Cinderblock II project at some point. Seeing those clips brings back some great memories of videos with Josh Scott, David W, and Peter Sripol from the early days of FliteTest.

[@dr.loopinglooie5748]

@FliteTest I would love to see you revisit the early speed build kits! Viggen, Spitfire, Guinea Pig, Bloody Baron, Bushwacker, Sea Duck, all super awesome planes! And also please make a community showcase where you show all the great community builds!

[@fooman2108]

Josh, sounds like you named another future project...make a cinder block fly (MODERN)!

[@johnboleyjr.1698]

Have y'all thought about redoing the "RC Basics - Beginner Series" with updated techniques and equipment, now that there has been such great strides made since the original series. Maybe cover easy cheap entry level FPV gear for beginners.

[@bitogre]

I love this video. Interesting that you end with where I join FliteTest (SEFF 2014 - I was there for the crash of the 200% Spitfire). I do remember watching all those videos in your back catalog. Please make more of the "Trip down Memory Lane" videos.

[@ChristKrew-Rev1.8]

Love Flite Test! Question.... how did the name and spelling of Flite Test come about? Also... the gremlin... who's idea was he? Because of Flite test.... I have something to do with my kid that I wanted to do when I was a kid but could not. Thank you!

[@spyersecol0013]

I remember all of these!

[@jimmcdonald9244]

Oh I remember David. My word was it that long ago? Thanks, guys that was such fun. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@brianbrissette9444]

I remember the 400th episode, wow April 1st 2014 ...have enjoyed so many years of FF good wholesome fellowship with brothers

[@TheCrnic]

YES PLEASE, revisit the old challenges. I would love to see you guys do the toaster or cinder block again. What I missing the most is the streamer dog fighting.

[@user-uv9gq9hs6q]

Just a joy to look at the development and improvement of flitetest. You are really inspiring people and teach them how to get into the hobby. LOVE YOU and greetings from Germany :D

[@themrwinston9570]

i cant believe i was there for all these coming out😅. i joined the family around when the og parrot drone video came out. now i still watch and i fly fpv in liftoff all the time. (bought a spitfire kit ages ago and discovered im not one for crafts...) now i know im not really one for fixed wing😂, but i still love watching you guys do it. While i have your attention... maybe refresh the gremlin series, and work with/ look at, kabab and his toothpick series. (maybe make it more affordable somehow?) im running on... point is please dont stop making vids

[@elumiomerk4013]

Hey guys, I was wondering if the green dragon..... flying vehicle from Ninjago is actually air worthy? This is a poor representation with it moving like a mythical dragon and what not, at 33:30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZKTiKVjhrxkmNE but I found the idea of each dragon "scale" acting like a surface very interesting and might offer interesting maneuver capabilities..... assuming the thing can actually fly, and if it does control would be a total nightmare.

[@wirelesmike73]

I never cared for that other Josh guy, there was just something off about him. He just came off as annoying and generally disinterested. I don't know if it was just an act, or what, but tbh, I'm glad he's off the show. I do miss the Sweed, though. You could really tell that he loved the stuff you guys were doing. I wouldn't mind seeing him make a comeback.
