Outstanding 👍👍

[@patriotrising6214]

Launch with hopelessness , and then the heavens opened ...it flew 😮 angelicaladense 😊🙏🏆❣️

[@TheRcSaylors]

lol. I had more hope than the Browns fans!! I dunno, I had to think hard about that one, lol… I knew it would fly eventually!! 👍🙏😅💯⚓️

[@KeithFleming-qs2kh]

Nate the thing has took a beating brother better late than ever

[@TheRcSaylors]

Oh, it’s been all the way to space and back (almost) and is still ticking!! I can’t believe it flies as good as it does. Thanks for watching! 🙏👍💯😎⚓️

[@StevenSospenzi]

The FT sportster is a great one! Mine flew great with zero stabilization systems.

[@TheRcSaylors]

That’s one on my radar that I would love to build myself and fly!! Can’t beat that price either!! 👍💯😎⚓️

[@Stirling_RC_Videos]

I'm thinking of getting that one next.

[@TimTheJeepGuy]

That thing looks like the Pinewood Derby car of RC planes. In a good way! 😂 Great video Nate & Abby! 👍🇺🇸❤️

[@TheRcSaylors]

Haha, that’s a fun way to look at it! At this point I just need a little graphite on it to help it go faster, lol!! Thanks for watching!! 🙏👍💯😂⚓️

[@jonnel2000]

🤣 Have a Merry Christmas ahead, guys! this was so funny for me... 🤣🤣🤣

[@boomfiziks]

I purchased 2 of those planes at FliteFest. One for me and one for my students to build in my aeronautics STEAM class. They are finishing up on their F22, but I’m hoping we’ll get started on space fighter soon.

[@TheRcSaylors]

You’ll have to share our video with them so they know Not to do what I did, 3 times!! lol 😂😅🙏💯⚓️

[@Stirling_RC_Videos]

An quick point about CG. If the elevator is in front of the CG, then it is reversed as it is PIVOTING around the CG point.

[@TX_Nano.]

I knew immediately on the first attempt that you had the elevator reversed 😂. Canards are unique beasties.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Oh, try 4 attempts to finally get it right!! I feel so goofy now, but just had absolutely no idea!! We all make easy mistakes sometimes, and I want people to know it’s very normal and not to give up. Thanks for tuning in and Happy Flying!! 👍🙏💯😎⚓️

[@jons4542]

The great thing about FliteTest is you can trace the pattern out before assembling on poster board and assemble crashed parts back easily with toothpicks, bar b que skewers and popsicle sticks. Or just assemble a new airframe for less than 5 dollars of foam board. Many of their airframes have free downloadable plans you can make as well for less than 5 dollars. Make a Nutball video someday. Those are the easiest to make and very fun to fly!!

[@cwwisk]

Simple thing to remember. Control surfaces just "point" the nose in the intended direction.

[@PS-rr2jt]

We’ve had a ton of fun building, flying, crashing and rebuilding FT planes. I just finished a Spitfire that I got free plans for on their website and shrunk it down to 75% which gives me an 810mm wingspan. Test flight tomorrow. Only cost me 2 sheets of foam board and some paint.

[@ianmbaker]

Every day is a school day. 😃

[@donschaefer8646]

Find mud duck plans on-line. 10:56 All body, wings, and control surfaces made from foam core, wood dowels, white paper glue, found in craft section WalMart!!!😂

[@deanedeane4318]

That's an awesome load of fun with your $30bucks !!! Suchfun !!! ❤😉🙃😎 NZ

[@MaryEllison-h3o]

Great job! Looking forward to new videos from you! 🍒🧡

[@dansgarage5121]

It is impressive to see you make a positive video with that. 🎉

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for watching!! Hope you’re getting ready for a nice weekend! 👍🙏💯😎⚓️

[@thefamjaycrew3901]

Loving the drones shoots always awesome 👏 vids my friends happy flying all 😊😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

[@ElizabethPeake-m6l]

Very inspiring! I will look forward to more videos! 🐱💞

[@jaymeyers950]

Your human we make mistakes nobody is perfect like you said never give up

[@TheTootie52]

Wow!! Determination is definitely the key to success!! With that being said, that's the most FUN and FUNNY video that I've seen you guys do!! I felt like I was right there routing for NATE!! Exceptional drone chasing Madam Saylor!! Last but not least, thanks Saylors!! You made my day!! 💟👍😎

[@edwardmalec7671]

Persistence pays off! I think everyone who flies r.c. has made similar mistakes. Welcome to the human race. And well done Nate!

[@stanbrewer6079]

Well definitely one of your more interesting reviews 🤭😼. Abby didn't have any trouble droning 😏. No instructions to read huh Nate 🤔 😁😁. It did fly reasonably well. I noticed the canard had a blunt front, wouldn't a normal curved for air flow have worked better 🤔. Was it the wind resistance ❔️ or does it need more power or battery. Nother try is certainly required. ⚓️⚓️👍💛🧡💚🤭😼😏😁🤔❔️👍⚓️⚓️.

[@N_4279.]

Have you thought about reversing the elevator channel in the remote to make it easier for muscle memory to fly?

[@paulwaffler8208]

That's what I was thinking

[@TheRcSaylors]

lol, I love this comment! That’s what I did! WOW, it hurts my brain to imagine having to fly with reverse control surfaces from the transmitter itself! The strange thing is, when I pull back on the elevator, the control surface on the Space Fighter Canard actually goes down in order to make the craft go up! I hope that helps clarify. 😅💯🙏👍⚓️

[@N_4279.]

@@TheRcSaylors yeah it is very confusing… curious when more full scale videos are coming out?🛩️

[@TheRcSaylors]

I honestly need to sit down and edit our next one! I’ll do my best to bring one this month at least. Full Scale video that is. 🙏💯👍😎⚓️

[@N_4279.]

@TheRcSaylors awesome can’t wait!!

[@Stirling_RC_Videos]

Mine flew the first time (1:42) as I built it at Flite Fest with Jason at his seminar. But...i then flew for 42 sec but tail heavy. The third flight wound up 50 ft. in a tree. My fault. Lost control and had to get a tree company to get it down. Still need to adjust the canards as one is a bit higher than the other. Maybe adjusting the ailerons will help.

[@mikewhitley1183]

I think the big wings go first wait a minute OMG it's flying but it sure looks backwards to me

[@BillKisel]

So, did you reverse the servo allowing you to change pitch without thinking about the canard having replaced the horizontal stabilizer?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Normal elevators are “pull back on the right stick, elevator control surface moves UP, which then gives lift!” This “Canard” Space Fighter with the horizontal stabilizer and elevator on the front works by “pulling back on the right stick, still aiming for lift, however the control surface of the elevator actually moves down, which gives lift and blows my mind!!” I hope this helps make sense of this wild thing!! 👍😎💯😁⚓️

[@BillKisel]

@TheRcSaylors Yeah, so reverse the servo and you don't have to think about it, right?

[@kevindissette353]

**** No test pilots or animals were injured or killed in this video ****

[@TheRcSaylors]

Facts 👍💯⚓️

[@dalewiseman6521]

I enjoy your posts Could you recommend a Beginner Drone ? Thank you

[@TheSavageRc6174]

Fpv or just for video and picture?

[@CharlieRice-eq5hb]

Some of my Flite test planes did not fly well. Most of them flew great. Pay attention during building time.

[@GenealRC225]

Uhhh what

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Please PLEASE let's not do the thumbnail thing where you have the expression of someone who just saw their grandparents having sex. Please. I've had to unsub from other channels who decided to do that all the time, and it was a bummer. I think any extra views you get will be from emotionally stunted toddlers who were trying to tap on a Jim Carrey thumbnail. The views will be up, but the retention will be down, because what is the audience a thumbnail like that caters to? Not someone who wants to learn to fly an RC plane, more like someone looking for the next Skibidi-toilet video. I'm not trying to be a jerk, or insult you, but gee whiz golly willikers, I won't be a part of the gradual dumbing down of society or catering to the infantile dunderheads which are being bred.

[@TheRcSaylors]

This was a genuine feeling though, and I think our content reflects it well, lol. I promise, I don’t plan on making that face many more times in my life!! This space fighter had me rolling, but in a good way for sure!! We are always happy to know you’ve tuned in my friend!! Now, please let me know your thoughts about the video itself and the content 🙏❤️ I worked insanely hard to make this video happen from start to finish. It would mean a lot to me if you gave feedback on all of the other stuff we did and not just my goofy face 🤪 😉💯😎⚓️

[@RobertManifold-i5s]

The thumbnails of Nate like the ones in this video is why I won't subscribe or support this channel.

[@user-ef1wb6bt8h]

Well... there's your problem... it's pink and purple
