If you buy a power pack you can use that power pack over and over on so many different FT planes. I think the powerpackis are an investment in future builds. Or you can do what I do. Buy the FT plane and buy the Motor ESC and Servos from ValueHobby for 25 to 35 dollars. They are based in the USA and have inexpensive electronics that work flawlessly. I have been using them for 8 years with no issues. Unfortunately, they don't do international orders You would have to use Hobby King for inexpensive electronics internationally. They used to be a sponsor of FliteTest many years ago.

[@j3steven]

I think it makes sense to talk about the price like you did - the price without any electronics, and the price with electronics (which a lot of us will already have). The real appeal about these planes is that most of the electronics will outlast the actual airframe after a few crashes, and building a new airframe is SUPER cheap (as opposed to a really great looking RTF that really won't survive one bad crash, especially asthetically).

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Flite Test, in the Josh, Josh, and David era, got me back into RC about ten years ago. I hadn't touched a plane in 20 years, but the idea of foamboard scratch builds really resonated with me. Versa forever, baby! Now I have way too many planes and quads, so I guess I have a bone to pick with them?! lol

[@EJ-74]

Awesome,so glad y’all are finally reviewing FliteTest homemade kits… This is how I got into the hobby, Everybody should start off with a trainer kit, if you crash it and beat it up no big deal just slap a little hot glue and some packing tape on it and you’re right back in the air… Packing tape is very important, it will make the plane more than twice as tough…

[@TheRcSaylors]

Awesome tip EJ! Thanks for the heads up 👍💯🙏😎⚓️

[@hazen7645]

yeah, I tape all the weak points.

[@alangilbert7175]

Flight tests makes amazing products. I currently have 5 of there planes!!!! Amazing prices and Easy to build for beginners .

[@dastardlydave1455]

Sweet pusher jet!! Too cool that you made it. Zooooooom!!!

[@nunyabisness4300]

FT has probably done more for the community than anyone. Just a gut feeling.

[@TheRcSaylors]

When you offer people ways to get into the hobby that are literally free plus the Adams board cost ($1) that is pretty awesome! 👍💯😎⚓️

[@Hoomi2]

The Flite Test "Alpha/Bravo/Charlie" series are the same control/power configuration, and were designed by a school STEM class. I built my first Alpha from the plans, just to see how I would do making everything from scratch, and it flew quite well. The biggest mistake I made on it was not painting or sealing the dollar store foam board, and it ended up warping from the humidity. I built a second one from the speed build kit, and gave it a nice paint job. My current FT build is the Retro Rocket. I really enjoy the Flite Test kits.

[@greg0063]

For 50 dollars up in the air they turn out to be the easiest to fly and make great fpv platforms. Foam board is awesome. Flite test offers many of the plans for free to download and cut out yourself. Also the parkjets like you have there fly sooo good! Nice job on your 1st build.

[@andreinij]

I met the flite test guys at flite fest south almost a decade ago. Great product and the best part is their kits are built around their power packs, so if you wad it up you can build a whole new one and just swap never the electronics. I've got several aircraft and a few of the electronics packs in the barn from back in the day.

[@johnmead2580]

You Should look into rounding the edges of those foam planes.., (laminar flow) fuse, and wings, the plane will fly even better, (trim the edges of the Wing's, Rudder, and Elevons with balsawood strip's), I just love Josh, Nate, and the whole Team @FT... They rock, You could also ask Josh, about the High School, Kids that build all kinds of jets..., a few years back... You will be happy you did!! 🙃😁

[@jimmcdougall9973]

Great guys at Flight Test, and we have a branch of their business here in South Africa. Oh, and they are Christians. Blessings.

[@melodysethman7865]

😮 WOW That is Amazing That You Built it Yourself Nate 👌 My Old Man Fred Mollard Always Talks About You And Abby and How You Guys Got Him Into The RC Hobby About 3 or 4 year's ago just from watching your Utube RC Channel and Taking Your Advice and Buying His First Hobby Grade RC Plane's The Big Areo Scout RTF in 2020 ! Now He Has a Big Collection of so Many Different Plane's it's Crazy 😆 Fred is Definitely Addicted To RC's 100% And You & Abby Got Him Hooked on The RC Hobby But It's All Good and Better Then Other Bad Things Now a Days Ya Know 👌!!! Thank You Both ❤ God Bless You and Your Family 🙏 💘 😃 !!!

[@davidlewis620]

So proud of you Nate for building that plane because now you have given me the motivation to build the exact same plane myself!! Seems like you did a great job the way it's flying! I know a lot of us want to see a variety of types and styles so we'll be waiting!! Thank you RC Saylors!!!

[@scu-dub]

This is so freaking awesome!!!! Also the site has some really cool kits with some great radios👍🏼 you hit it right on the head nate we really need to support our companies right here in the states and what I think makes this a no brainer is the lifetime warranty on the electronics! I'm very interested in seeing this again but with a RC SAYLORS paint scheme 😁🙏🏼✌🏼

[@mracer8]

This is a beautiful and actually quite a bargain! best of all it is Made in USA!! USA! USA! USA!

[@TheTootie52]

FUN flight and Nate put it together, I said he put it together, etc.!! Too long trying to catch it!! I'm all for made in America!! Keep up the GREAT work and thanks Saylors!! 💟👍😎

[@TheRcSaylors]

Haha, maybe I could have stopped trying to catch it after the second or third attempt 😅 Love that these truly are made in America! Hope to see more people trying and flying them, including myself! 👍🇺🇸😎⚓️

[@ghostrunner2138]

awesome build. If you love this you will love the FT arrow as well, that's my favorite plane from them and it's like 4 pieces lol. Huge lifesaving tip to make Z-bends less terrible is to just get the fancy Z-bend pliers. They are a lifesaver.

[@KyrreXXL]

The Arrow is awsome, so fast to build, and flies great.

[@paige2732]

They are awsome!!! I love those planes. A while back I bought a three pack and the were awsome. Great video

[@jeffreyjones6409]

There are a bunch of RC forums out on the web for building "foam board" profile type aircraft, using electronics scavenged from past models. You did an awesome job on that RC aircraft and it flies well. A build video on something like that would be neat. Thanks for showing us what is possible.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Jeffrey! I’ll have to start diving more into this part of the RC world. We started with Sparrows from scratch many years ago and stepped away from this kind of RC. I feel that it is extremely rewarding now, to fly something that I actually made! Appreciate you stopping by 👍💯🙏😎⚓️

[@MajorKong1]

Always interested in prices. I've been saying you should do some building of your own too. Granted that's not always what everyone wants to do, but you've got enough parts from crashes we've seen. I've seen these guys, they make some real neat stuff. Cool build!

[@artificialhorizons1469]

Congrats. Welcome to the exciting world of craft building. Hope to see you build many more.

[@TerranceNeill]

Hey guy's. I just ordered one through your link. A friend of mine made me something similar that fly's great. I'm going to do mine up in Red White and Blue! Great job Abby keeping this plane in frame.

[@schismfpv9110]

So glad you found Flite Test!

[@TheRcSaylors]

That’s awesome rad!! What’s the next one on your radar? Also, which one do you recommend I try next? 👍💯😎⚓️

[@BillKisel]

Very nice Nate. Doing FT builds and getting them to fly is so rewarding. I like setting a just finished model next to the box it came in and marvel how it once fit in the box. Colored Sharpies, the big ones, can be used to dress up your model more quickly and with less mess than painting. Ps. I've got a Tutor and a Tiny Tutor still in their respective box waiting on some rainy day to get built.

[@19913000gtvr4]

I love my profile foam jets. But I put edf motors on them. Then they sound great and you don't have to watch your fingers so much👍

[@victorrcjets7660]

Nice job Nate 👏 but your camera operator Abby is a great team effort 👌

[@TrailAngelRock]

I bought and made one of the Flite Test Biplanes and I loved the experience of making and painting it. I haven't flown it yet as I crash everything I fly yet. I want to get better before I take it out.

[@zachbrambilla8265]

I have the flite test A10, I love it because it looks like a jet but flies like a prop plane because it's super lightweight for it's size (1.5m)

[@AlToneRC]

Love my FT Tutor and the just orders the Boomin Flerken. These are great for beginners. Budget friendly place to start.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Awesome!! I’m looking forward to at least a couple more builds this summer for sure. Huge favor to ask: will you click our link for your next order? Trying to establish a strong relationship between us and FT and everything helps!! 🙏 Thank you and Happy Flying! 👍💯😎⚓️

I believe it’s a straight kit plane. Go Bless Flite test for their very economical kits! Some are free minus electronics. The have a full line of planes & products. Wide variety of electronics for each plane. Very few tools required!

[@inncubus666]

Good job.

Hi Nate, these are also nice airplanes and of course your own one that you also made yourself is great when it goes into the air and flies. You are also proud of this. Nate also likes this one from Flite test FT Bloody Wonder MKR2. also a great plane. Happy flying. 👍😃🛩

Great feeling to fly a plane you've built yourself! 100% of my planes are home made, made out of Adam's Readi-board.... and I also make them for members of a couple of local clubs for stress-free flying (no crying when crashed).

[@mikeehuber]

Hey RC Saylors, come shoot videos at Flite Fest in June!!!

Super cool plane I’m not sure I could fly with my nubby but sounds super fun

[@mikeehuber]

It's a great plane. Great video! I think you should price it at the foam board kit price? And then separate new electronics. We all have the parts for the most part in our tool boxes.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Good point! So basically, this is a $25 airplane 👍💯 And you are right! I had enough parts laying around to build this without needing to buy any. But I do love that lifetime warranty on the motor and ESC! 😎⚓️

[@mikeehuber]

That radial motor is so strong and fast! And I never knew that they had that kind of a warranty! And their power packs are a sure thing which some people need!

[@gregmcclure2640]

Nate, thanks for the video, but we don't see an accidental amputation! :} Love 'ya!

Nate is talking about the actual Jet being made in the USA using ready-made foam board and it is laser cut in the USA. The electronics are separate. You can use whatever electronics you want. German Japanese, American, Chinese, Czech. Yes, there are plenty of RC electronics made in the USA if you want to spend the money on high-quality products. But like I said. Nate is talking about the Airframe being made in the USA. That is a fact.

[@KyrreXXL]

The motors are in fact Flitetests own design, they are not just rebranded stuff. And even models from Germany, like Multiplex, are made in China. The Chinese can make good stuff if you just pay them enough.
