Dropping a Turkey from a Plane?! What happens? 🦃

[@ulaB]

Happy Thanksgiving to my Flite Test family. Yes. That's all of you!

C-5 galaxy, after all the heavy lifters they make are all cargo planes not bombers

[@seaskimmer]

The turkey parachute, the plane on fire and josh kicking the plane after it landed... It doesn't get any better than this! I laughed so much, thanks guys. Have you thought of making (if possible) a Harrier jumpjet?

I hope hes better then Josh Scott catching breakfast foods.

Make a plane with the Magnus effect in play on the wings . I CHALLENGE YOU

[@itsme_allanp9957]

I must say, that is the craziest thing I have seen anyone do with a turkey so far. R.I.P. Cabby, that was a great way to make an exit.

[@park_ranger1017]

If this is the craziest thing you’ve seen with a trukey then you obviously havn’t seen WKRP in Cincinnati, it is a tv show, and yes it was also about turkeys being dropped from a plane

[@ordicy3455]

I love to see y'all create a B1 Lancer with foldable wings like the real one. Keep up the good work FliteTest!

Or an F111 Aardvark

[@michaelortega5185]

I needed that laugh so bad thanks guys. Sweet flight in general and the 360 degree footage was the icing on the cake.

[@nokandno-escorner]

That turkey harness is awesome and hilarious

[@Cthippo1]

I wish you had kept flying it. I know the motors and servos and cameras are expensive, but seeing a RC airplane explode in mid air would be spectacular!

[@nathanz602]

He should have kept flying with the burning battery, so the plane would explode like a firework... Yeah I know it's a lot of work lost, but he said he wanted to make a new plane anyway...

[@theeclecticdragonfly6912]

David W. already did that to Bix with a prototype Vigan.

[@Twisted_Adventures2]

Idk.... I think having the lipo explode mid flight would've been a great send-off for cabby 😂

[@simonl7784]

you can use drones to fight forest fires? perhaps HO scale forest fires...

[@samrowland2816]

Not as water bombers but for mapping the fire and identifying the best way to tackle it.

[@MattPriceGuitar]

Thumbs up for relevant sponsors!

[@Silent_Strife]

C-5 Galaxy would be amazing. It would need to just be overwhelmingly massive. Like... outdoor storage massive. Just a proof of concept and because I see a lot of people asking for it. (Edit: Spelling)

[@chrislidel1880]

Me and my dad bought one of your beginner planes and we got to spend a lot of quality time together building and flying it thanks for a new hobby and happy thanksgiving.

[@jaedxn04]

Imagine it was a live turkey!

[@arnemdv]

You can recycle a old umbrella to be parachute. Simply remove the Metal parts and glue your strings instead in the holes.

[@anim8torfiddler871]

Ya'll gonna have to dis-infect that cargo hold like an Ebola Patient was transported.

[@jjab99]

Great video and may I wish all the FliteTest crew and indeed all our American cousins a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

[@derekpirie9188]

Only one Turkey was "Tenderized"" for Thanksgiving.

[@GreedWillEndUs]

It'd be awesome to build a dual fuselage, 6 turbofan engines similar to stratolauncher with the payload hanging in the middle.

[@rafis117]

B-36 for the heavy lifter; six turning, four burning! It's one of those rare real planes that's as Flite Test as Flite Test is.

[@megganrenee]

I think a perfect plane to build would be the CL-415 Superscooper. The challenge is right up your alley.

[@MrArcher0]

How many legs on a turkey? Flite Test answer: 3

[@juliorivas9110]

The Turkey they ate was surely not the same one

[@RTmadnesstoo]

That was GREAT!! EPIC!! Best video yet!! Thanks for the laughs.

[@superengie3062]

Should have left the turkey in there for just a but longer and should have had smoked turkey

Canada uses the C130 hurcules as the primary search and rescue fixed wing aircraft. It would be so cool to see a massive 4 motor flite test version.

[@ashtonhanson1309]

Here's a real challenge make a flying oven cooking a turkey 😂😂😂

[@benjaminlootens4500]

As someone who raised domestic turkeys, I can tell you, they CAN fly, but the farmers clip about 3 inches off their wing tips, making the wingspan 6 inches shorter and thus not long enough to let them fly.

[@blakejenkins3531]

My father was a crew chief on an AC-130 and then KC-135 during his 24 year career in the Air Force. My mother was a Parachute Technician in her 8 years and together they made an awesome pair of people... long story short, a KC-135 lifting some huge cargo and an AC-130 rigged with airsoft would be absolutely epic!

[@adammontgomery4398]

Stuff happens. But I hope you repair Cabbie, one of my fave builds you guys have done.

[@azgarogly]

Great episode. Though you have to admit, you parachute system is "suboptimal". I made parachutes, out of the plastic furniture cover film. They sell it by sheets of 4*5 meters, it's thin, but as long as you spread the load with a tape it works like a charm. They sell it in construction stores with paint rollers and brushes and stuff.

[@EJ-74]

I don't know which one was coolest dropping the turkey or watching Cabby landing on fire 🤔🙄😁

Hilarious. That bird was flapping its wings. Great idea.

[@scootergrant8683]

They should have put servos that controlled the turkey's parachute. It'd look even more like it was being piloted. But also a bit sketchy.

How about a C 130 for the new heavy lifter! I flew into Kuwait out of Iraq on one that lost 2 engines, and it still brought me home....

[@70snostalgia]

Hey Josh, it's Lachlan (Lock) from Australia. You sent me a note when I mentioned that my Dad took me flying when I was a kid. I grew up next to Richmond RAAF base near Sydney, which is a heavy-lift base, full of C-130s. So my choice of heavy is the Hercules. Cheers, mate, hope you're well.

[@SubZeroXJ]

A replacement aircraft could be a Boeing 747 or a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. Hypothetically, it would work with the same system as the "Cabby" aircraft for motors and servos, but to make the plane a scale model, you might have to develop a smaller propeller, or use the cylinder design from the UFO you flew a few months ago to make the aircraft as close to realistic as a model can be. The reason I stated the Boeing 747 is because the first intended use was for a mobile fighter jet "hanger," it was proposed to carry 14 small fighter jets. The plan was great, but when the pilots couldn't stay perfectly aligned, the arm to pick up the fighter aircraft caught the right catch area with the left side, and they had to abort the plan. If all of you at FliteTest read and consider this option, I would love to hear from you all, possibly help with system designs. Thanks for all you do to make these amazing aircraft models, and doing the "strange" things you do to bring together a worldwide community of scale model pilots and drivers, and show what anyone can do with time and practice in our hobby.

Happy Thanksgiving Flite test family

[@armandoboensel593]

THAT WAS FRICKEN AWESOME!

[@pcislocked]

Looks like Cyprus peace operation with extra steps

[@DeputyNordburg]

My idea for the new heavy Hauler: Modular. For example different noses for different missions. An FPV nose, a nose with a 3rd prop, a nose with airsoft canons. Swap in the right nose for the appropriate mission. Wings: Wing extensions like that flying wing you tested. And, although bigger than Cabbie, it breaks down more, and all fits in a small SUV.

[@ld3640]

I'm probably the only one that's going to get this but you needed someone dressed as Les Nessman and a WKRP Banner pulled behind the plane 🤣😂😜
