[@LoganBroadbent]

You guys are amazing! Had such a blast working with you all. Let's break that record!

[@boomfiziks]

Logan Broadbent You Boomstud! I am so glad to see that FliteTest had you on. I hope you come back and show some more interesting boomerang magic. Just between you and me, I think Jami should’ve had more air time. 😀. Many Happy Returns!

[@FliteTest]

Logan my man! We had a blast and we can't wait to Break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD with ya! Don't be a stranger and looking forward to "Rangin" together again soon! - Stefan

[@ww11ll]

my last name is Broadbent, & I'm from australia

[@duffers6497]

you were a brilliant guest!

[@dougmaxwell8789]

Logan, I have four boomerangs i bought in Australia in '99. They were made, painted, and signed by a lovely Aboriginal man named Boonga. I've been throwing and (sometimes) catching them for years and have yet to lose one. I always have at least one in my car. It's a fun sport and I'm glad to learn there's a competition circuit. If Flite Test has given you the RC flying bug, you would probably enjoy Discus Launch Gliders. Lots of throwing and catching.

[@d3c0deFPV]

"It's carbon fiber, it's indestructible!" ...oh, how I wish this were true.

[@elijahf111]

Drop the tank from a millitarry transport plane with a parachute!!!

[@karolsowula4176]

Yes

[@iikkakeltto6240]

Absolutely👍👍

[@nickytions2273]

or without a prachute...

[@mariabegnami4051]

Yea, like a big Hercules

[@MrLuckyfa18]

How about a C-5

[@creepysplatter9260]

They predicted that zoom would be popular soon.😀😀

[@CarolinaFlier]

What a moment in Flitetest history. 8 years of hard work, love, and dedication has finally produced one million subscribers. Be proud guys, the impact you have made throughout the Aviation community in that 8 years is something that will always live in the hearts and souls of all of us. It feels amazing to be part of the Flitetest family.

[@ConnorWeller]

and they respond with a boomarang

[@gracklefpv8811]

YALL HIT 1,000,000 SUBS!!!!! YAAAY!!! I’ve been watching for over 5 years and I feel like a proud dad 😆😆😆😆 but for real, awesome job guys!

"We put a couple more carbon riber fods" lol. Congrats on 1 Million!

[@pesterenan]

I think it needed more *carbon riber fods*

[@revivalmaster]

It would be very cool to see if you can make that gigant boomerang RC, like putting propeller on each wing.

[@joebean5054]

I'm up for y'all trying this again...hopefully with proper wings

[@SpeedyRK]

You need to do more on this! PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lisarenee3505]

That was a lot of fun to watch. You guys definitely need to do more stuff with Logan. He seems like a good fit with the FT crew, just as crazy and excitable as the rest of you boys.

[@77eamonnd]

Only found this channel today, and I have been binge watching all day..... Absolutely awesome, I'm subscribing

[@gorace71]

Bones's adventures welcome to the club. Great people and a great flying

[@kyleroesler7057]

Bones's adventures Welcome to the channel

[@RetinaBurner]

I've been watching these guys for a while. They're totally nuts, and it made me want to get into real R/C flying, so I went out and picked up an E-Flite Mini Convergence. I know it's not intended for a new R/C Pilot, but I've been flight simming for years (X-plane). Josh Bixler, Josh Scott (sp?), Stefan, Alex, TJ, Jeremy, Austin, Bob, and all the rest. You guys completely rock all the socks :) By the way, is there a chance that you guys might do a (somewhat belated) review of the MIni Convergence? If so, thanks in advance :)

[@BruceWayne-nf5wo]

FLITE TEST VIDEOS: 1. Have an idea about a plane 2. Explain to viewers the idea 3. Make the plane while using many technical terms, sounding like proffessionals 4. Test the plane flight 5. Proceed to scream happily like 12 year olds the moment the plane flies 6. Veiwer smiles the duration of videos and subscribes

[@SpeedyMC14]

"3 materials one boomerang" this guy is AWESOME, I definitely want to see more of him

[@thatoneguy.6637]

Every time something goes wrong: "it's better now because..."

[@julianshuster2960]

Make an RC boomerang!!!!!!!!!

[@madsnax3098]

First of all if its rc its not a boomerang why cause it can go to any direction so it will be like a flying rc frizbe

[@julianshuster2960]

@@madsnax3098 you have a point but it would still be really cool to see the FliteTest crew do challenges and see how far they can get the rc boomerang/frisbee away from them and still get it back to them without moving.

[@AN2Felllla]

It’s called an “RC helicopter”.

[@julianshuster2960]

@@AN2Felllla I guess so but you'd remove the body and stabilizers and it would be an interesting challenge in it of itself

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

We need to get higher. Climbs ladder, ignores 8 foot near vertical rise 30 feet behind them. BRILLIANT!

[@codybaker6423]

any one else just love watching the planes wiggle in the timelapses

[@giliant]

I began today thinking i had obscure hobbies... the day did not conclude with that belief. Awesome.

[@Si6Si6]

I think you should definitely built a single jet engine plane! Would be interesting to watch. ✈️

[@justinpryde1]

Hot glue and tape! Amazing what holds our modern rc's together

[@Smokey2873]

Please come back to this! This is awesome, I want to see it completed.

[@MoonShadowTiki]

I would love to see you guys go after the world record. Good luck on your next boomerang build.

[@xxrgxxcasco]

Wanna make a giant boomerang? How about a very long stick with a pair of small foils in the end? You can call it "The Double Battleaxe".

[@bozo5773]

I can’t afford any planes, drones but I enjoy watching your videos

[@SidequestPrinting]

Y'all should make a Plate into a plane, but the catch is you can only use parts of the plate and silverware for the body, I think it would be cool

[@rrittenhouse]

Zoom is blowing up lately. Were using it at work for remote/distance learning classes for all kinds of classes so a teacher can sit in one spot and teach multiple classes.

[@skylarking12]

I'm reminded by watching this, of "maple seed" helicopters in my youth: a single foil/wing/blade with an .049 glow engine at the weighted end. You launched it off a vertical music wire rod, not unlike a model rocket launch pad; letting it spin up to gain gyroscopic stability. A trim tab on the rotor tip can give some directional control. An electric version using scrap drone components seems doable, and will look pretty awesome in twilight if you hang some LED's on it.

[@RichardRaueiser]

I LOVE playing boomerang in the dark! beware just listen to his whisper, and hide.

[@crazyboi2822]

Congrats on 1 million guys. Yall deserve it

[@jacksonlynch5125]

You guys should do a build the weirdest looking rc plane that flies well.

[@nemoaspieman369]

Gratz on 1M subs, would love to see this built properly but that last bit of the vid was golden, that throw and catch and the celebration was awesome.

[@Extra300kb]

This obviously has nothing to do with a boomerang, but have you guys though about designing a Wilga? But in the style of mike patey’s Draco? Something I think is safe to say everyone is interested in..

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

I think you guys need to collab with Jeorg Sprave from the slingshot channel to launch that boomerang.

[@coleatkins1583]

I’m starting a rc club at my school thanks for the inspiration guys

[@not_riley]

THIS video inspired you? Of all the great videos on their channel, this terrible one inspired you?

[@Lord_Verminaard]

Um, why NOT go for the record! Do it guys!

[@laurenloucks7707]

Expecting my Tiny Whoop today and I'm so excited, I can't sleep.

[@IMayHaveNukes]

Logan sounds like he would make a good voice actor.

[@MartinCarenaSantiago]

Finally 1M!! Been watching for a few years and it is well deserved. Now get that tank in the air!

[@rnx516]

pls start a series on glow engines and glow planes.and congrats on 1million subs...been with you from a long time.keep up the good work guys!

[@Deep_Ro]

YES TO MORE BOOMERANGS!!!

[@westrilemitch9655]

rocket powered giant boomerang XD

[@GreenLantern814]

Yes, come back to this! It's an amazing idea!!

[@aaaaaaaaaassssssssdf]

would i ever say no to more FT videos? congrats on one million! can't wait to see the tank fly! how about making it a biplane with four wings from the a-10?

[@unit0033]

need more pete sirpol working on his own planes or something with planes

[@jameschee]

Can you guys make the giant tank fly as an airplane and also have it transform into Blitzwing?

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

The boomerang thing defo needs to be re-visited. Can imagine it'd work if just a bit smaller, and... actually right OR left handed.

[@The_QuadCast]

THEY DID IT BOY 1,000,000 subs after many years they did.

[@Nero_studios]

Zoom: Discord, but you have to pay!

[@TheAlmightySnobDog]

Guys, i would love to see a very long FPV, and i have a challenge for you: - You could do part of the FPV on the air, another in land and even in water, but i think for starters, air\land is the perfect combination. I would like to see a drone, going half of the way, dropping the car, the car then, goes into his portion of the mission, then i would love to see the drone recover the car after the mission is done. That would be so awsome. Great video as usual :D

[@Barwell999]

Congratulations FliteTest!!! You all have enriched so many lives. Thank you.

[@sacuiufane3211]

At some point this video just becomes a documentary about guys with big foreheads trowing a cross around

"Carbon Riber Fods". PUT THAT ON A T-SHIRT!

[@mariabegnami4051]

You guys should make a giant flying fortress.

[@thomasnewton9818]

What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back...a stick!

[@martysk8r]

Would LOVE to see an R/C Witch for Halloween!

[@thorondor1593]

Congrats on 1 million!

[@A_Bird]

On making the tank fly, it wasn't stated how long it would fly, so my thoughts are: Rocket Tank

[@gracklefpv8811]

5:04 “the more the better” I can hear josh bixler saying “a little goes a long way” hahaha

[@BlackWolf42-]

I had boomerangs when I was a kid. The once belonged to a cherished neighbor. I could NOT make them work despite hours of work. Turns out they were from a right handed kid. I am left handed. 30+ years later I got a proper boomerang. Sending it off to have it come back and nearly kill me was the most satisfying moment of my life.

[@lukasmakessomething7322]

Make a plane out of cereal boxes

[@blue2sco]

Make the tank fly attached to a giant boomerang!

[@kittyhawk3831]

This was great! I'd love to see you guys fool arou- I mean Experiment with more DIY designed boomerangs! :D

[@trulyinfamous]

It didn't spin nearly enough to do anything. The spin is what makes it work.

[@Moraren]

Logan is a cool dude! Get that man some speedbuildkits asap!

[@fuzzylogic8573]

what do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back , a stick.

[@mozkitolife5437]

It worked great at the end when the host left. Coincidence? 🤔 I think not.

[@Mark-Dibble]

ONE MILLION! Congratulations, keep the awesomeness coming!

We want him back!

archivist17 yeah

[@TonyMacaroni69_]

After a wing fell off I knew that it has to be called the CHRISTARANG!

[@rcpilot4970]

I know you guys love the foamboard, but perhaps you could make two different ones, a more complicated hotwire foamcut airfoiled one, with a bit more of a, um, sophisticated method of construction?

[@CalebT_RC]

I’m very happy for you guys for getting 1M

[@mr.fluffy2107]

Congrats on 1 million!!!

[@GOAFPilotChannel]

congrats on 1M!

Can you guys please make a piggy bank fly? That would be awesome!

[@EnderMalcolm]

Revisit the dual-rotor gyrocopter design, but use these giant windmills lol^^

[@GunganWorks]

Woot!!! 1 Million!!! Definitely worth a revisit.

[@AeroCraftAviation]

Wow! Huge congratulations on reaching 1M subscribers! I’ve been a subscriber for 3 years and I can’t believe how far this channwl has come. It’s really awesome to see you guys having fun with your crazy projects!

[@illshootyou5199]

this was great! you have to this again with Logan!

[@danielsaltvick]

thumbs up for snowball. make a plane so he or she or other can fly in it. haha.

[@frogsoda]

Glue the airfoils back to back. Bottom to bottom. Just make sure they're all facing in the same direction.

[@lurgy1]

different and fun, also cant wait to see the tank fly!!!

[@CraigPMiller]

I must admit to a certain regional preference for two-winged boomerangs :) :D Love the madness! Congrats on the million subs!

[@HotBurrito52]

the LEGO "pegs" are called studs. good job!

[@logancarbin8160]

0:14 Always nice to see your home field on FliteTest!

Sorry dude, we noticed "it" a solid minute and a half before you admitted it. Better luck next time... Would be interesting to see you actually make one that works :)

Yeah Boys! Do more Boomerangs
