Sending my Gorilla to the Blue Yonder

[@TrismegistusMx]

I love the positivity, creativity, attention to science and safety while still having fun. Y'all are fantastic educators and role models and I'm glad I found this channel!

[@Bruh-px4tr]

Alex and Coco are so pure

[@stilldking]

Chrome paint the top of the wings and call it the "Silver-back."

[@thisolddog2259]

stilldking that was so bad! wish i would have thought of it

[@Moraren]

Good ol' Coco! Cutest pilot in the FT family!

[@deeeeeds]

Andres reminds me so much of Peter -- crazy levels of innovation and execution. True pioneers in the RC field. I'm so glad Flite Test exists to help cultivate these brilliant people and allow them to let their creativity run free and boundless.

[@capnpete1154]

I love how y'all are always laughing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your love of the hobby is admirable. Btw. Thanks for putting me on to Horizon Hobby. I've just attained Pro Status with them and have grown significantly in the hobby through you and them. I thank you, my credit card company thanks you.

[@FliteTest]

Capn Pete love you dude! Your success is well deserved! Keep going! - Alex

[@slamboy66]

Some drunk guy on side of road just gave up drinking

[@errollpalmer9568]

SLAM BOY LOL, 😂🤣😁

[@jamesanthonysantos7785]

XD

[@DanielKezar]

now he lives in a van down by the river.

[@aneyelesspig8899]

lol

[@ddegn]

I feel bad for the people who didn't have booze to blame. They just think they've gone crazy.

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Coco is a great pilot, also forgot to say Congrats to the Zvada family

[@henryamusah1396]

Just can't stop loving you guys (new things all the time)

[@MrNapoleon0506]

Is Coco the new Buster from Mythbusters?

[@MrTarsiss]

Coco is the new FT Intern. We need to see him in more builds.

[@JW-bx8ih]

That is great you have young aircraft designers working for you. God Bless

[@ZombieGunslingr]

Are we going to see Coco The Aviator t-shirts now :-)

[@patricklucas2581]

I'd buy that..lol

[@qturn4726]

It's awesome..... Really amazing flight with Coco

[@g-rod5199]

This is awesome, felt like old school days of flight test!!!

[@gmoney8773]

That 360 cam is amazing! you guys should put in in a model cockpit!

[@DanielKezar]

5:08 "unless josh had anything to do with it" HAAAAAAA!!!! that legit made me wheeze

[@gorace71]

I think coco started smiling and the end. Kinda creepy. Lol. Great job guys!

[@elcookiemonsteru]

We need more coco flights!

[@jacksongrotto7635]

Best. Diy. Ever. Also congratulations on the newborn Alex

[@Pablo668]

That was awesome. I really wish you guys would re-visit the cosy-coupe or whatever it was called. All it needed was a strut between the wings to stop them from folding up and it would have flown a whole lot better.

[@jasetheace71]

Josh looks like half the man he used to be....with twice as much hair :-) Lovin it x

[@rogermiller6049]

That was a very nice landing Josh.

[@markybuddie]

Congrats big daddy!

[@GR-rx7zq]

Mark Cardinal hi son

[@AndrewFlyGuy]

Love how that left streamer showed the wingtip vortices! Congrats to Coco!!

[@grenaditfpv4217]

Andrew Williams I subbed to U will u sub to ms

[@Roboto2804]

The two people that disliked this video probably thought that this was animal cruelty 😂

[@gabrielralston3355]

Roboto nice profile picture who’s ur favorite joker

[@shellcasing3112]

Probably lol

[@mikeblocker5720]

Stol competition. 1/4 scale Cubs. Standardized engines. Wing mods only. Categories: Takeoff. Landing. Slow speed handling. Top speed. High speed handling. Would love to see something like this on your channel. The rigger boat hull went on to set prop boat speed and et records in actual drag boat racing. Problem child and others. Rc is so exciting for R&D. Love the channel.

[@nathancallahan7822]

I have the same monkey! Had him since i was about 3.

[@FliteTest]

Nathan Callahan no way! They need to meet each other! I thought Coco was the last of his kind!

[@1037b-y9v]

Only two of them left? Let’s hope they are the opposite gender.

[@gracklefpv8811]

Jason Stason haha and give bixler the baby so he will have to like it

[@stefanvujic3102]

There is no part of this video that i would like to skip, keep doing cool things!!!

[@Alexkeys141]

Love the full metal jacket reference at 4:28

[@Vortex_Zero]

This sort of thing reminds me of that one aviation story I heard a while back that was about the first test pilots for the first US fighter jets I just looked it up to get the written version on a website called WeAreTheMighty so I'll just leave the story pasted here: In 1942, Bell aircraft was developing its P-59 Airacomet, the first jet engine fighter designed by the United States. And although it never saw action, it was an important step in the development of U.S. air power. It was also a top-secret project at the time. The British had a jet fighter airframe in development since 1941 as did the Germans. It was so secret, in fact, that when the P-59 was taxiing, airmen put a fake wooden propeller on her nose so onlookers wouldn't notice anything odd about the aircraft. In the air, however, it was a different story. Pilots flying the usual piston-driven aviation engine would report back to base with sightings of a fast-moving plane without a propeller. They also said the plane was flown by a "gorilla, wearing a derby hat, waving a stogie at them." The Chief test pilot for Bell Aircraft was Jack Woolams. By the time Bell was testing its P-59 design, Woolams had already served 18 months in the Army Air Corps. He was the man behind the gorilla mask. Other pilots who were exposed to Woolams' prank were convinced by Air Force psychologists that they hadn't really seen the gorilla flying the plane, "because everyone knows you can't fly without a propeller." Thought you guys might enjoy hearing that story because this video reminded me a bit of it.

[@kalvinwinder]

I love how you make Andres do everything XD You guys are like in your videos "so were gonna have Andres ____________" LOL

[@TheAtunink]

You guys are AWESOME!!!! By far, my favorite rc channel!! I could watch you guys all day!! I'm planning on buying one of your kits and everything else I need from your store.. I was big into the rc plane hobby years ago but had to give it up due to lack of funds and hard times... your foam board kits are going to allow me to get back into the hobby I loved so much with minimal funds!! Keep up the amazing work!! I hope to meet you guys someday and get to watch you all fly in person!!!!

[@robdodge5814]

“You made my monkey fly” lol awesome. I had a stuffed monkey too

[@johnsorber3546]

Way awesome , that thing looks sick and I love it !

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Yea, no kidding, I saw the Gorilla smile at the end too. Maybe some of us have a good imagination? Anyways, well done. And the sound of it coming into land, very realistic.

[@charliedoubl]

This was just such a hearty vid. Great work guys, I was smiling the whole time!

[@Lacksi12]

I find it really interesting how after chopping the trail shorter you can see the vortex that is generated by the wingtip

[@volofly2011]

Hey guys, Mark here, I have been binge watching your channel for a couple of days now and this video finally pushed me over the top (I had a stuffed monkey as a kid too Alex), so I finally subscribed. You guys are infectious with your enthusiasm and your attitude is super inviting (In your minds you must still be 10yrs old, am I right?). You've quickly become one of my favorite channels and I will tell you that I'm picky about what I watch. For an Indiana farm boy who grow up flying and losing planes and rockets in the corn feilds, this brings it all back home for me. I love to tinker with stuff and I have what believe is a God given love of all things that fly. (BTW, you should see what's hanging up in my garage.) Not surprisingly, I am a career aeronautical engineer from a great aero school (Hail Purdue!) with a large aerospace company in Seattle (I love my job). Love your channel and your spirit. Keep up the good work guys!

[@KenKneknaneek]

Good job all, that was so funny, but that aircraft flew really well. It was amazing. Next thing you know, you will have KOKO ejecting himself and floating down on a parachute! Oh no! Should I have said that? rofl.. Happy Flying

[@grenaditfpv4217]

GrampaKenCanada I subbed to u will u sub to ms

[@jefffavorite6581]

Coco should be the official test pilot for Flite test

[@danielskoog5565]

That's awesome! Reminds me a lot of the Fowl Flyer way back when!

[@katananoob5117]

Awesome guys! always love watching flite test!

[@MonsieurFlange]

That was beautiful

[@missakadandeniya]

Hell yeah that was awesome! Great job guys!

[@capnpete1154]

Don't understand the trolls who thumbs down these videos. What is it you want? Are you that unhappy 😡 in your life that the only way you feel good is to tear someone else down?

[@rango_unchained]

That was so awesome. You guys keep coming up with some amazing ideas. It's fun to watch from all camera angles!

[@aneyelesspig8899]

oh... finally! at the little tikes car you had to use the gorrila!

[@erickhian]

AWSOME!!!!!! MORE BIG PROJECTS!!

[@sillysalmoninc.]

Congrats Alex

[@PB-oe7id]

Great job guys.

[@brianmehaffy]

You guys rock! Keep up the amazing work!

[@AllenSchmidtSr]

Coco crazy! That was great! Congrats guys! Another viral....

[@reggie3h694]

The streamers are a good showing of the wing vortices while flying @12:01

[@flyingpictures1100]

Stephens character deserves a segment of its own.. I propose a "Stephens Crazy Flier " or "Stephens Will It Fly" once each month where he designs his own crazy machine or takes a subscribers idea and turns it into reality.

[@heavymetalweld805]

Josh is like the dad of the group. He placates the children with silly stuff.

[@aviationclub1724]

A kingfisher review would be awesome

[@slamboy66]

Make it a push/pull like Cessna Skymaster

[@CaptainJohn]

Oh, I’m glad you used this again, the ultralight is one of my favorite builds so far! I love the flaps with the ailerons. Flaperons, hope it spelled I right. Also, Ultralights are my favorite type of aircraft! :D

[@jaspers6775]

Coco is a legend

[@Morpheus852]

More 360 videos, and let coco do a parachute drop jump! :)

[@IM_GRINCH_]

Hey ik you guys probably won't see this but I like that f 105 model on the wall

[@GuitarGuys7299]

I think someone needs to address the "Gorilla" in the room and make CoCo the Flite Test mascot.

[@crashstitches79]

Koko sat that bird down like a full beverage. Frickin ape straight greased it.

[@keukenrol]

You should add a windscreen in front of Coco and give him a moving throttle as well! ;)

[@thinkatthebrink9786]

could you guys make an RC paramotor for coco? love your vids, lots of fun! Thanks :)

[@ralphquetaya4547]

Coco just flew his first solo, well done Coco, next up, Private Pilots License lol

[@CarlosRodriguez-oq4hq]

Awesome guys

[@ethanharris108]

You can see the streamer twirl in the wingtip vortices :D

[@brianwalsh1844]

You pay peanuts..... Excellent fun movie.

[@Ali-zo4lh]

7:53 COCO'S FLYING!!! 😂🤣😂

[@kcaskmelater5079]

Coco is the best pilot at Flight Test

[@Weightlossjourney24]

This was the funniest thing I've ever seen

[@ljy82]

whoooo.....wow.....I had so much fun watching....thx

[@shmadenreads4550]

Coco looks like he is praying with his hands around the yoke

[@grtech2011]

I bet everyone driving down 77 were like WTF!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jesper87dk]

Flitetest great vid and I godt an idea. Make a Big rc parachute for Coco 😎

[@Siamect]

Coco for president!

[@MachineChrist6]

I definitely didn't hear "dropping some candy" the first time. I had to go back through and make sure it wasn't what I thought it was.

[@a610412]

Really good project!!!

[@thomtimkang1064]

I like your sunglasses 😎 😍😍😍

[@thesmashgamer4896]

What would the neighbours think?😂

[@manuelschulz4693]

WHO is disliking ? Cant stop watching flite Test Video

[@thompsonmccleave9482]

You should make a parachute deployment system for coco

[@Kevin.OBrien44]

My friend flew to Oshkosh with his dad from Maryland

[@scplayz8578]

Dude I loved Oshkosh

[@arleysimpson3678]

That was awesome!!!

[@derjoh1986]

Josh has been visiting the hair doctor?? He's growing hair now! Lol

[@mingusbreeze]

Nice plane.

[@shubhammohanty1098]

Pilot gorrila flying the plane woth 3d printed motor! Its awsome!

[@didactylos4diddy474]

Most people who have slightly mad ideas tend to fail in the execution. Sometimes with style, sometimes not. FT has some pretty mad ideas, most of which work and even the fails are invariably stylish and amusing. This one was a fairly insane concept from the start and, like nearly all of your most insane concepts not only worked but worked well and was flown well. And I still haven't stopped laughing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@aneyelesspig8899]

you must make more videos with Coco flying

[@Mobius118]

Flite Test, please fly the X-02 Wyvern from Ace Combat 04!! It's such a cool plane and I think you guys could take the challenge!

[@organgrind]

Excellent, and a really great landing. Now where's the Gasser Series ?

[@greavous93]

And other great show! Was watching a guy start and operate his car with super capacitors on KZbin. Large foam planes with super capacitors flashed charged off car a battery? I really think the capacitor thing is not fully explored yet.

[@k.w.churchill4397]

Ok...you got me with the ape.....I subbed

[@DanielKezar]

9:35 me, picturing a 20 pound brick of chocolate being dropped on some kids head....

[@markryan3018]

The Title of his episode should be: FliteTest Jumps the Shark!

[@ANTHONIMAX]

Great quality video

[@manaz28jose]

Go. Coco. Go!!! 😎
