We Made an Airplane Out of Crashed Airplanes

Today Alex and Stefan take a bunch of planes parts from their airplane boneyard and pieced together what they call, the Trash plane!

“Use your rudder a lot. Just a tiny bit, but not a lot.” - best flight briefing ever.

[@Zankaroo]

I think that was word misuse, lol. I think he meant use it frequently but small inputs.

[@z06leo29]

Just watched that part 😂😂😂

[@BrandonMcCrackan]

PLEASE do a challenge where you have two or three different teams and each team builds a different section of the plane (Tail, Wings, fuselage/power, etc). None of the teams will know what the others section looks like until the ending when you try to put it together and fly. Set up a couple rules as far as general size and what not but overall try to make it weird and have fun!

[@genelomas332]

yes..! do this.. that would be a real franken-plane.. ;)

[@mascatrails661]

another vote for this sweet idea

[@benwilson089]

[@thebasicdude1013]

hiy-yah

[@mentalvmaxrider]

Yes!!! Please!!!!

[@PeterSripol]

HAHAHAHa that reversed motor launch... heh thats not the first time Stephan threw an airplane with the propeller going the wrong way! ;D

[@FliteTest]

lol RIP pretty little Sea Otter:)

[@FliteTest]

thanks for making me feel better about myself... -Alex

[@Skyfighter64]

I work on GA aircraft for a living. Mostly Cessna 152s, 172s, and Piper Senecas. Piper Senecas have a Left turning engine on the right wing. A left turning engine means that the starter has to turn to the right. It's the only model of aircraft we work on at my job that uses this starter. My co-worker had just replaced a starter on a 152, as part of a 100-hour inspection, I believe, but when he went to start the engine, it just wouldn't fire. I was working on a separate project at the time, but I happened to look that direction after the second or third attempt to start the plane. "Isn't the prop supposed to turn the other direction?!" He didn't believe me at first... but he quickly realized that he had put the wrong starter motor on. I still like to rag on him for that every once in a while.

[@hachipanki8634]

Whaddya doing here buddy? XD

[@lacucaracha111111]

The Trash plane, 50% rudder 50% plane

[@huntermervyn3646]

Is that referring to the spongebob meme?

[@air-headedaviator1805]

“The glue is flowing, so we’re still going.” *put it on a shirt*

[@ericjkovach]

Agreed! And make in in big and tall sizes please

[@Gosuminer]

I wanted to ask "why?" but then I recognized I haven't been entertained that well in quite some time. Way to go!

[@darthphaser2991]

It's refreshing to witness seasoned professionals having catastrophic launches after hours and hours of tedious hard work. Thanks for that..

[@rickgilliland5280]

All the grace and speed of the goodyear blimp in a hurricane, I loved it. Airspeed .04 nmph rotf lmao

[@WildCaptures]

Oscar The Grouch called and he wants his plane back! 👍🏻😂👍🏻

[@skyshark1397]

now this is the kind of trash that i want in my house

[@ghost_ship_supreme]

You should try making the plane from STAURT LITTLE! You know, the one made wth combs and stuff?

[@thegeniusman8757]

OMG, Its a weird plane that is disproportionate and plays Ode to Joy! What more can you ask?

[@CalebT_RC]

Guys I’m hoping you could be here for the Grand opening for our new model field in Grantspass, Oregon

[@Oz_Gnarly_One]

CalebRCFlyer Caleb Teel best off emailing them, who knows if thy ever read these comments.

[@SA-co5sm]

you should test if the rudder can come off from excessive control inputs One of the greatest boneyard resurrection. Great video!

[@FliteTest]

Thanks for watching!

[@kschwords9223]

Can we get plans for this?

[@dkgamingdoctor9972]

Hey guys! :) Big fan :) Could you guys try to make something Like The caspian sea monster? I Think They are called Ekranoplan :) Best regards From Denmark :)

[@crashstitches79]

Ekranoplan would be siiiick!

[@goriverman]

That was amazing , you can make anything fly. How about that garbage can. Lmao

[@milkhbox]

Giant garbage can edf with fat stubby wings?

[@plasticbutcher]

Like an Edf Geebee, dig the idea!!!

[@MartinCarenaSantiago]

This needs to happen 😂

[@yucannthahvitt251]

Do it

[@milkhbox]

@@plasticbutcher no, I mean that early attempt at a ducted fan design. The entire fuselage was a big tube with a plane engine in the middle. Google it. It's a fugly beauty of a plane.

[@jamieh4x4]

i laughed so hard when it finally flew with the landing gear thrown in the front. good work :)

[@Gantorin]

Has the vlog series come to an end, or are the coming back? Or... have they just been renamed?

[@GrapeSodaGarage]

Timothy Messer same here I’ve been wondering...

[@ookmarc]

Don't start the video off with a flying plane. It spoils the video!

[@videomax72]

That is only because this 2 secs is the only interesting part of the whole 20min long episode..

[@matthewpiper4328]

If it didn't fly, it wouldn't make to to a video. So it really isn't a spoiler.

[@lucasurquiza554]

videomax72 no it isn’t, this video is actually quite entertaining and fun! ( well that’s my opinion anyway)

[@magictwo6675]

@@videomax72 Nobody Forces you to watch the video

[@TrentonPalmer]

Sick shirt Alex!!!

[@FliteTest]

first shirt that's not black that I've worn in a while:)

[@hakimchannel]

more episodes like this, try and fail stuff

[@ToddLarsen]

The trash plane turned out awesome! Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍

[@FliteTest]

Thanks for watching!

[@rosedruid]

Retracting the landing gear really helps the aerodynamics!

[@kevinshen9391]

"Retracting." More like "Detaching"

[@AddictedRC]

Honestly, I really did not want to watch the Trash Plane vid. I avoided it. .... And It was a .... BIG MISTAKE! So. Much. Awesome. I'll never skip another FT vid. Ever. My apologies. And, Thank You, FT!

[@dennischeslock7782]

Talk about off the wall that was great!!!!!!!!!

[@mattshellback9258]

Alex, looks like you are running out of ideas. If you're man enough I have a challenge for you. Make the Caspian Sea Monster Ekranoplan with edf's.

[@robertlunsford1350]

I can't even get my regular kits to fly most of the time. Well for more than like 5 seconds. Send me some of that pile. Maybe I could make enough that at least one would fly.

[@MrCreeper-ou8nu]

I call it "the bone breaker"

[@eriknulty6392]

sooooo, large scale hang glider for Coco the chimp???? attempt #4

[@rickgarcia8237]

Great laughs. You guys are fun to watch.

[@helir00]

Garbage literally !! Wicked video Alex / Stefan - love the bone yard builds - you should rename them Mcgyver builds. Or Mr T build. No blow torch needed :) Kool video chaps - had me laughing

[@michaelakins7774]

Wasnt that tune Ode to Joy? Beethoven...love it \

[@FPVREVIEWS]

That noise from the ESC/motor was classic ripple current overloading the inlet caps in the ESC. shorten the wires between ESC's and battery, or add low ESR caps. you guys should know better by now. entertaining nonetheless.

[@Rfernandes.]

Walmart glider high starter

[@mikeupton5406]

But all my planes are trash planes..... I like to call it Green Aviation.

[@mascatrails661]

What a fail on the hill! Thanks for seeing it through and making it fly beautifully

[@g-3609]

Suggestion: make a flying model of the serenity please.it will be soo fun ......plsssss

[@DaedalusProps]

FRANKENPLANE RESURRECTED

[@zusammen88]

Omfg my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. Im pretty sure this is my new favorite video from you guys. I just got into your videos recently so I haven't watched all of it yet. Definitely going to, and always looking forward to more new content and continuing to build your planes and buy power packs.

[@robertmckay694]

Whoever added the whale footage... you’re game is so on.

[@wheresmynamego1152]

I love the guy but somebody needs to talk to Stefan about hand launching

[@vonn1334]

The same electronics they called trash are the ones I save for months to get

[@g-3609]

I want to see your reaction when u see the next star wars movie and they add this thing as a fighter ....lol

[@jgplanes5183]

This is just what we all needed; a good belly laugh on Saturday night. Thanks guys, and have a great weekend!

[@jakecassar1114]

flying pirate-ship build?

[@iancasselton5617]

Best flight test vid ever, I was in tears by the end

[@jeffvenable3845]

I cannot believe you guys stuck that out

[@sixnos]

hello after this epoch you should build the models of this bare. "Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines." congratulations!!!

[@buzzbombtoo]

You guys are so inspiring. It's because of you and others on youtube that I got my son and I two $20 quads, and we have had a blast. Then I bought a $30 quad and made it FPV, on the cheap, thanks to Fred at your store. That blast has now become a boom. I'm not quite done seeing where I can take this quad... Mods, baby, mods. But I can see where this is going. I want to fly. Stuff. I've watched so many of your videos where you just make stuff fly, that I want to do it. When I'm done quadding, I'm going to get some board, tear down my toy quads and just build stuff! That flys! I hope. I'm already mentally planning crazy stuff, once I learn how fly a plane. The journey not only continues, it just got a whole lot more releasing and interesting. I can't thank you enough.

[@Noah.lee49]

hey flit test when I am older I want to be able to make rc planes and know more about how planes work but I don't know what you can do in college that's about building and making planes so I was wondering if you could reply to this and tell me how you learned about planes and how they work and how to make them fly because I don't know if its something in college or if you can go to places to take classes so if you know or anyone that is reading this if you could just reply and tell me that would be great. thank you(;

[@spyersecol0013]

Look into airframe and powerplant technician school.

[@Noah.lee49]

Thank ou

Great line: "The glue is still flowin' so we're still goin'!"

[@kevinshen9391]

So this is what a sailplane is...

[@mohannadmalik5373]

lol it turns like a boat it flys like trash its a boashtail!

[@niq872]

once it got flying it looked nice

[@telephony]

It looks like a pile of flying rubbish; all you need do now is get a flying dustbin (garbage can) and try to "land" the flying rubbish into the flying dustbin while they're both airborne. :-D That thing looks totally stupid but it flies remarkably well!!! :-) Thank you for sharing!!! :-D

[@adamkirwan3474]

You guys are amazingly inspirational

[@FinalGlideAus]

Awww my vertical stabilizer flies again :)

[@FliteTest]

This video is inspired and dedicated to Chad Nowak after seeing his perseverance and primal rage when he ripped this vertical stabilizer off of his aircraft shortly after he was in an actual plane crash himself.

[@scottallen6970]

that thing is a keeper guys

[@VicknairDoesThings]

This is flite test gold! I love the crazy plane builds!! I know y’all are busy and have kids and stuff but please keep it up Alex and Stefan!!!!!!! 🤘👍👌🤯👾🤖

[@Hayjax25]

Can I have a plane you are going to throw out so it does not go to waste

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

Fantastic! I would've loved to see Bixler's reaction when it flew so well at the end. Enjoyed!

[@Ro-Bucks]

It's like Kerbal lol

[@Pablo668]

Ugly, but it worked in the end. That large tail plane made it look....Russian. Love the fun you guys have.

[@HansMilling]

With so much experience you have, why do you hand launch planes 45 degrees up. That is an instant stall happening. At the top of rhe hill, you should launch straight out.

[@robertmckay694]

No freakin way! Nice!

[@michaelstern1945]

Is there anyone that gives out awards for this category?😂😂😂

[@geetasara6888]

Did you donate it? 😂

[@jghanson25]

This is purely beautiful. It just makes all the sense in the world to me and it’s beautiful.

looks like a Junkers.

It'll never fl.... 😲 Jeez - SO graceful, so ugly. You guys could make anything fly. You guys could pribably even get Hillary Clinton elected...Nah, just kidding. Never seen Alex's nose in harsh lighting before. He has a buttnose. It's like a young Karl Malden's.

Self educated since the age of twelve(Internet is a great resource!). I have a drivers license and no criminal record...but I’m cool with working in the shadows. I can make coffee.

[@55Wings]

Way too much vertical fin/rudder. According to Frank Zaic's writings that contributes to spiral instability. But a fun experiment.

[@echo1sn]

Any giveaways. My job got outsourced and I'm unemployed until I relocate. I'm new to flight and built a 24 in. Powerless Corsair just for practice.

This guy's can fly almost everything... 🤣

So, I was thinking you made the Spitfire and the Mustang could you please make a Focke Wulf 190 I will be very glad if you could make it. Focke Wulf is my favorite ww2 plane. Thank you

You guys should start a WHOLE NEW PLAYLIST Called "Junk planes" where you take different parts of planes from the junk yard and make new stuff. it could literally make a whole series of highly enjoyable videos!

What do you guys do when your not making video's...for the company...what is your jobs at FliteTest?

[@boomdaddy1428]

Sure wish you guys would do some gasser/nitro videos for us old school flyers!!! I've had three nitro planes in my life, which equaled three total flights (you can use your imagination as to how each nitro flight ended)!!!! Now I keep my RC's firmly on the ground (electric short course trucks, and speed runs cars) Electric is AWESOME, But nothing tops the sound of a gasser/nitro plane, call me nostalgic!!! Love y'alls videos keep up the content, just wish y'all would pay a little homage to the old school!!!! Lol!!!!

Do we have a status on FFCalifornia yet for next year? We have a really big build in the process and we were going to have it at FF in California this year but...nope, bye FFCALI2018. We’d like to have it at FF in 2019 but we can’t go to anywhere out of state.

[@OH8STN]

Outstanding video 👍👍👍

[@dwheeld1664]

When I first started flying, this is the only way I could afford to fly... I would watch the trash can at the flying field closely and 're-purpose' parts of other peoples crashes. By the way, long, thin boxes make excellent fuselages.....

[@tayro7265]

LOL "What happened?" Do you want a list? Alphabetically, severity or by comic intensity? I took a drink as you said that. You owe me a keyboard!
