[@LoganCanipe]

Ive missed these older style of videos. nice to not watch a commercial

[@nono9370]

Logan Canipe it litterally is a commercial

[@JasonRidesmoto]

Awesome classic Flite Test episode! I've been with you guys from the early days and this brings me back. Keep up the good work guys!

[@theElderberryFarmer]

You just can't beat the magic of a Josh & Josh video! I really enjoyed that, guys - and I am really looking forward to the build video and plans coming out. I see a wing building project in my immediate future.

[@collinknotts361]

This might just be my favorite flitetest episode yet. I love the paint jobs you done especially the mint green and black one. But you guys are honestly changing the world, keep it up!

[@DanielSponholz]

This is one awesome foam board DIY wing. You guys are going to love it! The speed envelope is incredible.

[@avelkm]

Dan, are plans already available? I was waiting for this wing for so long!!!

[@DanielSponholz]

Plans will come out on Wednesday with the build video, as usual. :)

[@ulaB]

Cheater! ;-)

[@DanielSponholz]

+Balu, how can I get the plans right if I don't build one first? ;)

[@ClickingHeads]

Holy crap! You guys are only 30 minutes from my house. I've been flying for like 6 months now and would really love to watch you guys build, and tour your awesome studio

[@FrostbiteUK]

Always a treat to have Mr Scott in a video, please let him know we appreciate it!

[@markyounger319]

You guys continue to inspire - pure and simple. Love from Canada!!

[@petrovski1948]

5* video. I love FliteTest. Everything they do is top quality. Josh makes building these kits look so easy.... I certainly won’t be filming my attempt when I order one of these wings.

[@csman77]

Well I don't think I will be able to resist buying one of these speed build kits! Awesome guys!

[@danielclampitt5012]

Love the videos and that Josh Scott is back regularly! Love Josh Bigler to!!! Great video

[@redneck2994]

Wow that servo horn idea is so simple yet genius. We all have a ton of spare horns.

[@silasmarner7586]

Lovely, refined design. It appears to fly like a dream!

[@stephaniekent8483]

I inherited 3 FT models ..explorer, bronco and spea, cant wait to get them airborne they look fantastic to fly, keep up the great work, high from New Zealand :)

[@joeddejohn]

Looks really interesting. Got me interested. Love the fact you have an enclosed cargo bay on this one.

[@FPVREVIEWS]

best intro ever!

[@paulfaugeras4858]

Please, make more fixed wing FPV episodes : they are the best ! :D Loved it, keep up the great work !

[@MrGriff3737]

I've been waitingnfor you guys to release this! Now just to get more confidence in flying a wing... and flying in general....

[@waynejones3413]

This channel just gets better im hooked

[@alexdunda]

I love it when Josh does these hilarious sketches, makes me laugh!

[@Raychristofer]

This is one of my favorite builds of Ft, makes the more expensive Ritewing Zephyr model almost obselete. The only thing that seems off is the large wide flat rear motor mount section. Gonna create unnecessary drag.

[@NicoMyers]

Those look awesome! Love the paint jobs

[@jefffox8665]

Wednesday is over. Thursday now and no plans yet.....Can't wait, getting impatient. You guy are awesome!!

[@phoeij]

Really cool wing guys!! Hope to see you make a video about setting something up like a Vector. That episode would get a lot of views!! nowadays flightcontrollers on fixed wing aircraft are becoming more and more common (hope the price someday will too ;) but setting them up is just not that easy... And you guys at flighttest will always know a way to help us beginners out with a cool video and great fun to watch :)

[@joshuamelvin]

p hoeij we will get on it brother!

[@MrDRSMAX]

Hey, on the subject of price: The CC3D can be set up for a fixed wing using librepilot, and it's available for really cheap! the standard model only works for stabilization, but if you have the CC3D revolution you can add GPS.

[@joshuamelvin]

HoodooOperator yes. I flew the green wing on a naze 32 with cleanflight. Had good pids on it until I chopped my antenna and killed it and a GoPro. Will do episodes on both. Vector first, then 33mm control boards after.

[@phoeij]

Great Josh!!! Really looking forward to that!

[@justinmtemplar]

Purchased! Excited now

[@Wearyman]

Awesome build, guys. Loved the video. I honestly thought it was a Chipotle Commercial at first, so I actually skipped ahead a bit, saw the girl launching the plane and was like; "Wait a second..." and then went back and rewatched it. Great job!

[@frugaldiyhandyguy9295]

Great video. You guys are just so entertaining and crack me up.

[@nutz4mygirl]

You guys rock! I've said before but I'll say it again... You guys are all awesome and a great inspiration!

[@joshbixler1261]

Thank you brother! You all make it possible for us to have this much fun! Thank you for everything!

[@countryboydollars9556]

That's really awesome I hope to some day get to fly one but I'm gonna stick with my ft duster thanks for making these awesome planes

[@stickmixfpv188]

Boys, you are killing it! What a big surprise you mentioned me! I got goosebumps over all, as I saw my picture! Thank you so much, it is such a great honor for me! I just can't find the right words for it! THANK YOU!

[@DanielSponholz]

Great job on the name, and congrats on making into an FT video. :)

[@stickmixfpv188]

Thanks Dude! You won't believe, how proud and honored I am!

[@DanielSponholz]

I think I have a pretty good idea of how that feels. ;) Congrats again man.

[@joshuamelvin]

Stickmix FPV we have a thank you spear on the way to you brother! Thank you for your input and passion. :)

[@stickmixfpv188]

I have to say THANK YOU! What you guys do for the community is awesome! I've never thought, this could be possible. My first flights happened not even a year ago. Your support with your videos, free plans for great planes and the close contact to you, made a dream come true! THANK YOU JOSH AND THE COMPLETE FT CREW!

[@planesofpaper]

Awesome video. I really enjoyed watching it.

[@jorockgalvan]

Great episode!

[@jimp.6705]

Ordered the speed-build kit and PP-C today!

[@1998floris]

Great vid guys!

[@mboiko]

Great to see Josh again....missed ya buddy.

[@michaelkaler3138]

Looks sharp guys. Will have to add to fleet.

[@gfaehu23]

Wonderful wing!

[@MrRenoman2011]

Man you guys are fun!

[@joshuawang8456]

Yay! Josh Scott is back!

[@thomasrusso6722]

Bro, that's awesome!

[@idontneednostinkingchannel6848]

How could you not LIKE this stuff?

[@carlosmci01]

Good to see you again josh s.

[@reckemroysrc3764]

good to see Josh Scott doing the flying

[@3DMOFO2020]

0:00-1:42 Fun way to start a new episode plus that burrito looks very tasty too Josh LOL! The Spear looks like a lot of fun I'll give it a shot sometime?

[@admiralpercy]

JOSH SCOTT I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU

[@Starfighter-nk4mo]

I am tempered to build this then make a deployable parachute out of the large cargo space for soft and easy landings. You could just it a switch on the transmitter and it would come down slowly.

[@sakfpv8444]

Man I miss Josh Scott. This is one of my favorite flite test episodes.

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

That intro was awesome! XD

[@cameronbest]

can you do a video about how to do GPS waypoints on a flying wing and a quadcopter on a pixhawk or other flight controller?

[@porporbiba7444]

At first i thoght. Hmm why this AWSOME video has only 144 views... O its only up for like 30 min. This is amazing bild, and video is olso very intresting in all categories. Great job. I'll probebly will bild one two!

[@kidalainababy5337]

This is the future of drone

[@MichaelVanHeemst]

"Flying in the air so high!" - Steph

[@evelyndai8200]

Michael Van Heemst then i crash into my ass!!!!!!!

[@invento123]

Josh is back!!!

[@c.youngberg9511]

Ok, first time I saw the Spear, I thought, "Oh look! A FT Arrow with a wider fuselage, really original! Good job, guys!" (Insert massive amounts of sarcasm). Now that I watch this video on the FT Spear, I get it now. Shweet!! Flying lunchbox, I like it!

[@FliteTest]

Thanks for watching Curtis! Flying lunchbox indeed! ;) S.O.

[@matthewonnen4030]

EPIC!!!! You guys should do that for the next challenge. See how much items u could hold. Large items worth 3, medium 2, small items 1. And it has to be able to fly correctly no Vector, SAFE or any form of stabilization

[@ZeroFPV]

Will this be available @ Graupner too? I'm more in RC Helis and Miniquads but this seem to be pure fun.

[@halofanatiks]

loved the intro

[@sophiaazelia]

Josh & Josh!!! That's why I subscribed, make more videos together please!!!!!

[@annacatton5929]

The sheer joy on his face as he bites the burrito... And I'm hungry now.

[@FliteTest]

Right!...Everytime i watch this i get hungry for some reason! ;) Thanks for watching Joe! S.O.

[@annacatton5929]

Well this never happens! (-:

[@larsfroelich]

omg I'm so going to put a raspberry pi in that thing. :D thanks a lot guys!

[@darkassain4382]

My friend who is stoner walked in and watched the whole part with the Chipotle drone and creamed his jeans. Just wanted to let you know! Also awesome vid

[@alexandre84657]

parabens staff !!!! very good

[@TheHexperience]

Thumbs up for an old school flitetest video. Hi I'm Josh and this is Josh.... flitetest...

[@charliespann3967]

Josh and Josh crack me up.

[@DoRC]

Definitely one of the better ways to integrate advertising..

[@dstu322]

I've been trying to figure out how to put a center spar in the arrow, but there's no room. both of my arrows fell apart at the center section after many hours of flying (and crashing). it looks like the spear solves that problem- buying my DTFB this weekend!

I love it.

[@HobkinBoi]

You guys should revisit this project, and actually make the drone airdrop burritos. And have it do so through GPS, returning to its start position to land.

[@rfpcs1]

I have a Wild Wing I built a few years ago it had a brushed motor and just would''t fly except into the ground, after a few modifications and a brush-less motor it fly's like and sounds like a JET.

[@julianhumphrey4843]

Great video as always, do you guys ever fly with eagletree guardian, i use them in all my wings C1 chaser and a pair of little eashine 680 blackwings

[@yousefabdelgaber7498]

The color scheme looks official

[@ethanstone8863]

You guys should make a series of videos like the beginner guide to RC planes but do one for quadcopters and another for FPV.

[@alwishy2696]

Parts ordered :-)))

[@ploofnoob3582]

hey I love your work It's cool to see that you can make this stuff do you have an Idea for a starter plane I really want to get started on this hobby.

[@dmayniak]

i hate to plug the big name but to get the range and the hd downlink, with the sbus benefits, the ocusync option is there, a little slow in video downlink at 4k.. but ir works, i wish eagletree would add hd vtx to the vector ststem... but

[@awquad7469]

So what we really need now is something in between :D Something that is bigger than the arrow to fit a bigger motor (thinking of a Himax 3514 2900kv), a bigger battery (thinking of a 6s 1800 (or maybe two 3s 1800 (which would be configurable as 6s 1800 or 3s 3600 for long range))) and a gopro, but no additional cargo space so one could build a seriously fast gopro-carrying wing. :D

[@LoganKaval]

That burrito looks good.

[@Chazz155511]

You guys got to review the new Li- ion batteries. Also, do some more comps.

[@BestHakase]

Lol, intro is so great!

[@aerospacematt9147]

The skit in the beginning! Nice! What did the worker say when you asked her to launch an RC plane? “This wasn’t in the training!”

[@DonDegidio]

Hey Josh, How was the burrito? :-)

[@forrestscholin4423]

wow

[@X9jaykay9x]

Forrest Scholin a

[@trapperjohn7571]

When are the free build plans for the burrito coming out?

[@ameerhadi3670]

nice video

[@crazyvahillbilly3373]

very good you all I like it ty

[@zippy3711]

Hi, guys I have made a bunch of speed wings (elavons) and I always wanted to have a gyro on the ailerons . How do I do it when I am mixing ail. and elevator?

[@LemberTheMember]

Josh Scott is back 😃

[@MsF4ucorsair]

Is there a way you could get the FPV to 'talk' to a smartphone/tablet? If you could, I think that would be a great alternative to the commercial version.

[@ElectricalDynamo]

thats cool guys

[@jamesd7007]

this is a cool vid Im not sure which Im going to buy this or the mini spear

[@LemberTheMember]

Nice wing i will build one

[@Goblin_or_riot]

good choice of mustard

[@RogerRabbit342]

Hey Lads, Whats the FPV video quality like? Bid delays? Grainy? I want to get into FPV Cheers

[@swisscheese1024]

The way burritos should be delivered

[@robertsimpson4693]

FANTASTIC ! Great Intro. Vid !! Who writes your "copy" ! !

[@LaDK4]

Hi FT. Do you have an ETA on when the Spear will be available through Graupner? If it ever will. Thanks

[@SlyPai]

First time finding this channel Holy fuck i wanna make those now! They seem so fun, used to own like a Foam Warhog plane but the nose broke off so i stopped flying it, but now i wanna make planes like that, i think i know what im doing next summer.

[@awesomerctest8129]

can you make plans for the larger arrow that you showed? if there are plans for that can someone share them with me?

[@benjaminfriedman6078]

Anyone know when they are going to do a video on the vector system?

[@genesisfpv]

FREAKING SWEEET!

[@makingthings277]

Is there such a thing as a radio controller handoff? As in fly to the outer limits of your range, turn your controller off, and have someone else pickup control?

[@TheThumbsUpChannel]

Jon Gordon I don’t think so but that would be awsome
