On todays episode of understanding Flite Test: "Winter's coming in hot" = Winter weather is approaching quickly. "Back on the build train" = We have started building kits again. "Glue globulations" = A large amount of hot glue required to fix a broken airframe. "Nom noms" = Rubber bands/zip ties for repairing broken airframes? Lol love the vids guys! Finally ordered my Scout SBK and floats! Can't wait to get it together 👍

[@ourtube1128]

beautiful

[@GavinRemme]

"Winter is coming in hot" Things only Alex says lol

[@FliteTest]

I tell you what, that is just the tip of the iceberg! haha

[@chrish5286]

Next challenge: throttle on a switch. 0% or %100 no in between😂😂

[@FliteTest]

OH i like it! ;)

[@calebsherman886]

FliteTest Haha yes!

[@planeaddicted]

This is an amazing idea!

[@collinxsmith]

Exactly what I was thinking! Like what Quadmovr did.

[@liquidsky5428]

That's what i have setup on my Phoenix 2000. I use throttle stick for flaps and crow.

[@richb313]

Barely built planes, Unstable aerodynamics, Fly Flat Out Challenge, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (You decide which is which), Epic Confirmation that Steel Poles are Harder than Foam, this Vlog delivers seasonal fun and laughs. Great job guys. Here is wishing all of you and and your Flite Test Guys, Gals and Families the very best Christmas and Joyous New Year. My wishes for you in the New Year are continued success and increasing fun filled adventures.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You guys are getting crazier every episode and having more fun exponentially - love it!! This was so fun to watch. 😆👍🏼

[@Shaklor]

That drone footage with your dog at the end was one of the coolest snippets of film I have ever witnessed!

[@youmakeitreal]

Alex & Stefan Dynamic Duo! The highest ratio of laughs per minute (LPM'S) You guys are the best period.

[@HatfieldCW]

I love to see FliteTest people flying FliteTest designs. I fly FT planes almost exclusively, and it's a blast to go out with a buddy, pass our transmitters back and forth and take turns trying to one-up each other. Or maybe we'll just play a game of catch, doing wingtip catches/launches with a Versa or Bloody Wonder or Tiny Trainer until we run out of either batteries or airframes. The joy of flying with friends is a real thing, and FliteTest does a great job capturing that.

[@ethanfilewych6754]

The arrows are honestly the best ft planes I have ever built I built 3 of them. (not that I've built alot) but I really like it. Its fun, durable, fast, and easy to build. I don't like the battery door though seems to always come unlatched during flying and there's not alot of space inside for battery.. But never the less I love it. Keep up the good work ft!

[@benjaminchippeaux4140]

File's Flyin' I built a twin motor arrow and it flies great

[@ethanfilewych6754]

Twin motor?! Where did you put em on the wing tips? haha

[@benjaminchippeaux4140]

File's Flyin' nah, they were a little farther out than the servos

[@ethanfilewych6754]

Cool!

[@FliteTest]

OH very nice! Files Flyin' WE LOVE the arrow, so glad you have had such a good time!... Benjamin, please create an article or a forum post and post your pics and flight footage... We would LOVE to see this dual motor arrow! ha ;)

[@swissfreek]

These vlogs with Alex and Stefan always have me in tears. Hilarious.

[@gavingreen8908]

do you think you guys could make a dc-3, its a really iconic plane from world war 2 and id think it be really cool to see in RC form

[@flyfishyfred8730]

Definitely! But it needs a paratrooper drop rack so you can lay a line of troops like d-day.

[@gavingreen8908]

yeah that would be really cool!

[@garrykennedy5484]

You neeeeeeeeed to make a plane out of that LOOOOOOOONG tube inside the banner!!!!!!!!! LOL That would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm told not all of my thoughts should be expressed. 8(... )

[@darkshadowsx5949]

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary thats a fuuuuuuuuuuuuun idea!!!!!!! tuuuuuuuuuuuuuubular box plane ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol what have i become? someone kill me....

[@brainvom1t]

I agree! Same idea when I saw him

[@MultiChristjesus]

you two have the most infectious laughter. thanks for the giggles .

[@seaskimmer]

You gotta love Stefan laughing,he just brings a smile to your face. Even better slowed down in his 'demonic' voice.

[@kelticpaddler]

Stefan's laugh cracks me up 😂 Wish he was my brother.

[@PaulDWeber]

love the LAUGH !!! ALSO, DOG running in SNOW ! playin all happy

[@TouchnGoRC]

You guy's should race the arrows through the woods. Thanks FliteTest for awesome Vlogs! :)

[@cooksey47]

Always answer wifey! Good job hahaha Those dang poles! Lol

[@SeabornNomad]

Watching this again makes me realize how fast you guys got so far!

[@SirLyonhart]

I want to see Stefan and Alex build the SE5a and Dr1 and fight them in the back yard. That would be epic. You guys are great!

[@goriverman]

Cold and very windy here. I can deal with the snow and cold but the wind is tough. I enjoyed your video, you guys rock.

[@thenatedog]

Great episode! Even though I helped people at Flite Fest West build them I haven't actually built one myself yet it looks like a fun little plane.

[@BigDiesel330]

That awkward moment you are trying to go to sleep and you get that Flite Test notification. Also, now you need to make the banner box fly.

[@DanielCValot]

THAT WAS GREAT!!!! I love your channel, I love hyper power and like to keep it exciting!

[@bryanmadewell8896]

That was some serious fun. I had tears in my eyes from laughing. Awesome video.

[@DirtyBob2001]

You guys completely killed my desire to build the arrow. My wife thanks you.

[@nathaniel7238]

I used to be a fly hard pilot like you, but then I took an FT arrow to the knee :P

[@OKmediaOC]

I'd bingewatch a series of you guys building a large scale WIG like the Caspian Sea Monster! One that could fire model rockets from the tubes and everything!

[@gonzo5912]

looks like it flies like a cow in a tornado.

[@nathan1sixteen]

The Arrow is, by far, my favorite FliteTest plane!!

[@jaysyourhandyman]

I love watching the antics coming from you guys. You can make anything fly!!! Watching you guys unbox your sponsor banners gave me an idea.... Make the banner box fly!! Like a rocket or vector motor. With enough angle of attack, you could do it!!!!

[@spitkwad2746]

A Man, a Mavic, and his dog. Love that ending. Mei vs Max who has better flight-line/hanger manners?

[@cooksey47]

Hahahaha I love you guys!!! Hahahah I laugh almost all videos so entertaining and you guys are so cool I am so blessed I was able to meet you and hang for a day! Never a dull moment. Your doing awesome! And Stephan ur such a gymnast! Lol

[@groseboi2178]

You guys seriously need to remove those poles 😭😂😂

[@FliteTest]

haha! it would def improve our Flying... ha

[@timcuatt1640]

And remove that wonderful "PING" sound?

[@rippingj6017]

You two had me laughing great video guys, and happy holidays

[@JorgeTarafa]

I would like to see scale FPV builds and techniques. As in, the Mustang with a scale FPV setup giving the mid-wing over the cowling cockpit view that a real pilot would have.

I really miss my arrow... Best scratch build I ever tried.

[@alexkovats4795]

I laughed out loud when Alex hit the pole the second time

[@AlexJoneses]

Haha, the box would be a fun challenge to make a fuselage with!

[@tbirdracefan]

thought the same thing.

[@psieonic]

Thought the same thing, please, yes, so much this. XD

[@wlamberton]

yes that would be cool

[@williamenglish7599]

the slo mo bits are great!

[@analog56x]

slo-mo Stefan laugh is the best

[@FoFrx]

insane crash you madman....love the dog footage!

[@texas-linemangaming731]

flite test cub comes in the mail today, my little brother is going to have the best Christmas ever.

[@rcspeedracers6463]

That was brilliant. That's how most of my challenges end 👍

[@willemspencer9067]

You guys are awesome, great fun video!

[@970Pantydroper]

The joy on that pupp running around at the end warmed my heart.

[@TryAgainFPV]

This is the part of flite test i miss the most. Alex and Stefan just goofin around for the vlog.

[@fxrdchino]

Woah that’s some crazy wind or really high rates! Alex, about 102 vlog’s ago you did air to air shots from 2015. Think you could throw together some 2017 archived footage, love seeing your guys’ air to air videos.

[@hobie1613]

I find it funny that Alex said “Oh No!!!!” When he still has time to save himself!

[@Woah.its.alex_]

good job guys, i want to start flying planes so this is the channel to watch, awesome job

[@turmat01]

Working at FT looks like the dream job! I bet you guys stay in after work just to fly in the FT field! XD

[@SeabornNomad]

This was awesome. How small and light a flying wing can you make?

[@alecjahn]

Aha! Classic VLOG shenanigans. I hope Stefan called back!

[@TheWatchMker]

hahaha stefan and his wife. love you guys

[@jyunte]

Alex, aka, "Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci"... Dances with wolves. Lol

[@JorgeTarafa]

Awesome job guys.

[@QuickCookie]

Did you guys run to fix it and fly it again?

[@ethanzarian3163]

Thank you for these amazing with us I hope one day I can make my own plans as well and be able to attend your events thank you for inspiring me not to give up on the dream of this Hobby

[@brunoadriao1280]

Alex!! 😂😂 ESC poopin?! Hahaha!!!

[@chazco]

you guys are crazy. I love it Do it again Chuck

[@DominicanSheik]

I'm on the floor over here, that wing hit something and it was still in the air lmao

[@goober24787]

Great video! Keep it up guys

[@christopherrhoderick9706]

Build two of those and double stack them like a biplane. Great video as always

[@AlexJoneses]

I'm working on designing plans for the Grumman f6f hellcat and Mitsubishi A6m Zero (my first warbird) and they would make great foam board airplanes, maybe even a way to test retracts that you could put in future builds.

[@joshbrown8450]

Just checking on my request I made earlier this year, about a yf-23 and p-82 twin mustang. How’s it coming along guys, I can’t wait hate what amazing plane it would look like. I realy hope y’all have another flight fest south because I’d love to go, I hope u guys have a wonderful Christmas and keep up the good original work 👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@Rando104854]

FT Super Bee build between you two!!!! and fly hard

[@HomeGrownCanadianFPV]

awesome episode.... poor wing ;)

[@reillys7981]

One of the best crashes in flitetest history comming in on 11:56

[@spyder000069]

When did Alex become a madman? Great vid!

[@microbuilder]

I wish I could go fly outside, without freezing to death... On a side note, fast and low is one of the must fun combinations possible with an RC plane!

[@FliteTest]

I heard that Microbuilder! Low and Fast is BOMB! ;) . Heres to wishing you more flying fun in LESS cold weather! ha

[@microbuilder]

Only 3 long months to go! lol Thank goodness for indoor flyers.

[@cookie4524]

FliteTest maybe its time to come back to Florida then ;)

[@wickedreelz5028]

I live in Key west... 86 degrees today lmao.

[@hobie1613]

The Arrow is one of my favorite FT planes!

[@miketech2]

How many Mavic’s do you have? I want to see a Mavic agility contest. Maybe a few laps around that FPV track?!

[@aguyontheinterwebs3576]

Great vid guys

[@jacobbruce4426]

Lol always answer for the wife!!! 😂

[@SycamoreRCSpeedway]

I already told Austin this, but everyone builds their own ft 3d with fpv setups and then run an rc red bull air race. It's has to be at the shop, and each plane has an onboard lap time sensor. Add the flag poles as a slalom section and a Paradigm PPG pylon into the course and you have yourselves a challenge!

[@addmister]

Hey guys, I'd love to see some more videos on the faomy builds with troubleshooting. In the build videos they seem to fly perfectly first try. Every build I've done I've had all sorts of issues and I've found it really hard to progress past them since I usually have no idea where to start troubleshooting. Would be great to go further into the issues Alex mentioned: slop in the control surfaces and potential issues with vertical stabilisers. Why are they problems, how can you spot them and what can you do to fix them?

[@JDMAXX-kb5su]

Lmao 😂 Great 👍 vid. Do more like this one please.!! 😎👍✌🏼🎄

[@birminghamresident1410]

Hi great video guys!!

[@Kylejeepadventures]

when will flite test be moving to the new HQ place where Josh talked about on a podcast. at the Golf Course?

[@TheWatchMker]

i still love the slowmo laughs

[@dusterl1472]

It would be awesome if you guys could do a video on the equipment you use. Hot glue guns, prop balancers, chargers, scales, paint, any tools or materials. I know you've talked about what a beginner could/should get, but it would be cool to see what you guys personally use.

[@hobie1613]

Yay another fly as hard challenge!!!

[@Siamect]

Nut's-house... well done!

[@stan5148]

hehe Cool and Stefan sound like Alex in the Slowmo Part Rofl

[@maxwolf1602]

I want a compilation of 100% Stefan laughing

FIX THAT WING :) I've ripped my Arrow apart so many times ;)

[@robbutler19777]

hey how's it going? thanks for the videos. I have a suggestion for a new wing. when I was building the FT X-29 and put the wing together it looked like a sick flying wing! I haven't had to make it yet or try it but if you blew up just the wing part of the FT X-29 about 200% and put a motor on it and see how well it would fly?

[@TheKeseppa]

Love you 10 minutes. :D

[@Olivier-C]

4S on a red bottom and a 12A ESC, I guess that slowdown was thermal protection :)

[@FliteTest]

haha!

[@rustygolfer3475]

The banner box would be a great fuselage. Hey who put that pole there? LOL

[@meoutdoors6106]

It seems like it was yesterday when you guys put a Christmas tree on a quad. Man time flys...

[@Tyrivh]

Flite test guys please design unswept mini wing for fpv based on diff. thrust like the super bee. I need a simple small build that's gonna do crazy speed like a quad and having some yaw. 4s stuff please ;) Take it as winter challenge or make it then challenge a quadcopter on a simple track. Nice video btw!

[@cameronmoore1491]

13:12 thank you for that...😂

[@josepherickson7618]

Love the video awesome

[@Jabbey71]

Nice video, I'm looking to build a wing. Of all of the flitetest wings, which one is probably the most popular model to build. No fpv in mind yet. Just some backyard flying. Thanks.

[@FliteTest]

Arrow is quality bc of the ease and quickness of build ;) but Versa is awesome too!

[@Jabbey71]

FliteTest Ok, thanks.

[@Jabbey71]

FliteTest for the versa would you build the regular or blunt nose?

[@Andingo86]

That was awesome hahaha

[@Lucas_Schaar]

Hey flite test I really want to see you guys make a diy auto level plane using an old quad FC running iNav. Ive got a Naze im going to put in to my simple scout when i build it, but it would be cool to see you guys make a video to help fixed wing noobs like myself! Not all of us run spektrum and can just buy an as3x receiver :)

[@BLURby84]

Masterpiece challenge. Paint a picture with a quad. Fpv

[@teflonmike]

Idea: Make those shipping boxes fly!

[@mouse6196]

Definitely more builds....It's winter now
