Boys, remember your high school physics, acceleration of a falling object is 9.8 m/s/s regardless of weight, until it reachs a terminal velocity of 118mph, in a bomber, the pilot did not release the bombs, they had someone else aboard who did.

[@SpareTimeProjects1]

Terminal velocity is not 118mph for all objects. I know you know this. Just your post made it sound like that so I wanted to make sure if someone else came along they had that clarification

[@withoutstickers]

Correct, Mass does not influence acceleration, but it does influence the force on the object, so a heavier bomb will hit the ground with a greater force

[@vernonlloyd1388]

Fpv camera with cross hair would be the job 👍

Seems Dave is becoming the star of the show. His innovations are outstanding. Watch out Josh!

[@davidjester5085]

Thank you for the kind words but no one could ever replace that man. He is the one and only

[@kovzy727]

@@davidjester5085 yeah i was about to say 😂

[@RobertDensmore]

agreed 😆

[@bradleysmith2021]

Have you considered adding a bombardier’s camera? A second man could have a VR headset and a radio with stick control…approaching the target, the bombardier takes over and guides it in and releases.

[@elizabeth79014]

That’s hat I almost said then I read this comment And 2, you could also use a normal camera, but facing downward with great fps and cross-hares.

[@theeddytor3490]

we (me and my nephews and nieces) made drop bombs too but we used paper mesh to make shell rather than using plastic or 3d printed parts since those were kinda suppose to explode and spread out powdered color fillings. also i forgot to mention one of my nephew used those empty juice box as shell. easier to fill and no cost in built.

[@kyler_johnny]

idea: Make an airport out of cardboard, fill it with anti air guns, and have a bomber plane attack it

[@timothywachowicz8308]

Flying Tank was THE Flight Test GOAT Episode!!! Such a victory! It wasn't suppose to fly yet fly it did! Personal Favourite!! Bring on the massive flying tank please. Good vibrations to the whole flight test Crew, fans, builders & flyers!

[@reesepotter8954]

Would love to see the B-25 XL as a kit! Great inspiration as always!

[@stephencantbewrong8250]

Completely agree!

[@Red-Devil-Dog]

PLEASE do more of these. I love the destruction type videos. Especially the b17.

[@kkuenzel56]

You guys look like you guys have more fun than what is legally allowed! Keep it up!

[@TheWaynecollins]

Yes! Bring back the flying tanks ! Loved the original. And yes I want to see a flying tank kit !

[@YukoSaru-oz4lb]

you make the most complex subjects super relatable!

[@briancollins8237]

Could you run a second radio and an FPV for the bomb site and bomb release and have a bombardier in charge of the drop? Seems like it would be pretty easy to set up and would take the guess work out of it. Still, that was an incredible drop of precision with LOS flying and such altitude! Josh has some serious piloting skills! Great episode! Been a fan since 2012! Thanks for all you do!

[@NoAgendaFPV]

Could use iNav on a F411-WTE FC to have the bomb site FPV camera adjust angle based on altitude and speed too. Wouldn't take much work in the Logic Commands, but probably several test flights.

[@joshuamcintyre9292]

yeah but fill the bombs with gunpowder

[@juleenprimo3150]

i was born in 2012 march 26

[@nob12346]

ok@@juleenprimo3150

[@FrandChai]

Bro is straight up building bombs in the basement lmao..

[@InRemoteControl]

Definitely more tank episodes and please please release the plans for it as you actually said you would in one of your episodes.

[@traveler7137]

Absolutely we had a blast watching this . Fantastic job again boys.

[@deadwolf2978]

I think adding small parachutes to the bombs will give you bigger coverage and accuracy on the drop. May be even can get a video shot of hits from the air..

[@Sickzero]

Awesome as always! For the next project I suggest Chuck Yeager's X1 test flight. Maybe with a small rocket drive, dropped from the wing of the B17?

[@brettnelson7048]

The amazement never stops with this channel. Ever!

[@cnlnews8967]

Amazing video, as always! I love the B-25 and the tanks, good job!

[@DesignedbyWill2084]

Would be interesting to have a 2nd person running bombs like the B17 turrets. A bomb site with elevation and ground speed would help dial it in.

[@stephencantbewrong8250]

A XL version of the bomber would be fantastic!

[@centauri9458]

G1 Transformers had a character named Blitzwing. He was a Decepticon triple changer and very popular. He changed from a jet to a tank and to a robot. That big flying tank made me think of Blitzwing. Very cool

[@schwabrichard9829]

Great video folks! Who could refuse a flying tank video!!!!

[@jameswebb2856]

You guys are having WAY too much fun!

[@indominusrex343]

You have to make that with the b17 Greetings from germany

[@segue2ant395]

You can drop multiple bombs in sequence using a single motor and a carousel. It might have been a squeeze to fit it into the B25 but I'd love to see a more complex release mechanism that allows for multiple bombing runs in future attempts :)

[@firecwby1999]

Loved this. Please keep up the fun!

[@rory4116]

It’s great, I have my own army of rc planes, so much fun, I have followed you guys since you did the review on the F4F wildcat, still never cease to amaze me

[@JohnBeard35]

Just an idea to take the bomber to the next level, the bombardier can wear fpv goggles and have a camera pointing down simulating bomb sights and have the bombardier launch the bombs. Just a thought

[@tjaberingeliasberg8508]

if you use the line tracking kits on the tanks you could set up a line outside having a moving convoy of tanks and then you could do bombing runs or hook the plane up with one of the laser systems and the tanks with receivers and when they get shot a thingymabob blows up (idk if that would work, its like the architects dream is an engineers nightmare kinda thing.... yknow)

[@ralphbronzin9721]

Loving all the frequent uploads, keep up the good work!

[@whidzee]

Dave is a superstar! Also love his shirt, need to get one of those

[@ThatFloridaMf]

This came out the same day two other vintage planes collided at a Dallas air show

[@chickennuggies5806]

Hey @FliteTest i have a question. With larger builds, do you use multiple receivers linked to 1 transmitter if you have too many functions to connect to 1 receiver? Im just asking because i plan to build a plane and the gear system is really complex because i want to have it realistic to the gear of the actual plane so it looks good. Love your content btw🤩

[@matthewadamo3047]

Your inspiring me to make my own model plane but I know that I have to start of small. Love y’all ❤️

[@The_Godzillafan15692]

One day I wanna be as good as y’all and make models like this, yall one of my favorite KZbinrs ever maybe one day I can be as good as y’all are at this stuff, keep up the good work love y’all

[@Believe086]

I like how these guys making replica and testung them so satisfying

[@traveler7137]

Messaging while I'm watching. Must say right away that the bomb explosion is very scale looking. And I always enjoy things when they're scale. That's just me anyways I'm going to continue to watch I'll leave my final message at the end you guys are awesome.

[@Mars-pq5qs]

COOL I like how when the bomb hits it makes a gunfire noise and explodes with smoke

[@figbloppa7183]

It would be great if you guy’s included a bomber view, since the bombers would have a sight with a crosshair on it that was fixed to show where the bombs would hit, that would definitely make it a lot easier to aim!

[@Fehrnseherglucken]

Fly those lil tanks guys!!! Awesome episode

[@newt2010]

Too much fun. Love this channel. Cheers guys

[@bramrc1246]

Idk of this is a good idea but,,, You guys should make a stits SA-2A Skybaby, that's the official smallest plane in the world,, en you guys should make a 1/1 scale version I mean it's not that big so it's easy to build and you have your first ever 1/1 rc plane,,,

[@chrisgreenawalt4438]

Bixler's are the best in the biz! Proud of y'all!!! 🐐

[@TFN_Araque]

Please bring the flying tank back

[@gourobkundu2173]

Absolutely freaking loved it

[@adamnewyork]

As a western New Yorker now living in the EU, I loved hearing Stefen saying "krick" instead of creek.

[@vicenteoricchio6165]

Excelente trabajo y muy divertido. Podrían realizar otro intento con las bombas sobre los tanques? Muchas gracias

[@geneside0]

Flying tanks bombing some planes, now that would be cool and completely different.. but also a plane able to launch a rescue boat would be awesome. If anyone can do it, its FliteTest!!

[@stephencantbewrong8250]

Fantastic!

[@amybionda282]

Yes we would love to have a speed build kit and even better have the plans!

[@edwardkie380]

From Panzer to Bixler tank with wings whooohooo too funny ! Looking forward the tank mayhem !!!

[@terrywells3955]

Guys this was sooooo Awesome

[@kingerproblox351]

Why is this channel so underrated?

[@enricksamuel3669]

That was freaking awesome

[@RECK_Adventures]

I love that. That was epic!

[@kiwinika]

Hi FliteTest! Would be awesome if you could build a Canadair CL-415 (those big yellow and red firefighter planes) you guys are so awesome thank you for all your content.

[@OneVisionAerialOfficial]

Flying tanks would be awesome, and the kit plans too! This is awesome lol absolutely love the bombing runs

[@camdenshea6023]

Yes

[@ThePrinceOfParaphernalia]

Outstanding!

[@danielhreno9582]

Loving it!

[@DreamFlyEcuador]

Ohh man we were missing the footage of that crash chase quad!

[@johncarold]

Ha Ha. I need to build a B-25, one of my favorite bombers of WW2, and definitely the bombs. Thanks for the video

[@daviddegroot3477]

Absolutely go with the XL version.

[@moltenlord6124]

Love this

[@linkachu6502]

Yes make and xl version of this.

[@shrexyshrek9858]

This is crazy! Love your vids guys!

[@davidjester5085]

Thank you!

[@kenmason-xn7pr]

Classic. this channel i have watched for a long time i saw the a10 vs tank vid i saw EVERYTHING ove this channel 5 stars

[@oldrabidus2230]

WWII German Fritz X guide bomb should be next. Put in a camera in the nose with glider capability and a 2nd human controller guides the bomb to the target. A Ju-88 host could be made or just keep the B-25 for time savings. Bonus points if you put an Estes “A” rocket motor in the back for added speed. I’d also recommend protecting the nose well so the camera inside can be reused.

[@andycap8469]

You must revisit this!!

[@bbull789]

That was awesome!! Yes, XL it!

[@PaperPilotGamer]

Flying tanks! Also, a flying tank *kit* would be awesome.

[@thefinalsurvivur6161]

Something I would love to see y'all attempt is bomb bay doors that can open and close, as well as some sort of bomb aiming camera

[@joeschmo7145]

Please do a rc naval battle with cannons I love this

[@finnwong8096]

I love your flying vids keep it up

[@TheHarberHangar]

DEFINITELY need a B-25 XL!!

[@i_dont_know_anymore223]

those bombs are sooo cool!

[@woodturner1954]

Now you need a down looking targeting camera set for altitude and angle with cross hairs for easier spotting drop points.

[@BassMatt1972]

you need to put them all on a bar/rail on hooks that release by servo, so you can drop them individually. Using a spring to push them individually to the end of the bar to be dropped from the bomb bay.. XL version?

[@MorningView]

awesome episode

[@earthsciteach]

Mike made the Imperial Japanese Navy proud with that kamikaze attack with the quad! What's left of that? LOL

[@gkfury6975]

Yes plz

[@robertmorey4104]

Use the A36 or Stuka to dive bomb the tanks. Also a bomb release to drop 2 at a time instead of all at once, give you more chances. Fun video.

[@texas66]

The FBI, CIA, and KGB just subscribed!!!!

[@alegk8394]

if you build a Lancaster you could do something similar to this but the bomb would be a ground pound bomb and the target could be the Tirpitz

[@DustinBlaise]

Would love to see a part two of the gliding bomb with those explosive poppers

[@Unitedantifurry_union]

Yall should get alot of people with alot of crafts vehichals like the that and reenact different wars like ww2

[@thenotsousefulengine]

finally my favorite bomber got some attention

[@toddabbott781]

Have you looked at the DJI T-40 agricultural drones. They can lift a person easy as they can carry well over 100 pounds. They are a bit pricy at $26K for the whole kit (drone, battery, charger, remote...). The sprayer system and tanks are easy to remove and it has a heavy duty open tube frame with the center open. Think of the things you could do with that.

[@melondr9437]

wonderful and beautiful

[@xxnvytechxx6417]

Make a remote controlled bomb. You can make a big bomber(like your B-17) and have a V1 type thing drop out the bottom from a high altitude. Or have it behind like a glider then release it

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

Back in my schooldays we set up production lines for Nitrogen Tri-iodide and gun cotton.

[@matthewmontgomery3804]

@flitetest could you also super size your b 25 to the same scale as youe massive b 17?

[@Tom-wl9sx]

Entertaining as always. 🙃

[@DustyFixes]

Imagine a flying tank drops bombs on an air field full of Bombers?

[@kensmith8832]

Back in the 70's we made what we called a Ninja smoke bomb. It was a hand thrown ball that would create a cloud of smoke when it hit the ground.

[@Thom101]

flying tanks with laser tag equipment installed 💥😊

[@stevenjohnson6962]

Yeah I would love to see the flying tanks return

[@rexc3123]

Hey I have been looking for the old Peter sripol ft mighty mini corsair on the store ,can't seem to find it,was it removed ,if so why?
