Your definition of a 'rough day' is a little different than mine, where a rough day typically means I'm hoping the electronics are salvageable. Glad you are finally starting to embrace the ironing method, it really improves the look and the durability. Can'wait for the plans!

[@rc-fannl7364]

Yeah, I just saw two great landings, and the one with the missing prop was even better than the one with both motors available. ;-)

[@pippyquark]

With me a rough flight is a VERY hard lading or dive into terra firma

[@payjep]

Hey Flitetest, you can pretty much make everything fly, so can you guys make a B17 or B24 with turrets that shoots the lazer tag guns against a BF 109 or ME 262 or FW 190? Thanks!

[@internalerror00]

@The history guy They just did a dog fighting video using lasers, but go ahead and try belittling people when you're the ignorant one. It's "they're" by the way. Idiot.

[@atipton2660]

Actually doing a laser tag system for a dogfight or one of the videos where they to a tank vs plane would be very cool to see The only downside is you can’t actually see the lasers flying and hitting stuff, but still would be cool to see a lot of

[@nateharder2286]

PAINTBALLS

[@dentedsub]

b17, b29, 24, 25 maybe b52 or even lacaster or anything with turrets. I 100% support this idea.

[@Jonkemm]

How about making a flite test branded ammo belt for glue gun sticks for easy access storage for the huge amount of glue used for each build?

[@TrashMutt]

Love the DC-3/C47's My father worked at Douglas Aircraft in 1941 doing the upholstery on them. He served in the Pacific on a Escort Carrier. I found an image of her returning damaged Aircraft back to San Diego with at least one C47 lashed to her flight deck. He got to count his 3 years of service as seniority when he returned to his job. Douglas was a great employer.

[@biffybighorn2920]

Do you guys think you can make a helicopter like the UH-60 black hawk for my dad?

[@sndman777]

Hey guys! I thought it would be interesting if you made a German World War 2 BV141 reconnaissance plane

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

:o

[@CaptainJohn]

That would be cool

[@mr.megalodonmegalodon758]

Or the most massive planes they can build, either the bv238 flying boat or the b36 peacemaker

[@sndman777]

Mr Megalodin I think that is a great idea but if you look up a picture of a BV141 you’d see the unsymmetrical design and that is where I’m going

[@ricardobeltranmonribot3182]

Or the FW-189, it's a little more conservative design, but it's cockpit was more unique than others recon aircraft, but the BV-141 is really so asymmetrical

[@pippyquark]

@FliteTest 2:45 i suggest adding a rudder that can be turned on or off midair as well as differential incase u lose a motor or prop **foreshadowing**

[@edotyzz3497]

Want an idea? You should make a giant plane, it has the make it to the marked location which may be your location! There will be 2 or 1 planes trying to chase it off before the giant plane deploy the bombs. You can use a B-17, Stuka, B-36, B-52, XB-30 any bomber. But the location has to be far, the planes can’t just make it in 30 seconds Lol. Make it far enough that 6 or 5 minutes. If the bomb hits the area you win! Also, the bomber plane has a large ribbon, like the classic videos. Good luck if your reading this!

[@brandonminer749]

My grandfather used to fly those; thats beautiful! He would have loved this! Needs aluminum tape skin 😆

[@Obnubilation]

Epic been waiting for one of these! You should make the AC-47 or AC-130!

[@paddington1670]

AC130 with airsoft mechboxes stickout out the fuselage.

[@TimMcClure]

They did a monster c130 a few years back, good episode

Huge fan of the C-47. Always happy to see a scaled replica of it being built.

[@quilt_szn6412]

I just brought your A10 warthhog kit and it's awesome

[@larshowen3319]

If I’m ever in a plane that goes down in a Saharan sandstorm, I hope Josh is on board!

[@albergan3174]

Tail wheel lock is usually unlocked for taxi , then locked for T.O. It limits travel so your takeoff is less squirrely. Great job.

[@DaUnderdogss]

You know you guys got me into flying planes

[@doctor_black_1348]

Decked was a really good idea for a sponsor considering your audience. Nice product!

[@Dexterbostic]

super cool!!!! I've done slot car and Rc baja trucks for years. i have just got into this hobby and I've started with a eflite Brave Night Flyer. lot to learn I've been watching you guys videos all weekend over the 4th lol. i have a small 3d printing company and i found that ppl are building planes with 3d printers. crazy!!! i am teaching my self to fly with help with your guys lol. i have wrecked my Brave but with you glue stick video and a bunch more am rebuilding and looks like all be back at the air fields this week :) keep it up guys!!!!

[@Easy-Eight]

Love to supersize a C-47, BF-109, P-47 to 1/12th scale (or 1/6th) and use it to buzz WWII reenactments. The Army used MiG-27 drones and they did a fair job of putting realism into NTC.

[@navye5YT]

11:13 I Wonder how many plane parts are currently in they're yard LOL good video 👍

[@TestECull]

I am definitely building one of these. And nitro converting it. And putting landing gear on it.

[@fuzzcopter467]

idk about the Nitro part.... It seems like it would be pretty difficult as nitro motors vibrate like hell and you would need to find a way to fuel proof the wings+fuselage. Just seems like a lot of work for not much payoff

[@ILLEagle_1]

@@fuzzcopter467 packing tape for fuel proofing and they don’t vibrate that bad, sure some reinforcements should be added but it would be sick. I’m thinking about doing a nitro foamy soon too

[@redhawk8476]

Maybe you can make a mechanism to drop little paratroopers out of the C-47.

[@ashleyplamondon9718]

Just throwing this out there. I grew up in Northern AB Canada and in the summer we would always have forest fires and water bombers going all the time during dry season. I would love if you guys built a water bomber with a spotter plane would be super cool.

[@peterxyz3541]

DC3 is one of the bestest design 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Theren314]

I think that a Horton 229 would be very interesting to build. also, have you guys ever used proper jets or turbo fans?

[@ld3640]

Every time you guys do one of these supersize builds I keep asking myself when are you going to do a B-36 😁 come on you know you want to 😄

Love it !! Can you figure out how to drop a load of paratroops, literally scale soldiers with parachutes ?

[@SpartanChief17C]

Please make a Monster Series F4 Phantom RC sometime soon!

[@iampig0125]

You guys should make videos that you make planes and make parts of them blow up just to see how it happens

[@brvgmrs]

Appreciate for your work, like the way of making, keep it up, its no easy work BAVO!

[@shane142]

Wonder if your going to do a large scale P-16 black widow but with a twist. Seeing if you can get the control services working in the same way as what the real one did. With the air flow spoilers system and not the ailerons

[@HawxWon]

Can't believe it's been over 10 years since your first video was released. It's just like yesterday when I first watch your channel. Really wish time could go slower. Don't know why I am becoming so emotional, maybe I'm just getting old :(

[@Jonpine24]

Dave should get first flight. He built it!

[@doughoffer1545]

When can we expect a C-47 speed build kit?

[@MasterofDesaster240]

It's a C-47, you really ain't need that Propellers to land that thing :D Just an Iconic Airframe

[@spikey316]

You should make a U-2, and have a go pro in the fuselage so you can record.

[@Sapper21b10]

Off the wall though. How would a pair of simple skids just over the prop radius effect things? Maybe it could keep you from beating the snot out of your props at landing. Just a random thought on a lazy Saturday. Keep up the good work!

[@maxbennedbk7085]

The way engine 1 broke reminded me a lot of of the moovie where Bud Spencer and Trence Hill come cruising into the airport in a matt pink C-47 🤣😁 you should paint it pink and paint burnout stains around the engine cowling of engine 1

Thoughts on battles without IR. Tennis ball tanks, golf ball battleships, pop it’s filled bombs or glitter bombs.

[@MrGermany18]

Once winter comes around can you guys try to ice over a plane in flight? Would be really cool.

[@AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

Here's a challenging request for you guys. Please make a couple of WWII experimental planes (which actually flew), and get them to dogfight. The planes I have in mind are the US Curtis Wright XP-55 Ascender versus the Japanese J7W Kyushu Shinden. My dad (US Army) fought against my uncle (IJA) at the same battle (Lingayen Gulf) in the Philippines. This would be kind of a tribute to them. They became the best of friends after the war. These planes are very similar in concept though also very different. Would love to see how they would perform against each other in a dogfight. Thanks!

[@leoacevedo1774]

I had a video idea what if you had a fight escorting a bomber and an enemy trying to shoot it down. The bomber is trying to hit some target

[@janwendt348]

Boys, i love these pink props! Perhaps a pink C47 would look great too 🙂

Man guys that baby is big and beautiful. Wish I could bring the GKids to FliteFest . Pappy

[@PaperPilotGamer]

Could you guys do more stuff with the Powerup unit? 2D/laminate planes to go with that would be cool, but 3D models would be GLORIOUS.

[@stevec7596]

I was considering buying one of those motors but I noticed there's no real prop driver on it. The smooth face looked like a problem to me. Now I see it definitely is an issue.

[@tymoteuszkazubski2755]

AFAIK multiple slicers can do that. It often is called Vase mode.

I have often wondered why you don't do rudders and the differential thrust. I think this video shows where that cold be useful. If it wasn't C47 it probably would have rolled over into the ground. Love your videos, just think you should not rely on differential thrust alone, I bet it saves a plane one day.
