Vader: Tell me again how you crashed it. Commander: We ummmm tried to do a barrel roll in orbit....

[@ghostrider66620]

you have disapointed me for the last time commander....choke....

[@MLGDOGE-]

Build another Star Destroyer and have drones with airsoft guns shooting it down!

[@MLGDOGE-]

+LittleScientist2011 The Hoth base was destroyed long ago... So get out of here with your shitty ass Death Star.

[@thomasdillon6838]

+unionrdr A friend in the Air Force built a huge rc A-10 that fired AGM-65 Maverick missiles using esties A8-6-5 model rocket motors. Very realistic and parachute recovered and reusable. He brought the nose of the A-10 up And popped of four of them using electric igniters and a servo to control the igniter circuit.

[@thomasdillon6838]

Air soft Y-Wing maybe? You have a great idea!

[@taofledermaus]

That was just awesome! I gave it zero chances of flying!

[@skyhero789]

Hi😊

[@FoamandTape]

"I find your lack of faith disturbing" Hahaha and I built the thing not expecting it to fly (a few feet that is)

[@TheCowboyfromhell87]

+TAOFLEDERMAUS Your all over YT today!

[@ForzaDerpGuy]

+TAOFLEDERMAUS I love your channel bro. You always have the Hg.

[@taofledermaus]

Forza Derp Guy thanks!

[@StoneBlueAirlines]

The force is strong with this show!

[@abdumalikmustapha4689]

DO NOT try this at home (go to a friend's house) Nice touch :D

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

Ah,so THAT'S how the Star Destroyer crashed on Jakku! lol

[@DonoRu6]

+TheAdkFlyer10 hey now - no spoilers - LOL ;-)

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

+DonoRu6 haha no spoiler! Already seen in the trailers! ☺

[@cmw184]

Lol yea

[@salami99]

+TheAdkFlyer10 Wheres the Excuter?

[@boatymcboatface6154]

+TheAdkFlyer10 A hobby store battery pack was responsible for bringing down an expensive Star Destroyer at Jakku

[@dpie4859]

So far 14 people without any sense of humor. Thanks for a fantastic video!!! Merry Christmas to all of you at FliteTest. You guys are awesome.

[@FliteTest]

+DP gie rtz Merry Christmas to you!

[@GlenEly]

+DP gie rtz Make it 24 now.

[@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS]

+FliteTest Merry Christmas FT!

[@kamuy_1337]

+DP gie rtz 35 and counting. Merry early Christmas!

[@uglyjihad]

Now 108 what the heck

[@boatymcboatface6154]

When the Star Destroyer explodes, Josh's expression is like "Dang it Peter. How many times do I have to tell you not to blow up projects." That goes away after Josh realizes how awesome Peter's idea was.

[@xhappy425]

when

[@hiwayM9]

I think with Peter creating such large craft, perhaps a helium filled bladder might be incorporated to assist with buoyancy. That may incite even more bizarre feats of flying freakdom.

[@MsF4ucorsair]

I can hear it calling now, death star, Death Star, DEATH STAR DEATH STAR DEATH STAR! (and darth jar jar confirmed)

[@keejaykim3622]

+MsF4ucorsair YES!!!!! Death star! RC death star!

[@joejtunes]

A flying Death Star is needed!

[@VestedUTuber]

+MsF4ucorsair Jar Jar isn't a sith name. He needs a name that inspires fear. How about... Darth Plot Device!

[@MsF4ucorsair]

I believe he could be a darth controversy

[@keejaykim3622]

I really hope that flight test makes a giant deathstar. Maybe tie fighters, X wings a and y wings to!!! Yes we must!!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

That was absolutely fantastic, Flite Test!! WOW! You guys are always promoting this hobby is such a creative way. Thank you for all the entertainment over the years! Looking forward to Flite Test episodes of 2016! :)

[@OuelPacla]

Peter with all his craziness backed up with the entire Flite Test crew. Too much FUN!

[@Dontdoxme9268]

Josh: "hey, it kinda works, awesome!" Peter: "garbage. blow it up."

[@BMSWEB]

A simple Thumbs up just doesn't seem enough. Peter has just taken Epic to a whole new level!!

[@thondupandrugtsang]

By the way ,Im 56 and I enjoy watching people build something with their own hands and fly..

[@nannerpuss9430]

I love peter's casual use of explosives in many of his projects. He just has them laying around.

[@ethanford8351]

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!! THERE'S THE OLD FLITETEST I KNOW!!!!

[@SiloEntertainment]

You should've built and put an R2D2 up there to fix the falling off pieces, he he he :P

[@noobplays8245]

Silo Entertainment most people don't even know who you are 😂😂😂😂😂

[@aventadorfanboy3672]

Silo Entertainment hey airsoft

[@aytoshii]

Whats up silo

[@CallMeJack08]

really cool to see Austin getting more involved with the show

[@kadenn8811]

I love the part at the beginning where it said " WARNING DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, DO IT AT YOUR FRIENDS HOUSE!"

[@AltMarc]

"It will (always) fly, just give it enough (more) power!" (I believe it's a nasa quote)

[@MrDVader]

Peter adds so much fun to FliteTest, thanks for an amazingly entertaining year

[@scottfrank8805]

+Tyler Durden well said, sir... well said

[@southjerseysound7340]

+Tyler Durden I totally agree but it isn't his on camera presence ;)

[@PS3NitroLambo]

This channel started out being something I looked to for reviews and builds before I got into flying..now I find myself checking for all the new videos to come out lol. Keep up the good work guys!

[@SonOfRojBlake]

Best thing about this video? It's nine minutes long, but you get the answer to the question in the first thirty seconds. Excellent work.

[@eggsbenedict231]

Build more of these cool Star Wars ships you must!

[@vovacat1797]

Hah, that "hyperspace" looked more like a death star explosion

[@JamesSiek]

2:15 That drone shot was amazing..!!!!

[@nike12000haha]

This is the best thing you have ever done!! DO MORE

[@kyrkbymannen]

One battery fell out, one motor was dead and you could see the disconnected xt60 before it hit the ground.

[@erinfogerty3843]

So that's what it looks like when a B-Wing gets a hold of a Star Destroyer! Great vid guys, looks like ya'all had a lot of fun.

[@dutchairwaterrockets7366]

wow, I didnt think this huge Star Wars Destroyer would fly but it does!amazing work guys!

[@Erowens98]

Now we need a flying car

[@brandonm.4187]

This is where all those weird UFO videos come from

[@timminh468]

Brandon M. , yep there were RC toys in ancient times as well...

[@cesarnogueira5105]

YOU GUYS ARE BY FAR THE BEST RC CONTENT PRODUCER EVER !!!!! PURE FUN , PURE PLEASURE, LOTS OF LAUGHS : THIS IS THE REAL RC PLANE SPIRIT !

[@AtheHD1]

i just wanna say that while I was sad to see a promise that was made on FB and the podcast not met I understand why and I appreciate Ya'll being the role models that you need to be in this hobby.... THANKS GUYS

[@HammaneggsAirborne]

You need to improve the fatal flaws on this, then add side hangar doors for planes to come out of. Maybe one of the TIE variants with the angled panels would have a chance of flying, such as a TIE advanced.

[@Bicketybam68]

I find your lack of stabilization disturbing.... it's as if millions of imperial forces are up-chucking into their helmets at the same time. I was humming the Imperial march tune all the way through that... fantastic episode.

[@suspicious35]

Finally an explanation for why the star destroyers are shaped the way the way the are is, it's a lifting body

[@BeachBow]

Awesome guys! I don't know what was better, the actual flight, or Josh in the Darth Vader hat!! LOL!!

[@Sean_Coyne]

Hilarious guys. May the Farce be with you. Prolly the best one yet. Oh and has Josh gone over to the dark side with his Darth V helmet? Cos if he has, he sucks at it. Josh is just too nice to wear that hat, lol.

[@scottfrank8805]

+Sean Coyne Kinda..maybe a Spaceballs Look? whatcha think......

[@watadeeel]

I haven't laughed so hard in... forever. That was funny!

[@marchills4131]

You guys never cease to both inspire and entertain. Fantastic video.

[@scottfrank8805]

Peter, YOU have continued the tradition, of our favorite Swede... Dave.. Blowing things up to surprise Josh!! Love it. this is just plane (get it, plane) FUN. You guys DO what we WISH we could... "Going where no man has gone before", OH Wait... WHAT??/ thats Star Trek" .... scheesh. Appreciate you guys

[@vinnybob412]

Drone camera work is excellent. Alex if that was you nice shooting

[@FliteTest]

+Vincent Policicchio Thanks! That was Alex on the mini quad and Austin on the Phantom3!

[@njsullyalex2744]

+FliteTest You got a Phantom 3? Please review it! I've been flying a Phantom 1 for over a year, and I'm a big fan. Also, how are you going to register all of you planes and drones with the FAA?

[@Darthbat00]

Yes I agree too..Camera work and the drone are what i want :))

[@magicstix0r]

That wasn't a barrel roll. That was an aileron roll. Fail.

[@stickfigureman722]

true... but if it was in space then it would not have been an aileron roll because you cant use ailerons in space XD

[@ulaB]

+magicstix0r Are the control surfaces in that setup called ailerons too? Those are more of a mix between elevator, ailerons and rudder. So he basically used ailerons and rudder which would make this a barrel roll?

[@L.J.Kommer]

+magicstix0r You're not a barrel roll.

[@magicstix0r]

***** No. No I'm not. Did mommy help you figure that out?

[@L.J.Kommer]

Nope. I figured it out all by my big boy undies self. Speaking of rolls and mothers, your momma's so big, she's got more rolls than Panera Bread.

[@evelasq1]

My actual words were before I started watching this videos "Ah shit, you got to be kidding me." Great project, man!

[@Strigon01]

The fact that those Star Destroyers actually flew, is amazing. Keep up the crazy good work! :D

[@oswynfaux]

Guessing the batteries shifted when you did the roll.

[@abdumalikmustapha4689]

True, you could see the camera shake at that moment

[@Itsmelliot]

Darth Bixler

[@Skybraker]

At this point I don't think you have to ask, of course we want more craziness lol great job Peter.

[@nzoomed]

This is gold, im amazed how you were able to get something up in the air that was not even aerodynamicly designed! top marks! AAA+++

[@HDscreenerX]

Nice video guys. personally for me nothing can beat the idea and David's attempts of going up with fpv to space and gliding all the way down. Would like to see part 2 on that one.

[@tylermetternick3438]

DO MORE BIG PLANES, These are the best episodes

[@pfdsmyth]

Epic quote: "I'll push you out of the way if you're gonna die!"

[@Moraren]

A plane that can fly in both directions would be awesome!

[@Paulydude2000]

you would think David was there! looked awesome with the aerial footage, tnx guys loved it

[@jan150]

That explosion was great!

[@locouk]

Great job Peter, you and the lads are awesome! Thanks for another great show.

[@DonoRu6]

Merry Christmas guys - can't wait for FliteFest 2016!!

[@Humboldt710]

Wow I didn't think the big one would fly. That was impressive.

[@TheGrateWall]

I loved this episode!!! It was a little more like their classic episodes! It was just great! And you guys should do more Star Wars stuff! I'm a fanatic about that! Lastly, can't wait to destroy that thing at flite fest, if I can make it off course! You guys never disappoint, so thank you for that!

[@ToadGamingSubscribe]

I Love flitetest i hope they never leave youtube... they deserve more views!

[@TSGEnt]

That was awesome. The flybys when bomb goes off was great. Thanks again guys.

[@HCarota]

Thank you for this great episode! Flies great!

[@RichardT2112]

The Mon Calmari cruiser managed to hit a decisive blow .... Loved it!

[@rrengineer]

I am a 64 year old RC modeler that has been building nitro planes since the late 60s. I have only stuck my toe in the water with electrics. You guys are doing some awesome stuff. It's highly entertaining and I hope to see you guys in Ontario at the Expo. I think what you are doing is doing more to bring more people into the hobby than anything I have seen. Keep up the good work.

[@ulaB]

+Mike MacLean So did you meet them? :)

[@rrengineer]

+Balu I went, but I did not see them. Too bad. These guys are really bringing fun back into this hobby that anyone can get into.

[@ulaB]

+Mike MacLean Not sure what days they were there, but they had a big room for themselves and a blimp flying around. :) They did exactly what you like about them - bring people into the hobby... They built gliders with kids and their families and had them launched inside the room from the blimp... I'm in Germany, so I was only able to watch live footage from the event, but even that was a lot of fun to see :)

[@rrengineer]

+Balu I saw the room you are talking about. It was across from the main exhibition hall. There were a lot of foamies and a GIANT blimp they would let people fly. I did not recognize any of them from their videos. I had spent a lot of time at the show before I saw the blimp and really was on the way home when I thought I would pop my head in. They were doing just like I said in my original comment. They were showing people what fun this hobby can be. Maybe I will get to meet them and talk to them about what good they are doing for the hobby next year. I hope they will be there.

[@KimJongSkill492]

the shot at 2:10 was so cool good flying!

[@DonDegidio]

That was amazing Peter!!! Happy Holidays to the entire Flite Test gang.

[@muhammedshah4582]

1:57 will always be the funniest thing I've seen on Flight test

[@rawh321]

This is without a doubt the GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!

[@wfrederick2501]

That was hilarious. Loved it when you blew up the smaller one. Thanks for the laughs guys. Always entertaining to see what y'all are up to.

[@tubergenmotorsports4193]

Awesome! Great job on drone shots expecially the "ludicrous speed" shot!

[@emg3522]

This video is gonna hit millions of views

[@uasvehicles8753]

that was hilarious. seems more like a controlled free fall than flying. anyways it is worth watching any experiment. good stuff yall

[@SSMGsweden]

Maverick: "Goose - shit, I'm in his jet wash. Flat spin, eject, eject, eject."

[@temko6710]

4:42 A normal Imperial class Star Destroyer just turned into a Super Star Destroyer.

[@rogermiller6049]

That was awesome!! Merry Christmas Flite Test!!

[@jamesanthony8438]

Can't call those fails because they were so freakin' awesome :)

[@njsullyalex2744]

Now that is awesome! I never though of the Star Destroyer as being anywhere near aerodynamic, but you guys continue to prove us wrong! I really enjoyed the new movie, and I'm glad you guys are into it too! I'd love to see you fly an Air Hogs X-Wing in formation with that (I have one and mine actually flies good!). Merry Christmas Flite Test Team! Hopefully Santa brings you a sack full of RC airplanes!

[@mihdnite5473]

You finally made it yes! I'm a huge Star Wars fan!

[@arlo12345678910]

I swear I've never laughed as hard at an airplane video as this!!! Fricken hilarious. Nice job guys!

[@badandy122376]

You guys are nutz. Kept me in stitches the whole episode. Peter, still waiting on that tie bomber scratch build. Happy Holidays to everyone at FT. Looking forward to an awesome 2016🤘🏾

[@thondupandrugtsang]

I couldn't believe it.It flew! That was exhilarating. Patiently waiting for your next project.

[@scottfrank8805]

+Thondup Andrugtsang patiently whos patient....? Bottle rocket launchers firing offa xwings... oh, wait, ok, I'll settle down now.... I hate being the adult. ( I am really 5 1/2 years old, and my wife thinks THATS a PuSH)

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

+Scott Frank That would be hard to aim, but amazingly hilarious if it worked. XD Although, kinda tricky to keep that massive S.Destroyer in the air long enough for them to try it, don't you think?

[@scottfrank8805]

+5peciesunkn0wn Great point.... Fair enough, Multiple projectiles it is! >salute

[@simonowen5089]

Another great vid from flite test thanks guys..

[@modestcody123]

I smiled the whole time. Reminds me of when I was home for summer/Christmas breaks back in the college days!

[@jeanfelixlaflamme]

That footage of the explosion is amazing! :DDD

[@52mrdan]

Great job guys ,love the crazy flying stuff Peter.Keep up the good work.

[@RadicalRC]

We must band together to defeat what the FAA is trying to do to all of us. If we don't stand up now, none of us will be able to do things like this. Great video guys. You can build your dreams.

[@southpaw7890]

+RadicalRC I know this video is all in good fun and in a somewhat open controlled environment, but its videos just like this of some "Kid" for lack of a better term, a term that the government will use strapping a "explosive" which is what fireworks are on to a device that can be controlled with a high amount of accuracy. Just fly the damn things the way they were meant and just use some damn common sense, now we got all these morons that have no clue on how to fly but have more money than brains buying drones/quadcopters and flying them into active airspace, and even crashing one of the front lawn of the god damn white house. Cmon guys, the FAA already has enough to deal, lets not broadcast more for them to see.

[@RadicalRC]

The crash on the front lawn of the White House was a government employee. As was the crash at the US Open tennis match into empty seating area. It's a violation of human decency to punish person "A" for what person "B" did. A kind of moral depravity only an evil and sick person or group would claim a right to do. There has never been a time when a depraved person could not do wrong to other human beings. Neither you or I deserve to be punished or have our peaceful activities restrained because of what some 3rd party did or could do. What we are talking about is a group of people who are claiming a right to profit on you and me, to prey upon you and me, to limit the future possibilities of you and me because of what some idiot did that neither you or I know. It's a predatory scheme. I realize we may not be able to stop the tyranny imposed on our peaceful daily activities, yet I don't have to accept or make excuses for it. The FAA is a criminal gang. I know neither of us would ever dream of interfering with a full scale aircraft or flying over people. We do not deserve to be punished or charged for the acts of a tiny microscopic minority. I am for Liberty. I oppose all objections to your and my Liberty to proceed through live peacefully. All the FAA is doing is like any other blood sucking vampire, they are seeking to increase their capacity to steal from you the unearned. Just because an enforcement agency claims or decree's something does not make it moral or ethical. I do not make excuses for predators. No person can earn a right to impose restrictions on the peaceful activities of others. No person can earn a right to impose fees on other persons merely for their capacity to use and enjoy technology. I am for Liberty. As to the firework, I admit discomfort. But the reason is that very ethically weak individuals will accept predators using the activities of one person to punish a million others. Sure, there have been flame throwers, pistols, fireworks and probably other things mounted to a model. This is done as click bait. It's advertising and entertainment. It's not a routine part of the hobby in any way. It's what an entertainer did. Am I to be restricted, fined, license fee'd because of what actors do? Should I fear every Hollywood movie which has even more reach than Flite Test? Is it ethical to punish thousands of peaceful people because of what an entertainer or movie producer dreams up? I am disgusted at the notion that any human would accept such actions as moral. To do so is to support the criminal and ignore the rights and pain of the peaceful victim. I am for Liberty. You will pay them or else. I write these these remarks not as a personal rebuttal but more as a general essay. I'm sick of being screwed, of bending over and taking the abuse over and over. I'm sick of it. It's time we stand up to predators and call what they do by it's proper name. Predation. I love my country, but what the FAA does and is planning to do to modeling they do not do in my name. NOT IN MY NAME.

[@MasterMayhem78]

You guys are so freakin cool. This totally made my morning. Merry Christmas guys!

[@daleyoung87]

This was AWESOME!!! Totally enjoyed!!!

[@BladeScraper]

I wanna see it fly again! That was sick!

[@222GOO]

This had a smile on my face from start to finish!

[@thehozonachannel1288]

You guys are freaking CRAZY!!! Lovin' it!!

[@WireZombie253]

Probably the best drone video I have ever seen!

[@homebuiltindoorplane]

You should leave the crashed star destroyer out there in the field and see if Ray (Daisy Ridley) comes to scavenge parts! Greatest Most fun thing I have ever seen thanks guys!

[@bruceallen9892]

Just recently found you guys, and noticed y'all are not so far from me! Love the channel guys! You keep blowing my mind. Merry Christmas!

[@Sagetower7]

Amazing, I am so surprised. It looks like the body generated enough lift for a short flight. I am very impressed.

[@lhb4031]

Awsome guys, i love the thinking out of the box on these creations. make one that looks like a person with a cape flying

[@nathandahler4854]

This is the stuff we love to watch!

[@MonkeypodFPV]

Josh, you look at home in that helmet!! Also, awesome awesome awesome job, Peter! That's hero work there!!
