Hey, whenever theres a time, can you make like a few battleships that can go to war? edit: i dont really mean like those carboard ones, i mean like the ones that can be kinda 3d printed, and float as well as throw projectiles. (maybe explosives) its going to be very interesting to build, trust me.

[@kingkong41594]

Don’t ever let this channel die please. My inner child wanting to build n fly rc planes of all kinds is living vicariously through all the stuff you guys do 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@sharp68chevyguy]

I'm 36 and my one bedroom apartment is littered with scrap foam and FT foam builds, the guys I fly with are 50+ also flying FT models. You are never too old to build and fly.

[@GSG-lc5zm]

I personally think the third guy did the best.. total control the whole time... Looked like art.

[@air-headedaviator1805]

The Yak is CRACKED. Mike did excellent with the design, it looks both so smooth and super snappy, and always really sharp and precise.

[@2vcrew782]

I was out at the early FF16 and FF17 with my oldest son in Ohio and we had a blast. Life has been busy but glad to see the channel has grown so much. My oldest is turning 19 this summer. We are going to get up in the air again.

[@boomfiziks]

Awesome video! Can you show a tutorial of some of the basic 3D moves? Show the stick movements and discuss how they work.

[@Trevor2497]

I second this! I would love a 3D tutorial series!

[@captnjim.]

If you search "rcaerobatics masterlist" it will bring you to a list of every maneuver, with descriptions, tutorial videos, and articles for each one.

The plane seems awesome, nice to see this competition kind of video. The vape sponsorship is a bit unusual tho lol

[@toolbaggers]

Not a vape.

Yeah weird sponsorship even tho it isn’t a vape, it’s really unrelated….

[@morkshanmedia3998]

[@torquedude]

Nice flying guys, I’ve been flying for over 20years and I’m still learning but that’s the fun! What about slope soaring guys, I built a versa wing years ago and it sloped brilliantly. Unfortunately I have nothing on my channel related to sloping the versa but I do have plenty of other models in action. Would be cool if you made a foam slope soarer for all us hill lovers! Keep up the great work guys and the hobby thriving 👍👍

[@gryfandjane]

Michael… brilliant design! I love it! Jason… brother, you have magic thumbs. Simple as that. 😊

[@mountainsmither51]

I love the idea of RC Airplanes, but the Idea of building your own is absolutely AWESOME to me. You did a great job!

[@FliteTest]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Supermoto4225]

I love watching your guys videos. I watched your video of dropping the jeep from the cargo plane and it got me thinking. You guys should build a big plane with a real wide and long fuselage. Say 4 foot wide by 5 foot long or bigger And make a little race track in the fuselage. Then you can race little fpv cars in the fuselage while the plane is in the air. It’s a wild idea but I think it can be done.

[@planckstudios]

That slow mo capture of the acrobatics turned out gorgeous! Are you ready for the best idea ever? Flight Milk! Soar high as a crow! What up?

[@crashtestrc7213]

That plane looks like the perfect platform for a head tracking fpv unit. Great design, and great flying.

[@cloudkap]

Maaaan... this plane came out looking SO good, and the flying made it look even better. Looks like i might have a new spring build :D

[@FliteTest]

It is defiantly Worth it!

[@robertlafnear7034]

Just bought my FIRST COX .049 Engine LAST WEEK for a display..........* not so true, I bought many when I was 12 years old and crashed many of those plastic ready to fly control line planes also store bought NEW ones ).... I remember those days... kinda. LOVE this new R/C era.... and these flyers are just so good ! KINDA

[@ArTchN_Ei8ht_Industries]

Thank you for another great content. Although, I don't agree with the sponsorship advertisement you guys undertook. I don't think it's a good match with your brand. Especially, when a huge percentage of your audience are young impressionable people. I understand it's an alternative tool to quit a bad habit; but there are better approaches to deter the habit, like not starting the habit at all. A product the mimics the physical behavior of a bad habit just entices people that don't partake in the habit to try it to experience what people who do it feel without the harmful effects of nicotine; but the physical repetitive behavior of the habit can still lead to an addiction of using the product. I hope you'll reconsider not promoting this product any longer in your content. Stay safe and blessed @FliteTest fam. Yosh...

[@benjaminworthen7461]

I'm really torn on this - I completely understand that FT needs the resources that advertisers provide to keep their content going, BUT to his/her/their point, I'm imagning households where some kids are watching this without parents in tow, and in that situation it could also be enticing for that audience. However small, keeping one kid away from a smoking habit if not many, is a huge win! Maybe their's an approach FT can take where their guests and personalities aren't using the device themselves and showing it in what admittedly looks like a pretty "cool" looking way" - Less endorsement, more visuals of just the product... the same way the adult toy industry has to do it.

[@venom-vr1]

love the plane by the way

[@microbuilder]

Great flying, great design!

[@b.w.oostdam8875]

Very good design! Good flying!

[@FliteTest]

Thanks a lot!

[@Krash_fpv]

It needs more mass...maybe little tail weight so it can hold knife edge spins and have that weight to toss around....it's a fine line but maybe bugger battery with little more powerful 6s system and 17 in prop with a few strategically placed ounce weights so it can have the weight for momentum crucial manuevers

[@justinwright82]

Been waiting for this!

[@captnjim.]

I might have to make this one! My Tiny Trainer got pretty aerobatic with a smaller, no dihedral wing, larger ailerons, and beefier motor, but nowhere near this!

[@lancewilliams5726]

I can't believe I found more geeks like me, 😎 I love it❤

[@ilan8465]

Nice plane. I wish one day it will be available to ship overseas.

[@AerospaceAV-8]

I have always wanted more cheap and affordable 3D foam planes so I can push myself untill I put the plane in the groud and then fix it with some hot glue and packing tape in seconds!

[@LCAviator26]

Lucas here. Love the look of this bird! You guys got to let me fly one come Memorial Day weekend! Also, Josh with the Retro Rocket and Mike with the Yak 55. That’s two Master Series type aircraft. Hope you guys can keep bringing more now that Mr. Overstreet appears to have lost interest.

[@billyshaw22]

We will have some there for people to fly, find me, Mike, or Jason and you will be able to fly one!

[@psyklopsskyes4187]

Awesome build, what a coincidence in trying to build a yak for learning to fly 3d. Built a couple of tiny trainers to learn to fly with and got addicted 😮. I would love to see these plans released🤞🤞 as shipping to my country is more than buying the plane 😢 ps please no more vape adverts, I don't want kids seeing vape advertised by our role models

[@warrenmoy4251]

Love you guys. Just wish we could get your stuff in uk. 😢

[@FliteTest]

Working on that. :)

hey guys! ive been a looong time fan and was im looking to do a certain project, anyway im not sure you still have them but i saw your old video about the E-flight umx Cessna 182, is there any chance i can get one of those if you have it? it doesnt have to work just the body has to be in ok condition. Thank you. ONE last thing when will flite fest 2024 ocurr?

Now mate two of them together and make the yak 110! 😅

I have a challenge idea.... large scale free flight contest. Build free flight large foam planes that are rubber band powered and judge on appearance, duration of flight, and altitudes.

[@Toaster808]

Love you guys, but don't do the vape sponsorship thing again. I get it, money is money, but in a video that a lot of kids will watch, this wasn't the greatest choice of sponsorship. People will say "it's not a vape", but it's still "smoking" something. If a kid can't get their hands on one of these Fume things, they might try the next available thing, which might be their parents' actual vape or a cigarette. Again, I've loved your channel for years now, but this wasn't a good choice.

[@ericsorg6335]

Not a vape. It’s a way out

[@duskhunter3803]

Pious twonk. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Choice.

[@thatairplaneguy]

Agreed. Very cringe especially from these guys.

I really wanna see you guys fly a simple plane like a glider or some sort of slow flyer, with way too much motor/prop. Like something that’s not supposed to fly fast. Basically I wanna see if a plane will fly apart from high speed. I think it would be a good team challenge 😂

Oh man, you wouldn't believe how good it feels to see an aviation club where the typical 80+ sad sacks don't try to get the younger generations to go away or even quit. This hobby (for me at least^^) really, really needs young talent or it will go the way of the Penny Farthing.. 😪

Please reconsider how this video's sponsor affects your channel's younger viewers who may not fully understand what Fume is/isn't, but who watch an influencer use what looks like a Vaping rig to consume "delicious air".

[@jothamstoltzfus-oh2kk]

To be honest I wasn't one bit impressed with Jason's flight. All he did was jam the sticks in the corners and hoped for the best. Crazy doesn't mean skill

[@justanordindaryguy]

39 seconds

[@thatairplaneguy]

I’m glad you’re trying to get into 3D designs. I don’t want to say anything about it until I’ve flown it but from the looks of the video it looks like it flies like crap. It looks like it flies like a poorly designed and heavy fun fly model from the 90’s. You DO need no less than 45* of control throw and maybe that’s why it looks like the pilot is struggling to make the plane do what they want. Honestly it’s hard to tell whether it’s the plane or the pilot that’s struggling. Keep at it. You’ll get there. Foam board has been the go-to for learning 3D since 3D’s conception yet stating that your goal was to make something that rivals EF’s line of small 3D planes it looks to fail at that. It looks more like an old school precision aerobatics ARFs or first gen Flex Innovations extras all of which flew ungainly and it took more work to do maneuvers well than it take to actually do the maneuver in a decently designed 3D plane.
