Josh, I couldn't help but think as you were talking that you are the Bob Ross of the RC world!!! If it's not obvious, that was intended as a compliment.

[@joshuamelvin]

Means so much. Thanks brother. :)

Those are the most quality videos IMHO. I remember FT from the early days and their builds. It was epic. I am glad Josh still has it :)

[@ConnorEHowe]

Hi just wondering if there are going to be plans for scratch building it?

[@travis-geis]

Plans are for sale here: ftca.flitetest.com/product/ft-flerken-914mm/

[@uff8748]

Free plans

[@dronepilot260rc]

The only thing I changed was when it comes to the elevons, I cut them completely off and then used blenderm to create a less resistance hing and also used Plastic control horns with an adjustable clevis that uses a screw to secure the connecting rod. I also tossed the connection rod and used a larger diameter rod. I laminated the elevons once removed and also laminated the wings and nose as well as the rear hatch. Super rigid and ready for flight ✈ 😁

[@kdobson83]

These build videos are very stress relieving. I love the old school FT music in the back ground too. Can’t wait to get this Flerken finished, painted, and in the air.

[@erad05]

Hey I just got my speed build kit yesterday… thanks to flite test for fast delivery to Switzerland.

[@MidnightCamomile]

The background soundtrack is what keeps me sane 😂

[@frandalzotto7244]

If your initiative is to be able to reach more enthusiasts for this beautiful hobby, they should do so thinking about the most possibilities. One of these would be to make it more accessible since in some cases, I include myself, we do not have the monetary capacity to import your beautiful kits. One possibility is to be able to put a way to generate income through points when watching ads, such as the Brave browser, to be able to unlock the plans. In this way you ensure that your designs are not stolen. Thank you in advance for your great contribution, it hurts that your vision is a bit lost.

[@beefybeef1326]

My favourite FT plane so far!. Awesome!

[@neilcaywood3803]

The flerken is genus thank you so much!

[@NoAgendaFPV]

I know that FT are moving away from free plans, but it would be awesome to have the option to buy the plans in PDF from the store. I have boxes of DTFB but would love to make a few of this plane for bashing or FPV Combat.

[@samuelmichalkapustik1261]

So there will be no more free plans from now on ?

[@griffin3456]

@@samuelmichalkapustik1261 no

[@rclatebloomer7880]

Or maybe sell the plans, that could also work.

[@Tallguysrc]

Just buy one and trace the parts so you can cut as many as you want!

[@rclatebloomer7880]

@@Tallguysrc I definitely will, beautiful plane!

[@JamesRader]

Any thoughts on adding a tail boom kit with functional flaps for this awesome craft?

[@nickthompson9697]

Why not a canard modification with increased wingspan and payload capacity?

[@nestwolfsteiner2292]

music volume is so high it becomes painful following

[@dutchloveRC]

that thing is sweet Josh

[@musk-eteer9898]

that thing is totally flerken' cool

[@sylaswojciechowski2584]

WOW! What software do you guys use to design these beasts?

[@spartan3299]

We need a Mini Goblin...A Nano Goblin the size of the Goblin. Get your foam cutter, 3d printer, and design team on it. If you build it...they will come.

[@hifinsword]

I don't do FaceBook, but I hear that is where FT downloadable plans are now. Is there anywhere else other than FB to download plans for this Flerken?

[@tango5814]

YOOO TY it's amazing flies amazing ty!

[@TheSquirrelRCchannel]

Any plans? I’d love to scratch build

[@Technicallyaddicted]

What all comes in the base kit? I just wrecked my 3ch p51 and was hoping to transplant its guts into the much cheaper flerken airframe. What all do you need to complete this from the $60 base kit?

[@jankarsch4935]

Are there plans to sratchbuild it? I would love to try this in EPP

[@bestamerica]

' try to put a fin on the top rear as (l) for turnning

[@p1xelman]

Where can I download the plans?

[@nickthompson9697]

Can this design be scaled up to take a 20# payload?

[@jacobshore2851]

where can I find the printable plans? I can't seem to find them on the ft website

Was the latch hole in the wrong part of the nose for anyone else?

[@jeffreyclements2720]

Yes… I had a hole in the foam board near the front, but no hole where the wooden piece mounted. Assuming this is an error? Or are we missing something?

[@65BAJA]

Dang. This thing is pretty complicated to build. Sweet looking tho.

[@TheBrohamExpress]

Yeah, I had a plastic plane on a string and had to spin in circle to make it fly. You suck! just kidding. Actually your show is very entertaining. you guys are having way to much fun.
