Huge 3D Printed Illuminated Plane

[@Minutemman]

man this feels like old Flite Test just getting a plane and going flying with a friends and having fun, the video being 75% building and 25% flying.

[@eulachonfish]

FT is at its best when you forget you're filming the episode, Josh. These planes look great and remind me of the Radian as well, surprised you didn't mention the split takedown wings, which are a neat feature in a plane that looks like it's built in one piece.

[@litterbug4023]

half done with my V2.... oughtta switch to new night edition. Have a few FT Auras, launch assist is AWESOME!!!! Love to see the target is still on the field!!!

[@biggerstuff360]

What fc is that at 1:10 in?

[@TheTwistedStone]

For low cost lighting effects try the control boards from cheap led bike lights. Up to 6 channel and can be switched remotely. I have one driving my garden lights and great for parties and gatherings....

[@RPGWoodworking]

maybe i missed it along the way but it seems like i haven't seen Alex around in almost a year! did something happen? did he just decide to move on? inquiring minds want to know...

[@SPECTRE_ASF]

Yeah bro where is Alex:(

[@freemansfocus]

Alex is working for a different company, but his channel is Drive On.

[@RPGWoodworking]

@@freemansfocus thanks for the reply. good to know that he and his family are ok and doing well.

[@freemansfocus]

Check out Alex's channel. It's pretty cool.

[@JacobRWiebe]

Yes good to know... I feel like ive watched every FT episode since Josh Bixler And Josh Scot started filling in his basement. And it was like Alex just dropped off the face of the earth lol. Thanks for the info

We flew V-Tail gliders and Pattern Ships in west Phoenix because the thistles and desert weeds would kill any traditional tail feathers right away, V Tails Rock! We didn't have mixing so we used sliding servo trays; we achieved differential rates in turns by coupling the sliding servo wheel to the elevator servo wheel instead of the tray so turns always had some up. We hand launched and caught big lift, we sky'd them for hours! Night flights were three glow sticks and book tape, just recharged and flew all day and after evening barbecue, all night long. Night flying in the desert is like slope soaring, constant warm breeze and gentle, even lift. You can achieve zero forward motion and constant altitude.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

That was so cool. I love flying at night. I put scale navigation lights on my E-Flite 1.1m T-28's and flew several flights last night. Night flying is so peaceful. Great video guys..

[@triracers7832]

Next you should make a Concorde

[@jdanejr]

Excellent work I had a idea if fpv parachutes dropped from a plane hope you like it too

[@DieselsandOutdoors]

The detail in the B-17 is so cool

[@unidentifieduser5550]

what FPV goggle are you using? how are you connecting it to the camera?

[@skyforce1983]

please give me the link to the mud led i couldn't find it in your store and you do not have the link to it in your description i want one

[@MUDDARTRC]

Coming to FT store soon. facebook.com/groups/963755117780082/?ref=share

[@Anupkulkarni23]

In the big plane you need to put a popcorn maker. And let popcorn rain as it passes over you guys.

[@mitch7095]

Love the videos i was just asking because my sons b day is coming up really would apreciate it

[@alexandertaylor2951]

Night flying.my bro and I attached a glow strand to a parachute deploy and started launching am. Rockets at night. So much fun. He actually caught one coming down. Good times😸

[@fpvunbox5148]

dose the aura stabilizer alow use of tbs crossfire nano?

Beautiful footage!

[@ralphbronzin9721]

Great job guys! looks amazing! Also can't wait to see that giant B-17 take to the air =D

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

Good flight. They look great with the LED's

[@TheVengeanceofdefile]

Just awesome as always 💯💯💯

[@TheVengeanceofdefile]

Hey brother

[@michaelreasoner4023]

Which model is this, on Eclipsons site there is both the "Model S" and "Model V2"

[@enzoventer1922]

Is this printed in normal PLA? or is there a specific lightweight PLA?

[@megake12]

Can you guys do a video on a black Hawk helicopter?

[@denismathieu9702]

You should use foldable props on your gliders !

[@Unser_Osten]

Nice project but is it possible to add a fuel engine on sich a plane ?

[@theimmortalhybrid6526]

hey there i look forward to seeing you guys actually put up the B17 plane and then actually start flying it soon

[@wisehomo]

Best Team. I got into this hobby thanks to Josh's motivating personality watching one of his early vids in 2013. I bought my first rc plane I thought I could just fly it simply by reading the manual lol. I put together the plane and when I tried to fly it I managed to crash it twice then I tried to fix it using hot glue. I bought the pusher airplane ready to fly. in 2018, I upped the game. I build fully my own plane using foam and flew it purely my own design I used NACA database of airfoils. figured all the aerodynamic forces built a setup to measure the thrust of motors. Thanks Josh for inspiration. I love airplanes a lot. I don't understand why you never thought about building real flying planes?

[@terrywells3955]

Man that was so cool 😎 and like everyone else can't wait for the B-17

[@jonaldtheduck905]

what happened to the b-17?

[@fadybenmoussa2114]

where to find the V2 ?

[@richb313]

Good job guys it looks great flying near dark. Keep it up.

[@AerospaceMatt]

I love my Night Radian FT! This is awesome!

[@GewoonDavid.]

good job! amazing video

[@stephencantbewrong8250]

Fantastic!

[@Roberto-oi7lm]

Rather than paint those 3d printed fake engine parts, do a filament change for the last few layers using a different color to get a two-toned part. Start with black or very dark gray and finish with silver, even "silk" silver to highlight the pushrod tubes, the rocker cover, the ring around the base of the cylinders, etc. It's hard to tell if your existing part will work as is or if it needs a redesign to make sure the silver colored parts are the last to print (highest on the build plate) but if not a quick re-design will fix that. You can watch carefully and do a manual filament change or you can build it into your g-code. It's easy.

[@dutchloveRC]

great video guys

[@Pairocat]

I just started on your channel, so are you able to buy your planes?

[@gautamsuresh4936]

Hey FT, can you deliver your products to India???

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

Awesome. How abour building something with a BRS, Balistic Revovery System. What can possibly go wrong with an RC Aircraft and explosives.

[@AerospaceMatt]

They did that in their early years (about 10 years ago) with Josh Scott. They used an Apprentice with a couple of huge plastic garbage bags as the parachute.

[@ohiorc5586]

Can’t wait to see the b17

[@brettnelson7048]

LOVE IT!!!! 😍🔥

[@nyafu_uwu]

i havent watched this channel i 2months and i got hit with so mutch nostalgia lul

They’re doing an F-4?!

[@SpartanChief17C]

@@AerospaceMatt a couple videos ago I commented asking if they could do the Phantom, and *Josh Bixler* replied that John was working on it. 😁

[@slothzombi307]

The planes lights remind me of an octopus or cuttlefish the way they flicker and shift. Our club tries to get in a few 🌙 night Flys each summer.

[@stephentoy526]

Can you attempt to build a simple Lockhead Martin L-1011 Tristar and put it on sale in the store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@masbeetleboy9169]

Can Flite Test offer this plane as a kit? That would be awesome.

[@chrisd2006]

Yes…good idea.

[@larrylenz7723]

Now your surroundings neighbors are going to have UFO sittings!!! Lol looks cool tho!

How had the wind been out that way for you guys? I live in MA and the wind never friggen stops. Have had like 4 or 5 calm days so far this year and that's it. Makes it difficult to fly light planes.

[@scottmichael3745]

East coast central Florida has been windy as Hell the last month or so. Really kills the fishing. Last Wednesday it was 25 mph!

Your guys’s next build after the legendary B-17 should be a predator drone I got that idea when I was looking at the tail of the “gliders”

Hi

[@thinkingofrvlife9287]

In 19 71 I was stationed at Memphis Naval air station, which is no longer there. I worked at the station hobby shop and we had a model airplane flying club and we used to fly our models just outside the hobby shop. We flew control line airplanes on sixty foot steel cables. We would fly conbat, two or three in the circle with cray paper streamers. Sometim around 1973 or 4 someone gave me a painting of us flying our planes. I have had it all these years and I would like to sell it, perhaps half to me and halft to flight test, so that someone who loves model airplane flying can enjoy it like I have. I can send a picture.

[@Stubby0266]

I don't know how many 3D printed planes I have but what drive me nuts is that I try to print, as per settings and instructions, nothing seems to work. Going thru the same thing for this glider. The amount of hours and failed prints, wasted filament and cost of electricity, I think it is worth the cost go back to balsa or foam kits.
