I will build a flying Harry Potter car...

[@Hmmidkboutthat]

Make the delorean from “back to the future” put the motores in the tires👍🏻 this could be a Nice experiment ( please Do this) Hello from Denmark🇩🇰

[@SirFlopoges]

I would love to see this done with precision and care... then watch it get destroyed by these loons! Haha!

[@EdwardChew]

@@SirFlopoges ya make it a quad on 4 wheels. i pledge this comment!

[@ledchickenfpv7164]

A "Back To The Future" Delorean quadcopter would look awesome! Please consider doing this Flite Test!

[@kreevee8351]

Hey i was thinking of doing that

[@kreevee8351]

Seriously

[@chriscrawford1958]

Calculations while designing aircraft? Who needs calculations? We don’t need no calculations!!! Oh yeah, paint it sky blue. Perfect color for an aircraft that you need to see while flying! I love you guys!!!

[@mattyp80]

he was keeping it true to the real one! if it hadn't been sky blue then we should get concerned :-)

[@modelnutty6503]

a little darker would be better, should have drawn lines for the fenders and doors with a sharpie real quick too. battery directly under motor might be a good spot so the motor and some of the battery are as far forward as possible. little carbon fiber X brace at the front adds tiny amount of weight where it'd help, and add a little rigidity, spray paint some fiberglass window screen mesh and put the hood right on the hood line (it'll breathe but help push nose down a little too + appearance). use white foam board for the top, re-draw the line so the rear of the car top is 1/8" lower, to help the rear lift up flatter..... these just things I'd look at messing with to make it happen better. little longer skewer directly into the body up front especially for its "axles"

[@BillAnt]

Nehh... just take the hood off, and see if it flies better... yep that's the ticket! :D Oh and don't forget the Michelin tires for a smoother flight. ;D

[@dimas152mm]

this reminds me about that legendary flying lawnmower

[@jordanbrammer6610]

They should make that

[@noahthecellist1764]

Omg kerbal space program!

[@PcPilot82]

T r a i l m a k e r s ? :[)

[@dtodd1654]

thay should make that

[@Tocsin-Bang]

In the UK there used to be a team who did formation flying with a set of flying lawnmowers.

[@vinceo5296]

I like that you can identify a Ford Anglia, but you call the movie "Harry Potter Two". lol

[@TrueInkpoint]

Ikr

[@trevorzamora87]

Lol! At least Jeremy knew about the whomping willow!

[@Hackanhacker]

ahahahahh

[@BobMonkeypimp]

Harry Potter = Books written by a pompous SJW with the misguided belief that she has political influence. Ford Anglia = Actual Classic

[@jackalnerf6230]

I think she’s been forced into SJWhood, she didn’t used to be how she is now.

[@xtkfpv5306]

Mad Props Alex, If it were not for the thumbnail, I would have never thought this would work. This is by far the most out of the box ideas building a flying vehicle with no traditional aerodynamic properties to speak of. I am very impressed great job.

[@javeronh.3996]

so a cut in the side to make sure the hood is straight, and a little more room in the elevons so the rudder can work still. INCREDIBLE build!!!!

[@dankoehler4119]

I'd like to see Snoopy on his dog house flying.

[@novelacrobat9486]

Dan Koehler omg yes

[@tdsfireblaster6468]

Dan Koehler that honestly would work

[@dust6257]

Ideas: Delorion, The flubber car, General Lee, The train from back to the future, Doms' charger, Magic school bus, Knight Rider, Snowmobile, Tank, oh wait, already did that, Dr Claws' flying caddy from the old inspector gadget cartoons,

[@mikezog1030]

Submarine?

[@jeffreyburrows8248]

how about the FIRST movie flying car..Chitty chitty bang bang?

[@donmiller316]

Absolutely hilarious. We just binge watched the Potter movies during the covid lock down . You not only captured the look of the car but the fact that it appears to be flying due to pure magic vs any form of aerodynamic principles. 🤣 Almost sprayed my laptop with rum and coke when the midair drone strike occurred.

[@scottwalker86]

You guys should do the chitty chitty bang bang car with wings that fold out

[@AnimilesYT]

At first when Josh and Josh ran the channel I loved it. But once more people joined in I started to enjoy the videos less and less up to the point where I simply didn't watch them anymore and I unsubscribed. Recently I was talking about RC planes with someone, and I looked up a video of yours. In the suggestions I saw some cool things which I clicked on. And I must say, I never expected this group to become this amazing. You are all really enthusiastic in your own ways and you're doing crazy projects. I'm a little bit sad that there aren't many new modular builds anymore though. But I'm still really glad that I had that one conversation which brought me back to the channel :D

[@modelrc9500]

Of course simplisafe! Completely relates to the video and a sponsorship was totally needed to make this video!

[@jdawg9342]

Another awesome vid from my fav KZbin channel!!

[@arnienonymous4458]

Dang! Nice job right off the table! The flight characteristics seem a little weasley (yeah, I went there), but all in all, a proper success.

[@evernewb2073]

as great as a magical flying rustbucket is those last couple seconds were by far the best part of the video.

[@Pradeep.Poonia]

1980's : We will have flying cars in future. 2019: We have them!

[@beriorgar]

flying cars, flying tanks, flying chairs, what's next, flying airplanes?

[@___echo___]

There was a flying toilet

[@daice8794]

What about flying floors

[@DevilGaming-dx4yr]

How about flying carpet?

[@BillAnt]

Maybe flying doors and houses? xD

[@eaminyashed7799]

Flying taxidermy

[@aryasrc3511]

They never come up short with good ideas

[@ToddLarsen]

Just when you think your day could not possibly get any better, you guys went and did it! Thank you so much that was the Best Ever flying car build and flight. Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍

[@MCCLIPS2069]

You guys should make a flying carpet

[@samhanna4803]

You guys should make a replica of the Avro Arrow, it was an amazing plane think you guys would have a lot of fun with it!

[@tinamiller2937]

Yh but we're would they hide the than???

[@chicohaze787]

All I gotta say is. These guy are blessed I thought that car would never get off the ground I was thinking we’re are the wings wait the car is the wing. Great job. This guys make anything fly.

[@Raycefan]

Dear Alex, Every day that Flitetest releases a new video is a special day. Also, it’s a great day. We need more great days. (Aka more videos)

[@SuperZeze89]

you make it fly without digital effect like on the movie good job

[@foamdataservices]

Awesome Anglia there! My mum had one she called Cuthbert, it burned nearly as much oil as gas, didn’t fly either. The knife-edge tree (RIP) could have been your whumping willow.

[@kevinshen9391]

You should make a compilation of all the times a chase quad crashes into a plane

[@mikeupton5406]

Quad Qurash, the Motion Picture......

[@BillAnt]

It would max out the hard drive. ;D

[@idk-ir6vv]

100% should be a kit on the flite test store!!!

[@diogonunes1865]

What was that f4u/a-10 hybrid behind you? It looked really cool

[@Sadpersonsclub]

The steering idea was genius, this is amazing, you guys are amazing

[@disturbedwaffle327]

hey flitetest this has been one of my favorite hobbys to do at home or at the park i just wanted to say thanks for what you guys have been doing your videos have helped me by making me more confident in my flying abilitys i am now trying to get into 3D helicopters and i just wanted to say thank you very much

[@luisfigueroa2701]

Awesome Video....little bit of strain on the servos for the Elevons. Need to adjust your throws on the radio

[@TheBlindRailfan]

Hey guys. Love the flying car,, battleship and all the other odd-ball stuff you've flown. Have you ever considered making a locomotive fly? Think Back to the Future Pt. 3. Just thinking out loud.

[@robertalekel5351]

Hey guys. Love your stuff. A few random project ideas: more vtol projects, Molded spray foam plane (using something like Great Stuff and maybe 2 liter bottles for fusalage molds), some kind of swept wing plane, "if I had a flying car, it would look like this", could you generate enough power from a single nitro engine to power a quad?.... like I said, random :)

[@mattyp80]

Alex, couple of points: with the bonnet (sorry) - hood - where it is, it is acting like a cannard control surface being so far fwd! if you look at the real Anglia, the bonnet slopes down slightly between the two headlamp tunnels (like a Porsche but not as exaggerated)! you could do this with a slightly steeper angle and the result would be to bring the front/nose/motor end down. Same with the boot (sorry again) - trunk - that angles down slightly towards the rear on the real thing also! If you combine the effects of the bonnet(hood) and the boot(trunk) you shouldn't need too much drastic angle on either! With the rudder, I would mount a servo upside down on the underside of the boot(trunk) with a tee horn on and use the rear portion of the side plates cut so as not to interfere with the elevons then you should have much better rudder control! Don't know if these points are worth considering or are after the stable door is shut but might be useful on further projects!?!

[@mclr.cfabricationandperfor5255]

Where is part two? I want to see part two!this was one of the best videos yet

[@86Vili86]

The flying foamboard Ford Anglia :) Really nice

[@giliant]

One of my favorite episodes of all time, fantastic!

[@ethanrichardson5168]

Awesome job! Stefan’s laugh is partly why I watch these videos.😂

[@cassrag]

Hobby hangar did a flying lawnmower. I love that place.

[@iforce2d]

I think two props would help a lot, cancel the torque and put stronger airflow directly onto each elevon instead of in the middle.

[@thebusbums2825]

This flys exactly like the movie car

[@quietmale00101]

that was absolutely cool and funny as hell especially the crash at the end lol and the falling apart at the very end

[@hockeyguy820]

Adding the hood moved the center of lift of the entire aircraft forward, so for pitch stability you need to move the CG forward too. Think of a canard or tandem wing airplane. The more lifting surface you have up front the more you need to move the CG forward. Or just hang on the prop all day :)

[@MrSpitfireMustang]

If you rig up a basic steering rack you can then connect it to the rudder servo for more realistic steering.

[@TheSkinnyTwig]

One of my favorite builds y’all have done 🤙🏻

[@adammoray9378]

Air demolition derby? now there's a plan bro!!

[@justinchilds1593]

Please put this in the store!!!! Really cool build!!!

[@adriellepriscillasouzalira6744]

I love the video-watching the car fly was really fun. I was wondering if you still have the final sketch for this project. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and my boyfriend is a pilot; we want to try to build one for ourselves. Thanks in advance :)

[@maranellogaming]

I think the Lamborghini huracan would fly good because it’s sharp and aerodynamic so the air flow would not be stopped by the windshield and it would be a nice plane/car and the plane/car would be easy to fly. (my idea for next vid)

[@christophercurley3999]

Lol that last split second was the absolute best way to end the video.....I laughed so hard.....guess you used up all the magic holding it together

[@samsonfpv8902]

LOL “is that what you think?!” Love it. Al. From a namesake

[@Marcellus74]

awesome quadcopter camera skills as usual ! Jedi level !

[@TheMpkeaton]

You're a wizard Harry!

[@jjsanimations]

U should make 2 rc tanks that fly and fight in the air

[@shilohstore6086]

That ending 😂

[@miner507]

the drone pilot was cold i bet and wanted to get inside faster xD

[@jorgehc519]

the little steering wheel is a very clever idea!!!

[@Bikes_N_Adventure]

The Potter themed music really made this epic! Great work!

[@kittyhawk3831]

Making ground vehicles fly is such a creative idea! Do any of you guys play "Grand Theft Auto: Online"? There's a few vehicles in that game that spark this kind of creativity. Flying jet-bikes, Amphibious Vehicles, even a VTOL-capable Grumman Goose! I recommend looking into them, they could spark even more creative ideas for you guys :)

[@Part_time_spacemarine]

I had to stop playing world of warships for this

[@spacemonkey037]

I had to stop playing world of RC-planes for this

[@axellee1119]

I had to stop playing World of Tanks for this

[@B10KPlaysGames]

I had to stop playing *insert generic app store game here*

[@SirFlopoges]

I had to stop playing War Thunder for this

[@tacticalbuttsex4669]

I had to stop playing with myself for this

[@dkhallal]

I’m in tears, oh my word, that was awesome Alex, well done!

[@3dPrint_and_chill]

British expat here. It's "Ang" as in "angle" "lee" "ah". You said it right the first time!

[@billiejean5848]

Had it right the first time Ford Anglia 105e deluxe saloon 2 door sedan artic blue with a white top standard transmission

[@toysoldier46552]

Gotta be the best build so far, I like this one more than the tank which was epic btw!

[@levibeebe9100]

I also want to see a back to the future car... That sounds epic

[@jeremiahkennel2608]

I'm Merry Poppins y'all

[@og_myxiplx]

Epic video, you guys gotta release this as a kit!

[@uavtv5809]

Love the work that is uploaded. I can see the love for this hobby in everything you do!

[@MaxImagination]

The future is here! Flying cars!

[@bradbechlyb9273]

Love these crazy builds

[@JasonUberig]

@Alex.... down and right thrust angle on the motor might help with the tendency of the car to go up with the hood on. Just like a nutball.... 5 degrees down, 3 degrees right. Worth a shot if you're going to do anything more with this ;-).

[@scientificbhaiya9336]

Please make a traxxas x maxx fly. Because you all are capable of making anything fly as I see. You all are amazing please do this.🙏😎

[@LectronCircuits]

When things get really Harry, you just have to wing it. Cheers!

[@ddhale190]

Gotta love Stefan....You didn't need that!! PRICELESS

[@flyingcatfish]

Nice video. Here's a suggestion if you decide to re-visit this in the future. I didn't see anyone mention it, or maybe I just missed it. Many designs have the plank wing going from the front and top of the hood down to the bottom of the trunk. Some are straight and some have an S shape. Great work, guys!

[@akshayd211]

Can you guys show us the BARE BASICS of the RC Transmitter, ESC, motors etc - How to connect them, what to expect and how to get the basic engine and controls going? Please!!!! :)

[@foamyflightmaster9385]

A little downthrust maybe? Great to see an iconic Ford Anglia take to the sky.

[@ignaciodominguez4505]

that´s awesome, i wasnt expect such a great performance

[@jasontaylor6595]

My take on this design is that it could be enhanced by moving/adding elevators on the roof of what is the boot. That way you could keep the hood but thrust vector the air down with elevators after it’s travelled through the prop/ hood/ middle of car then hit the elevator and been forced down to counter the pitch up? It should add wing surface area too which may improve glidelope once a level pitch has been established?

[@KeleFPV]

I'm dying guys. Great episode!

[@kevalinopicks5555]

It’s worth watching these to hear the laughter!

[@rmdcade1717]

Awesome video. Idea to execution presented in one go, with grins the whole way.

[@tracybillingsley2648]

I thought you were crazy for not making it a quad, but your car flew much more like the car in the movies. The "nutball" type flight was VERY Harry Potter.

[@shaphanbates9367]

Just an idea for your next video! Could ya'll design a C-47 and put "That's All Brother" on the front for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day? It would mean a lot for all of us who love Warbirds!!!

[@farmers2630]

It would be cool to see the flite test guys build a rocket-assisted liftless body aircraft. Like the M2-F1.

[@hasegawashuichi1539]

Cool build! really fun to watch! by my reckoning, i think if you added a down pitch on the roof it would have been more stable.

[@mindidiangamer15]

You are amazing you have inspired me to build a plane myself haven’t tried it yet though

[@airproductions4383]

Can you guys plz make a plane made out of tin cans I whould love to see you do it I have watch for years and it’s still my favorite Chanel on KZbin

[@TheGlorblonk]

That landing though

[@j.q.higgins2245]

What a blast!! 😂 🤣 👍 But you just HAVE to add a photo silhouette of Daniel Radcliffe panicking...

[@SamIam420]

That was awesome for a 1st flight!

[@kevinfinkel5536]

Mailbox slot in the middle would allow for better airflow control at high alpha.

[@justin21er4]

18:16 Bro watch yo jet WATCH YO JET Minecraft DEATH sound : OOF

[@2010HarleyDynaFXD]

It would be neat to see the Wright Brothers plane fly the first in flight.

[@jonofrono762]

I love how much fun you have. I need a job like that.

[@rahulmuthria8844]

One of the best things I've ever seen so far.

[@kingcronic1999]

Great video bro love the idea and I cant get enough of your guys videos, but I'm from pa and I cant believe ya went outside in winter with only socks I'd been running inside sticking my feet in the fire lol

[@shmaxo]

If you attached a flat board under the curved roof wouldn't be a bit more wing-like and create some lift and maybe some stability? It would be an easy mod to try out

[@jdj62464]

The first 10 seconds of each flight looked very realistic to the way it flew in the movie.

[@charliemastin5762]

I'm so glad you guys posted a new video today, I'm doing my first scratch build today and really needed that motivation. Loving the channel, you guys are a great inspiration!

[@MykroNerd]

I Know you guys are probably busy with other projects but a rocket that shoots up several hundred feet and has a space shuttle that can be flow down using FPV would be WICKED!
