Cut the bottles to use the plastic as sheets to make a wing and use the same plastic to make ribs or even use cardboard for the rest. Cool project.

[@USWaterRockets]

The only glue that works well on PETG bottles is PL Premium Construction Adhesive. Other glues don't stick or they chemically break down the plastic and it loses strength. We use this glue to splice bottles together to make them larger for huge water rockets. It even holds pressure!

[@tomheetderks9997]

That is awesome! what material did you use if I may ask?

[@ernie5229]

Pressurize the bottles and use them for the wing spars, fuselage, and maybe tail surfaces (depending on sizes available). This will make them structurally sound. Use the packing tape with the filliments for support. To save weight if doing a small build. Use the thinnest bottles you can find, but use a lid from a 2 liter, as the thin water bottle cap lid is too weak. I never completely finished the build, but it looked very promising, considering. If you get tons of requests, I'll make one for you.

[@jr52990]

There is a working barrel shaped wing that you guys could have done. But it does require that the barrel shapes spin. It has to do with the way the air interacts with surface friction and such. Kind of a cool physics thing. There have actually been sailing ships that put these on and helped move them forward.

[@LostWax]

Hey Guys, super fun video! Jeremy, I love how far you are willing to push into things that seem to have a high chance of failure:) But that's totally the spirit of invention. It's great to watch someone creating from the viewpoint of possibilities rather than improbabilities.

[@Zankaroo]

We knew cardboard with a bottle fuselage would fly just fine. Don't stop with the soda bottle plane though. Both of you should just work together to make one awesome plane. My thought would be to cut the nozzle and bottom off, cut down the side then use a heat gun and some flat weight (like books) and use straight parts of the bottles for wing skins and control surfaces. Flattening and folding the plastic could also make sturdier mounting locations or braces to make a part more ridged. Also kinda wondering about mounting an EDF inside a bottle exhausting out the nozzle. If you play around with these ideas then you should be able to start making some cool looking planes like your foam board planes but with soda bottles. Also you should make a soda bottle flying boat and float plane.

[@NiezamRC]

Yup, flat it completely and shape it...or cut top and bottom of the bottles, insert aerofoil shape mole and heat it into shape. I'm happy waiting to see that bottle plane will fly soon.

[@TheJttv]

Nah use a clothes iron when flattening the bottle

[@Zankaroo]

@@TheJttv Clothes iron would get way to hot even on the low setting, heat guns come in varying temps and some are adjustable and can be adjusted further by holding the gun further away from the target. We want to make it malleable not liquid.

[@Shortsircut1]

@@Zankaroo You could use a Mono-Cote iron, their heat ranges are lower than a regular iron.

[@Shortsircut1]

Danny Hampton, I was also thinking an EDF would make an appearance, seems like a perfect application! How about it Flite Test, how about a redo?

[@thelucondrix391]

I really like how y'all turned what was trash into something great. I liked your bottle planes, but the concept reminded me of when my great grandfather made a gas powered plane out of soda bottle plastic (the older stuff, so it didn't last unfortunately), scrap piano wire, and had carved scrap wood. He used to make models for a living, a lot of his work is in museums, and perfect details too. But it always made me feel better knowing that most of them was built from scraps of things that he found around the house. XD

[@walk4718]

Love Jeremy's comment at the end about the hobby is not all about just the flying. Still laughing. Kinda like that blind date; she really has a great personality. 😆

[@richb313]

All RC Planes, if you actually fly them, eventually crash so why not get the crash part over with first. That's FliteTest and that's why we love it.

[@dadeoof4255]

I agree the building is where the fun is! I will spend weeks designing and building and only flying it a few times b4 it end up on the wall or in the recycling bend, and then move on to designing and building something new.

[@somethingelse2740]

Josh, I noticed in your Bird of time review video you were going to buy lead shot bags for wing construction. Since this is an extreme recycling video I thought I'd share a recycling tip that I use. If you have walmart bags, old tube socks and a "tube of sand" from home depot laying around you can make a bunch of soft weights for wing sheeting instead of paying much more for lead shot bags. Just add enough dry sand to a walmart bag and roll it into an approximately 3" diameter log, place that log into another bag and roll it up, place into third bag and roll up. The rolling doesn't have to be tight, You want your logs to be soft and flexible. the multiple bags protect from sand leakage. Slide the triple rolled logs of sand into a tube sock and tie off the end of the sock. You can get a whole bunch of weights out of one $5 tube of sand from home depot, and the socks are really soft on the wing. The sand logs conform to curved surfaces quite nicely and you can make custom sizes and weights if you choose. Enjoy! Keep up the great work guys, you are all awesome and a boon to the hobby!

[@titogilbert2]

Awesome video! If you put the bottle in boiling water first, you can pre-shrink the plastic so it wont react to the extreme temp changes so much.

[@mickk8951]

Yup, anything can fly if you put your mind to it. Been playing a game called 'Simple Planes' and some of the stuff that manages to get up in the air is amazing and pretty strange. lol

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty amazing job, guys! 😃 One idea about the bottle plane: cut the bottles to make plastic sheets. Then make the structure with cardboard and apply the plastic sheets over it. 😉

[@wun1gee]

With enough power and the proper CG you can make anything fly. Literally anything.

[@davidsparrow1176]

if you'd used a heat gun on the plastic bottle, you could have shaped the bottles better to shape. If you cut the bottles you can form / mould even better shapes and when it shrinks it become stronger.

[@williamcorban5244]

I made pop bottle go up 100s of feet in a couple of seconds .. as water rockets. But a wing and RC on one too, as an, well, air shuttle. There still are other and better typed of glue than hotsnot... I made cylinders of 5 or more bottles with the ends cut off and PU glued together, and they held out 100 psi and more.

[@EGOS42]

Use a heat gun to deform the plastic bottles more. You could probably do some significant wing sculpting.

[@philipbrossman6197]

Pizza box wing. Then cut the Dew bottles at the appropriate places to make a tube type fuselage. And pizza box for vert and horz stabs.

[@SebaBollatti]

[@StuffUCanMake]

Your exuberance is refreshing and you gave me very practical information.

[@minutemark]

Idea: fill the bottles with water before hot gluing to prevent warping or burning through the plastic.

[@Handz4NatureProject]

[@rowgler1]

This is a really interesting challenge. I think it deserves to be revisited by trying to build a plane using 90% recycled plastic bottles of any kind. There are a lot of different shaped containers out there. Pop rivets can hold parts together with precision. Cutting ,origami folds and thermoforming would make for all kinds of possibilities. All that plastic with LED lights inside would look really good at night. Oddly shaped translucent airplanes.

[@shanetaggart6060]

[@jamesfoster7158]

I have an idea for the pop bottle wings. Make an airfoil form from something hard, like wood. Then slip the 2 liter bottle over the form and use a hot air gun to shrink the bottle onto the form. Remove the bottle and repeat until you have enough sections to make a full wing.

[@nzalex1]

You guys are awesome. I love you videos and I have nothing to do with rc planes or anything like this.

[@jtuttle11]

Maybe if you had put small holes in the bottles to allow the internal pressure to equalize, The air inside the building is much warmer and therefore less dense than the outside air which caused the bottles to collapse.

[@vinceo5296]

[@edsherrod5216]

Great job both of you. Sanding the plastic on the pop bottles might give the glue a better chance to hold things together... The plane created from pizza boxes reminds me of a either a Carl Goldberg lil' Satan control line or a Sig Wonder. Again - kudos to both of you!

[@felis4721]

[@thecraftking113]

[@macrumpton]

With that much camber you needed a much steeper angle of attack for the main wing, and maybe twice as much power.

[@basbastian2998]

Just a little thing about Fusion 360. It is totally free to use, for non-commercial use, under their creative license. Therefore everybody who just wants to use it at home to print some 3d stuff or sketch a plane. They can run an official version for free. The trick is to install the trial version first and from there enter the registration process. And read the fine print, because there you will find the free option..... It is all explained on this page from Autodesk: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-activate-start-up-or-educational-licensing-for-Fusion-360.html I hope it helps the community. Fusion 360 is a great free product for personal use.

Use inboard for lift and tail control, reverse outboard for critical inboard+ airspeed bonus vs reverse aerofoil outboard.
