RC Flying Sled - RCTESTFLIGHT -

[@TheDzejpiem]

Awesome video! It’s great to see such a fantastic flying sled, especially one that’s perfect for a beginner like me. Could you please share the plans again? The previous link seems to have expired, and I’d love to give it a try.

[@SammSheperd]

Awesome. Looking forward to your ground effect vehicle! But as an actual pilot and aerodynamics enthusiast your "trapped bubble" explanation of ground effect is a popular one but incorrect.

[@sallerc]

Love the quadcopter roof rescue :-)

[@nathanamundson4785]

That is amazing. You should make tutorials and explain what things do and where to get the parts. I wish I could make one of these

[@sheabutter173]

you are an RC modeling genius ..

[@callline7183]

Really cool, reminds me of a cox engine pusher prop no control just a board and a mount that kind of looked like an everglades boat, except we ran it on the icy streets in the winter. Lots of fun. A pusher version of this with a bit of an airfoil might be interesting. Great idea and looks like lots of fun.

[@scottfrank8805]

We might get some snow: Minnesota. right now, not much at all. Thanks for the post. you make this just fun... cant wait to try it with my 3.5 yr old grandson.

[@shelbyintheolds]

That awesome. .. got my vote. Your house, your car... no harm no foul... awesome rc time.

[@Srlancelot39]

It's absolutely incredible how steady and controllable it really is! Great job! I'm sure much of that is your flying skill as well :P

[@grahamrdyer6322]

I like your "Just do it approach Daniel, I to was laughing at the plane/ Sled's antics.

[@Qromer]

Nice. Looks like a lot of fun. I think if you added some rounded wing tips out on the sided with some slight dihedral, it would stabilize better in the glide. Wish we had some snow like that in Arizona.

[@JKHStudios]

Hi there, I would recommend looking at the Caspian Sea monster, ( a giant ground effect aircraft made in WWII ) for some inspiration, and one tip. I think it would look pretty cool if this thing was BIG! Your the best rc channel I could find, and I love the change of projects! All the best, JKHStudios

[@spencer1244]

Nice video! I had a great laugh, the rescue from the quad copter was hilariously ingenious!!

[@ricansurf]

Love the use of a quadrotor for rescue!

[@jpdavis7676]

Daniel, I like the sled. Have you considered a big "T" tail horizontal stabilizer to get more clean air over the rear?

[@MakatiSuites]

That thing is crazy man... so glad there are some insane inventors like me around :)

[@JohnnyGrahamCracker]

love the concept. Really want to build one of these. Where are you located? We don't get much snow here, but when I go to CO this would be awesome to take with!

[@scotts-tech]

That was cool how you retrieved the plane with a quadcopter at around 3:47 How did you remotely get the string to attach to the plane well enough to be able to lift it up?

[@RCClassifieds]

An amazing affordable machine. Best part of it all ...it's fun!

[@lougedo07]

Great work on the video, enjoyed all the different takes

[@whoisddr]

Great sled! Daniel, you got (in a Salt Lake City?) much more snow than we got in Moscow.

[@fu7134]

i love your idea of exploring the ground effect for rc-models, because idk anyone but me who wants this effect brought to a smaller scale :/ some plans (and planes ;D ) would be helpful to build such vehicles

[@Hebdomad7]

You should check out some Ekranoplan designs if you are interested in ground effect. Personally I love flying my quad around in ground effect. I could almost now the lawn that way.

[@Rcfpvflight]

Awesome videos. I always enjoy it when you bring up a new video, love what you are doing!

[@robertskipcurran8401]

Smiled or laughed all through it! What fun! Groaned at the end, though.

[@buggygarden52]

Awesome video Daniel.. thumbs up!!!!!

[@jackgibbons6013]

Hi Daniel, love the sled and all your videos, keep up the good work. I was wondering about the delta trainer that you made for Lawson and what the specs were for the plane, I am interested in building something very similar. Thanks

[@originalfallinggirl]

Wicked! You are the coolest man alive!

[@Cyberbronco]

I like that RC truck towards the end. Is that yours or Larson's? What kind is it? Thx!

[@johnnyr19026]

old rctestflight style. very cool. nice edit. thumbs up

[@nathanfinnegan522]

What a great idea with the quadcopter at 3:48!

[@grim-upnorth]

Well I've started building it now... I couldn't believe I had literally everything I needed in the garage, no need to buy anything :) I've got a slightly big motor on mine though, a 35mm 1100kv motor, with 10x6 prop.... it was either that or a little 28mm 2200kv motor with 6x4 prop. So far I've built the skids and cut the main plate, rudder and elevons tomorrow, along with all the electrics. I've got an orangerx 3axis stabiliser from HK going on mine :)

[@nikosint6784]

Oh, that's nice! Can you say, from what you have done this RC flying sled?

[@peterlyons2000]

needs slats like a stacked wing in the mid section for speed. Guts in the way?

[@MrSilverback62]

Are you going to take a quad to the slopes?

[@Thats_Cool_Jack]

btw, where is that? nice view of the mountains.

[@christi_L]

This is hilarious, nice work man. Good ol' fashioned fun at its finest.

[@Lemonzrool]

Just discovered your channel! Watched a few videos and you've gained a subscribe! You're awesome dude aha

[@jimbarchuk]

The TAIL SLIDE at 1:25 was awesome! That was partly by accident but with the lighter sled (gyro) and your obvious skill it should be repeatably doable. Final score: truck-1, sled-0. :)

[@CrstnJdiKnight]

You are having sooo much fun making this or flying or controlling this vehile. ^_= Keep up the good work with them. ^_^

[@blademasta3650]

Dude i wish i had that, that looks AWESOME!!

[@TechHackerKa]

is there a controller for using gyros or had you to program an micro controller yourself for the job?

[@s7courier]

Always entertaining. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

[@maelperron_guerra4946]

How is this working? What are the physics behind it?

[@grim-upnorth]

I'm going to try to build something inspired by this... I've got a big sheet of depron in the garage, a few spare ESCs and motors, lots of tape, glue and popsicle sticks too... that appears to be your secret ingredient lol..... just need a few servos now though, good job hobbyking sell them so cheap that I don't mind putting them on this kind of build :)

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

Impressive how it can take a beating and keep flying...

[@augustgast]

This thing is super cool! Love it!!!

[@forwardphysx6167]

I just made my first air foiled foam plane, and as it takes off it does this instant flip.. Then nose dives into the ground. I was hoping you would know how to fix this, as i am still quite slow at making my own planes. i've tried taking weight from the tail but nothing worked. And also, should I just not be air foiling an elmers board foamie?

[@NanobeFLY]

Nice! good on ya for making lots of videos lately keep it up :) Always exited when one of yours pops up, cant say the same for many others

[@NanobeFLY]

Oh and ground effect vehicles, check out some ekranoplans if you havent already :)

[@TheDeanHaemel]

Awesome fun, but wheres Quinn?

[@MrBleuJay]

Why is it like always winter where you are

[@mtbjr.408]

Canada baby

[@scuba7781]

Yup, welcome to Canada where majority of the year seems to be winter. A month and a half to go -.-

[@carcinogen60yearsago]

he does not live in Canada

[@TheMiniMammoth]

Could you make a drone do you shopping and have the signal good enough to stay at home while you do it

[@tymfor]

Nice project. I'd think of adding top dihedral wing, this could lower the high alpha and probably make it soar just a bit ;)

[@LucS0042]

It would be interesting to see a 'giant' version of this, carry some weight while flying in ground effect!

[@AvidPaul]

You should put retractable wings on it

[@graywoulf]

This video is what sparked my interest in building RC planes five years ago. Now I build and fly planes and FPV quadcopters as a hobby. This video has cost me a lot of money and I have yet to build one of these. 🙄😁

[@Dragon3D]

same...

[@db-cn4cq]

I tried to make a ground effect vehicle once. It worked terribly. I hope you make one cause I want one really bad.

[@NorthAmericanRc]

Nice Video! It's like your Hydroplane . Thumbs up!

[@rcdude95]

How do you wire in the servos to have aileron and elevator control?

[@hiwayM9]

Daniel is the official Rube Goldberg of R/C ...you are so damn cool ;)

[@Maxisokol]

Now I just need a way to convert my delta-yak to a sled-yak. Pretty similar fun fliers. But my skills are not good enough for the yak yet. Maybe it'll go better if I'll just be crashing in soft snow rather than hard surfaces in summer. :)

[@makofoto]

Why not shroud the prop ?

[@wouterdebois7958]

Remotely controlled ekranoplan?

[@IT-sq5rj]

5:55 - He finally gets it!!

[@solid_spec]

forget a storm launcher... this thing rocks

[@jaxzavisha8747]

Is it about to ?

[@BLThackrey]

try a v-tail , edge winglets or a v hull design

[@JakeBullit123]

lots of oohs and aaahs,great job.

[@zonefpv4328]

Nice recovery from the roof at 3:48 :-)

[@magicsmokemitlothar7377]

This thing is super cool Love it

[@pappywith4]

how about rear engine pusher?

[@TheBigO-k6g]

DESIGNATED GROUND EFFECT VEHICLE ALREADY EXISTS. THEY ARE CALLED HOVERCRAFT OR SURFACE EFFECT VEHICLES, OR SEVS FOR SHORT. GOOGLE BARRY PALMER OR SEVTEC

[@bookoobeans]

Very entertaining as usual!

[@scottfrank8805]

oh, Wait, WOW, Really Durable!! you planned that right?

[@MurshedAnam]

@rctestflight could you list down all the components needed? Thanks!

[@Alexwilson225playsMC]

This is Hilarious! lol Great video!!! I wanna build an rc sled but we have almost no snow in Tennessee. lol

[@todd4freeusa]

Dude you could sell these things....TAKE MY MONEY

[@YouMockMe]

LMFAO Awesome... I was totally wonder how you were getting that down haha ( 3:45 )

[@holtonmudd1918]

Will u make a video of u building 1 out of house hold things that would be awesome im 11 and I would want to make 1

[@abrahamcuevas4920]

What city n state do u live plazxzx

[@Breslinmusic]

Congrats, Really Cool

[@vlraw]

How much it costs?

[@CommoMike]

6:35, is that Josh?

[@arlingtonhynes]

Upvoted at 0:03. Looking forward to the rest.

[@imager09tube]

What is the GC on this snow air thing?

[@Designandrew]

this is cool but I don't see why you couldn't make it a more traditional delta shape and still retain the ski like bottom it would make it more stable but still have all of the fun abilities this sled has. Just a thought. thanks for the video!

[@ricansurf]

A rectangle makes the best sled

[@Designandrew]

liquidrider flythewaves But you could have the sleds like "fuel tanks" under the wings that extend the length of the fuselage.

[@ErickVOnUTube]

Do you make and sell these?

[@NOXFPV]

Awesome roof rescue.

[@ColtonB]

I've been meaning to build one of those! I have a motor and ESC who need a home :)

[@ColtonB]

Are you on Twitter?

[@jamespenhallow6317]

you could manufacture and sell these

[@Karlemilstorm]

Put a brushless gimbal on that car!!

[@joshwayop]

You should do fpv with that thing

[@PotRacer]

FPV - we need FPV here :D quite hard to fly with those characteristics but for cruising around in snow it would be awesome :D

[@lungocicorneliu1119]

Nice video.

[@MrDriveAndFlyRC]

I love this video

[@MrYottsan]

いいね、一度同じものを作ってみたいですね。

[@clayspurlin401]

I want a water version of this

[@macrumpton]

You should name it Timex because it takes a licking and keeps on ticking!

[@ivanpetr4824]

Great job guys! : D
