Thoroughly enjoyed hearing the classic intro music again.

[@finnleithomczyk5292]

it is so nostalgic

[@BrandoDrum]

I love the growing and changing team BUT WE NEED AN INTO VIDEO!! Who are these awesome guys, what makes them tick? I'd love to be re introduced to all the great folks I see on camera. Keep the awesomeness coming guys!

[@davethomas165]

Fantastic job as usual.......Dave, this is Dave(and Rob) from the crawler course. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the mini tour and the hospitality that you showed us after our comp. It was really a pleasure getting to talk to you a little more about flitetest, and the amazing job that you folks do for the hobby community. Keep up the great work guys!!!

[@davidjester5085]

You guys are very welcome, gave to have you around!

[@mandarin1257]

I love biplanes! When I was little there were two An-2 at our local aerodrome. Damn, I miss those old Soviet beauties!

[@PilotInstitute]

The hangar looks amazing!

[@yucannthahvitt251]

This is the first time we've seen any sort of 3D on FT in a long time

[@aerospacematt9147]

Josh loses his hatch. Ah yes, that meme will never die!

[@unravel9907]

Mono flexes like a big dawg! Use braid! Keep up the good work. Awesome plane. 👏 ✈️

[@steelsandport3613]

Very well done built to last

[@kendrahadley1181]

You guys should make a FW190 and battle

[@joegilly1523]

Cool plane as always .what goes up must come down . Hopefully on its landing gear.👍

[@DMrobotricx]

Yeah

[@biko9824]

“The pilot’s alive, and the plane is on the ground. A successful landing” -War Thunder loading screen tips

[@EJ-74]

For long push rods I use a straw to feed the rod through and glue it to the fuselage so the Rob has something to ride against instead of kinking and losing through Nice build guys Looks like it fly's great 🔥👍✌️

[@reeshavchowdhury9674]

Love the intro brings back memories.

[@benkramer3194]

Great looking plane

[@SEVNTIGERS]

Congrats on the successful maiden on the PLAne - :) :) whole lotta printing . . . but worth it 👍👍

[@traveler7137]

I'm about halfway into this video and I've got to say fellas this is the most fascinating thing I've ever seen about airplanes on the internet. Is it possible that production of airplanes could be built the same as the way you built yours and marketed. Very interesting.

[@fooman2108]

Josh, now that you are 3-d printing so many things for flite test make sure to print TWO of the hatches with you record for hatches.... P.S. subscriber nearly since you guys started...

[@conteryboy2843]

Holy man what a beautiful model, yall should totally make a 1/3 scale corsair and put it in battle with the giant B17

[@talec184]

Thanks for a great video! This is a very interesting concept with 3D printers becoming more affordable. I would love to see you guys print something a bit stouter and put one of the old gasser motors on board after you become a bit more comfortable with the material.

[@ronaldheit196]

Awesome bird build. For the best aerodynamics improvement always spray on two coats of gloss clear over any paint unless it's also a gloss coat. Then just one coat as the gloss clear will hide minor scratches. You'd be surprised how much flat paint increases drag on an airplane no matter what size it is.

[@Lozzie74]

It’s not that simple. Smooth, polished surfaces sure reduce friction drag but they can increase form drag. Golf balls aren’t smooth and polished for this reason. Turbulence can actually reduce drag.

[@SpartanChief17C]

Please make an F4 Phantom RC sometime soon!

[@siegmundschuster6404]

Hallo, ich drucke das Modell gerade, ich freue mich auf den ersten Flug. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.

[@phrancklynbillsonmc2581]

Happy halloweek ! ☺✌🎃

8:23 That T-shirt 🤣

[@jamesshepard1606]

Bi plane! My first R.C. aircraft was a Mark's Models Bi plane... Awesome job Guy's... Awesomeness!

[@ferce889]

Plane costs about $400 to make just the body if you start from nothing. $45 for the plans (We can somewhat remove that cost but only by dividing the cost by the number of times you print the plane)...Then $150 in filament because it comes by the KG so you need 3kg at $45 each. a printer is like $200 and then you need to learn how to get a print to come out proper so you're not wasting the expensive filament; so that's like $10 in cheap PLA test prints. If you only need filament and you know what you're doing, it will still cost about $100..... So yes its actually cheap! Plus now you can 3d print all manner of things. It is worth it for me as a person who likes to tweak, build, and make my own solutions for things

[@Conn653]

How about printing our and flying a T-50 Bobcat/Bamboo Bomber? Or, a 1956 era, Piper Apache?

[@charlesschneider7079]

How about the 3d Labprint B-25 with the working bomb bay doors. Might be an interesting project.

[@charlesrestivo870]

Nice printers !!!

[@litterbug4023]

Need some Sub-250g 3D printed planes!

[@krypton25b62]

That is what i meant. Testing it. I left it on the first time and it shut off. I thought that was recharging the battery. I am still looking into this. If the RC can come on again, great. FlySky transmitter and receiver.

[@ripmax333]

@2:36 very brave in doing that, Me... I wouldn't even dare on LW-PLA lol

[@Sickzero]

Awesome build, can't wait to get a 3d printer! And can we point out the sweet soundtrack of these videos? Especially David Cutter's track 'parts' let's me rock slightly back and forth as soon as I hear it!

[@gryfandjane]

I’m really impressed with this one! It looks terrific, and flies beautifully. Yet another reason to invest in a 3-D printer, methinks. ;-)

[@watest]

Wow

[@philbarrett3739]

Where's your hatch Josh? 😂

[@krypton25b62]

Very nice. I just made one of my own. But i'm still trying to figure out what happened to the RC and servos. It apparently shut off automatically the first time. So I made another airplane. It still isn't going. I use FlySky RC. They seem to be good. I don't think the servos can konk out by one use of me leaving it on. So that was it. Still on the work bench.

[@The-Red-Baron]

I can’t to see you guys in person because I can’t wait to start building a plane with you guys and flying it!

[@krypton25b62]

And I checked FlySky. The receiver 4 channel and 6 channel can go all the way to a little over 1/2 mile. 1000 meters in the air. So that is pretty long way out. In a park, shouldn't be more than 2 to 3 hundred yards tops. That is about 984 feet. Way less.

[@theimmortalhybrid6526]

i'd like to see you guys maybe build the P-38 in 3D printed because thats one of my most favorite war birds of all time

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great build guys, I looked at the link and sound great designs, think I need a new 3D printer thou 👍🏻

[@thewatersavior]

Thank you! I've got a 100x100 bed using the easythread x1. This is the most accessible 3D printer on the market. I am trying very hard to come up with a 3d printed model (and fully recyclable) for a 3s battery, receiver and I don't want to use ANY CA or hot glue (even exploring 3D printed joiners). Typing to avoid all foam - can use Tape, Cardboard (of any type), and Rubberbands are okay. Bonus points the only screws used to hold servos and motor. Bonus points for not using any wood or carbon for spars. What would you call this #challenge? I know there was the pizza plane - looking for something closer to this video :-) but minus the 125 hours of printing + glue 😃

[@38royer]

EXCELENTE

[@dutchloveRC]

so cool

Excellent💯

[@earlcowley3393]

Have you ever considered using bicycle spokes as alignment wires? They could be tightened post installation to provide additional strength.

[@iD3AD3YE]

Great Video. In response to what plane I would like to see next. Could you 3D print the Eclipson EBW-160 (The Blackwing) Delta wing. I am getting a 3D printer the holiday season and would love to see what the Eclipson Delta Wings Fly like. Keep up the great work FliteTest!!

[@alexandertaylor2951]

Y'all. I'm from the south now. Lots of woods and that. Wish I could do this around here. Almost every space around issurrounded by forest. I couldn't fly one. I'd lose it under tree line

[@aerospacematt9147]

It depends on the size of the “open areas”. I find fields that are 300 feet by 200-300 feet are perfect for 3-4s propeller aircraft. I fly in an area surrounded by trees, it’s not as hard as you’d think. You just need to be aware of where you are, and not fly aircraft that are outside the boundaries of the field you’re at.

[@alexandertaylor2951]

@@aerospacematt9147 yeah I have about that space to take off and land one. I'd need something lofty that really goes high up. Be able to keep an eye on it

[@jrbmxr2564]

You guys should make a big passenger plane like a beoing

[@Dazzbott]

Would love to see you build either the EGW-80 or EWW-180, in the both EDF and Prop versions.

Yeeeees a new video horaayyy

[@DMrobotricx]

Yeah

[@adrianfichardt9082]

Guys, great video, as always.

[@calvintaber6500]

You guy should make a ac130

[@Gunstick]

As 3D printer you need a CR30 for printing the long pieces in one single piece. And maybe a voron which is super fast, but tedious to assemble.

[@rattanaphonevongphakdy9547]

You should add air soft guns to the anti air cannons because it’s easier to hit and cool at the same time

Dude that makes me so fkn happy

[@DMrobotricx]

Yes man

[@greatgym2137]

Perfect work❤

[@JollyPirateAhoy]

I've learned to despise 3d printed planes. Nothing but bad luck with the warping from just sitting in my garage for a day or 2. Had one completely shrivel up. Was lpa they recommended as well

[@AmanSingh-qt9ss]

I wanna see what 3d pilot can do with this 🤩

[@starcobra2575]

Once again since i subscribed i never expect what you upload

[@borgonianevolution]

I know fishing line is strong but it also stretches a LOT specially in the warmer days of summer. I would think it would be hard to keep even tension over time and maybe allow for wing warp over its life span? Wouldn't there be a better option. Maybe hemp string impregnated with shellac or polyurethane?

[@ianbedwell4871]

Spectra low stretch is very strong

[@dancahill8555]

Make a 2" scale BFC-2 Goshawk.

what is the model of the Drone you guys use to chase your planes?

[@captainallermen]

Make a b17 with functional guns and some f16 and f35 and have a dog fight . Clash of generations !

Hey!, I wanna suggest you guys make a flying pancake so pls make one :D

[@craycle]

Awesome Plane and nice build video! I hope you will review our models in the near future. Kind regards.

[@rehepeks]

Instead of using normal fishing line try the braided stuff. A lot less strech under load so it should work even better.

[@manyterrapin]

I subscribed to your channel

[@paleogeology9554]

Hit me up if you guys need help, our print farm has some really awesome printers that would be awesome for planes and drones, we can print super strong carbon fibers and nylon 6 nylon 66 ect... that would be perfect for this hobby

[@timbucktooth162]

cool

[@raven_fpv]

These 3D printed planes are cool and all and you've been using light weight PLA a lot but the website you buy from isn't in the USA. Most of us viewers can't afford the high shipping prices and waiting a long time for delivery. Is there anywhere in the USA that has and sells LWPLA?? If so, please let us know! Great video btw!

[@diogoantoniogranadorodrigu8061]

Hi, congratulations on the channel! Could you answer a question for me, what is this runway material?

[@rwilson1gmail]

Print the MXS-R next. It looks like it will fly super fast.

[@theu.s.militaryshort905]

They should make the F4 phantom or the F 35 or f-15
