Unicycle Landing Gear Plane!

[@randomdancing8719]

A bunch of grown men , having the time of there lives, doing what they want , love it

[@SQU1RT5]

Meeting the two of you at the first FFS will have always been one of my greatest moments in life.

[@garrykennedy5484]

So many smiles and laughs are made because Flite Test exists. Thanks Josh and the gang for all you do. Just wish I could be there.

[@EnderMalcolm]

DEVELOP IT. THE CROWD COMMANDS IT.

[@Dudeman9339]

I second this loco motion!

[@FliteTest]

😉

[@Redneck5]

Me three!!

[@cflchurch2526]

Globulation is key!

[@youmakeitreal]

You guys never fail to peg the fun meter! Proud to be a founder!

[@joshuamelvin]

youmakeitreal thank you brother! You made a big dream a reality. :)

[@EpicProvider]

Stefan's laugh makes my day

[@FliteTest]

NavalNation ha thanks buddy ;) -stefan

[@aidangeist3106]

NavalNation sounds like Tom Hanks' laugh.

[@spartan3299]

Tri-Quad!!!! FT270 with a tiny shocked steerable tricycle gear F22 style for those rough carrier landings! or a Tail wheel with just the right friction and limited rotation!

[@0150r]

Single wheel sparrow is a wheel barrow?

[@danielweppler8016]

0150r NOO!!! Sparrow + Wheel Barrow = The Sparrow Barrow!!!

[@dustinmalone121]

Wheel Sparrow?

[@josephboehlke6368]

if I want to use it, can I borrow your sparrow-barrow?

[@sidewinder15599]

Well now they need to make a wheelbarrow fly!

[@Darth_RevRen]

I fully endorse the development of the unisparrow

[@nlwitmer812]

I'm new to rc planes and I was wondering if I could have your "puffed" batteries. Thanks!

[@Kyo-bd4tw]

Make the unicycle landing gear an item for your swappable's in your store!

[@plowboyh6054]

you two are nuts and I love it!!

[@Femmpaws]

Nuts? No, I don't think so... Demented and twisted would be closer to it... Like you I love it!

[@davesfpv]

"Unicycle its like a tricycle but One", That made me Laugh :)

[@crabbyolmondays2747]

Can you make a unicycle fly? What about a lawnmower? That would be really cool to see.

[@mlguad]

Make no mistakes....you guys are talented engineers and designers. Thank you for making this hobby accessible and easy to enter. You guys are the best!

[@rcbif101]

Aside from the obvious sailplanes, the Europa XS is a full-size powered aircraft that has monowheel landing gear.

[@1996Blue]

You guys should fully develop it because that would be amazing!

[@holemajora598]

Unicycle landing gear “I’d buy that for a dollar”

[@sillydronevalley539]

Wow that's what we want ! #unicycleforever alex ! R.I.P. bixler :')

[@Morpheus852]

What about a UNI-corn plane? :p

[@StickyTank]

i actually really like that design xD

[@rodrigo_dm]

0:11 my new ringtone. hahaha ha haha ha!

[@jamesdeklerk2120]

Just listen to it at about 1.5x speed, its awesome

[@josephboehlke6368]

I sat there clicking over and over... I might to use it.

[@ultrakool]

mine is :49

[@ultrakool]

[@AeroCraftAviation]

Unicycle landing gear is basically every sailplane ever.

[@Jakefrc]

Gliders use a bicycle style landing gear down the centre similar to the unicycle design and it works quite well.

[@younghex9577]

5:12 "I did it!" Haha was all proud. He did it!

[@victorrisk6098]

Loving the unicycle concept! Try it on other planes

[@chriscrawford1958]

If the goal in life is having fun, you guys win! Do you have to remind yourself to breath when you’re flying like that, cause I found myself holding my breath just watching!

[@chadhiggins8397]

5:02 Got your nose!

[@AA_thedestroyer]

They are basically children with beards planes and expendable parts

[@originofeverythingeventually]

Alex solving problems that Josh didn't know he had. Hahaha

[@jamesdavidson8278]

Great ringer at the end right around the pole! Horseshoes and Hand Grenades I'd say that was a horseshoe!

[@peterryseck]

These guys are just little too enthusiastic lol

[@currdog44]

I think I pulled a muscle laughing at that vid! YES

[@rcplanesjohnreap2777]

Easy U/C method.. hot glue a CF rod axle to the bottom then add a couple of spacers so the wheels dont rub against the sides.. and use a light weight wheel on both sides..put the wheels well to the front on the body to stop the nose tipping forward.. cutting into the fuzz just looses the available internal space for your gear

[@sciggler2880]

These guys are always having too much fun, 😀

[@PixelFPV]

Alex needs more expo on his quads. It's like watching someone fly on a CC3D flight controller.

[@brianward7550]

What I really wanted to see was Josh's reaction when he came back from his meeting

[@iscluiscaduk]

I did this to my FT Versa but using cable channel, but only used it for landings because there’s no grass for landing rc planes here. Cable channel helped me with CoG and as a lipo compartment. Very well protected too.

[@josephboehlke6368]

you guys continue the project, and make a flying wheel, that would be a cool thing to add to your make it fly list.

[@MxMattyB]

Motorize the wheel and make it self balancing

[@thecreaturefpv9295]

This is why I love flite test!

[@rubengalindo2616]

Both of you guys together are hilarious!

[@bermuge1]

We need a full-on build video by Alex in the Alex-style. Would be hilarious

[@collingardiner7647]

FLITE TEST! PLEASE BRING BACK THE DART AND THE TWIN SPARROW! THEY ARE AWESOME!

[@rcbif101]

"Monowheel" is the word you are looking for. A unicycle is something a clown rides ;P

[@paulvonrentzell5189]

Laughter and high jinks develop that sucker!

[@David-hm3lx]

Looks a bit like the the landinggear of the harrier!

[@qturn4726]

Wow its really superb plane......nice flight

[@frontleverguy2216]

What is the range on the race drone

[@Seanix197]

You guys have way too much fun for work!

[@benjaminhawkins9844]

I would love to see a plane where you can alter the configuration of the wings in flight. ie with a pivot in the middle you could go from a flat straight wing to one with dyhedral, or you could go laterally and go from flat and straight wing to flat and swept forward or back. Would be cool to play with and see the effects on glide slope verses acrobatics... love your channel by the way.. keep it up.

[@k6lsn]

Thanks for AB workout guys!!! :)

[@ruthymurphy9375]

I want to see the one you build from the concept, first time i have heard of the flyable plane unattended rule??

[@rmdcade1717]

You goofy sons of guns. I love this so much. Alex, the kitbash bug bit you hard, it seems. I can't wait to see what Stefan goads you into next.

[@rcbinchicken]

My first homemade prop-in-slot parkjet had this same undercarriage layout (single wheel under the CG plus two balance skids.) Honestly it works fine! Great to see these two goofs having such fun with it either way. :D

[@jonathanperry3562]

More boneyard challenge stuff :)

[@dustinhanlin]

Great content. I love seeing you guys having so much fun!

[@BlackWolf18C]

Can you make a Ninebot One fly? It's 25lbs, but that was never something to stop you guys in the past. Self-balancing unicycle landing gear.

[@Toaster808]

It's like the U2 with its wing pogos.

[@MichaelNelsonYT]

YES...

[@markcnc]

I would say develop the idea, once you are actually landing on it that is. Also remember, 99.9% of gliders have this concept kind of taken, yes there is a small wheel in the back, but, well they at least land on it as opposed to landing on the nose, or prop, or ...

[@ByeJon]

Why aren’t these labeled as “VLOG” anymore? I look forward to these the most and now they’re tougher to pick out. You two are fun to watch 😂

[@spartan3299]

Come on November and FliteFest South!

[@Nolongerhere410]

touch/bump and goes off The Pavilions, that sounds cool ;)

[@blandoon]

wonder if one wheel + skids would be worth a try on the FT Dart...?

[@honey5bucket]

Belly wheel and pogos have been used on sailplanes and gliders for over 50 years.

[@loose_unit]

So awesome ! Develop it!

[@odinnfpv8238]

DEVELOP, dang thats awsome

[@stump182]

I wish you guys would go out and have fun. Just once in awhile.

[@bepowerification]

its so obvious the wheel has to be more in the front.. its kind of in line with the rods which makes it tip over. but nice video! or put the rods to the tail, Y-style.

[@Casp3r.aka.Droid.]

Yeah the real Chumlee of flight test

[@RedDestroyer4]

You had me laughing

[@Drive_On]

needs 3 more wheels...

[@jordanlynch8687]

Drive On make a car into a airplane or drop a car out of a air plane sub to my u tube channel Flying Debris

[@Random-vg5uq]

Attempt the Me-163 Komet’s landing gear, it’s unique!

[@SachinDevkota]

Oh awesome flight

[@air-headedaviator1805]

If I ever swing by I remember to leave all my planes that I bring half built.

[@tylergray9684]

0:10 lol the laugh reminds me of Looney tunes. You guys should make an rc airplane that drags the snow.

[@danielbaird3632]

You should have 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 subs

[@MichaelNelsonYT]

totally this is top-notch top gun Rc aviators!!! :)

[@FliteTest]

Aww shucks guys! 😊

[@mikej8940]

now we need a british mosquito twin engine or a 4 engine lancaster warbirds with those 1106 motors

[@MoiraOBrien]

You are all certifiably MAD LMAO. Definitely should be developed 😉

[@Guy_6397]

You guys should make a U2 Spy plane out of foam with a unicycle landing gear! It would be 'mazeballs. P.S. I like the way you landed there, efficient use of the pole.

[@christopher.m.estelow]

I want to come work with you guys... They say if you love what you do you don't work a day in your life.

[@willowrabbit]

one wheel seems cool

[@spartan3299]

Multi-rotor Retracts! Brakes...no its got Rotor airbrake.

[@MichaelNelsonYT]

you guys should totally modify it; and also get bixlers reaction to it with a shark nose or something... That would be legit modernization mixed with clowns mixed with unicorns... Awesome vids guys!!! This is top notch stuff... #notificationsquad

[@spacemonster505]

Don't most gliders use one wheel to be towed?

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

Punt. Lmao XD

[@modernflight3601]

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT IS A GO

[@KenKneknaneek]

omg, I laughed so hard i almost peed myself!! What a flight! That wind was high too and it actually flew pretty good. Would be really good if you put the nose back on ! ha ha ha ha ha Happy flying .. lmao !!

[@wilgarcia1]

@ 6:26 was that a 3 foot takeoff? Surprise STOL Aircraft =P

[@c.amiller9569]

You guys crack me up for years

[@JustinRexFoell]

How does the twin sparrow fly? I had to add a *ton* of nose weight to my pusher. Would love to get slow speeds back 😁

[@MCsCreations]

😂😂😂😂 Too much wind, guys! 😂

[@dadeoof4255]

Neverto mich wind jist add power or fly backwards

[@sciencetechfreakers3777]

Either the plane is crazy or the guys are crazy

[@123legomaker1]

Loving all the new planes, keep em coming!

[@alexyt4434]

Did you update the Sparrows nose? Looks removable now

[@ianthomas3653]

I feel like the new FT location should have a row of flag poles and a dirt pile just to pay homage to this location. I would say radio tower too, but....

[@Lagggerengineering]

0:13 KICK DA BASTARD! LOL

[@sethgcullen]

0:11 little laughing tune

[@mikercflyer7383]

A riot 😂

[@lukasmakessomething7322]

Cmike is the nicest dude
