Worlds Longest Airplane - Record Holder

Get Full feature custom PCB prototyping , CNC machining and 3D print services plus much more with our PCB partner PCBWAY: bit.ly/PCBWAY22
‪@PeterSripol‬ never disappoints. In past years Peter set multiple records for the widest RC Airplane, the most motors on a single airframe, and so many more. Well this year at Flite Fest 2023 he went out to set the record for the longest airplane ever. He started with a 15 foot aircraft and then added onto it to make it more than 30 feet long! after having success he put it into combat were more than 100 airplanes took to the sky with one mission, TO TAKE PETER DOWN! Peter lasted longer than anyone expected, even with losing wings, and control surfaces. Peter ended up crashing in an epic way after being torn apart in the sky. Huge thanks to Peter and all the volunteers that helped him make this possible

Peter has probably inspired so many kids to get into RC with all of his different projects. He's definitely one of the GOATs in RC

[@nuarius]

I love peter because this isnt just something he does for this event, he goes full mad scientist in most of his projects lol

[@WeekendFPV9876]

He literally is the one that got me into the hobby

[@kwaaaa]

Peter is such a huge influence in the hobby. You guys put the limelight early on just the right guy to get his own content taking off.

[@whatsthematter8767]

4:42 has got to be the cleanest transition I've ever seen, gotta love the videos you make guys!

[@rbwannasee]

Ever seen the movie Razorback from 1984? It has quite a few transitions using an edge of an object like that. It's often regarded as a well produced movie (especially cinematography), if a bit weak on plot however. Worth checking out.

[@eddrm4685]

That is AWESOME!!! It's GREAT that Peter has the kids help build it!

[@kkuenzel56]

Peter should be a regular on Flitetest again! All those in favor say aye! Flitetest is and has been my favorite KZbin channel!

[@stephenhudson8739]

I can't believe how well that thing flew that it even flew in the first place well-done Peter

[@chriviper]

It is so awesome to see Peter back on a Flitetest video!

[@Arbi5577]

The transition at 4:42 was butter.

[@politicsuncensored5617]

Watching and listening to Peter, plus all the other guys is addictive. Everyone is having so much fun in building wild fun RC planes. I was always into RC warships, but never tried the planes. I wish your event was near Florida as I would love to come out and watch. I loved the camper that Peter built or rebuilt. Watch that video if you have not. PJ

[@CraigLYoung]

Good to see Peter again! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

What an epic event! Go Peter go! This year the main event was pretty easy, but it's seeing that huge, long plane and all the others combatting it... totally a sight to see! Everyone would love to be there. Maybe one day... Until then, thanks so much for sharing these awesome events online.

[@moerukaze5464]

Reminds me vaguely of those Hayao Miyazaki aircraft in his films

[@reyadv160]

Peter is a super scientist...Hope Peter will be back again in Flite Test.. He's a mad genius

[@DustinBlaise]

Absolute crazy build. Would love to take photos of these contraptions in flight. Hope to do that someday.

[@alewers3326]

Like a train but not on tracks.... That sounds like a Challenge Peter would take on.

[@adityakrishna4101]

What an awesome make and the flight was surprisingly amazing!! I would love to be at this event! There would be just so much to learn and it be really really fun for sure... ☺

[@nicolekent1819]

Nice

[@LCAviator26]

Thanks for highlighting my ugly smile at 14:16. Best year yet! Can’t wait to see the recap. There better be some Blue Angel footage in there.

[@skippyfpvexperimentalrc6755]

Any video with Peter is a great video

[@michaelrechtin]

So crazy to see in person! Can’t wait till next year

[@dutchloveRC]

another great video guys!

[@richb313]

Any video with Peter is a good one.

[@shabo857]

This was just awesome. Wish I could give it more then just a thumbs up. Thanks for this event and for sharing this video.

[@cyletra6975]

That was absolutely glorious at the end there. Super cool to see that behemoth easing along with all those pesky little planes buzzing around. Great job!!!!

[@theelement_craft3132]

i love this chanel its so cool!

[@scottcates]

Excellent

[@gaius_enceladus]

I *loved* the "flying hoop" plane! I really hope you'll do another one of those! It flew quite well and had *excellent* stability (not surprisingly).

[@jman414999]

you guys and Peter are both great keep up the fun and great designs

[@eastoforion]

it has such incredible flight characteristics xD love it

[@MC91B]

BRAVO!

[@MrCubflyer]

what an excellent vid.

[@WindCatcherRC]

@PeterSripol Never disappoints with crazy designs for Flite Fest. Thank you for another entertaining design. Another one for the record books that people will be talking about for years.

[@timpandy5920]

Guess I pick the right time to be behind Peter and josh

[@walk4718]

You are blessed, Josh Bixler, and you definitely pass it along👍👍👏👏

[@zloyfet]

I'm actually curious how does having so much people controlling their models doesnt cause that much of interference

[@jamesfieweger8648]

2.4 GHz has so many channels that interference is very rare. 72 mhz was what came before 2.4 and it had a limited number of channels associated with it. That system had the chance to get interference from literally any radio signal. 2.4 is the same as WiFi as well so it’s very reliable.

[@CricketyChris]

Look up "spread spectrum technology"

[@onebladeprop]

It actually does. Frequency hopping works really well but occasionally they step on each other. I experienced some brief lockouts during combat at flite fest this year.

[@infinateexpress3321]

I’m Curious how you keep track of your own plane

[@onebladeprop]

@@infinateexpress3321 try to make it look unique with different colors or patterns. I used a streamer a few times which made it really easy since there were only a few with streamers. Also everyone is supposed to have a spotter with them.

[@Zytron]

I'm a mobile app developer and I've been wanting to make my own RC logbook but I never got to it. When I heard your app has that in it along with other amazing features, I downloaded the app before that portion of the video was over. Saved me some programming!

[@jimthvac100]

That looks like it was a lot of fun.

[@CornellRX]

WOW! That was a nice Long Fuselage flight project !

[@user-iz5fk1ug6d]

I love watching the plane keep flying even after it loses a wing and one is badly damaged

[@christopherch7307]

That long asssss plane actually leveled out. 👍😎👍

[@IroncladTactical]

What in the world is that chaser drone? Are the armed elevated like a Dji inspire?

[@stripycrocodile]

I wonder if you could put a runway on the top of something like that and have planes land on it while it is in the air. Not finished the video yet but I hope this is where it goes :)

[@Bob_Adkins]

That plane actually scales pretty well and could work full-scale. At altitude on long flights 1 or 2 pairs of wings could fold for efficiency. The short wingspan could help on crosswind landings. The elevator could easily be computer-controlled to maintain attitude whether the CG is good or a little unbalanced.

[@Horus2Osiris]

Peter Rocks!lifelong Sripol subscriber

[@totallyleftfield]

I just Gave you your 1000TH LIKE ! Awesome =) Cheers!

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

Always great videos ❤️. You continue to amaze me in what dream up 🤣. This Old Man from Washington NC been following y'all since almost day one video. Love you Guys ✈️🧔💝

[@douglasthecorgi2568]

That plane reminded me of a train too! I’d love to see if you guys could build an articulated steam train with passenger cars and a maybe a caboose, with wings on each section, props attached to the locomotive, and the tail surfaces on the last car / caboose. Bonus points if smoke comes out of the smokestack. This could be a great Christmas project if you were to model it off of the Polar Express. ^^

[@daviddavid5880]

Epic

[@kenziecreation]

Yang saya suka dari Flite Test adalah ketika berkolaborasi dengan Peter Sripol. Kerja sama yang bagus dan unik 👍✈️

[@cal-native]

Caproni would have been proud!😝👍😉

[@mari_023]

Flite Fest 2050: we built a 1:1 scale model of the Airbus BelugaXL

[@michaelappel9421]

Brilliant Peter ! So ... next year build a long plane which can separate into two or three separate planes in mid-air and continue flying ? Could THAT be done ? 🙂

[@ultrakool]

I wanna see a replica spruce goose fly

[@DtWolfwood]

The lengthening!

[@Kage129]

Sky train ❤🎉

[@shredharddownhill]

I was there it was crazy had fun thanks guys 🛬

[@calvarycustoms6681]

NEW FT APP?!? You had me at “Disable” and “Google”.

[@microbuilder]

The way the fuselage sways reminds of those toy snakes made of a bunch of hinged body sections where you hold/move the tail and the snake looks like its moving...that would make for a pretty interesting RC plane project...RC flying snake?

[@TheBigburcie]

Or a Chinese dragon like you see in dance troupes.

[@microbuilder]

@@TheBigburcie Yes indeed!

[@stephen1711]

I enjoyed FliteFest as a volunteer when we did it here near Austin. Have you got any interest in doing it again in Texas?

[@DSAK55]

Dayum!!!

[@gimbleworm1]

I love it... Canard-erons... only peter could make a plane with actual front end torque... :)

[@enriquekramer4590]

Really great plane! Question: The Flite Test App is not available in my country in South America. When will it become available down here? Thanks!

[@tandr3w]

Next, I would really like to see the jetsons car ( from the cartoon) fly. Maybe use a quadcopter? Also make a George Jetson and family figures to fit inside. It would be even funnier if the whole thing could fit inside a breifcase.

[@mikeupton5406]

Can just imagine DARPA or NASA taking notes on Peter's plane. This one really reminded me of a Gerry Anderson model that could really do stuff. Thunder Birds etc.

[@LordRidler]

PETER HAS THE LONGEST!!! xD

[@EJ-74]

LET'S GO 🔥

[@user-oq1kx7rw8t]

I think you should make a green goblin RC glider I would love to see that in an airplane derby 😊

[@LoganKaval]

How did you find cg with so mny wings

[@didierneeferc]

Will the app be available in Europe/the Netherlands too?

[@jaxuk6964]

That was awsome :) I tried to get app but says not available for any device, i have a oukitel wp5.

[@xXxmasenxXx]

i wish i could get to flitefest at least one time. but its no cheap to get from sweden to usa

[@markodonoghue9526]

App not available in Australia!!

[@BeeblebroxZaph]

Sadly new app is not on the Apple Store in the UK. Will it be coming soon?

[@andreassittig2772]

Peter, please tell us where you put the center of gravity (CG). Thanks!

[@wettie1000]

Really reminded me of Zero X from the thunderbirds are go movie

[@kevyy_k8444]

PETER!!!!!!

[@mayinjabob9380]

Ramy Rc should definetly make an airliner version

[@ChrisGWGreen]

“Hurry up” guy can bugger off

[@quietjohn5523]

it went down looking like a falling telephone pole

[@ClintHackney]

Where and when is Flight Fest?

[@shrewsburyboy2]

Talk about an air bus lol that's impressive lol

[@JetSet523]

Where is this? I am in the UK but I would love to go? Is there multiple or just one?

[@uptake2]

Just to say, the app doesn’t appear to be available in the UK currently! 😃👍🏼

[@SouthAfricanWanderer]

The shape of the plane and it’s movement made me think of a Chinese dragon! Maybe the next project

[@rickburnout666]

The app is not showing up on my android ? Is there a link?

[@GunnyArtG]

Ever coming back to Texas?

[@charless2867]

OMG that was best, last year a second best.

[@annihilator_ron7691]

just wondering.. are there any rules/limitations on the rc planes that visitors can fly? as in, are only electric propellers allowed, or are combustion engines and jets fair game? and in the combat event, a plane using the ram strategy could have a steel tipped and reinforced nose for penetration and durability? very curious about any would-be ruleset

[@John-tu4zd]

Can you guys do a lost in space spaceship nice size one would be cool

[@NoGreedSeeds]

The US Air Force is now in contract with Peter to create the worlds largest flying semi! 🎉

[@carolproulx1884]

Long boi

[@NoGreedSeeds]

I’m shocked at the high number of views, and the low number of likes. Get with the program people!

[@EJ-74]

Next year I want to see the longest wing span and largest fuselage - biggest RC plane in the would 😁 Imo the easiest way to do it is buy a big ultralight and make it RC 🤔

[@trey1448]

I wish the Rv12 would have made it up there! Darn loose prop!

[@my_dear_friend_]

Is it longer than that 33feet long RC Concorde?

[@psychosis7325]

How did that fly so well? 🤯

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Girthiest plane next?

[@BlockCylinder]

Can u guys make like small reaper drone replika ?? I love how it looks , like predator drone ....
