challenge

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I'm hoping to source some input and suggestions on my ideas for an upcoming indoor flying challenge in my uni class. The challenge is to build a foamie that can fly within the constraints of an indoor basketball court, with a takeoff then a...

Im going to enter this russian flying boat. I choose it because I once flew it in a simulator and immedeately fell in love with it. Its quite the intresting design, because its a low wing, something you usually dont see on flying boats. Its also general aviation, twin engine and amphibic, all...

FTFC21 - Flite Test Forum Community 2021 - Seaplane Design & Build Challenge Simple - Design & Build a Seaplane, and fly it off a waterbody! [Reserved for Challenge Logo] Summary: Participants will design and build an electric motor driven, radio-controlled mostly Foamboard Seaplane model...

I was just thinking about how FT did a recycling plane challenge. Would anyone want to take part in one? I'll post the rules once I have at least 10 people to participate.

This should be an interesting build off to see what is possible with foam board. Personally, I find 3d and XA to be very fun, but extremely expensive. Even a ~50" airframe can run you up to 200$- not including electronics. Wouldn't it be great if we could build our own airframes for less than...

Here's the link to the post made on live.warthunder.com. https://live.warthunder.com/post/891786/en/ That should speak for itself. In case the post gets lost, here's the image.

Hello! I have a team at school that competes in an aero design competition every year. This year our aircraft had some trouble as once it was off the ground it yawed hard and crashed. I would love any feedback as to why the plane reacted as it did. If you have any questions please let me know...

Here's the deal: I witnessed a black 'fridge box (I believe!) fly sideways past my 20th story window, then over Chicago's crowded North Avenue Beach bar, Castaways, in 2014 (before disappearing over Lake Michigan). How hard would this have been to fake with a drone? Back up your opinion by...

My entry into this challenge will be a Spad XIII. The initial plans call for a 30in wingspan, and that's what I am going to be doing initially. However I do plan on scaling it up to near a 40in wingspan in line with Ben's PT-17. I usually design a lot of EDFs, so it will be fun to do something...

FTFC19 - April Showers Challenge Simple - Build a Waterproof Plane and Fly in the Rain! (or on a waterbody) OFFICIAL RULES: Make a Build log that contains the following: ( Plane name (10 pts) plans link (5 pts) statement of why you chose it (5 pts) stats (5 pts) build log - (40 pts)...

Ok, Lets get this going. My build skill: 3 Flite skillz: 1 This will be four aircraft plus one extra if I have the time. FT Mighty mini scout for @mayan's contest (I technically haven't finished it yet ;)). FTFC Jackal. Build thread. FTFC X-44. Build Thread. FT Mighty Mini Vector...

The Challenge: Fly any aircraft frame or custom build one, using a single motor of any type, but powering 2 or more props NOT on the same axis (ie contra rotation, in-line, etc...). You can have multiple motors but each must power their own sets or props. Gearing, belt or other method is...

I have an interesting and VERY unique challenge for the FT crew! It is something the I have attempted and very nearly successfully accomplished with my good friend. Without giving away too many details here, I would like to hear from a mod to see if there is interest and let you decide how to...

Please reprise the Flight Test Glider Golf episode with some update for longer range drives with your new Golf Coarse. Maybe an FTV long rang lawn dart approach with other than gliders. You already have the holes set up.

I have a suggestion for a building challenge where you have to build a free flight glider that is launched in the discus style and here is the trick you have to design a mechanical stabilization system that will keep the plane flying level ex. A weighted pendulum that moves the elevator to keep...

Im sure some of you remember the poorly photo shopped slow flying plane, Im challenging elite test to built this plane with the small wings and twin engine and see if it actually takes flite!

Here are some suggestions for new FT models / Show builds - C-130 Lets face it, who wouldn't want one of these in their collection. Any Canard type, couple of samples here - Better still... Make it a 'Swapable' (glider & powered) And this is just as much a 'challenge' to the guys as it is...

Here's the game: Get 5-6 planes/quads/parachuts setup to fly with FPV gear. Have a couple FliteTest "experts" don FPV goggles. Hand them a tranitter and see if they can "Name that Plane" by flying it. Go through all the planes and see who gets the most.

Alright, i was watching one of your videos from four years ago, and i had an idea. have a competition on building an airplane (swappable or something) through a board cam. like blindfolded by wearing fatsharks, and only able to look at what you are doing via the board cam. then have the airplane...

After constantly trying to cram my larger planes in the car without damaging them, building transforming objects with Legos, and seeing the folding wings on Peter's javelin video, I had this idea for one of your episodes to feature a fixed wing "backpack plane". Perhaps something fairly large...
