challenge

I just burned a battery on an FPV quad just walking around my back yard while watching myself through the Fatsharks. If you are an FPV flyer you probably already know the weirdness of seeing yourself through the goggles. Catching a glimpse of some person just sitting there wearing Fatsharks is...

It seems this challenge/request has been lingering around for a while in various parts of the Internet: How can a relative newbie to the hobby upgrade the Delta Ray so that it has more power and a longer flight time, without giving up SAFE or doing some complex overhaul? This has been...

The Antonov An-225 Mriya, the largest plane in the world(length). I would really like to see a foamie version. As of yet, this plane has never been made into an rc version, as far as I could find. It might be due to its immense size, but I callenge you guys at flight test to make one. I t is...

I think the Flitetest crew could fly this well before NASA does. http://www.gizmag.com/rotating-bi-directional-flying-wing-design/23982/ Regards, Brent

I am enjoying all of the Flite Test videos on youtube. Inside the cockpit, getting behind the plane is a bad thing. Inexperienced RC fliers like myself want to stay ahead of the aircraft until we ease into flying a little faster and getting comfortable. So here is the challenge: Create...

4 guys and 1 quadcopter! each guy have "own" motor to control! ;)

Hey Flite Test, love your show When I was watching your 2014 Horizon Indoor video I laughed at the part of the two planes attached to each other. But that got me thinking, I know during WWII we used tow planes effectively but what if you had more and more planes to tow? Could you make...

Hey guys =D As we all know, David Windestål loves planes, and he has an affinity to bring things to the edge until nothing is left. It has been so with the rocketplane he destroyed with a f-rocket he glued into this. Today I've seen a Video about selfmade candyrockets, and I assume that this...

I was looking at the Kracken and thought about how easy it would be to mount ducted fans on top of the wing. Then I thought about what else you could mount ducted fans on (Versa, obviously, but also the Cruiser, maybe). How many designs can you throw ducted fans on? Also, I have ordered the...

I have puttered around trying to use the Flite Test foamboard technology to come up with a discus launch glider, but haven't had much (well, any) success. Have you guys thought about that? I have built and modified several Simple Soarers (love that plane) and I keep thinking there ought to be...

hey guys first off i really enjoy your show and love the challenges and all the other things you have already done. be looking for my order for a electrohub coming soon as FPV is something i have been wanting to get into for sometime but didnt know how to go about it until i found your channel...

Hey guys, hope all is well with you. As for im fully recovered & im back to working. scratchbuilding has taken over this wonderful hobby & its a good thing because people are actually getting to learn the physics of life & each day getting more & more inspired. However i feel we are focusing...

My first forum post here. Hope I obeyed all the etiquette. :P Just finished my first scratch build, a 4channel mix of a 300s and a Mustang. Still dialing in the CG. Used lots of tips and tricks from here! So thanks all for the inspiration! But it got me thinking, how cool would it be to have a...

I have been thinking, so there are lot's of FPV airplanes, and there are a couple of planes capable of carrying cargo, so what about combining them and making a practical airplane? The goal: To create an airplane, big or small, that includes long range FPV, a good battery and a cargo hold with...

Hello, my name is Charlie, (Charlie123 is my forum name here, as you can see). I am challenging those who see this challenge, to drop a large number of Badminton birdies from a plane, and then do one or more of the following (pick one or more): (Note): Any of the things below can be partially...

Hey i love ww2 planes and saw a German plane that had one pusher and one puller prop. counter rotating to counter act the spin. this made the plane extremely fast. I'm wondering if you could design a plane that uses that same Technic to achieve extreme speed.

I Would Like to see the cast of FT Have a scratch built dual rotor Plane Battle in which they can only spend $50 bucks on each plane. Rules 01. In that $50 bucks, they should buy - Foam, Servos, 2motors, esc's, e.t.c 02. Plane must Have a minimum of 100cm wing span. 03. Plane must be Ground...

I think Flite Test should accept Hobby King's challenge for Joe Nall: attempt to land and launch a plane from the deck of an RC Aircraft Carrier that Hobby King is going to bring to Joe Nall. They should use ether an existing design or one specifically designed for this challenge. Of course...

I think that a cool challenge would be if one of you flew a large, delicate balsa wood plane while everyone else flew Piper Champs repeatedly ramming it with the intent to knock it out of the sky.

Would it be possible to have an episode on popular micro quadcopters? I know you just did the nano qx challenge, but If you did this could it be more like a competition, a "Mini Micro Nano Quadcopter Challenge" so to say, like the easiest to learn on, the the quickest, the most indestructible...
