    Flite Fest 2024 NGAD combat challenge.

    I saw some of the rederings for the NGAD(next generation air dominance) program. I thought, that a plane like that could do some damage in FF combat. So I decided to see what the FT community could come up with. This is not a contest because there is no winner. The goal of these planes is to...

    Ready for combat and loaded for bear

    After watching the FT Battleship episode with the warbirds dropping bombs, I decided there wasn't enough good (somewhat realistic) bomb drops. I began designing these, and I'm pretty close to the final product. It prints in three pieces, snaps together, and uses one 9g servo. It also has built...

    Hey FliteTesters: My two sons and I have attended the last two FliteFests and had a blast. This year we want to try our hands at the Combats. Are there any published rules? We have a couple ideas to make our planes more durable and longer flying and some super secret plans too. Any thoughts...

    Combat Fighters

    I thought I would share a design I updated and enlarged, I found this design by DZ1SFB on RcGroups.com 2010. I built the fuselage wider to house a 3s battery and all of the radio gear. I designed a built up 42" wing, added a combat hook in the rear. I am using an Emax Motor 1500kv. It has more...

    Bloody Barons before and after FFE17

    My son and I both agreed that we had the most fun at FFE17 doing combat. There's just so much peer pressure to combat anything made of foam board! So our beloved Bloody Barons met their fate. They were our second ever FT scratch build. The Bloody Wonder being the first. We enjoyed flying them...

    Mini FliteFest New England April 2016 Edition

    April 9, 2016 - Holden MA In eager anticipation of flying weather, a pack of FT fans gathered to Fun Fly and Combat. The best part was the great time and smiles. I took a few photos - Ken probably took 100’s of photos. I’m hoping he can share the best of the lot. Thanks to all the...

    Fight Test with Flitetest

    You should have an episode where everyone in the shop has to design and build their own plane that can fly a boxing glove. They can add any secret weapon of their choice on their plane that is no more dangerous than the plane itself (a.k.a. no explosives peter). They should have a time limit...

    FT Versa Wing battery question

    Hi everyone, I am almost done building my FT Versa Wing and the battery I am using is a Kinexis 3200mah 3s 30c, and when I cut out the hatch in the front for it and test fit the battery, I found out that the battery sticks out about 3/8th to 4/8th inches and my question is because this is a...

    FT Bloody Wonder Weight Question

    Hi everyone, I am going to scratch build a Bloody Wonder out of Dollar Tree Foamboard, and I am wondering if covering the entire plane in packing tape or extreme packing tape so I could do combat would add too much weight? I will be using Flite Test's Power Pack C with a 3S 2200mah lipo.
