competition

A few weeks ago, four RC enthusiasts had the idea of organizing a community build contest. Thanks to Sam from The Hangar RC, the winners will recieve a laser cut kit of their design! We would love to see YOU joining this epic contest! You like to build airplanes and always dreamed about...

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...

Hello guys, I need to build a foamboard chuck glider, for the longest distance for a competition in school with 40cm2 to 1m2 (16 inch to 1 ft) I can only use: foamboard tape cold glue( I know it sucks) Little model sticks My view on this is to build a large wingspan for a better glide ratio...

I thought I would leave here this link with the video I made from an event we organized with our rc club: https://amodeldo.blogspot.com/2018/06/coupe-interclubs-la-video.html I tried to mix footage from my gopro on my quad (I flew the thing), a gopro on the ground on the obstacles, and some...

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...

I would love to see an episode of FT wherein they set up a competition between a professional, full-scale helicopter pilot and a professional fixed-wing pilot. FPV Versacopter vs FT Arrow, neither pilot has any RC experience at all.

Howdy folks. When summer rolls in and the weather gets nice (as it is now) it's the perfect time to hone your flying skills. This also means it's prime time for a contest as the younger members of FT are out of school and nights are long enough to get flights in if you work during the day. This...

On Friday May 20th, the New Jersey Drone User Group is running the first annual Propeller FPV competition at Pier A on the Hudson River in Hoboken, New Jersey. This event will be part of the Propeller Festival full day (9am to 10pm) Technology meets Music Experience culminating in an on stage...

Hey gang, It's competition time again. we're giving away a TBRC Reflex38 wing to one lucky person. All you have to do to enter is go to this link, comment on this photo and tag your friend in your comment and you're automatically entered into the draw...

Most of my RC interests these days stem from multirotors, but my early days in the hobby involved planes. I have built and flown numerous foam board planes. Never have I done a detailed scale build. I have wanted to fly an F6F Hellcat for a while now as it is the plane my grandfather flew in...

Show idea that I would love to see: Competition: Who can make the most outrageous flying machine that successfully flies? Points could be awarded for: Style - Completely subjective, but you Flitetest guys are all about style. You've got this idea nailed. Asymmetry - Our aircraft almost always...

They would have a build challenge with homemade frame and handpicked parts. They would then put A GPS module and record max horizontal speed and vertical speeds. I guess ideal size would be 200-400? What do you all think?:cool:

Hi, this might be a little tangential, but I enjoy a lot THAC which is the Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest. The idea is simple: you animate something for 24 hours and post your video online. Similarly to this I was wondering if we could do something like this on flitetest. We try to find a...

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...

the competition is to have the longest flight time using a 2200mah 3 cell battery must have proof in video form showing the putting in of the battery(so we know you don't put another batteries in) and no gliders or planes i say looks like one(but if everyone disagrees it gets overruled) Just...

Just thought some people might be interested in this that cropped up on my Twitter feed the other day. http://www.dugn.org/prizes.html I reckon this is an ideal challenge for Flite Test followers given their use of low cost materials and equipment. I've already started thinking about some...

I had a plane i designed a while ago I called the Arrow, it had an untimely demise. You can see it here, the first plane in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JnEnczm90Q I then re modded it and I called it the Sparrow (Super Arrow). It flew, but then it too decided to fist bump the...
