flitetest

Hello I bought a flitetest gremlin that one of the founders, Matt, had built for me at flitefest 2019. The quad was great and zippy for a few weeks but then began getting sluggish and have no punch. The batteries are not the problem because I use them in other planes and they work great, and...

The Simple Stick flies great at any speed - with a Power Pack B it's slow enough to fly in very small spaces but with a C pack it really cruises nicely! It glides really well and has very gentle stalls. The wingspan is around 1 meter - 970mm above the spar. For a full flight review, check out...

I promised you guys, when this came out, I'd post a review on my YouTube channel. Well, it's out! And the verdict is... Since the video, I've had a chance to mess around with it a little more, and I finally found something minor to pick on. The foam landing gear legs, just behind where the...

Thought I would share the most recent build. It is a modified FT bushwacker with straighter lines and the FT Corsair cowling to create a DH Beaver. Covered white foam board with clear and colored packaging tape. As soon as it’s nice out we will see how she flies.

Hello there, I just wanted to share a couple of my favourite Flite Test planes that I have built and really enjoy flying (Goblin and Mini Mustang). I started with this hobby at the beginning of September and it's been an awesome but also extremely frustrating experience. Just a tip for us new...

My son was born nearly six years ago, and pretty much all free time stopped. I used to work too hard and for me, I really wanted to become a dad-aholic, so it wasn't a sacrifice, but it was a tough adjustment! Roll forward five years and after all the modelmaking with cardboard and hot glue...

So I decided to sell the FT Gremlin and move up to a larger quad. I'd kill for David's new Tricopter but I don't know anything about building/tuning multirotors and don't want to start with and advanced build like his Tricopter. ANYWAY, I am selling my Gremlin, TJ's frame. It has all the basic...

Hi, I’ve been trying to fly my ft sparrow and new ft mini mustang yesterday and today but I’m having trouble with the connection. I’m using the same receiver for each plane, I’m just swapping it between the two. The receiver is the 8ch one that comes with my Turnigy 9x. With the sparrow I would...

Hi friends, This Group has been so generous to this Disabled OLD Veteran so far, and I couldn't be more grateful. I've got a 6 Channel Radio, Motors, Servos, Wheels, Wire, 7 sheets of DTFB, Batteries and detail items. I just don't think that a scratchbuild, should be my very first Aircraft...

Hi all! Thought I would share my recently completed build of a 3 channel modification based on the FT Simple Storch - this one has come about due to the need of something nice and simple to introduce my 10 year old nephew to the art of aeromodelling. The general goal here was a simple three...
