Flite Test - 100mph under $100 - CHALLENGE

[EpicScandinavian]

why don't you guys try the mikey's rc pylon racer?

[fulls24]

Guys you need to do the 200mph for less than $200. there is the new challange

[appa609]

should have made a flying wing.

[TheArfdog]

I didn't know Justin Timberlake liked RC shit

[pietzeekoe]

fpv that thing...

[archedperson]

so only like 1237ish $ to break the sound barrier XD

[Raptor2242]

Is there any plans for the second plane?

[shadesofbluee]

That's pretty cool, but how long can the 2nd plane stay in the air? It looked like the first one ran out of juice under 4 minutes.

[F16V1PER]

can you send me a link to the p-51 in the background at 4:05 ?

[Pellegrino80]

if you had done a boomerang shaped plane it would of gone much faster then the pyramid shaped that you made here.

[Pellegrino80]

@Pellegrino80 "if you had done a boomerang shaped plane" shaped like a V

[black13078]

Can I found the body somewhere in order to built this one?

[markallisonmc]

I would like plans so I can build the SpeedZing tm ;)

[fartinthewind13]

I'm the 17000th viewer!!!!

[flitetest]

@fartinthewind13 AWESOME!!!

[fartinthewind13]

@flitetest Thanks!

[1995rchelipilot]

i think a really good challenge would be to build a quadcopter for under $100, but without counting the trasmitter and receiver in the price. you guys make great videos, by far the best rc channel on youtube. great work!

[flyingchrisRC]

fake! you flew the 2nd plane with your DX8! and not with the Hobbyking Transmiter!

[fnlrun]

Bugle Boy LOL



[rcflyboynj]

That looks a lot like the 3DMon Speedy.

[stonebayrocker]

can u post plans for the speed wing ? that would be great !

@zyberbob

Thank you !



[davonizdashit]

dude u want speed u get a gas plane!!!

[oimmuk]

OK I am truly wondering why they did not use the HK radio...Won't it handle the 100 mph or is it not stable enough?

[flitetest]

@oimmuk - Ease of programming for expos. We needed precision control to fly it directly over the radar gun.

Hi. love The show. been into RC Cars for 10+ years, and just started to fly planes, love to build them and the mechanics of the planes.

I made a 1 to 1 scale of the FT Speedwing, so people can make it more easier, the rar file is a Illustrator and a pdf. hope it helps people.

[strag1964]

was shipping included in the hundred dollars? no! :)

[PPPatrickWWW]

I don't think that poor tower pro outrunner is rated for 4s, LOL. Seems to have worked out alright though. I have a GWS Corsair running that exact power system, except a 3 cell battery, and even with the draggy airframe, she flies a lot faster than scale. Gotta love HK!

They do a similar contest on RCGroups but they only figure in the cost of the speed control, motor, and battery for the 100 dollars. I think the record is over 150 MPH, which takes a lot more power than 100MPH, because of drag!

[SebastienDS]

great !



[calebsmedia]

Will you please upload the speed wing plans?

[psygn0sis]

But your gay boy skinny jeans helped you gain that extra couple mph.

[oldfogey100]

Osh josh baby!!!!!! Roflmao :-D

[TheTheBitches]

I WANT PLANS FOR BOTH OF THEM!!!!!

[melrobRTF]

rcpowers rip off

[bazilking]

you guys should be on tv you actualy make the hobbie interesting to none hobbysts

[gonadus]

Was Josh Scott in SNL's "Jizz in My Pants" video???

[dillzio]

you say in the video that the plans are up on the web... where?

I'm particularly interested in what motors you used for both planes

-thanks

[rcflight13]

Mikey's scratch-build $10 Pylon Racer. Done.

[stonebayrocker]

hi ! wery cool episode ! liked your sort of "new" episode, kind of "original" from ordinary flitetest episodes :)

I was wondering if you could share the buildings plans for the speed wing ?

that would be nice !

Cheers !

[mrfourtysevenman]

actually, noob josh said "for under a hundred dollars, *THIS PLANE* cant go that fast" and it didnt and he was right. he gets to keep da hair.

[rcFFBloodyMicks]

Next I want to see 200mph for less than $200. in a foamie, now THATS a challenge!

Jon

[flitetest]

@rcFFBloodyMicks The FunBat is up next!

[wildhover]

if i was betting anything on a 100 mph challenge, i wouldn't even bother with using a 3s and just dropped in a 4s lipo liked they used on the second wing.

[blackcatsqdn]

So much for the challenge... You blew it with the spektrum radio.

[BaDlYbRUiZeD]

Scott runs like a girl but falls like MAN!

lmao! :)

[bakonlicious]

Hey were can I get that wing plan?

[monboy10]

it would be sweet if you had a camera like your go pro right next to the radar gun

but still a super sweet video

[Lamboracer1]

Were can i get the plans for the Delta or Can you post the measurements. thanks, awesome videos

[daz28pike]

Hi guys, are there plans for the flying wing? and whats happened to all the features on your website? nuf luv ;-]

[tab1257]

Shipping? :P

[joeltheswede]

awesome episode guys! thumbs up!

[tehlump]

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, please do more like it. I liked the idea another commenter posted about more competitions. Great job guys, I get excited when I see that yall have posted another video!

[bicyclemonkey]

Osh Kosh b'gosh...LOL!

[crystal130h]

HXT900s are good servos, and I use them sometimes -- but is it a good idea to use plastic-gear servos in a plane this fast?

[kwahyttam]

@crystal130h Oh sure, Guy on RCGroups ran a Funjet Ultra to 182mph on HXT900's.

Search for "Funjet / Ultra on Steroids (Current top speed : 182 mph)", Psionic001's plane

[crystal130h]

@kwahyttam : Well in the "Fiberglass Fox" review that Flitetest posted on March 31, Josh specifically said, and I quote: "for this one, since we're gonna be flying fast, I want metal gears [servos] all around..."

Now they're doing another fast plane, and that recommendation all seems to be forgotten?

[joshuamelvin]

@crystal130h Hello friend. I can see where the advise I gave on the fox review seemed to be ignored. The Fox was a fast plane with large control serfaces with ample throw. The "challenge plane had very small controll serfaces with very little throws. This makes it ok to use the 9 grams.

Excellent observation friend!

JB

[crystal130h]

@joshuamelvin : OK thanks for clarifying that Josh. The reason I brought it up was because, on your advice, I ordered some of those same DS929MG servos from HobbyKing that you spoke of in that video...to be installed in my first plane that I hope to break the 100mph mark with. It's a little 50mm EDF-powered F-16 made by J-Power (which I also bought from HobbyKing), and I'm souping it up with a Wemo fan and 6000 Kv outrunner.

[kwahyttam]

@crystal130h Yeah, I see what you mean. They kinda went back on their previous statement. But they were going for as cheap as possible, so I guess that's where they cut back.

[robnuts01]

Love these type of episodes! Keep them coming :)

[rcFFBloodyMicks]

Nice plane at 5:22 ;)

Great Vid, nicely done.

Jon

[Eugensdiet]

Technically you need to fly the plane in both directions to eliminate how fast the wind can be pushing you. This is an old trick to get an approximate potential air speed. Take your RPM in thousands and the prop pitch in inches and multiply together. Example , 6600 RPM and 8x6 prop (6) - 6.6 times 6 yields approximately 40 MPH. Naturally aerodynamics is also really important.

[a09a21a]

MORE CHALLENGES!!! :D

[400chevlc]

I did this ages ago using the Hobbyking Flycat. Great work guys.

[Cjudd001]

should of run with the turnigy 2223 4400KV motor and a 4.75X4.75 prop on a towerpro 40amp esc. You would of sizzled past the 100mph barrier!!!

[tomstanton28]

Very nice challenge! Congrats on achieving your goal!

[SvenOkonomi]

This is Josh from Flitetest and welcome to Jackass. *Corona by the Minutemen*.

Dude, you look so much like Johnny Knoxville its uncanny! :D

Great challenge btw! I managed it with my funjet. ;)

[Fra42below]

great plane build one for me please

[Wattsy3006]

Check out Josh Scott run like a girl !

[Evansss1997]

@Wattsy3006

actually i like his running !  (:

[rcflight13]

@Wattsy3006 Ha! He runs live Dave Powers! 

[ItsMeAndNoOneElse001]

@Wattsy3006

they both run like girls........

[MeTheFlyMan]

@Wattsy3006 But he's faster :D

[gooniac33]

your production is awesome! But how come so few views?

[samanthms123]

wow...103mph is 166 Km/h !!

kudos to Chad !

[Pimpypapasmurf]

Nice job Chad!

[Skydive4ever]

Excellewnt episode, way to change it up, congrats on the 100 mph :-)

[antsp1]

Great EP!

Keep up the good work!

[StewieRc]

you guy should make more episodes like this episode.

and it would be a lot funnier if Chad and Josh B try and see who design the best plane.

some ideas:

slowest plane

cheapest plane

plane under $100 that can the most of weights.

[KWAKAPILOT]

Was that my Beanie Josh S.? lol.

[mq1506]

I have mind reading powers and i predicted josh will win

[lewandlo]

Great stuff guys. I pullin for you Josh(looser of bet). You have nothing to worry about .By the looks of it he can`t color match and it looks like he wears too tight of clothes heheheh.

[OldWeaponsRCool]

Cant wait to see the next episode. . .

[ap0lmc]

That is cool I just ordered a Falcon flying wing from BEVRC and maybe I can get that to go 100mph.

[TheKrazydreams]

smooth one that didn't look like a $40 transmitter

 if its really $40 ill buy it for $50

[benybeeJz]

@TheKrazydreams yeah it's not $40, josh like to use his own tx

[RcTinCan]

@TheKrazydreams Its 20$ Hobbyking makes them and sells them for a cheap price since there is no middle man

[TheKrazydreams]

@RcTinCan its a joke im calling them out for saying its a $40 trans their using but at 9:19 doesn't look like a hobby king transmitter so if its only $40 ill buy it.

[OldWeaponsRCool]

5th



[benybeeJz]
