Flite Test - Flying Cinder Block - PROJECT

[bayenne5b]

I want to see it flying without brick:p

[TheRcTalents]

@flitetest please make a project were you make a giant rc plane out of this stuff! Please ! ~big fan

[LoqueTheBoss]

hmmm I think a multicopter could carry the brick even better xD

[FuryCA]

You should reinforce the wing with some light steel and put a motor under each instead of the front one!

[ravoilizbro]

10:50 till the end

[ravoilizbro]

josh 3:47

[HigherPhoto]

I disliked the video until I saw the end where you tried to loop it... That crap was funny and worth the view! thumbs up!

[Legolia1]

U should get rid of the brick and decrease the power so its just a huge plane

[brentr52]

That is a concrete block, not a "cinder" block.

[MoreBoingPlox]

@brentr52 I pretty sure that's a cinder block

[brentr52]

@MoreBoingPlox LOL, Maybe it is! They must have gotten it from a block museum cos nobody has made "cinder" block in nearly forever. I apologize for being a dope with too much specialized information about an industry. Me shut up now! (love this channel)

[MoreBoingPlox]

@brentr52 Touche brother. I couldn't find anything that suggested they do not make cinder blocks, I'll take your word for it. You seem to have industry knowledge.

[fmscott3022]

this guys are crazy there trying to make a brick fly lol love it

[cod4madass]

take the brick off and fly it. now that would be crazy

[greendude96]

add winglets to get more efficient wing

[Chumpified]

You guys should have tried it with multiple motors. I really want you to do one where you get it to like reaaaally fly. Try like 4 4000kv motors

[jaydensurfes]

hahhaahah this is my favourite YouTube channel i love the intro for this vid <3

[Melloron]

basicly just made it with ground effect?

[miffymichael8]

such a tiny motor why not use a nitro engine?

[cripso123]

Use a JATO system with some rocket motors!!!

[simondchambers]

You ought to get a take-off ramp, à la the Harrier on the British aircraft carriers

[HamdhanA330]

@flitetest : You guys should make a video on HOw to make wings (like the BIG one on the vid)

[toddyleite]

You could use a sellig 1223 airfoil, bigger span and a smaller root chord, Search about SAE Aerodesign airplanes. They can fly 15kg brick with a 2,5 kg airplanes...

[BigBeerSausage]

Are you guys from the Massilon area, which club do you guys fly with?

[chadkapper]

@BigBeerSausage Unfortunately we don't have time to join a club. We just fly in the backyard.

-Chad

(Navarre, OH)

[BigBeerSausage]

@chadkapper Too bad you guys are so far south, could use some crazy daring pilots up at the Cleveland Radio Control Club, when you guys mentioned Menard's, I thought of your area. D.

[RcTranMD]

you guys should of put four motors on he wing you will get more acceleration and power

[3801Catcher]

I wonder how it would fly minus the brick...

[CasualFlyer23]

i feel like this would be an awesome plane to show up with at a flying field minus the cinder block on the bottom

[USAFA21]

you need a jato!!! do a Flite test of a plane with jato...or rato...rocket assisted takeoff

[fordyrox]

end of the vid is best :P

[mcvspam]

Brixler!

[liveforever7]

Cool vid guys, I liked the ending! 

[sameershammy]

What about a twin engine setup? Would it give more power?

[starlite2991]

cool!

[mtvenar]

Someone's a Tim and Eric Awesome Show fan at 4:19

[Allnos04]

Haha, that was just the coolest. Keep it up, the whole lot of you guys make a fantastic show.

[aesoft2009]

This is the coolest episode of all!

Mythbusters infused!

Good work to all of you! You're awesome!

[zombienumber13]

freakin a awsome!!

[rcflight13]

Just imagine trying to explain how a cinder block fell from the sky and landed on a police crusier if that thing came loose.

[flitetest]

@rcflight13 There are only two cops in our town... and neither one parks in my back yard.

:)

-Chad

[TheRcwarbird]

you may try the twin engine version or the 4 engine version

[cloudsplitter24]

Very cool. Actually riblets is a term for small grooves on a surface for flow control in an attempt to reduce drag. Love the show!

[foamwings]

Laughed till I cried. Total techno-slapstick. You guys are great. The build was impressive. It DOES fly. The loop had to come. Best vid yet. Thx for your work.

[SLRCNetwork]

try flying it with out the brick! HIT 100MPH!!!! :D

[Snagglepuss1952]

This is a totally mad idea and I love it to bits. Would have loved to see it with about 20% more power and possibly thin air dams on the wing tips. Please keep up the good "work". RC flying is for fun whether a serious model or something outrageous. A+++.

[briktern]

I feel like if the nose goes down its gonna.........

[trublu2nu]

Sorry HobbyKing, but I am buying all my planes from Menards from now on ;)

[thydusk666]

absolutely great fun to watch :)

[W4UAV]

Ground Effect....

[phs1df]

it is a amasing rc plane I love it.

[oznitroburner]

awesome effort guys, love the final flight with the 3/4 loop to "landing"

[BankheadRC]

Guys that was nice GREAT JOB

[elyasaf1230]

the end was funny....!hahahhaah!

[MrMaxymoo22]

I love the vid. I just wish you guys would show some more of the building and dev. stuff. Some people care about more than the maiden.

[toolbaggers]

why not just use multiple engines?

[MrFfllyyeerr]

I love the first 15 seconds ;))

[FinallyAUniqueName]

Just one note: Once the plane is in the air, it doesn't matter if you fly upwind, downwind, crosswind... the airspeed is unaffected. Think of the plane moving within a 'block' of air... it can't tell if that block is moving in relation to the ground. Wind only matters during take-off and landing, where the ground is involved, or when the wind is gusting and changing speed or direction.

[edabean007]

@FinallyAUniqueName wind going east at 15 kmph+plane going east at 15kmph= 0kmph airspeed wind going west at 15kmph+plane going east at 15kmph= 30 kmph airspeed .. when you turn with the wind your plane temporarily loses altitude due to loss of airspeed

[FinallyAUniqueName]

@edabean007

Sorry, it doesn't work like that. If your plane has 15km/h airspeed and turns, it will still have 15km/h airspeed. Even if there's a 15km/h breeze, the plane's airspeed will NOT change. Its ground speed will however, from 30km/h with the wind to 0km/h against the wind (ie, it will appear to be hovering). The ONLY time the wind comes into play is when the ground is also involved: Ie, take-off and landing, or when the wind's speed or direction is changing.

[edabean007]

@FinallyAUniqueName next time u fly in a breeze .. please notice that the plane will drop as it turns with the wind as the planes speed actually drops as you make the transition also please note that when you turn back into the wind the momentum / energy if u will will drain away but you will also gain altitude i don't think i can make it any simpler than that .. if u really want to learn more about it, basic math and a protractor is all you need.

[FinallyAUniqueName]

@edabean007 This is the last reply I'll make, but you're still not understanding. The plane is flying within an air mass. During flight, the relative movement of this air mass over the ground makes NO DIFFERENCE. Think of the air as stationary and the ground moving beneath it... it has NO effect on the flight. The reason we land and take off into the wind, is that the relative speed of the air means a lower ground speed, allowing shorter take-offs and landings with lower, safer ground speed.

[edabean007]

@FinallyAUniqueName please take note of the planes attitude flying into the wind and then turn to flying with the wind. specifically the transition stage where the plane needs to build momentum to travel with the wind. try it with a slow flyer and the effect will be more pronounced. do a snap turn with a light 3D plane at low throttle with no wind. it loses altitude . try it in a breeze, it loses even more altitude. in a perfect world you are right. we dont live in a perfect world

[dadde87]

Best episode yet! Great job guys.

[randomrcstuff]

why don't you attach a rocket and light it when you take off so there is power when you need it??

[MrBhargab123]

good experiment guys, you may be able to make a real one seater electric plane one day ? Good luck.

[Cokecanninja]

You need a nitro motor.

[raykiii]

How about a weed whacker motor? or one of those 35 cc scooter motors? Gas and go guys.

[jimcr120]

That was an excellent show guys! Everything seemed to be slightly different but better. This was a show that I could relate to because my son and I have projects too, but not that scale. What a fun show! I agree JB, just a little more lift will get you through the turn, though I noticed that the predecessor seemed to turn fairly well. Was the weight or power on this one less? If you fly the Bricksler again, pitching up w/ limited power = more drag and less lift perpendicular to the earth.

[standomax]

Lol you guy should resurect it with a huge motor then make it fly good but then make the cinder block drop able in flight so like a brick bomb drop

[ReDnEcKrCrAcInG]

One word, FLAPS!!!

[MrMyKidd]

Beef up the power plant, and resurrect it. Can't wait for the "Frankenbrick" episode ; )

[MrMyKidd]

"The Brixler" HAHAHAHA! I think I just pooped! You guys really know how to get the most fun out of what you do. Man, those GoPros are tough!

[toose70]

Very cool vid guys!

[djclarkie11]

Great ep guys flitetest is the best chanel on youtube and i dont even fly plane's

you guys sholud do a drivetest chanel and do boat's and car's

[Tendo8002]

So looking forward to next show I really want to try gyros on a plane so that will be interesting to watch (hope you try with more than one gyro !).

Good work otherwise

[xdd231]

MAKE THE VIDEOS LONGERRRRRRRRR

[metastopheles]

Awesome ep guys, well done getting the block off the ground.

Have you ever considered rocket launched planes, or RC rockets?

[floush1337]

YOU GUYS ROCK! Keep up the great work :)

[densemann]

best episode so far! Keep up the good work - 11:00 is epic! ;)

[Ekasx2]

4th attempt - okcto brick!

[Hanufan]

great show by the way

[Hanufan]

Do you ever use methanol motors for your rc planes?

[jodde73]

@Hanufan The power/weight ratio sucks. Loud and dirty.

[TheIronSavior]

Ok guys, quit screwing around and make a plane that can carry the little Josh.

[herishidesigns]

off topic a bit but, have you tried putting bigger ailerons on the Bixler? I love the plane and it makes a great camera platform it's just a little lazy doing rolls, any suggestions?

[DGDK23]

why didnt you just use 2 motors???



[pagani8]

Very good video! Thanks for putting all the time and effort into these that you do!

[Boot2yourHead]

you guys rule! love the video guys way to keep us entertained.

[mhflies]

do a bomb drop and drop the birck!

[SolarPoweredGardener]

Good effort... Now lets see it with the 'Bomb Drop'....?

[RCuser22]

love the ending!!!!!

[kpopRC]

great job!

[flyright2010]

your best video for a while

[rcjoseb]

Very cool. Amazing it flew better with the concrete block attached that without!

[sdjb111]

Guys that was cool. I LIKE IT..

sdjb

[chops1sc]

Is that a dirt oval race track in the back ground? me gusta

[flitetest]

@chops1sc Yes

[Lithoushine]

lol at 4:19! im really impressed with what you did! i mean thats pretty amazing

[RCChronicles]

Put twin motors on it!! Then it'll scoot that brick :P

Great video - love the ending :P Had a similar incident today :P

[G4m3G3ni3]

I love you guys SO much, thank you for this hilarious yet interresting project (And like always you try to make everythin affordable for everyone!)

I hope to see something like that again in the future! (Maybe Ill try something like that myself ;D)

[jwjwjwjwjwjwjwjjwjwj]

Imagine how big of a battery you could use- Hour-long flight times!!!

[RCflyer247]

its a auto harriering plane!!! ha

[mksubaru]

amazing, i told my grandmother and she did not belive me, bricks cant fly she said, lolol

[TheLordofConvix]

the ending was the best part XD

[AceMcMoron]

In most European countries, the AUW would require special permits/ licences even certified airfields to fly the Brixler legally :s Just warning the European viewers.

Btw. I'm somewhat disappointed, I expected you guys to call Anthony and asking him to call in the cavalry, high discharge batteries, dual or even triple motor setup!

[meetsouder]

couldent you use a nitro motor? dont they have more power?

[PatBALEX]

You guy's should turn to the engineers who design the F-4 Phantom who said "If you give a brick enough power,it will fly".....

[azuspace]

One 'Bricksler' dislikes the video

[jasser222]

what's the total weight of the plane?

[flitetest]

@jasser222 Total Flying Weight: 48 lbs (21.8 kg)

[mrfourtysevenman]

@flitetest good thing you werent at an ama field or they would be like GET THAT THING OUTTA HERE

i think theres a 42~44 lbs limit.

[monboy10]

once again, great and i loved the ending!

[flyinglarry1]

can you ship it to the uk.lol

[wezpaa]

Haha, the end was hilarious! :D

[trublu2nu]

Menards in my favorite store ;)

[ThisisTheShady]

Nice one guys...

[zippythefly]

More speed = more lift.

$100 for air frame only?... lets see a twin boom, twin engine.

Try the C-119..

for some added fun, drop the brick from the sky. :)

[salkeld17]

I truly laughed out loud on the blooper at the end. LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!

So much fun!

[rcplaneguy1]

this didnt show up in my sub box :(

[Roli6666]

With this ideology you can put this into a normal plane's cargo...

You got the same.....

[oysterlicker]

Cinder block = C4 payload... KABOOOMMM!

[IteKLF]

I would like to see twin motor installation on that plane!

[flyboyMaxwell]

I want to make one now!

[Kjetilaf]

maybe it would be cool to try it without the brick?:D

[flitetest]

@Kjetilaf Did you watch the very end of the video?

[Kjetilaf]

@flitetest yes, but i hoped you will repear it :D

[freemarlochip]

Take the brick out and fly that baby for all that she is.

[flitetest]

@freemarlochip Watch to the very end :)

[freemarlochip]

@flitetest There is the problem, I never stay past the credit when watching a movie. Was the crash done on purposed?

[DoktorSativa]

The blooper reel at the very end was the best. Question now is, what happened to the prop and the motor when it did a header into the ground? Great vid!

[Kjetilaf]

MORE POWER! :D

[freemarlochip]

Can you imange the damage of that thing coming down. Its goint to hit like a ton of bricks. LOL

[TAKTEZ]

Really looking forward to the next one.. :D

[prayag123456789]

Can you please request hobbyking to change the color of the BONSAI EPP Wing because blue plane + blue sky = lost plane

[Kjetilaf]

@prayag123456789 just paint it your self with a spray:)

[RCcrAzY1234]

@prayag123456789 or use colored duct tape

[oldfogey100]

And I have to agree with bindnfly. Awesome intro. Love it.

[oldfogey100]

The long awaited brick plane. To be honest I was a but disappointed. I was looking for something more than a wright brothers flight. However it is proof of concept. Kudos guys. I look forward to your next show. And thanks for the entertainment.

[BindNFly]

PDF PLANS???

[JonitFR]

best ever so far! I'm Lovin' It :)

[BindNFly]

Best INTRO ever! like LIke LIKE!!!

[bicyclemonkey]

YES!
