- Spyhawk FPV
A23Spyhawk FPVIn this episode of Flite Test Josh and Josh fly the Spy Hawk FPV! Traditionally, First Person Flying has been complex and only available to those who could build from scratch and know how to solder. With the new SpyHawk FPV all the hard work is done. It's a commercially available RTF FPV system. - Twin Twirl Build
A38Twin Twirl BuildDid you love the Twin Twirl Review? Well you're in luck! In this episode of Flite Test Josh Bixler walks us through, step-by-step, on how to build the Twin Twirl! Although it may be a tad bit intimidating to build, Josh simplifies is easy steps, while giving you some added tips along the way! Watch this episode to see more. - H-Quad Multirotor
A43H-Quad MultirotorMultirotors can be very useful. Imagine a quad-copter combined with a big shelf. Meet the H-Quad. We didn't invent it, but Josh Bixler sure built a good one. It's not quite as aerobatic as an 'X' or '+' quad, however... it sure can haul a lot of FPV crap! Functional multirotors are gaining popularity, so we were certain this would be a worth while build. This heavy lifter has lots of space and a great layout to get your camera gear way out front. - Delta Wing
A46Delta WingIn this episode of Flite Test Josh and Josh continue with the topic of swappable air frames and introduce the Delta. Designed with a KF airfoil step for lift, this Delta offers no other vertical stabilization. This means you can do rolls, loops, basic aerobatics and inverted flight! - Delta Wing Build
A48Delta Wing BuildLearn to build a swappable Delta wing! This Delta is designed for taking that next step in your RC flying offering the ability to do rolls, loops, inverted flight and more! The third installment in the swappable airframes series is this Delta wing, designed with a unique KF airfoil step design. The KF step on this Delta is created with a folding technique that will offer for a clean scratch built design! - Tail Heavy Plane
A50Tail Heavy PlaneFlying a tail heavy plane is a bad idea! RC planes work like a fulcrum, a little weight in the tail equals a lot of weight in terms of CG (Center of Gravity) and balance. So the further back the weight is from the CG the more leverage it will create and the more unbalanced your RC plane will be. In this episode of Flite Test, we put a bunch of weight on the tail of the plane to show the extreme effects of a tail heavy plane. - i86 Stabilizer
A52i86 StabilizerThe i86 is not only a stabilization board, but a multi-rotor control board! Featuring a 4-bit DIP-Switch for multi copter type and flight mode selection. With a flip of a DIP, you can go from aero copter to a quad copter, and more! We mounted the board on our Multiplex Twinstar II for this episode! - Throttle Mixing
A53Throttle MixingThrottle mixing is something that can really improve your flying experience, but most people don't do it. Let's say you have a plane that flies great but has a few flaws, like with our Retro Pioneer which takes a nose dive whenever you chop the throttle. Well, throttle mixing can correct this issue! - FT Flyer Build
A54FT Flyer BuildThe FT Flyer is a scratch built air frame designed specifically for our 'swappable fuselage' series. More details in in the write up on our website. The other wings in this series include the Nutball and Delta. In this episode, Josh goes through a step by step build plan and shows you how to make your own modified BluDart that we call The FT Flyer! - Giant RC Power Distribution
A56Giant RC Power DistributionOhio Huckfest 2012 King 50 Champion Joe Smith shared with us a little about what the fail safe power distribution of his giant scale RC plane The 103" Extra 300 SC. The Ohio Huckfest is an annual giant scale rc airplane event held in Youngstown, Ohio. - Custom Air Brakes - Extra 330SC
A57Custom Air Brakes - Extra 330SCArron Bates, product developer and team pilot for 3DHobbyShop talks with us about his custom designed air brake system. On location at the 2012 Ohio Huckfest we have a chance to learn more about Arron's giant scale 50cc Extra 330SC and see it's maiden flight! - August 2012
A58August 2012We'd like to start off by saying thank you, to the viewers who have made the Flite Test community what it is today! We have all kinds of great things planned in the future, but none of it would be possible without your support! As we move forward, we wanted to update you on the plans and products that we are rolling out to help generate revenue so we can continue to offer you free, unbiased programming and great RC flying content. - Laser Balancing Props
A60Laser Balancing PropsMany multirotors suffer from vibration. Lasers can help you visually see the vibration that your motors and props are creating on your R/C plane or multirotor. By reflecting a laser off of a mirror that's attached to your plane or multirotor you can easily see and and correct unbalanced props! - Multirotor Tic-Tac-Toe
A61Multirotor Tic-Tac-ToeTic-Tac-Toe Challenge with RC Multirotors? ...only on Flite Test! Our friend Giacomo, the creator of upaper.com, joins us today for a radio controlled challenge. We setup a giant tic-tac-toe board, we also have a nice selection of quad-copters, hexi-copter, multirotor copters to choose from. The goal, land 3 in a row and win! - Bixler 2
A63Bixler 2The original EPO Foam flyer, The Bixler, has a new brother... The Bixler 2! Featuring a larger wingspan optional pre-hinged flaps and more! Great for FPV and Advanced FPV, The Bixler 2 has been designed to improve the original and offer different flying option with some of the changes. - Futaba T8FG Super
A65Futaba T8FG SuperThe Futaba T8FG Super (Super 8) transmitter is here, and it is super! It's been upgraded with more channels, gyro menu support, Custom VPP settings and more! This transmitter can be setup to fly your scratch built, park flyer, hexicopter, helicopter, multirotor, 3D Large Scale, and well, you get the idea! - Vertical Drag Race Combat
A66Vertical Drag Race CombatThe FT Bloody Wonder!? A cross between the Bloody Micks' FunBat and the Sig Wonder. We made ours with a swappable fuselage powered by a 28-26A 1200kv / 250w motor from HobbyKing. We built two of these planes and figured we'd have a combat challenge! - FT Bloody Wonder Build
A77FT Bloody Wonder BuildThe FT Bloody Wonder is the newest addition to the Flite Test Swappable Series! Inspired by Bloody Mick's FUNBAT and the Sig Wonder, the FT Bloody Wonder is a fast, fun, combat flyer made from a low cost of ADAMS foam board! (aka: dollar tree foam board) - Old Fogey Build
A89Old Fogey BuildThe Old Fogey foam board scratch built airplane is the latest additional to the Flite Test Swappable Fuselage Series! This old timer is designed after the classic RC airplane called the Buzzard Bombshell, this homemade plane features a polyhedral wing design that offers some very unique flying characteristics! - ArduPilot Mega 2.5
A92ArduPilot Mega 2.5The ArduPilot Mega 2.5 (APM 2.5) is a complete open source autopilot system that allows you to turn any radio controlled fixed, rotary wing or multirotor vehicle (even cars and boats) into a fully autonomous vehicle; capable of performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints and more!
