Flying a real airplane over the water, there isnt much depth perception, you are taught to setup a glide slope then watch the shoreline. Having instruments would be huge.
+1 Airsoft Dogfight 11/10 would watch There are so many ways you could do it. So many different styles of planes to choose from. If you wanted to be really extra you could start with bi-planes, then do WW2 planes, then use EDF's to simulate jets. This would be peak FliteTest.
wow, it's peter !! no way!! I love ur videos dude!! I've been a subscriber since u were at like 10k subs back then when u used to work in ur parents basement XD
Beautiful looking backwards and seeing all three aircraft strung out in a row over that tranquil lake. This is the kind of thing that makes RC flying so priceless. The gods cannot take away the time one spends RC flying.
I’ve been watching this channel for years, and this may have been the first time my vertigo was triggered. It happened right after Alex asked about getting some altitude. Something about being that high over the water made the butterflies come alive. But it was beautiful up there.
As a possible project you guys can keep in the back of your head, you could look at creating an RC motor warplane, with a larger battery capacity and putting a bit less oomf on the motors so the plane performance becomes smoother with the sluggishness ; climbing time, turning etc. An RC dogfight with planes like these will be absolutely rad! The behavior will be graceful enough to make targeting your guys' planes easy without the frustration of chasing nimble and speedy airplanes with a camera and a condensed screen
I grew up in a hanger in Everett Washington where we were restoring a Grumman Widgeon, along with a handful of other fantastic aircraft. It's really nice to see these models available, as well as the work being put in to make them work well.
Things I love about this episode: - Anders is back in front of the camera! - The 360 shots just keep getting better and better. Much nicer than using a standard action cam. (I mean, look at the smooth 360 shots in the "you guys want to go high altitude?" section versus the jello in the quad's GoPro while Alex is punching to the moon.) - Great music choices. - Alex with that save after tapping Anders's wing :) - Josh's field test of the water resistance of the FPV pod.
i have this plane. mine is yellow, but yeah...a thrill to fly, super stable, very forgiving, powerful, and looks amazing in the water and the air! i have a fpv system, I put it on my plane, but chickened out last minute and took it off. im glad to see somone else enjoying it... i get a lot of attention friom onlookers, lots of compliments.. Have fun. this modle is durrable and will last a while. we made. Im not paid to say anything...i truely just love this plane.
Excellent and so much fun. Flew float planes for a living back in the 70s and 80s (C185f, DHC2 and 3s). Glassy water was the bane. Set up 200fpm down and hope your lake was long enough!
Would love to see you guys build an RC boat to rescue the planes with! Also I loved the over-the-water content, I would love to see more of that. Great job!
Hey guys I really liked this episode, the shots were amazing. But since you were trying to show off the HD-FPV capabilities I would have liked to see more of the live video feed instead of the 360 cam.
Any float pilot will tell you it is that beautiful glassy water that is the real killer. Ideally land parallel a shore line or approach by an island or buoy or even a floating stick to lend some depth perception to the water. Then trim nose up and milk her in with power! Beauty vid.
I have over 5k hours in a real Widgen & if your landing on glassy water, Land close to the shore if possible, that's horizontal to the shore. It helps to see how high you are to the water.
Awesome vid guys. So glad to get my Widgeon after the release wait. Set everything up, did Spektrum with Safe during the wait for Aura info. Did intermediate mode and she went straight up from the runway and then straight down. Maiden and cracked the hull and split the foam. Wanted a Goose, waited all of this time for the Widgeon, and can't get parts. Normal laugh when I crash, but not this time. Video came out while I was collecting pieces.
I never flew float planes , but spoke to pilots that have . This business with depth perception on take off and landing, is something they have a problem too. On take off , if the water is very smooth , like a mirror. A trick that they do. Is taxi round, to make a little wave on the water . It helped on take off . to judge distance .

That was some of the most amazing camera shots I've seen ever for RC pilot so great please do more tandem flights water Landings fpv it's so gorgeous on the lake
Hey guys its great to see all the fun and frolics on your channel but to see footage of this quality only goes to show how far the hobby has come. Thanks for this one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great Job Guy's. Looking forward to mine , due in tomorrow or Wednesday. Spoke with your customer service agent and gave him my RjMorganB2. Since I fly a full size Seaplane , a good suggestion to see the water is to toss a seat cushion in to make waves and shoot for the float and land beyond. Also we call it a Splash and Go. Keep up the Great Work, Capt. Morgan.
Awesome float plane guys! A bit of info I gained from experience with hydroplanes is a spray called INOX. A water displacing silicone free lubricating spray for so many uses including fishing gear, stainless steel cleaning and basically waterproofing electronics that helps in this hobby of ours when water is part of the fun equation.
I recently started FPV. It’s fun, but my gear is just 25mw short range gear. I’d love a review on the features, pricing, and legality of that DJI system! Thanks guys!
Awesome video! So cool. Love those 399.9 ft altitude clips 👍 Just got floats for my UMX TimbX and can't wait to go get her moist-maidened. Thanks for all of the great videos!!!
I live in Scottsboro,AL , I am 65 and would love to learn to fly an R/C. But as my luck has it there is no club or any one that I can find locally . The only one I knew of is over 50 miers away. so I guess I'll just have to watch y'll fly the plane and get the enjoyment outta it.
Gday Josh, all i heard was fpv this fpv that, it would have been an awsome video but you didn't show us any, none, not at all, fpv footage from the dji nose cams, where is the flight footage from the dji air units? that would have been very awsome, the plane is very cool by the way.👍🛸
Just another awesome video. You guys are so amazing with your products and videos. 3:30am and the Old Man watching with my coffee. Great start to my day. ✈😎💗
another thing you should do. JoergSprave made a rubber powered mock aircraft carriers launch system i would LOVE to see you guys work with him and together make a bigger version and launch some of your FT RC planes from it that would be a damn good video
What an awesome venue, so jealous. Fun video and love the the plane. Wish Edgewater was in NZ. Been with you from the beginning cheers guys, and say hi to other Josh

Definitely a time where on-screen flight data is highly beneficial.
Yessss
Flying a real airplane over the water, there isnt much depth perception, you are taught to setup a glide slope then watch the shoreline. Having instruments would be huge.
LOVE the early flite test music! You should use it more often, it’s really nostalgic.
You should do a dogfight with the fpv planes
Wtf
Yeah with the built in airsoft guns they did in an earlier video
+1 Airsoft Dogfight
11/10 would watch
There are so many ways you could do it. So many different styles of planes to choose from.
If you wanted to be really extra you could start with bi-planes, then do WW2 planes, then use EDF's to simulate jets.
This would be peak FliteTest.
thats a great idea...yeah do dogfight with fpv planes
I would even do ww1 that would be amazing
Super cool video. Love the footage!
Looks like you guys need a chase boat 😂 I’ll take two 44’s btw!
How has nobody seen this comment yet? :P
wow, it's peter !! no way!!
I love ur videos dude!!
I've been a subscriber since u were at like 10k subs
back then when u used to work in ur parents basement XD
hey man why don't you do any videos with flight test anymore?
you got me into rc planes with your geat videos!

And put airsoft on those planes!
I got a challenge for you: See how many motors you can stick on an rc airplane (maybe a simple cub? doesn't really matter) and keep it flying.
In full scale glass water landing can be very challenging. You guy's handled it like champs!
Anders is an absolute genius. That young man amazes me.
I grew up in a hanger in Everett Washington where we were restoring a Grumman Widgeon, along with a handful of other fantastic aircraft. It's really nice to see these models available, as well as the work being put in to make them work well.
You guys hit it out of the park with the Widgeon. That is one beautiful model!

That short edit to jump to the future was spot on. Whosever idea that was, great idea!
This is so satisfying to watch the nature in the sky
Just bought my first plane from flite test, and ended up buying another one today. Really excited and happy to support these guys
Lol I'm over here thinking 'wtf, failsafes?' And then the Spektrum radios show up, and all is made clear XD
What does it mean when they say "failsafe"?
the drone filming you 2 flying was beautiful over the lake i got a little emotional
Would love to see you guys build an RC boat to rescue the planes with! Also I loved the over-the-water content, I would love to see more of that. Great job!

I just loved this plane as a kid. A seaplane is just so cool. And how can you fly this and not hear Herve Vilachez yelling, “Da plane! Da plane!”
Two words, 1. Totally, 2. Awesome.
This will most likely be one of my next planes,a Catalina, and/or a canadair CL415.
The FPV pod design was genius
Anders is back !!! So cool. Catalina? Catalina? Catalina?
now you just need a FPV from the flight Deck of an RC Aircraft Carrier that can turn and watch you. OMG i need this hobby in my life now Thanks guys
I feel like it's about time to recreate the spruce goose
Flite Test can do it!!!
Definitely

Crashes like that are why I’m a bit apprehensive about tackling a float plane build yet
Ur a member
Darn Alex, you took great footage with the drone! The backwards flying shot with both planes is truly awesome.
Great flying guys. And of course (what I would call) the canoeing of shame.
That was some of the most amazing camera shots I've seen ever for RC pilot so great please do more tandem flights water Landings fpv it's so gorgeous on the lake

This was just a really nice peaceful flight to watch. Good Job guys.

Whoa! I love the active cooling systems, it's brilliant!
We've got to see a FliteTest/King of Random collab again! It was flying Harry Potter that got me from TKOR to here, and it has been almost a year!
What a pretty model!
This is why you should use conformal, especially on seaplane lol.
I love this FPV content
You should do a Calab with Bobby duke arts where he carves a plane out of Styrofoam and you make it fly
Bring back the retro intro and music! The OG flitetest

This Just Rocks... Bravo!!!
1 minute! Love flite test been watching since the early early days, about 7 or 8 years ago now
Nice great seeing more early fans I remember when they were so small
Widgeon check. Now how about a Carolina flying boat with retractable landing pontoons? The king of flying boats in the Atlantic theater.
I think you guys could pull off a two pilot flight, one with the VR headset, the other with the transmitter! Love your channel 🤜🏽
Dang that plane looks nice in the air!!!
...that must've been a mind-blow flight....perfect weather....nice job guys....!!! 🤘😎

Check out Joshua bard well
Awesome! Now.....fpv with chase speed boats (or a recovery barge for Josh).
time to build those search and rescue ships - loved the video
I’m an inthousiast of sae planes.I love this
So, I know this is about the planes and all.....but i need more info on that fancy star trek tube things in the shop!
very jittery elevator. Well flown. brilliant.
Andres is back!
Last time I was this early to a Flite Test episode, the plane featured was in a TV show from the 80s. (Yes I know not the same plane.)
Flite Test needs their own Seaplane Tender.
Awesome video! So cool. Love those 399.9 ft altitude clips 👍
Just got floats for my UMX TimbX and can't wait to go get her moist-maidened.
Thanks for all of the great videos!!!
Cool. Could you try a Catalina next. I'd like to see sore seaplanes. Either that or a stuka model.
Love the FPV system! Amazing job.
I like watching because I like planes and I am a kid.
The RC club use to hold a fly in one weekend a year at Guilford Lake. We had a cabin there for 35 years and use to go out on the boat and watch them.
I live in Scottsboro,AL , I am 65 and would love to learn to fly an R/C. But as my luck has it there is no club or any one that I can find locally . The only one I knew of is over 50 miers away. so I guess I'll just have to watch y'll fly the plane and get the enjoyment outta it.
Dream plane for me, as i live right at the sea. Only needs spare front fuselages and a local reseller before i'll get one :)
You guys are just simply amazing. Love your videos.
It’s been 4 hours and there is only 35 dislikes not surprised they are great RUclipsrs
5 hi ours 38
why would anyone click dislike???
Awesome video! When's the CAD file getting uploaded?

Gotta love Stefan over complicating untangling a wire then wearing headphones that aren’t plugged in 😉😂
Dude that’s a nice plane!
You didn't show much FPV at all, just a bunch of fancy shots.
Add some blister pods in the rear and you got a PBY-5
Part of learning how to fly is learning how to land! Keep practising.
That looks great. I really need to try fpv flying soon. Great work!
I've always enjoyed watching your videos. I'm hoping by the end of the year to have my first beginner plane.
FPV is a winner
Channeling good times there guys :)
awsome, I love flying Fpv planes, u guys have always inspired me to go out there and fly.🙂
Just another awesome video. You guys are so amazing with your products and videos. 3:30am and the Old Man watching with my coffee. Great start to my day. ✈😎💗

Wonderful, as always!
Ill be buying one soon it looks so amazing
