@@FJB2020 please explain how exactly it is p2w? there's the odd premium that could go up in br but even then, a lot of premiums actually are crappy vehicles.

I'd argue almost all of it is pay to PROGRESS. you can buy a premium top tier vehicle which can help you research but if you're not good, you're gunna get clapped. honestly I think the only potentially p2w part is crew skills don't get me wrong gaijin are money hungry bastards that make the game as frustrating as they can to make you pay but it doesn't stop you winning.... just makes you want to smash your head against the wall when you get your 5th consecutive uptier 😂
I'm sorry for taking you down Peter, that combat was a blast! 😁 I was flying the red striped plane that stuck in your wing. Got some good footage from the onboard camera too!
"We are gunna use this ratchet" cool, some kind of system that adjusts where a weight sits, probably on a long bolt throughout the body. Wait, no, he just taped it to the front. I forgot who I was watching.
_“More wings is more lift!“_ Ah, the aviation the twenties -- the pantheistic era of aviation science! My favorite illustrative example of naive aspiration of the time was the shaping of _everything_ into an airfoil section. In some models, even the _door handles_ were shaped like airfoils. Adorable...
Yes the Cg is at the center of the air craft, but the Center of Lift, Cl, is not, its all the way in the front. Im a Msc mechanical engineer with a Bsc in aerospace and my guess of what is happening is: the rear most wings are not generating as much lift as the front ones because as the air passes through each wing set it becomes more turbulent, which causes less lift being generated. Another explanation using continuity theorems is: the delta speed between the air and the wings decreases as the air passes through each wing set, in order to keep the Center of lift near the Cg, in equilibrium, the air would need to be increased after each set of wings in order to maintain the same air speed through the whole of the plane. Another solution would be to increase each wing set length in order increase surface area and get more energy from the "spent air". In a delta configuration.
It's funny..when an engineer talks about details...everything just makes sense and obvious.. I build boats and always interested to hear the navel architects explain how the dynamics work..
The simple way to look at it is: they are all equal wings spaces equally so they are effectively one square wing. In standard wings, the CG is 1/4 to 1/3 from the leading edge , so the CG should have been 1/4 - 1/3 of the total cord from the leading edge. Just like a normal wing.
Exactly what I was thinking. By the time the airflow gets to the middle and especially rear sets of wings, it's probably so chopped-up that those wings are producing very little effective lift. It would also help explain why the pitch authority was so garbage.
The absolute behemoth sent multiple other planes bouncing off of it to the ground, made a sick recovery, and only went down when two other planes got stuck to it. Only Peter could intend to end up with a wreck but instead accidentally create the flying gigachad.
and then deemed it a failure, that was a firm win by most metrics, took out everything that tried to down it and then only finally went down after having its already pitiful aerodynamics completely wrecked by having other planes tangled in its structure... and then it was still mostly flight worthy after the resulting crash
It's been something like five or six years since I last visited the channel, and while I certainly miss the excess of wood and brass steampunk shenanigans, I'm glad to see that this is still the place to come for engineering and electro swing with a side of homebrew aviation. You guys were part of the reason I opted to pursue a career in engineering myself, so it's good to see you're still going strong.
Peter, your content is always amazing! Your grasp of all things technical and physical seems vast and growing with every post. I have enjoyed your knowledge of RC's and your interaction with Flight Test and other web entities. Thank you for your insights!!! Live long and prosper....
Due to the amount of sticks holding up the wind the sticks cause a lot of drag reducing the speed of the aircraft. This is a real factor of old time fighter air craft in ww1 planes, the planes didn’t fly as fast as intended because of the bar holding up the upper wing/wings on the plane.
I lost my first plane yesterday. I'm so disappointed and depressed about it. It was special to me as my son painted it. A perfectly calm day, and it just started gusting, and at the same time I lost complete control and watched it power away over the city from the park. F35 lightning II. I'm going to write my phone number on all my planes now. 😢
Peter, I know you’ve been messing with ur video formula and spacing so I just wanted to explain: something about this formatting sent shivers as a long time viewer. The slo-motion footage of your model flexing around 3:00 was really well complemented with the scenery/ electro swing vibes, I think these scenes should be a main staple!!!
As a single wing pilot, I've never given much thought to biplanes, UNTIL I helped rig a biplane ultralight. I'm also a builder, and savvy how roof trusses "work", and when the final cable on the biplane was tensioned, I couldn't believe hadn't realized the inherent amount of strength in a biplane design. Top and bottom wing 4' apart? Thats a 4' deep truss, and wire brace is very strong with min weight.
I have a few experimental ideas: 1) omnidirectional aircraft similar to ADIFO (can fly in any direction, even side to side) 2) A quadcopter that's as quiet as possible 3) A plane that maximizes payload while minimizing thrust (blended wing body?) Also, that landing at 10:42 was beautiful
Been watching your show for many years, haven't seen them all but love all ive seen. Thanks for everything you've posted. No one else comes close. 👍👍👊.
I would like to challenge you to make a 4 rotor plane with tiny drone motors attached to each of the 8 total blades, and that would be its propulsion. Have each of the blade mounts be able to rotate 180 degrees fore and aft and some software for flight controllability. Have the aft props be pushers for better capabilities.
Always start too nose heavy. If you don't have elevator authority to get off the ground, you have a safe fail condition. If you start too tail heavy, you get off too easy and then you possibly don't have thrust or elevator control to keep from going unstable. Good piloting getting that first flight back down.
You can tell it has nose weight because of the way the wings stick off the rear of the actual vehicle in the nose protrudes out. All aircraft must have a little nose weight so the center of gravity must be slightly ahead of the center of Lyft.
I was amazed, seeing this in combat! I was hoping Munch would come in for a snack, but an Ercoup did the trick”coup de grace.” My tiny trainer took a look, but was frightened off and lived to tell the tale.
Peter, you never fail to deliver at Flite Fest. That was truly epic. I love the way you get all those kids to build these crazy planes with you and then watching them hack them up at the end is so satisfying. Can't wait to see what you bring to Flite Fest 2025.
Have you ever done a rc plane that can scoop up water and put out fires? (This one already did a little bit of scooping up water by accident on the lake...)
I screamed every time planes hit your flying rack 😂😂😂😂 and that "helicopter" around.... You guys were show makers that day. Somebody crashed in Ca and it went down? No! It landed with TWO planes stuck in its wings!!!
I've been watching your videos for years and I need to personally thank you for inspiring me to start my own RUclips channel and make complex projects. Thank you @PeterSripol
More lift equates to lower flight-speed & take-off-speed; for trans oceanic flights, the journey on such a plane would barely beat a cruise-liner without a head-wind: for luxurious long journeys that practically loiter in the air, like a blimp, its totally fine, if you're not commuting, just leisure-flying for the sake of being aloft, there's a nitch.
Lift vs drag. So it depends how much force you want to use to push it through the air. In theory there's no limit on how many wings so long as you also have enough motors!
Hey Peter, here's an idea for a future video; make a simple, backpack/strap-on (minds out of the gutter!) personal autogyro, using a paramotor engine or even possibly an electric setup. Build a simple frame, with the smallest blade diameter to safely fly, and a lightweight rudder. You could make it RC and test it with a dummy, buster style!😂 That would be super sweet!!!🤩
The cg must be in front of the center of lift so the positioning kinda makes sense, if you average the lift from the wings it will be in the middle so placing the cg there will not work just like with a normal airplane
I am increasingly certain that "everybody stands in a field and flies their model aircraft into each other" is the greatest sport ever conceived by mankind.
Every time I see your footage of the ABSOLUTE CHAOS of the FliteTest festival, it ALWAYS reminds me of one of AirforceProud95's old videos where EVERYTHING has gone to shit

The exact same thought went through my head
@Yugemostsu same too! lol
Same
Yeah, I also thought about how the ratchet itself isn’t balanced and is probably heavier on one side than the other
I had the same thought!
Next time: a transparent plane. Made with perspex or something so it just looks like some electronics flying around.
Wonder woman's invisible jet type of thing
Yeah but that’s just a cosmetic thing, not as interesting as making something fly that you think shouldn’t.
@@Sashazur If it's very, very large and what's inside it is interesting then it could look pretty surprising.
Didn’t the Germans in WWI make a plane with all glass panels to be stealthy, but it ended up being super flashy in the sky or something.
Sorry it will not be transparent cause the total reflection after certain angle

It's funny..when an engineer talks about details...everything just makes sense and obvious.. I build boats and always interested to hear the navel architects explain how the dynamics work..
The middle / rear wings are in the downwash from the front / middle wings - lower aerodynamic angle of attack as you move back.
The simple way to look at it is: they are all equal wings spaces equally so they are effectively one square wing. In standard wings, the CG is 1/4 to 1/3 from the leading edge , so the CG should have been 1/4 - 1/3 of the total cord from the leading edge. Just like a normal wing.

@@SynchronizorVideos pitch was garbage because of how long the effective cord is.
Fun fact in italian Ca 60 can be roughly translated to "cago" wich is "im shitting", that caproni was a master troll
lmao that’s perfect
Pretty sure it has a similar meaning in Spanish as well
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought it translated to CALX?
It reads "casessanta" and what you wrote is...well...male bovine manure
My kids recognized the plane design right away because The Wind Rises is one of their favorite movies.
Truly a classic Miyazaki film

When Peter mentioned the "giant demolition derby in the sky" I half wondered if he was describing his own personal heaven.
Some planes can absorb damage. Yours absorbed airplanes!

10:44 that thing landed like a VTOL
That is what i thought
Due to the amount of sticks holding up the wind the sticks cause a lot of drag reducing the speed of the aircraft. This is a real factor of old time fighter air craft in ww1 planes, the planes didn’t fly as fast as intended because of the bar holding up the upper wing/wings on the plane.
More lift surface also equals more drag. This means you can generate more lift as slower speeds. But you have a reduction in efficiency and top speed.
I lost my first plane yesterday. I'm so disappointed and depressed about it. It was special to me as my son painted it. A perfectly calm day, and it just started gusting, and at the same time I lost complete control and watched it power away over the city from the park. F35 lightning II.

Would love to see a series where you make scale RC models of failed experimental planes
What would happen if you lowered the center wing by 1/2? It looks like that would give better airflow across all fixed wing area.
1:23 MASTERFUL landing. As a KSP player, I was extremely impressed. Also, it wasn't a failure! It's tenacity is inspiring as heck.
I have a few experimental ideas:
1) omnidirectional aircraft similar to ADIFO (can fly in any direction, even side to side)
2) A quadcopter that's as quiet as possible
3) A plane that maximizes payload while minimizing thrust (blended wing body?)
Also, that landing at 10:42 was beautiful
video idea::: make an airplane with reaction wheels instead of control surfaces??? you will need a separate reaction wheel for each axis of rotation.
Been watching your show for many years, haven't seen them all but love all ive seen. Thanks for everything you've posted. No one else comes close. 👍👍👊.
Plane³ was actually awesome, so many wings that it kept recovering from collisions.
“We’re going to exploit child labor to build this plane” caught me off guard 💀
Discontent rises
Awesome! Always happy to see you back with the FliteTest crew! Thanks for sharing!
Balancing an aircraft is much more than CG. Finding the correct moment is key
Survived multiple mid air collisions. Took out several planes in the process. Pretty solid tank for the derby.
absolutely
Man everyone got more hits on your plane than I thought! Pleasure sharing the airspace with you during the final sendoff🫡😎
"She was beautiful...just like the wind"
The call of duty zombie screams when destroying the plan is hilarious! Love your crazy builds Peter!

10:45 this landing was impressive as hell! some VTOL action with some help from the strong headwind
The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.
if this had more wings it probably would have been the last one standing.
As someone at Flightest commented, Peter is expert at flying contraptions that just shouldn't fly! This one had more success than the original.
Fun fact: The caproni ca60 had two pilots to control the front and back of the aircraft and they communicated via a complex system of lights.
The resilience was remarkable. It took multiple hits and still kept flying. Just couldn’t keep flying with two planes catching a ride Great job👍
man these events will be such a core memory for those kids
That thing looks like 36 box kites with a motor and cardboard hotdog holder on the bottom. Great job! I love watching your stuff.

Back in the day they didn't have high tech wind tunnels or super powerful computers to calculate loads when making planes...they just winged it.

I'm just glad the weird dream plane from The Wind Rises was a real thing
“What are you sinking about?…” one of the best commercials of all time 😂
birds have one pair of wings. It's all about the load-bearing surface and frontal resistance. single flap is most effective.
The Wind Rises has a great scene of it flying
This and the ceiling fan are the most ridiculous things in the air and it's absolutely beautiful and hilarious.
You are right, the biggest RC CA 60 so far. You have proved the plane was a terrible idea. Loved the demolition derby.
