    Today we combine our love of building, flying, and designing into a fun episode that you can do at home or in the classroom. For over five years, flite test has worked hard to bring aviation into schools. Today we have over 10,000 students actively participating in FT STEM. Just a year ago, we introduced a new product that enable students to learn how to build, fly, and engineer their own RC aircraft. The FT Tenet was born and has been one of the most popular aircraft we have released to date. Today we are taking all the feedback we received from both community and educators to create a V2 built out of a brand new more durable foam material. We also decided to include 2 complete fuselage configurations which enables you to build and fly two airframes with just one kit. Today we put the final touches on this design while holding a fun design build off to see who can get the most creative with the FT Tenet.
    Model aviation is an incredible tool to both educate, inspire, and connect. Our goal is to make that experience as fun and engaging as possible.

    I used to be an RC snob.... Balsa, fiberglass and carbon fiber planes... No foamies ! Until I flew a couple of them.... They are affordable, replaceable and very fun to fly and crash. Keep up the good work ft and thanks for sticking up for the hobby.

    • @FliteTest
      @FliteTest  Год назад +16

      Thanks for the kind words brother! Welcome to the family!

  • @WindCatcherRC
    @WindCatcherRC Год назад +7

    Having resilient foam helps the newer people spend more time in the air and less time building/fixing. Great to see Flite Test moving into a foam that helps people fly more often.

  • @RoboTekno
    @RoboTekno Год назад +11

    12:20 Thank you for speaking more about the FAA and the burdensome rules the FAA had put on us and on this hobby for almost a decade. We need more CBOs (Community Based Organizations), like FliteTest and the AMA, to help us claw back the unrestrained freedoms we once had to fly.

I'd like to see some more videos akin to the old chair plane challenge or the bush plane spot landing challenge. Oh, you could even recreate the Patey/Red Bull Dubai landing.

    Yet another great video. I did an article on the Tenet...I love that plane. It flies so well and is so durable. Every once in a while an airplane design proves to be really excellent, sort of beyond what you might expect. That is the Tenet. Thanks again.

    @BendeRosa12 Год назад +3

    I want a version with the double wing angled. I like biplanes. Maybe even with a dual motor. Or the option to do dual motor on the wings, and one motor on the fuselage. I have so much stuff laying around from planes. I crashed, that I can build it with the stuff that I have. Just need the foam. I work with a youth group, that I think would like this kind of stuff to build together.
