Hey @Flite Test have you ever considered doing a sharks and minnows game, but with rc planes and quads? (Big planes attack little planes with their props)
“Ejector seat.” Take a parachute army-man toy and figure out a way to propel him out of an open topped cockpit either spring loaded or bottle rocket. Seems like a fairly easy and cool idea
GOLF + PLANE = GOLF CUB .... he he he ... So again, you guys own a golf course and make RV planes that drop things. Right? Well I say combine your RV talents with you new home and create RV GOLF. I'm thinking you build a piper cub with a golf ball bomb drop and try dropping the ball into the hole on the green. You can call it a Golf Cub. Get it ... golf club .... golf cub. Love what you guys do along with your attitude towards life!!
Man, this takes me back. I dove into foam board RC planes a few years ago and allowed myself to drift away. I haven't visited this channel for a while... back when you guys ended every video by saying, "We don't have any sponsors because you are our sponsor" (not that I can blame you for accepting sponsors). It's good to see that you guys are still doing fun and goofy stuff.
@@Gavin-qh7li - God has blessed me greatly, thank you. I thought there was nothing worse than a Pagan, and a Troll. But you have somehow managed to merge the two. Keep your marries to yourself, you Godless pagan-troll.
I would like to thank you that you provide your own ad sponsors. This is great because i can skip ahead and continue on with the video and miss the ad completely. Thank you again, Craig
I just enjoyed the Darkwing duck episode. It brought back childhood memories of Saturday morning cartoons. I would love to see you make Space Ghost's Phantom Cruiser fly. Also, a great group build for you guys might be Thunderbirds 1-5. As a kid, Thunderbird 2, (the heavy lift vehicle) was always my favorite! But reviewing pictures now, the wings seem awful small for it to fly. All five lined up at the next airshow would grab a lot of attention! Might make a good episode... Thank you for a wonderful program and keep up the GREAT work!
Put a couple layers of foam inside the plunger to pad the impact. (i.e. reduce rebound off the surface). Between that and wetting the plunger I think you guys have a great sport for flite fest
Your problem was Parimetric Decoupling. A little lower speed and the wetting just put you under the threshold. Fun experiment. You guys are great fliers.
Right at the beginning I was thinking, they need to wet the plunger! You guys can literally fly anything cause lets face it, most of this always comes down to some really incredible piloting skills! Following drone guy skill level, Legendary!
This is like the good old videos the REAL FLITE TEST i love how it is just about having a good time and creating memories. I have been here since you where filming is your garage😂 i dont know where i would be without you guys. You should do a 30 minute build from scratch challenge or a boneyard battle that would be epic.
If you ever do this again i think you could leave the plunger unglued, just ziptied with maybe twice the ties you used, this should make the CG adjustable and due to the friction of the ties against the handle of the plunger it will act like a brake so the stop for the plane isnt as sharp as for the plunger itself. You could also make square vertical stabilizer with an [X] shaped reinforcement under the plunger to sorta make a rest for it so when it sticks it doesnt bend all the way down to make sticking easier.
FliteTest makes so much challenges on dropping stuff, hitting things, etc. It would be so much easier with FPV on the craft. I mean, missing the goal by a mile is fun, but I'd like to see the success story on the channel.
Based on your closing standup I'm thinking you've perhaps entered the Witness Protection Program? I'm running over to my closet to see if I have a spare Lume Cube hanging around I can send your way. 🙂 Nothing like shooting in the dark of December. Great fun and I cheered when you "stuck" your landing.
My immediate thoughts for if you ever revisit this would be to have a target with some give and shock absorbing systems for heavy components on the plane and between the plane and the plunger. Which would give not only a better chance of them sticking but a better chance at multiple attempts. I love the ideas you come up with and wait with anticipation to see what you will come up with next.
I love it! Some of the greatest success stories are born after hours of trying something that ends up into the wee hours of the night! Love the way you guys kept at it and still released the video with footage from the dark hours. Just real. Man! Cool
The miss of the trailer reminded me a lot of the crash I just had today. I've got a field next to where I work so I fly there every so often. Was coming into land and cut power to soon, over shot my final and slammed into the window of my office complex... had some really freaked out office workers.
For CHRISTMAS I suggest a gingerbread airplane dropping candy on a gingerbread house. The foam is the gingerbread and then you can decorate it with what ever you want!
When I started flying it was free flight and then it was galloping ghost RC. My first door seals attention with a controlling mother and you just fluid for throttle and kill it but I have a gas water in elevator and every playing with Add who is built either from scratch or from the kit it’s nice to see builders coming back in although you’ve been doing this for years I was afraid it was a lost art love what you guys are done for the hobby
Fly a snow shovel, or maybe an inverted V plow blade to see if you can cut a groove on landing (you need snow). And maybe have a flying plunger chase a flying toilet? And you need a damped spring mount for the plunger so that the air frame doesn't have to stop as quickly as the plunger rod.
This is awesome. I don't imagine that I'm the only person who wants to see an FPV version of this. Get 3-4 people up there playing a game of FPV darts. Make that happen! LOL

Hey @Flite Test have you ever considered doing a sharks and minnows game, but with rc planes and quads? (Big planes attack little planes with their props)
I want a Pac-Man planes to be a thing please make it happen
Make a large scale paper airplane that flies, taking full use of the 7 fold limit. We're looking at possibly several kg's for this build. ;)
Is this some kind of preparation for Peter's flying flushing toilet challenge?
I hope so
I think so :)
Omg it’s Balu.
When they do it I hope they use toilet paper streamers.
MrTmac1986 they might not do it
This needs to be revisited fpv. I can already see people cringing on approach.
FPV Please! Plungervision Must be a thing!
What
Are you kidding me?!?!? “Planeger”. Obviously planeger is the name!!
Well, I see a new event for next year’s Flite Fest.
Yes yes and yes, I will create my storch v2
My 3m shinden can hold a dozen plungers, so count me in!
Great video. Miss the old make it fly videos
Nathan Knight ok
Wtf commented 1 day ago WTF TIME TRAVELER
@@johnxina6823 Not hard, just become a paid member of the channel and you get them early.
@@thenatedog Weird flex but ok.
You should use FPV and a cross-hair in front of the camera for maximum targeting skills (and cool footage)
“Ejector seat.” Take a parachute army-man toy and figure out a way to propel him out of an open topped cockpit either spring loaded or bottle rocket. Seems like a fairly easy and cool idea
or a CO2 rocket too.
is à very cool project i follow
Brady Smart
My granddad died from cancer. But he served in Air Force, and would love this
I love that idea. You could just add a servo that releases a catch on the spring-loaded seat. I might have to try that on my mini mustang.

Nobody else on RUclips does things like this, you guys are awesome
Bryce H Peter Sripol does some of this stuff
Collin Schofield that is true
Tom Stanton does all kinds off experimental RC aircraft, weapons and vehicles.
Great one guys but I have to say the chase drone pilot is awesome.
Should have had Dent King sponsor this video. 🛩️💥👑
The plunger pulled out it's own dent when it stuck, I don't know Haha.
Maybe the next episode ;)
Love that you have been moving your videos back to your roots, and just having fun making things fly.
For Christmas, you guys should totally try making Santa's sleigh fly!
Santa is dead; his sleigh was repossessed. For the 25th, these nuts should take a break and some much needed meds.
@@gerdawhite6012 You must be real popular with kid's.
Merry Christmas

The fact that you guys were able to get around the aerodinamics of the plunger and make the planes fly is amazing in it self! Fun video to watch!
You guys need to make an alarmclock fly (so time Will fly) lol!!!!
Flight Test videos bring me more happiness than just about any other channel. I always find myself with a big grin watching your creations fly.
"We've been obsessed with taking common everyday objects from everybody's household"
Scotty RC you caught us!!!
End of the line Josh Bixler!
Lol
In that case, I pity the poor fool who tries to make a flying Tampon 😝
"We've been obsessed with taking common everyday objects from everybody's household".
Yes, we have people like that in UK. We call them burglars.
Been watching you guys for the longest. One of the big youtube channels that got me into the remote control hobby. Youguys are awesome. Dont stop.
I think it would have been easier for them to stick if you used flaps so you could fly slower.
So much fun to watch you guys having the best time of your life, literally every episode it seems. So cool!
I'm getting flash backs to the glass breaking vid
No doubts - it was the best 2019 flite test video! Just perfect! Back to the roots - fun, yet simple.
FliteTest - Now accepting sponsorships from paintless dent removal companies.
I would like to thank you that you provide your own ad sponsors. This is great because i can skip ahead and continue on with the video and miss the ad completely.
Thank you again,
Craig
I see a whole new contest developing for the annual flight fest! Make this a new kit. You've started something now!
I’ve been watching you guys for years. Seeing your reaction to that first plunger hit is probably the best moment i’ve seen.
You guys are so awesome!! I recently bought 1 of your planes and a umx radian! You guys are the best!
Anyone else notice how much better Alex looks than he did in the early days! Keep it up alex!
Looks like i need to "Take the plunge" and start flying RC planes :)
I love this channel...I love seeing just the pure unfiltered excitement and joy. It brightens my day.
Just a bit of petroleum jelly and they would have all stuck.

I feel like Josh Scott and his dry wit should be here for this sort of challenge.
Somehow, his dry wit wasn’t ever making for his sour looks
@@ulysses4536 Boo hoo, do you feel better having a whine.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Gavin I’m not having a whine. Are you?
@@ulysses4536 BORING, BORING BORING
NO YOU ARE
Gavin No worries, I can afford that, having your fabulous entertaining commentary keeping this thread alive. Please carry on.
Put a couple layers of foam inside the plunger to pad the impact. (i.e. reduce rebound off the surface). Between that and wetting the plunger I think you guys have a great sport for flite fest
It's obvious! A golf ball bomber! points for close to the flag. Points for the most balls on the green etc..... Thanks Guys
Your problem was Parimetric Decoupling. A little lower speed and the wetting just put you under the threshold. Fun experiment. You guys are great fliers.
Shoulda used FPV and fly slower so it doesn’t bounce! When the plunger finally sticks, you use it to pull out the dent!
I will be glad to get the perfect dimensions and material you used in building these aeroplanes.
Thank You!
Big Fan Of Yours
Sounds like two little kids on Christmas “IT STUCK, IT STUCK, LETS GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!”
dakota jackson you know us men never really grow up hahaha
So true thanks man
Right at the beginning I was thinking, they need to wet the plunger! You guys can literally fly anything cause lets face it, most of this always comes down to some really incredible piloting skills! Following drone guy skill level, Legendary!
IT would be cool to see a small fake Christmas tree with lights fly
This is like the good old videos the REAL FLITE TEST i love how it is just about having a good time and creating memories. I have been here since you where filming is your garage😂 i dont know where i would be without you guys.
You should do a 30 minute build from scratch challenge or a boneyard battle that would be epic.

Also Josh. "Let's get her in the air, not worry about this"
Like most preachers they dont live by their rules they just dont want to be sued
@@mark675 MERRY CHRISTMAS.
GOD BLESS YOU
LOL!
I still want you to build a flying dumbo 🐘 and bring your kids when you do!
A Pterodactyl would be fun too.
Flying toilet vs flying plunger dogfight needs to happen.
ruclips.net/video/1M1nT21mo2Y/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/vHkgWu3wQs0/видео.html
see if they were flying fpv stick they would make the target smaller to make it a challenge
Here's a suggestion try filming during the day so we can actually see what's happening
try turning up your brightness I'm not even at 25% and I see it fine
If you ever do this again i think you could leave the plunger unglued, just ziptied with maybe twice the ties you used, this should make the CG adjustable and due to the friction of the ties against the handle of the plunger it will act like a brake so the stop for the plane isnt as sharp as for the plunger itself.
You could also make square vertical stabilizer with an [X] shaped reinforcement under the plunger to sorta make a rest for it so when it sticks it doesnt bend all the way down to make sticking easier.
“I tRiPpEd On A HoT gLuE sTiCk”
Plunger bombing! Like the golf club plane, only carrying a couple finned plungers that you drop on targets!
You should make a Christmas tree fly
LMAO yeah
They already did... around two years ago. The older Flite Test vids are awesome!
You TOTALLY need to re visit this!! What would happen if you added a print to the back of the plunger, to take the shock? Would it stick better?
Make the most fragile plane ever fly. Like a pane of glass.
Fly a zero
Old school Flite Test creativity!!! Keep it up!!!
New challenge: see who can get it in the toilet first
@FliteTest Put the plunger in a Ju-87 and make this a thing!
FliteTest makes so much challenges on dropping stuff, hitting things, etc.
It would be so much easier with FPV on the craft. I mean, missing the goal by a mile is fun, but I'd like to see the success story on the channel.
When you run out of ideas...
This is the Flite Test we love !
Com'on you guys !
This was so awesome.
Man I struggle to fly anything, yet Josh Bixler can fly an untrimmed tail heavy pig into a target. Incredible.
This was great. Id love to see you guys make a plunger bomber. Have something do a fly by over something flat enough for the plunger to suck on to
thats insane...nice work...Need a plunger dampener system!
Based on your closing standup I'm thinking you've perhaps entered the Witness Protection Program? I'm running over to my closet to see if I have a spare Lume Cube hanging around I can send your way. 🙂 Nothing like shooting in the dark of December.

I love the ideas you come up with and wait with anticipation to see what you will come up with next.
Here's an idea for what to fly next! A flat screen TV playing an episode of your show in the air.
Well being that it's Christmas time...how about 8 rain deer and a slay with O'l Saint Nic driving. And not small scale.
I was hoping you'd make a plunger plane!
Not laughed so hard at a flite test video for a while. Really enjoyed that one. 👍🏼
These videos keep getting better.
I'm always flying low, afraid of trees, I'll play you guys
Keep some plungers at the house, ready for some new players
This was epic! My wife thought I had lost my mind I was laughing so hard!!!!
One of the best RUclips channels ever!
I love it! Some of the greatest success stories are born after hours of trying something that ends up into the wee hours of the night! Love the way you guys kept at it and still released the video with footage from the dark hours. Just real. Man! Cool
I'd like to see you guys build the Wright bros plane

Was coming into land and cut power to soon, over shot my final and slammed into the window of my office complex... had some really freaked out office workers.
Great video guys! You really stuck it to that trailer.
Mario and Luigi approve of this plumbing themed build. :)
Can you guys do a bombing run with paint-filled Christmas ornaments or make Christmas Reef planes
10:02 you can just hear the other flite test guy doing his funny laugh lmao
I would like to see you build and fly a "Magic Carpet". Just like the one Aladdin had in Arabian Nights.
Long live the Versa wing! its such a good design
Guys, have you ever flown the kitchen sink? This seems right up your alley and needs to be done.
Love the slowmos at the end...classic
This was great, a lot of fun. Haha. You guys playing with toys!
New idea: plungers but VTOL aircraft, you have to land vertically on your aircraft’s plumber head
FanTAStic video. It just keeps getting better. Say hi to Stephan for me.
For CHRISTMAS I suggest a gingerbread airplane dropping candy on a gingerbread house. The foam is the gingerbread and then you can decorate it with what ever you want!
Dart and dart board? Bowling ball with pins? Croquet under some loops, ending hit a pole?
When I started flying it was free flight and then it was galloping ghost RC.

It was my first flights were with control line motors and you flue it at full speed with rudder and elevator until you ran out of fuel
Your planes were ether made from scratch or from kits of Balsa wood
Fly a snow shovel, or maybe an inverted V plow blade to see if you can cut a groove on landing (you need snow).
And maybe have a flying plunger chase a flying toilet?
And you need a damped spring mount for the plunger so that the air frame doesn't have to stop as quickly as the plunger rod.
Great freaking video!! I was dying the whole time! Please do more of these type of challenges!
This is awesome. I don't imagine that I'm the only person who wants to see an FPV version of this. Get 3-4 people up there playing a game of FPV darts. Make that happen! LOL
Awesome job, guys!!! 😂
I think you should try it again! But in FPV!!! 😃
I hope to see the dents on the trailer later at a flite fest or something!
adding rudder would have helped to straighten out the plane and ditrcting it to the bull's eye! 👍👏👏💚💚💚
That was absolute the craziest thing I've seen. It was a hoot!
U guys gotta give this another go with more members competing!
Josh, you still remember how to do Autobody work? Those skills are going to come in handy!
