I've been 3d printing for 5 years now and tried a lot of different brands of filaments and Colorfabb has always been my favorite! It's just very reliable and has the best feel and appearance. The white pla is my choice for lithographs.
have you tried prusament? if you do you like it?
@@henrigrotkamp I love my Prusament, but I am going to test some ColorFabb now.
Sadly i'm just a poor middle schooler so the best I can get is $15 amazon filament but it does the job.
@DANIEL DEWEESE thanks I will definatley try that!
I miss this channel, I used to watch it years ago and it's so nostalgic to watch it again
Exactly
You can't miss the monster warbirds! Check them out
@@matteotivan3414 yeah I've just seen those and there crazy! I ould never see myself building one
FliteTest: It's free.
Me: Can I borrow ur 3d printer?
and the receiver, motor's, props, batteries, and spare parts.
Or you could design, test, change, test, redesign, test, amend, test, scrap, design v2, test, change... rince and repeat... yourself, and then fly what ever you come up with.
The design is free. No one ever claimed that you would get a RTF setup left on your doorstep.
@@LeftFlamingo OH? Like the thumbnail that brought me here that clearly states "FREE 3D PRINTED PLANE" in English text? Yes, they did. Try again.
This is like those bogus software offers that say "Free download" but then try to charge you to use the software after you download it.
@@Doggeslife I guess you're new to the internet. Welcome. It's an interesting place.
@@cmdraftbrn and the high cost of the materials. see my post above. $80.91 for 750g shipped.
Head banging music is a little over powering & irritating! IMHO
I agree! It's a D I S EA S E that seems to infect a lot of you tubeers these days W H Y do people ruin their content like this? Nobody likes the musak.
Title: this plane is lighter than air
Definition of an airplane: a heavier than air forward flying vehicle.
Hmm....
I just watched the review of the Baby Blender from many years ago. They quipped "a flite test blimp would be cool" and I saw this and I thought: FINALLY! But no. They didn't build a "plane" with helium bags in it. Oh well. Some day. Maybe I'll have to do it myself.
my phone broke today no pun intended!
Not free either. That filament is not cheap ($$) and you need a 3D printer ($$$$) to make it.
@@TheCSRTech poo poo to bad :/
@@ericstephany7305 And nanny nanny boo boo to you too.
Guys, I think the music is a little too loud, it's like technical chatter in a club. A little difficult.
Great video otherwise!
Just like almost all videos on youtube
Tenet effect :(
Agree. This was hard to watch. Shame. Content was great. Didn’t understand a word.
Also rhythmically disruptive and harmonically discordant music isn’t great for background tunes. (First song in particular)
I’m a muso, I’d love to Share my wild taste in music too.... it no one cares. Sad but true.
Please repost fixed.
I agree, the music is pretty obnoxious in this one.
awesome video! thanks FT! Turn down that background music please.
I'd agree with this in a lot of RUclips channels. This video didn't seem too bad, however, I have the "voice" channel on my Polk sound bar turned up pretty high because I got sick of having the same issue on almost everything on youtube. Shockingly some stuff on other channels is STILL to loud, probably completely unwatchable for anyone without that feature!
Turn the background music down! Can hardly hear what you're saying.
Please turn the music down guys. it makes these videos almost unwatchable.
I agree
To noce the music.
ur mum!
yea please
Why did you make me notice :(
Try wearing latex gloves when flying in cold weather. They help to keep your hands/fingers warm and you can still feel the sticks and switches on the transmitter.
This is such a fantastic idea thank you!
Yes I do that too. I prefer nitrile, they're more durable.
That background music 😱😱😱
was way to loud, and annoying
@@samuelkrajc Noise, bad noise
I was just back from flying and this video popped up😂
Same
Wow it's so much snow there. I wish it would snow like that here. I live in tn and it hasn't snowed like that in a while here. I live the snow.
@jam cowell yea. We are expecting a big cold front to come threw next week. I hope it snows
@jam cowell yea we are supposed to get up to 16 inches of snow Monday. I'm ready for it
Guys can you please be aware of your sound compression. The "background" music is washing out speech it was distracting to me.
Great video, but turn down the volume on the music please.
Interesting idea: to demonstrate how easy and quick it is to get back in the air with one of these planes, intentionally auger in, which would start the clock, and then reprint out the parts needed and rebuild the plane. It could also be a test to compare regular PLA and LW PLA in terms of durability. Maybe do a test with PETG or TPU as well.
Assuming I can get my hobbies in order, I'll be printing this out of PETG and it will be my very first plane. I'll try to remember to report back.
@@MrPinusMonticola Awesome, thanks! I plan on making the plane myself at some point. Not sure what material I'll use though.
my guess would be... 200 hours or so on a complete frame loss. At least with my printer since the old Tarantula prints slow.
Nice build. Music was fine until you were trying to talk. Kick it down a notch or two please.
I don't get what was wrong with their talking?
@@brsrc759 music too loud while they are talking
@@ILLEagle_1 I didn't really notice but now that you mention it you're right
@@brsrc759 It didnt really bother me but I can see what people are saying too. It would be a simple thing to change
@@brsrc759 music was too loud to hear well.
when background music takes over 😱
Printed, assembled and maidened the free version last week, with PLA fuselage and LW-PLA wings. Flies absolutely great. Slow and fast, little acro, no problem. Dropped an Arduino Nano and a few WS2812 LEDs into the wing. Looks great due to the opaqueness of the LW-PLA and the internal structures. Somewhat like a dragonfly wing.
The music is too distracting. I'd rather hear no music at all so I can better understand your narrative.
Yep, the narrative plays such an important role in the video’s.
Can you guys make a video on 3d printing tips and techniques? This technology is finally becoming wide spread, and all we need for 3d printed planes in the hobby to be a success, is a thorough tutorial on the 3d printing process
Hey! How about making an air-to-air rocket! 🚀
Launching it off of an RC fighter jet. Shooting it at another RC plane
FAA has entered the chat
Name it gme
Thank you guys at flight test you have inspired me to get back into making planes.
Because some people in the comments asked. Here are my personal experiences with this build.
I am using a "Ender 3 v2" with simple black PLA (from Verbatim) (Ender 3 or 3 Pro should work quite similar).
Still in construction, but looks promising.
Created the gcode myself from the STL files with "Cura". Make sure to stick to the instruction page about the layer settings. My biggest problem was the bed adhesion. Fixed it by using a brim on some parts + blue tape.
Estimated costs (related to Germany)
~ 220€ - Ender 3 v2
~ 15€ - Filament (~600g)
~ 20€ - Small stuff (ruberbands, rods)
~ 200€ - Electronics (did not puchased the cheapest (stabilizer + telemetry included))
+ remote control (already exists)
- 2 weeks of printing (in spare time).
- 2 months already of learning how to tweak 3D print settings (printed 3 parts twice because I was not satisfied with the result (most likely temerature, print speed and fan speed adjustments)).
So it is definitely not the quickest and cheapest way to start into the hobby, but I had a lot of fun already with my 3D printer.
And as long as the electronics do not brake, I can easily repair everything for almost no cost, just some time and effort.
any update on the plane? How did it fly? Did it break?
LWPLA is amazing.. one thing to note about the pla version. On really cold days.. We needed to leave it in the sun to warm up so it wasnt too brittle. The plane flies amazing with lwpla
First flite test video I’ve watched in like six months
I can't take the "background music". Why do U need it? It's just super annoying. Sorry.
Didn't even know there was background music as I can't hear it over the foreground muzak...
Love it. I’m definitely gonna build one.
Side note. You guys need to back off on the erratic music, it’s almost unwatchable wearing headphones. Too load and random
“Loud”
Game changer for the industry.
Excited to start printing my own and trying out designing.
"Lighther than air"
Impossible...
It's possible aerogel with hydrogen is lighter than air I think
@@tristansimonin1376 But thats not what light weight pla is made of
This will not be the last time you will be lied to. The author of this video’s title is likely a democrat.
It's not impossible because he didn't specify the amount of air it is lighter as. One cubic meter of air has a mass of 1kg so both those planes are indeed lighter than 1 cubic meter of air.
Love it! The music was a bit much though
Printed the fuselage in regular and the wing in LW-PLA. That's seems to be a really good combo.
Would love to see you take on the YF-23. As always, great video!
I agree ,the music is a distraction! Just flying and talking is perfect!
Thank You for providing the free files. I'm almost complete on printing everything in PLA + filament and the parts are beautiful using the provided gcodes. Thanks for making this possible. Keep these designs and videos coming.
WHO WANTS them to come up with cool new planes made of foamboard that we can then make ourselves?
@Ordo Militaris Radio TV I agree with you colleague. They began to make just entertaining content, while earlier there was educational content. Probably a crisis of the genre (
What I'd like to see personally would be flitetest models that have both foamboard and printable versions. Foamboard for those that don't have a printer, or want something that's cheaper to replace in a crash, and STLs for those that have the printer and/or want the extra performance. A video comparing them would be an interesting watch
3D Printers aren't as expensive as they used to be, by a long-shot. Even my $150 Tarantula could print one, and that's cheaper then a nice radio. They've fallen in love with 3D printed air-frames because they've got the same performance as commercial models while still costing way less.
@@DFX2KX I've already come to the conclusion that I don't want to make light planes. They do not have enough space in the fuselage, it is very inconvenient to place electronics. Still, the practical use, as opposed to a few minutes of flight for a RUclips video, is a different thing... A light aircraft is a problem in windy weather and a small battery capacity, hence either the inability to fly at all or a small flight time. Yes, you can come with a backpack of batteries, but not everyone is comfortable.
Her is a challenge, make an rc plane that can carry one of you guys!
Impossible
Red bull flugtag
Thats a good Idea
They already did it
You mean “make a plane”
Thank you for the wording you used when mentioning the weight difference. It's not that one is necessarily better than the other, it's just different. Unless, of course, it's too heavy to obtain lift. LOL
Another advantage I see to the 3D printing is you can print it in different colors and save time painting.
Well, You have finally convinced me to try my hand at a 3D printed plane and I love it. Keep the excellent work coming folks!
It always makes my day when I see a new FliteTest video. :)
Omg thank you for the free files 😍 🙏🏻
This is a great video, but damn I'm watching this when it's dark and my dark-theme-adjusted eyes didn't appreciate all of that snow
Started printing one the day the video was posted. Haven't been in the hobby for a very long time, you guy's have inspired me to get back in. One thing you didn't point out in the video was what motor/ battery you are using in this build...inquiring minds would like to know. Happy flying and keep doing what you do
Just imagine a 3d printed DLG, that would be amazing! I know that composites are always the go-to material for F3K flying, but being able to 3d print out a wing, tail feathers, and a fuse would be a dream. Although there would be a lot of problems with torsional stiffness in the wing as well as having to probably lay some form of carbon spar and obviously a carbon boom, I think the price you pay to print off everything would be much cheaper than buying an outright new plane.
The axle roll rate was impressive I kept waiting for the lightweight pla plane to just disintegrate I was waiting for both of them to disintegrate really but I'm very impressed I think I'll be getting myself some light weight filmament to play with.
Wow! That’s really cool. I heard you use a your creality printer mainly but which one do you use? I need to know how you make thes planes do well!
Another winner!!! Josh has a new up and coming pro for a video partner. Love it!!
The snow looks so majestic! Nice job guys.
Wow nice, love the video
U are first
@@creepysplatter9260 yeah but sometimes when I say first people get annoyed so I decided to edit my comment
If I can get my channel half this large I'd be made. You guys rock. I need this scratch build its awesome
The launch mode in the Aura5 is simply amazing. I use it on several planes and I get a lot of compliments from members at my club.
The planes are cool but just look at Edgewater... Absolutely stunning with that fresh and pristine snow
Got my print pretty soon😋 Cannot wait😁
120$ per kg for the Lw-Pla. Just saying. Ouch.
But you can recycle thé pla
No no... free. Read the clickbait title.
@@scryan10 😂
😂
But it uses half as much material so technically the same price almost
Great video guys!! Thank you!
Amazing video! Great work, once again!
The LW-PLA kinda feels like cardboard to me but def. lighter! Worked really well for the EGW-80!
Would be interesting to see the weight differences between pla, abs, petg, and the lw pla.
Great VDO! And nice front ground music!
Swap the wings between the two versions and see how they perform. The heavier one with the light weight wing may be a good combo
I am putting one of these together right now. I am super excited to get back into the air with this model. It has been a loooooong time since I had a controller in my hands... wish me luck.
I like it!! Thank you. Combines both of my hobbies!!
I really hope FT starts designing planes that combine foamboard and 3d-printing. Foam for wings and fuse sides. 3D-prints for cowling, cocpit etc. It's the perfect combination.
Larry: And your RC is *FREEEEEE!!!!!!!*
You're killing me Larry!!
Awesome video guys 👍 waiting for good weather here in the UK 🇬🇧 but may try sooner after this vid..
Great looking and flying plane! Super impressed with weight savings on the light weight PLA.
What did you guys use for internals of the planes. I love the design and am interested and want to get into RC Planes
Love the video
Flite test Im watching you and your team from 7 years... Huge pray for you and your team❤️.can you please make Antonov 225 mariya plz ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭❤️❤️❤️
I just came in after flying my champ S in the front yard, and saw the notification for this! My day is turning around!
Cant wait to print this, haven’t printed a RC plane because all the free versions so far didn’t look promising enough until now with this video. Going to have to figure out what motor to run though
I find it so cool that your son is an intricate part of the team. Usually kids despise what their parents do for a living
YES FINALY A PLANE I DAN BUY THX SO MUCH GIYS
Thank's for the free version Flite Test!!!!! Noa did not break that one :)
thanks for sharing. More please, can't wait to see new concept planes.
Great Stuff, our family 11, 13, 15 Y/o have all built foam trainers and been inspired to scratch build foam board planes. We have also crashed plenty of them as well :). 3D printed a few, but they come apart like a wine glass on concrete in a hard crash.
If I may suggest bringing the background music down a touch, it is a bit loud over the voices at the end of the videos.
Some suggestions would some more common house hold items to use like 2-liter bottles, or even an empty soda can (perhaps as a motor mount?)
A plane that collapses into its self, like a kid's expanding flashlight sword would be an awesome, and compact way to take a plane to a field.
Sir we request you to plz teach us about flight controller , return to launch , co-pilot , filght stabalizer that stuff plz
Love the plane and can't wait to send the parts to a friend so we can build them together. Sadly I will have to print them in abs so🤞 Great video guys would love to also have known what glue you were using but I'm sure my loctite for plastics will do just fine. Thanks again for the video!
Great planes and fun watching you build and fly. I was wondering, whether some fun snow projects are in the queue. You definitely have the right amount of snow for a lot of crazy projects. Any kind of foamboard based snow smasher would be fun to watch.
Thanks for your content.
Checked out Edgewater park on the GPS. What is that crazy bright flare in the middle of the parking lot? I love that you can see the labels on the ends of the readi-runway
Have a nice day
Nice! I'm not familiar with 3d printers, whats the ballpark of cost in filament for the regular PLA version? And how long does it take to print?
You could probably print the whole thing with one kg of pla (if you use MH build, you’re looking at about $20). It’d also most likely take a day to a few days to print (non continuous). Good luck!
Roughly how much in PLA/lightweight PLA does one of these cost? Say for instance it was crashed and the air-frame was destroyed but they electronics were fine how much would it cost to rebuild?
I’d love to see a video on the 3D printed EDF Vulcan. 3D printing is coming a long way!
I loved the music! Screw the haters! Keep it up!!
FliteTest is so generous
I challenge you to try and fly and see who can land the shortest distance. Basically a harder bush plane challenge. I point to Alaska where the wind blows so hard that it is possible to land a cessna caravan on a dime
I also printed the free version of the model , but was disappointed that there was no landing gear with it. so i went along an designed one myself.
thing: 4857591
I don't know what to say this was unbelievable (the best ever)
So you did the fiberglassing of the foam board, which was super cool. But how about the benefits of fiber glassing PLA?
Great video guys. This Old Man loving it. Always ready for the next one. ✈️😎💝
You guys are Awesome!
You should turn a snow shovel into a wing and make it RC
As always, you guys are awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
Do you ever connect the wings to the fuselage via a magnetic strip? See if there is a magnet strong enough to hold it together but then in an accident can pop off?
Hey guys I love you videos can you guys build huge mq-9 please
Great video as usual. The music at the end overpowered the talking though so maybe tone it down a tad during dialogue.
Metric weights (grams)!!!! Love it!
Great flight tests
Stoked on this vid
love your stuff thanks for all the plans and Ideas!!!
Which electronics (Motor and ESC) did you use in the plane?
