This looks so awesome! Please invite Adam Savage and Tested next year. He has mentioned that aerial DD is something of the most fun things he has done and I would love to see a collab on this :D
I'm totally onboard with this idea. Think about this, CBS! A fullblown mini-season of FliteTest/Mythbusters collaboration. Can you even agine the carnage?
@@Thatssocool9100 I was thinking of a design with internal edf's. now that I think about it Peter's leaf blower plane could be an option. (well, the intake of the leaf blower with a edf)
i think this "glassed" design is a big improvement but i think you should mount the props at the trailing edge of the wing so you can ram other planes without causing prop damage.
I've been toying with this idea for a while now. Any thoughts are welcome. I was thinking along the lines of a large ( 1.6 meter), lightly loaded foamboard wing with a pair of 4s 64mm fans. Already have one from a crashed Arrows Marlin and simple enough to order a match from Hobby Zone. What are y'all's thoughts?
I was just thinking that, some way of shielding the props from hits and even stuff like the string, assuming thats within the spirit of the event. I am guessing its meant to be more for fun than "being the best". I'd love to see something like a Do-335 in the FliteTest foamboard, that would be a beast of a plane speedwise
I flew a duct-taped covered Bloody Wonder in every combat I could, supplemented by a mini combat winning mini Sparrow. At the end of Flite Fest, I scrapped the Bloody Wonder, but a family in Tennessee grabbed it and it flew again! My Wonder became a Versa Wing, and it's looking for a re-match with the home built that took it down in epic fashion. Best part of Flite Fest: Foam carnage!
My 2 or 3 cents: Mount the Props in the wings, in armored nacelles Armor the servo and connectors with pvc Include a stiff spring in the servo connection to dampen any impact on the control surfaces, Lastly make a 4 engine design, with pusher and puller engine providing primary thrust, and key the side engines to provide up to 50% forward thrust, but up to 100% when using them for yaw control
You should put fuses in those individual motor pod circuits. The string loaded that motor down to the point the current (Amps) spiked and the temperature reached ignition. Use a fuse to survive!
@@bowmanzz1 So was that a defencive device you added or just string you forgot to take off of something? I'm no expert on RC plane fighting but is that string a common thing?
I loved when Kraken took down that big plane, so easy with fiber glass. Maybe EDF despite it's lower static thrust would be reliable solution for carnage, especially with fiberglass case and protected intake. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
You guys should make an SR-71 Blackhawk or an F117 Nighthawk rc plane. I used to fold paper airplanes, I'd come up with the designs myself for many of them, my most proud work was a perfectly replicated F117 and an F4 Phantom.. did that when I was in middle school.. good times.
Its not possible to build nighthawk. IRL this plane have fly-by-wire, cause he's not possible to fly without them. If somebody'll build, it won't fly. Its phisicly impossible for human.
You guys are great. Is there any way you could do something related to crimson skies? Its a great zep- punk style aviation themed video game/pc game. The planes featured in it are cool, not to mention the zepplins they take off and land on.
I'd say go to pusher props but maybe 4 smaller ones with small vertical stabilizers above and below the wing inline with the engine pods.. That would at least lower the chance for the string entanglement. You might also consider one extra layer of glass on the leading edge.
Since now u guys have new members of the team, its about time u did another challenge n see who comes up tops! Design a small plane (smaller the better, no plans or pre cuts) from 1 foam board each and use the smallest motors u got. Have some mini fun after all the monster builds 😂
I know it sounds crazy BUT superglue + black contractor trash-bag = indestructible. Y'all might also try an "Isadora Duncan" defense by lightly attaching strands of 4lbs test trout line to the tail to foul anybody sneaking up from the back...
instead of sanding do a test piece where you wipe the surface lightly with acetone, enough to wet it and evap dry quickly. I think you find a new fast and better process. try a test piece on plastic also you will be pleased
I would love it if you could make a concord fly thay have a bad reputation but im shure that you guys could make it happen and would make an amazing addition to your store

@@felixbui9818 no
Great job, josh heres an idea next time do folding props on front and rear that way with impact they fold and are able to take the impact.
Ducted fan units instead of props
@@divelizard1966 EDF props are very fragile
@@JaasimMulla internal edfs would be fine
@@Thatssocool9100 I was thinking of a design with internal edf's. now that I think about it Peter's leaf blower plane could be an option. (well, the intake of the leaf blower with a edf)
That was a pretty solid hit. Not much would have withstood that.
i think this "glassed" design is a big improvement but i think you should mount the props at the trailing edge of the wing so you can ram other planes without causing prop damage.
Try a ducted fan Kraken Juggernaut. That might make it even more hit resistant.
You'll basically end up with a H0-229. I see this as an absolute win. Would twin ducted fans provide enough thrust though?
Shesssssss

I think it might just run out of battery. EDF's don't last long

this was so much fun to watch I'd love to be there in person
Love the combat! Suggest putting 80% of the glass along the leading edge because it's very difficult to get a solid hit in the back.

Mount the Props in the wings, in armored nacelles
Armor the servo and connectors with pvc
Include a stiff spring in the servo connection to dampen any impact on the control surfaces,

More of these adds! Emax participation on this video is superb! Alleluia!
Video idea: try fiberglassing a 3D printed plane, it’d be cool to see how strong it would become 👍
or print a mold, fiberglass that, and have a 100% fiberglass plane
Truly an EPIC crash-n-burn! Done with style👍👍👍
Man it was so cool keep on doing it guys love it
Wow truly awesome we’re down in the best way in flames what a spectacle thanks so much for sharing
I fully was not ready for that first plane you took out to be so cleanly sliced in half!!! That was gnarly! Great video guys!
You should put fuses in those individual motor pod circuits. The string loaded that motor down to the point the current (Amps) spiked and the temperature reached ignition.
Use a fuse to survive!
Always great videos. This Old Man from North Carolina really enjoying. Love you guys and what you are doing for our Hobby. ✈️😎💝
It looked like the stealth B-2 Bomber! good job I love it!
You guys should make the turbocat from SWAT KATS
The kraken is back in action!

I am so glad I slapped that string on before I got airbourne

Hellooo!!!
Can you please do an A-10 Warthog vs A-10 Warthog dogfight? (The one with the bb machine guns in it?)
That would be SICK!!!!
LOVE U GUYS!!
Let’s push to make this happen!!
Perfect shot of Lee and Nick with the extinquishers!

I love the heavy use of the word carnage here 😎
Amazing work...👍✌️💐🤝🗺️👽

The SR-71 Blackhawk is one of my favorite aircraft of all time I hope they build it.
Well achshuleee the UH-60 is the Black Hawk, and the SR-71 is the Blackbird.
@@Xiphactinus close enough, it's been years since I've done any real looking into airplanes, I'm surprised I can still remember the numbers.

Flitetest forever
Ahh, just found this channel. What a treat. 😊
Your plane caught fire. That was epic

Please make a Monster Series F4 Phantom RC sometime soon!
Happy independence Day for all the Indians here!!
That was crazzzzzeeeee!! Very cool!!! Looks like that streamer was on there for a few!!!
Yahooooooo!,!!!!!!!!
This channels videos are insane
Best Fight EVER !!!! Wish there was a "Super Like" Button!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone notice how absolutely EXCITED that young lady was during the build? She could hardly contain herself! 😂
what it would be like to recreate historical air battles.
Looks like a lot of fun! But why is your wing not a pusher?
Lol the big plane splits😂😂😂
That was Fun to watch!! 😊😎✌🏻👍🏻
Just a tip, Small paint rollers work 10 times better and easier to apply glass and resin.
That was pretty epic. Two plane kill like a boss both times 👌🏽
Now I have to A) Build a plane and B) Come to Ohio and participate in this event. Mad fun!
VERY VERY entertaining! Awesome!!
Great video as always!
And a little tip; You guys should use mask while messing with resin and fiberglass.
Flite test: we're reviving the Kraken
Ace combat community: (symphonic battle music begins to play)
lol yes
It looks an immensely fun day 👍🏻👍🏻
What an epic crash 💥
Was that an A10 that did the second takedown?
Looked pretty solid for a modular fuselage.
You guys are great. Is there any way you could do something related to crimson skies? Its a great zep- punk style aviation themed video game/pc game. The planes featured in it are cool, not to mention the zepplins they take off and land on.
Imagine showing this to an old school pilot. Their eyes wouldnt no what theyre seeing haha

You, guys, are crazy 😂
Wow this video hasn’t been the most popular
happiest place on earth if your gonna ask me
I love these combat videos!
Glass Kracken
Awesome.
9:33 there is a batplane! so fun
Happy summerween ! ☺
That is the ARROW design of the DO 335 - the fastest piston engine fighter of WW2
2 motors in line
And not the mustang ;)
Amazing!!! Still loving the content guys.... keep it coming!!
U need to stock ur stuff in the UK too 😂😂
Do it with tanks and planes at the same time!!
Just put some mini paintball guns on it
love the new website! but i was looking the other day for a twin engine and couldn't find the free plans. did you take them down?
On the desktop site, scroll down past "newest episodes" and "recent articles" to find "latest build plans"!
Just a pusher version would have lasted longer 👍 great video 👌
i love it. so friggen wholesome. great event.
Awesome video guys!
13:52 - Evil Josh comes out. Lol.
I know it sounds crazy BUT superglue + black contractor trash-bag = indestructible.
Y'all might also try an "Isadora Duncan" defense by lightly attaching strands of 4lbs test trout line to the tail to foul anybody sneaking up from the back...
It's so hilarious guys 😂
Imagine a flamethrower turret on a giant kraken
this was cool
Y’all going to make a kit for a proper 1989 Batwing?
Beautiful
That looks like so much fun
Let the magic smoke out.
That catalina in the background looked awsome
Awesome!
When is this derby every year btw? I might try to lern how to make a plane and maybe join in a few years
Appreciate the TKOR tee shirt (;
Thanks guys you rock! Love the channel and content keep up the great work! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
13:54 that laugh! Diabolical supervillain style 😆
I have a suggestion you should build a B-2 spirit
Is fiber glass ok if you put it in the water. Building a helicarrier drone. Also is it heavy or light?
That was dope!
Would it be elligal to mount a flametrower or some hard projectile weapon?
1:28
When your girlfriend comes over to hangout but you were installing something on your car and don’t really wanna stop
That thing was cutting through airplanes like a buzz saw who knew that a string would take the kraken out
instead of sanding do a test piece where you wipe the surface lightly with acetone, enough to wet it and evap dry quickly. I think you find a new fast and better process. try a test piece on plastic also you will be pleased
since you guys made a P51-D I thought you guys should make a P40 Flying Tiger
I would love it if you could make a concord fly thay have a bad reputation but im shure that you guys could make it happen and would make an amazing addition to your store
Smallest swept wing craft possible!!!!! 😎
Amazing!!
Wish this was in Florida
I like this, good project.. Maybe next time i can watch on RUclips, someone build flying fortress, put bb and defends it from another planes attack
What about ducted fans mounted in the back or even the middle of the body or a big ducted fan with wings with a protective grill in the intake?
When it went down all I could think about was the beginning of the six million dollar man
