I started getting into it when josh and josh made the beginner basics series😂as soon as I finished the season I went and built my first plane and brought one of horizon hobby!
you guys do amazing work. your high-end plans cost a quarter as much and preform twice as well as similar options. thank you for trying so hard to make this sport more accessible to everyone.
I built and flew mine earlier this week. Scratch build style. The motor I had on hand was a little underpowered but it flew amazing. Thanks so much for the plans.
Amazing kit, Andres is just brilliant! It is mind-blowing what one can do today with simple foam board. Would be great to see a Video of the design process, how to make choices in 3D that can later be cut out of foam. You guys rock!
Andres is THE FUTURE!! Man, he designs the coolest planes (I wanna see a Hughes H-1 designed by Andres next!) and is so natural on camera, and clearly has fun with it. It really comes across and makes it so fun to watch. I guess I'm building an Edge 540 now. Andres - Hughes H-1. Seriously dude.
This is just plain genius, I can't wait to build it!! I'm super excited to see a little more complex airframe coming from you guys, the others have their place but this is almost as good as balsa! Bravo!
when Josh said " I'd say it could be maybe your second plane " I'm like thanks for saying those words man. yea he did also say maybe so keep that in mind too. love u FliteTest and great job Andres on the plane
I absolutely LOVE this plane!!! Thank you Andres for the design and FT for bringing it to us. I'm now heading over to the FT store to make the purchase. :)
An awesome design, huge congrats on its successful release, its fantastic ! Two things I'd love to see : The P-40 in the background of shot coming out - it looks wonderful ! And of course waiting with bated breath for the 'Porco Rosso' Savoia S.21 !
I watch these videos for the dope planes, but I always come back for those little funny edits like the "deal with it" scene and the scream from the bird of time video
Ein richtig cooles Modell! Hat mein Bruder sich auch bestellt, den FT Tiny Trainer haben wir schon zusammen gebaut und geflogen sind beide begeistert. Jetzt kommt der FT Edge 540. Flite Test ist cool.
Google Drive slash open?id=1UjO-gFzFgtCH4BgXDKUynPMO39cQ65ON I've tried to reverse engineer the plans as close to the design as I could.. Also included RF7 compatible and tested (but tuned by an amateur) model. Hopefully, the folks over at FT can reach a wider audience who'd be interested in using this model..
Lol that was amazing! Also it was hilarious how stefan just kind of popped up with no introduction! Haha! Also amazing save Andres! I'm also omw to flitefest rn! :D
Great video guys (and NO! I won't be doing that "stuff" at home!) Haha I just want to thank all of you for getting me "HOOKED" on building R/C Airplanes...again! It's been over 50 years, and everything has changed so much. Keep up the GREAT Work, and I look forward to making my very own 540 Edge. (I just hope I can "do it justice" in the air!)
LOVE how Anders likes to favor fatter Fuses... Really gives a "non Foam Core Board" presence to his designs. I'm wondering if, with minor tweaking, I could turn this into just a docile pattern flying Plane? I'm Old and Arthritic, 3D is not in my envelope!! But I love the look of the Airframe... Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Awesome guys! I was looking to build a 3d plane about a month ago, and of course the first place I looked into was flitetest. The FT3D seems like a great aerobatic plane, but it's just a little behind the times as far as modern 3D birds go. This is basically exactly what I was hoping to find, and it's awesome to see you guys put something like this together. To anyone out there planning on building one of these, keep in mind that your standard cheapo 9g servos that we all know and love are going to have no chance against the forces required to actually fly 3d or especially XA on a plane like this. You're going to want at minimum a metal gear servo, but I would run a digital metal gear servo that's capable at running at 6v for added speed and torque. 3d flying is amazing and doesn't have nearly the following that it should. Search for "Jase Dussia" to see what a true master can do.
Hey guys, great job!!!! I love that plane. If I'm not mistaken that 3D design was done in Fusion 360 judging by the screen @1:44, could you please comment on how do you export the faces from Fusion 360 to a 2d CAD. Thank you guys for the great work you're doing.
Got into flying with my dad. It was off and on because this hobby is at the upper limits of what my income level can afford. Regardless I was able to get bored of v tail 3ch. We lost everything in a fire, and he died shortly after. Havent flown in 8 years. Now I have enough to do it on my own. I feel confident that I can have authority over this plane in the air, and I finally got my frsky x10s. Can I come fly with you guys? I'm just a few hours from cedar point. It would mean a lot to me. I'll be flying one of these, on one of your 35A radial power packs. I put forth all the cash needed, and I'll even buy pizza and beer for those who partake(not me 5 years). It would mean a lot to me if you said yes.
You know that you could just take the plans(available free because flitetest is awesome) and scale the print up or down for whatever size you want, but tbh this is perfect size. Small enough to fly in a park, but large enough to see.

This is the flight test that got me into the hobby, reminds me of the times where Peter and David were there! Keep this up, it was awesome!
Ditto lol
I started getting into it when josh and josh made the beginner basics series😂as soon as I finished the season I went and built my first plane and brought one of horizon hobby!
Love it! That Edge looks to be the best performing plane y'all have yet released!
Also the most complicated
you guys do amazing work. your high-end plans cost a quarter as much and preform twice as well as similar options. thank you for trying so hard to make this sport more accessible to everyone.
Thanks FliteTest for all you do! SPREAD THE LOVE THROUGHOUT THE SHOP AND LET THEM KNOW RUclips APPRECIATES THEM!!!
Love the look of this plane. I'm still in the beginner stages myself, but I've got my eye on this design for a future build.
Andres that's awesome! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
hey isaac! you are at the top of the comments!!
hey isaac! you are at the top of the comments!!!
Daniel Kezar, really?
yeah! you have the most likes of all the comments!

Andres - Hughes H-1. Seriously dude.
new foamboard planes give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. glad to see these cheap planes always improving
Andres is such a Badass builder, the Ft 540 is going to be the next plane I build... NICE JOB GUY'S...
I wish I had as much space as you guys did to fly, that's the only thing that keeps me from getting into the hobby
Thank you flite test for getting me into the hobby
Excellent, Andres, thanks for the tight definitions and how the plane is made.... and the balance explanation, i'll be buying an Edge now.....
Great to see you all last week. Can't wait to get my kit in the mail and try my first 3D plane! :D
See you guys soon for FLITE FEST!!! WOOO!
This is just plain genius, I can't wait to build it!! I'm super excited to see a little more complex airframe coming from you guys, the others have their place but this is almost as good as balsa! Bravo!
Awesome that you guys are integrating 3D printing into your designs and making the .stl files available.
This is my first plane build and I'm hoping to finish it and fly it soon. Great work!
GENIUS! Absolutely excellent!!! I can’t wait to build this!! Well done, gentlemen! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have been so on the fence about getting back into the hobby, this looks like a fun build
the plane looks amazing! cant wait for the plans to start building!
when Josh said " I'd say it could be maybe your second plane " I'm like thanks for saying those words man. yea he did also say maybe so keep that in mind too. love u FliteTest and great job Andres on the plane
Purchased2 of these yesterday. Can’t wait to build and fly them. Looks amazing guys. More 3D planes in large scale would be great.
Andres!!!! You are the MAN! I love you builds and building style! Keep up the awesome work!
I absolutely LOVE this plane!!! Thank you Andres for the design and FT for bringing it to us.
I'm now heading over to the FT store to make the purchase. :)
Andres!!! that was some reflex "catch" after Stephan give the tail a smack....Awesome skills man
I cannot wait for build plans!
Omg so hyped for Flite Fest! If anyone here is going like and reply!
An awesome design, huge congrats on its successful release, its fantastic ! Two things I'd love to see : The P-40 in the background of shot coming out - it looks wonderful ! And of course waiting with bated breath for the 'Porco Rosso' Savoia S.21 !
Far out, considering how the ft3d flew this is such a different machine, you guys make it look effortless to hover and the flat spin was superb
I reeaaaally wanna make a large version of this plane. Summer goals.
what a recovery! amazing flying
That was a pretty nice catch to kick off the intro!
Wow Andres does some really impressive work.
Awesome flying cant wait to build it and fly it great job designing it.
Thanks for posting the plans!
I watch these videos for the dope planes, but I always come back for those little funny edits like the "deal with it" scene and the scream from the bird of time video
Brilliant job Andres! Waiting for the P-38 SBK!!
I my gosh! I thought it was balsa wood!!! Amazing job! I plan on building this!
Wow this model is sick! Love it! Great work guys👍👌
I’m waiting for the plan ! Great job
Those look sweet can't wight to see one tomorrow
This guy is definitely a creative genius to turn a foam board into a scale looking 3D plane.
Got this today and pumped
This is a beautiful plane :D The trick was quite on the edge.. :P More please!! And have a great FliteFest!!
Another great video. You guys never disappoint. Thanks for sharing and keep doing what you do.
Nice stunt. Currently working on the cruiser. Keep up the good work!
Sick, well played, more of this please and thank you.
Awesome, guys! 😀
That airplane is almost as great as the Tail Spin! 😀
I JUST BOUGHT THAT PLANE SOOOO EXCITED!!
Ein richtig cooles Modell! Hat mein Bruder sich auch bestellt, den FT Tiny Trainer haben wir schon zusammen gebaut und geflogen sind beide begeistert. Jetzt kommt der FT Edge 540. Flite Test ist cool.
I can't wait to start my job so I can save up for this!
Bought the edge 540 waiting for it to come so syked
What an amazing plane! Nicely done guys!
Please give us the original Fusion 360 Plane so we can make the inner part and make it a 3d printed 3d Plane.
That would be awesome
3d print labs has the plane designed to be 3d printed

Great job Andres!!! I would like to request that you PLEASE design a Burt Rutan Pond Racer. Thank you.
Saul
Eyy just saw these in the hangar!
Nice save!
Great flying plane! That's some pilot you have there as well ;-) Big Thumb-Up!
Lol that was amazing! Also it was hilarious how stefan just kind of popped up with no introduction! Haha! Also amazing save Andres! I'm also omw to flitefest rn! :D
Awesome sauce fellas!!!
Ok at last a biger 3D plane!I love Ft 3D but this is a beauty!!
Love it. I so want to build one
4:00 “plane and simple” no pun escapes me!!
Andres is no longer a boy. Andres a maaaaaan
IM READY FOR FLITE FEST
I'm ordering this kit
Очень классные модели! Спасибо что вы есть!
3D is my jam! Looks great!
Wow ! This is not your average foam plane ! Amazing job !
That's great dude I really like edge 540 !
Hey flight test love your edge I had a question where did you get you red bull stickers?
Bought before video finished. Awesome design
Ok, so at flite fest, can I watch all you amazing pilots fly and then just drink beer with Stefan!? 😂
no beer at flite fest! just deer and steer and lear(jets) and tear(s when you crash)
Would love to see some DIY EDF stuff. Some Korean war era fighters maybe. A MiG-15 vs. F-86 dogfight would be awesome.
Great video guys (and NO! I won't be doing that "stuff" at home!) Haha I just want to thank all of you for getting me "HOOKED" on building R/C Airplanes...again! It's been over 50 years, and everything has changed so much. Keep up the GREAT Work, and I look forward to making my very own 540 Edge. (I just hope I can "do it justice" in the air!)
Amazing can't wait.
it looks amazing!!! going to build it asap! looks difc tho. greetz from belgium!
That looks awesome!

Can you guys do a video on how you all painted those planes? Looks like more than just some spray paint on those bad-boys!
GREAT PLANE ! I like it,
Good video, awesome plane:).. the SFG also gives a super tracking in general flying, loooove them;) MaxDK
Awesome bird!!!
This is awesome
Wow, that is hella cool. What a design, and you’re how old?! You got a future, dude 😎
How about a quick tutorial on how to fly aerobatics? Maybe have Andres do it? I’d love to fly like that, but I’m nervous to try it! Lol
Genial ( like always !! ) thanks for this plane !!

Consider it bought!
wow! wow! wow! i like that you did good. keep up the good work . Flite Test your the #1 From Robert Wioch
I'd like to see Michael Wargo fly one of these planes.
Please make the mini version for this! I REALLY LOVE FLYING 3Ds!
You know that you could just take the plans(available free because flitetest is awesome) and scale the print up or down for whatever size you want, but tbh this is perfect size. Small enough to fly in a park, but large enough to see.
I want to see Anders make a quarter scale Sig clipper Wing cub
Seeya all TOMORROW!!!!!
That was amazing 😁👍
