That drone work was incredible during the test flight. Wow
Right!?
True
A great pilot for sure.
Ikr. When it came around the nose of the kraken I was sure the drone was gonna collide.
Ik I was amazed
Can we all just take a second to admire the skill of that drone pilot? Frickin incredible
Lmao
Yes
a regular 3 Stooges of aviation he is,,,,
after the second crash all I could hear was when Josh Bixler used to always say, "before you try something new go at least 2 mistakes high"
The Kraken: takes off
Everyone else on flight fest: Why do I hear boss music?
Sea of theives?
@@AJWnumber77 No, this video. The plane they built is named Kraken.
The kraken has awoken
It looks like an Arsenal Bird
oh no , its Space Kraken son...... , SKY KRAKEN!
Now how come no one yelled “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!”? Seriously it would have been the perfect line lol
Ikr
@@ultragalacticgamer7195 I miss David! :)
xdddd
Missed opportunities
That would be so perfect
We stopped by while this was being built. Thanks to Andres for stopping for a few minutes to talk to us. Good luck in fall!
I did too! Andres talked to me too! It was epically huge!
:)
@@samuelschafer4676 ye
Some notes on BEC / Separate battery use in large builds:
-You never want two BECs connected to the same receiver, without some kind of redundancy system regulating them. That's why Andres originally only used the one from the rear ESC.
-Using a separate battery is VERY common on large builds, both DIY style as well as ARF balsa 3d birds. I recommend using 2s LiFe packs, they're lithium (and thus better than standard nicd/nimh) but the voltage is slightly lower than a standard 2s LiPo. at 6.6v operating voltage, you don't run the risk of burning out servos that the ~7v 2s LiPo has.
-Using a single 2s LiFe is enough for *most* large builds. That is, standard size servos, or a lot of smaller ones, and you should be fine on servo power. HOWEVER, if you really go nuts on build size, you may want to go ever further.
-Here's the rub: If your servos are REALLY strong and power hungry, they can sometimes pull enough amps to temporarily drop the 2s LiFe voltage to unsafe levels. Not unsafe for the servos, mind you, they'll keep working, just with less torque until the voltage returns. No, the issue comes with your receiver: If the voltage gets too low, the receiver might shut off for a brief second, and that time period and the time that follows of trying to re-acquire the transmitter signal can be dangerous.
-In THAT case, you will want to isolate your receiver power from your servo power. This requires using either two LiFe batteries, or one LiFe (for servos) and one BEC (for receiver). On the servos, you cut all of the red wires before they go into the receiver. Solder those red wires together, and connect them to the red wire of the LiFe servo battery. The black wire of the LiFe servo battery can go to any black wire connected to the receiver. Then, the receiver LiFe battery (or BEC) just plugs into the receiver on an open port.
As you can see, this gets complicated quickly. A large build might have as many as 3, 4, or 5 separate batteries, and all of them need to be charged and connected before flight. If you're not confident, it doesn't hurt to use a checklist. Even if it's not written, a mental checklist or routine can save your butt, just like full-scale aviation. Big builds aren't as simple as an average FT kit, but the payoff in successfully flying them is big as well.
Thanks!
Basically 2 batteries, for servos and the receiver, and connect the signal, and ground of the servos and receivers together, and connect the vcc's to the separate batteries
Basically building and configuration like in the old days. Separate battery for your flight equipment since you had a gas tank that supplied energy for the power plant rather than sharing power from the propulsion energy supply
Instant follow. As a drone fan, the idea of air combat with planes was awesome!! Want to see more!!
Aerial combat with rc planes had been a thing for decades! You'll be happy to know there js plenty of content out there.
8:43 "So is that the episode?"
*Everyone in full screen checks the bottom bar...*
7:15 just built a Turbo Tutor, new to flying. I did a Taxi test and it pulled very hard to the left. Thought it was just prop wash but turns out that one wheel was tighter than the other. Thanks for this!
Next time: Make a 20 ft kraken and have 2 fpv 360 rotating bebe gun turrets with people controlling them
20 ft kraken with twin laser beams?
Ha! How about 1 turret and 4 guns in fixed forward facing position. Then name it the Bismarck and blast the song by sabaton.
You and me both
@@1nvisible1 Now we're talking
@@Sigmar_Heldenhammer I like where this is going
Imagine your plane being so big you go down because another plane gets stuck on your wing.
Or maybe a bird or something...THE HORROR!!!
Another planes wing and another planes sreamer got stuck on
@DaFNAFartist
1. Don't act like you've never made a mistake spelling.
2. Losing "a few" brain cells isn't many, but when you have as many as yourself, I could see that being a lot.
Been there done that ALMOST DIED but didn't somehow
No the air turbulence generated by this thing bringing down another plane
Could have never had that many planes in the air with the 72 mhz radios! Got to love spread spectrum.
That's what I was thinking too :)
Yup, same thought!!!
Your giant airfoil was most impressive - one might even say majestic - in the air. Kudos! That's great engineering. - Chipper.
The thing I like about u guys is that even tho something didn’t work u still find ur way around and make it work
19:10 bomber getting chased by several fighters
(war thunder)
THANK YOU!

@@TristanVash38 Look Hans, a flying ship
so true
Laughs in bv 238
@@sterlingbither5866 not this plane bruh thats too much, 58 machine gunners for defence
You should have painted it with flex seal so you can say THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE
Lol
It would be too op
Hahahahahahaha
Flex seal is to heavy
Then he would be phil swifts best friend
Dudes. That was a thrill. Entertaining! I was really feeling with the plane builder...
Best Episode ever, just watching the pain of learning, is so humbling.
me: sees giant flying wing with epic music
my brain: *ACE COMBAT 7 flashbacks intensify*
Dude arenal birds on the highest difficulty
its come full circle! i started FPV with Flite Test, and now im flying in an episode!
Forget the wheels, just use skids! Less weight and works fine on grass.
The wheels make perfectly valid weapons in combat, to be fair.
@@squidlybytes , true.....
@@squidlybytes well skids can pierce a plane if you're lucky lol
@@thomas-nk7kx and then it gets stuck to the skids and then they crash
Leave the wheels alone! but get rid of all the ruber (tyres and inners).
And so the Beast flew. "The kraken" Some called it. The mortals devised a new weapon to combat this beast, but even that...was not enough. Many brave souls fought this battle, and many died. Until one brave soul, sacrificed himself. To the beast he stuck, sapping its energy until, finally. It was forced to land, and limp it's way back home. Unkilled, but injured.
Story time 😊
F to respect this brave soul
But now we are prepared! We have taken into knowledge the power of this great beast, so we shall fly again into the beautiful azure skies. Untouched by the kraken whom will return weak, for we shall soar with a new champion. A new warrior! That shall conquer the kraken, and shall slay it, returning unscathed from their perilous journey.
The beginnings of a true epic, much like Beowulf...
F
18:22 it’s so funny to watch those little planes bounce off your plane 😂 😆
Dude that drone piloting to get that air coverage is freaking amazing!!!! I flew drones in highschool for film class and could never do something like that. I love how he was able to fly in front while the other plane was flying. Soooooo impressive.
Park the drone on the kraken and fly it then take off mid air
8:23 Captain America hopped on that Hydra plane and said "Not today!"
you guys should build a giant UFO to contribute to the Area 51 raid joke 😂
So much this!
this is a pretty good idea mate
Complete with joke body bags...
I think there is only going to like 4 people there
It's no joke
The sheer heart break when it crashed I felt that
Al of that was incredible! Both pilots were fantastic but I gotta day that drone work was amazing. Made that thing look majestic flying through the air. Pretty cool
*plane splits in half* NOW THIS IS POD RACING!
Still recognize that footage at 0:47, from them good ol'days
That was the best
Reived
Those were some good days
Me too
"Flight engineer onboard to control the 3 motors"
Yes! When I flew Stan XL last year (0:25), and Stan III this year, I had a copilot, or I guess flight engineer would be the more accurate term. The model profile for Stan in my QX7 had 4 "control inputs" through the trainer cord, tied to channels 5, 6, 7 and 8 from my copilots DX8 transmitter. These inputs were then used in the special functions menu as channel overrides, each overriding one of the throttle channels (each motor has it's own channel) to -100 and thus "killing" that motor. If a prop or motor (let's say, #3) got damaged in combat, I could yell, "Kill motor 3!", copilot Jon would flip a switch, and that motor was no longer active. It's also useful for troubleshooting power system issues on the ground, I can run one motor at a time without having to undo wiring.
Stan is absolutely EPIC!!! Hope to see one in person next year.
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Nice, did you find out what caused stan to suddenly go down in that one combat? Also jow was it not destroyed🙃
Loved the horn this year. It was majestic.
Relentless is the new name for your crew ... Am just watching this on twentieth of June 2020
Am flabbergasted by your insane team members enthusiasm ...guyz you rock
Loved it Guys , Well Done. And Thank You ☺️
Your videos help me through my depression. ✌️
1: i'm disappointed no one said "release the kraken"
2: 16:00 "Red Baron" by Sabaton plays
HIGHER!!!
the king of the sky he's flying too fast and he's too high!!!
HIGHER, An eye for an eye
The legend will never die!!!
It's bigger than the Kraken so Andres gave it a new name... And "Release the Krakerlaken" doesn't sound right :-p
THAT was one of the FUNNEST videos I have ever watched, grinning & laughing all the way through! You guys are the best! Excellent production, video & audio as well, full-on Professionals! After seeing how much fun this is, I am going to build & fly something for next year Flight Fest!
Tht was awesome! I was impressed with his determination to rebuild. Its hard to get that after the 2nd and 3rd try. Very cool
Your joy is contagious, and infectious, !! Thanks young people with some brains.
I wanna see a plane that can land the FPV drone on it while it flies
Rraptor1012 check their archived videos 😉
Mr Steel did it on a different 11ft wing from Sweepwings called the Onslaught! Check out the video
A mother ship 😮👌
Aircraft Carrier, but in the air XD
peter sripol built a helicarrier like that...
should build one with a razor sharp titanium strip on the leading edge, fly though the swarm at full throttle and watch it rain plane parts
heck yea.
Acdentaly cuts someone in half
Or fly through New York.
Is that allowed?
Ugh change your profile pic
what kind of miserable people thumbs down such great free content? lol great vid to everybody involved! Long live the kraken!
Fat thumbs? 🤷🏻♂️
Big Purv I think it’s that andres don’t know how to fly
People with no patience or interest in RC hobby/flying 😅
Trolls. All different kinds. Ignore the number, it means absolutely nothing.
I didnt but maybe since all the content is of JEREMY now basically?????
That was awesome. Put a big ol grin on my face! Good work fellas!
"I'm thinkin bright red"
Me: Red baron?
AntiCharizard ah yes, finally someone who respects Imperial Germany and possibly Nazi Germany.
Bork I don't get it
I'd like to see an RC "Megafortress" from the Dale Brown "Dreamland" series of books. Picture a B-52 with a V tail, Concorde nose, and wings stiff enough that they DON'T sag to the ground at the wingtips.
Ayyy reading one of his books right now
Just seeing you all fail at first, then really succeed in the end is real inspirational! Keep up the awesome content Flite Test!🔥🔥
Yup
Dude that was en epic battle! Love the tbs chase footage! And i saw Peter and Chad! This really made my day! Thank you thank you... it means alot to me....
First Hit and Run I've seen with a flier.
It was glorious.
I know not technically a H&R but w/e.
welldone to the camera drone.. some good quality driving done there!
Could have mounted 2 tiny motors with propellers on the landing gear for that bone chilling stuka diving sound
Napert360ggTGpl ahh yes the Luftwaffe returns
Awesome....best part was when the little plane that tried to take you out - got stuck on your wing like a bug.
What a gratifying episode. I love watching you guys overcome problems. (And it's a little gratifying to see that even the invincible Andres struggles sometimes! :P ) Great sponsor partnership, too. I love the idea of the NXP Hovergames. I hope the outcome improves the world.
Oh man, that footage from the follow camera plane is great!
This has got to be the best thing I've ever seen! I think 4 or 5 planes struck him and it still didn't go down. Awesome.
Pls make a b-17 that shoots and has working turrets that can aim but are controlled by different controlers or have no turrets or turrets that point in one direction and are just there to look cool
This is perfect!
Yeah dont forget the bombs though
And the escorts
I also think they should remake Whiskey 7 for flight fest 2020
dude that would be sick, control operated turrets with a little camera for shooting! Like a gunner, and even have a camera with sights that is fixed to be able to drop a missle from yet another control... like a bombardier xD that would be fuckin awesome.
the mega Kraken is like a human while the little planes are like a bee swarm trying to sting him.
It looks so durable... almost like a fortress but in the air. A flying fortress so to speak.
What a lot of fun! Nice job guys!
them: TEAR IT DOWN NOW!!!!!!
kraken:thanks for the high five guys keep em coming
I would totally bring my A-10 model that was a bb gun.
Yesh
YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING
*has
A10 I heard?😳
Taylor Lin
Attack the D point!
Thanks for getting paint on my new white goblin andres
Andres giving up on life each time the plane crashes lol
Just like me
Great job guys. You all are great friends and make a great team. Wish I had great friends like you all growing up. Cherish your beautiful friendship and continue to support each other through life’s journeys. Bless you all.
THE DRONE SHOT ON THE THIRD ONE WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!
now you guys need to add weapon hardpoints to the Kraken. I can see it being an aerofort, with turret wells and a bomb hatch.
And make a twin to fly alongside the Kraken. Call it Baron, as the bright red can be used to commemorate the king of the skies in WWI, Rote Kamfliger, otherwise known as the Red Baron. And they'd both be well-deserving of that title given how sturdy the Kraken-class aerofort is.
Looking forward to some ducted fan action with that B-52
oh my god that's a god damn battle airship
hey guys, desinc here
you kind of have to hand it to this feller
I did not thing desinc would be here

Omg the drone pilot is amazing! 13:00
You Had Me At Airplane Demolition Derby Take My Time Please LOL!
Great Video! Was It Low Battery Issues That Landed The Plane Or The Air Plane Stuck To Wing?? It Was A Monster In The Sky!
I don't know where Andres is going to school, but they're getting a super intelligent student!
Sean Grisez idk man, experimenting with turning the back motor on when it was two feet off the ground wasn't very intelligent and his reaction says he knew he f'ed up.
Still a great episode, we've all made silly mistakes.
If you happen to see this...OSU! Go Bucks!!!
You know that scene in Avatar where the dude flies in with the biggest badass dragon/pterodactyl? The Kraken is like that.
"Last Shadow" --- man, should have painted that along the wingspan!
Felt more like the big shuttle from the movie. The one that had all the explosives in the final battle. Just cruising through the battle.
Tarouk Makto?
Ah a fellow yankee.
@@Grevlain 89
Good luck with your career man loads of love and support
That looked like a real fun project to work on. Big aircrafts FTW!
One of the most insane things I've seen. Like a swarm of mosquitos up there.
This was fun to watch, and remember Anders "transfer the wiggle to your knees"!!! LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the fun guy!!

Flight Test should do a world tour and make the UK one of the stops 👍🏻
Yes!!
I stood and applauded your success guys, absolutely well done as well as inspiring to future builders, just wow!!!..Subbed and belled
I got chills watching the flight fight 😆 I enjoyed every minute!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼✈️💗✈️✈️
You guys should try and make the "Arsenal Bird" From the game Ace combat 7. Its kinda like this build, but still different.
Hell, I’d love to see any of the original designs from that series
Fasten EVERYTHING onto the plane using velcro! Then you can stick it all back together!
That inflight drone footage is INCREDIBLE! Man, things have come a long way in such a short amount of time.
great work, nice to see it work. hate that it's going to get destroyed
I haven't seen so many flying things together yet, and I haven't seen such a big home-made plane at all, great job guys. XD
Hmmm. I wonder if dude perfect will steal this idea too?
Proabably
Landon Childers they already have
That will be a first because he never copy’s any body
It pales in comparison. Can't even watch that channel. I'm into RC, not into all the extra shenanigans.
LMAO 😂 the last 2 seconds of this video is the funniest part ever!! The time is at 20:30, and it was so unexpected that I almost had hot coffee come spitting out of my nose. Considering that I had just taken a sip of coffee right before this video ended. Genius whoever put that slow-mo ending clip at the end of this video. “Transfer the wiggle to the knees”!!! 😂😂😂😂 hilarious guys!
_Flite Test Demolition 2019:_ A BIG RED FLYING WING versus EVERYTHING ELSE...😝😝😝
Cooooooool
Super cooool guys!!!! Makes me want to pull out my old eflite and start practicing again!
The successful third flight literally brought tears to my eyes
So you made a sweepwings onslaught out of foam board. Awesome build either way though.
Instead of the bike wheels, save some weight and use a bungee launch system
Landing?
@@sawhite27 what about landing..?
That's easy, land on the corpses of the downed planes after combat
This is the pinnacle of human achievement. What more is there to accomplish?
I´m an Air Traffic Controller and the images I've seen will be on my nightmares for years...
Great vid. Problem solving was cool to watch. Superb drone footage. Hope to see more.
So awesome, especially how you uh were able to land after taking that hit. The only thing this is missing is a post-battle damage analysis
You should of tied a net on the back to catch other planes
Lol that would be great
should of
Just make the net detachable so it doesn't drag the Kragen down!
should have
What about drag?
On something this big, I bet you could put a 'not a flamthrower' to roast your opponents.
Budum chhhhhh
Temperature Adjustment Devices?
I wish I could go to flitefest. But at least I can buy kits off your store and have a solo flitefest!
I am so jealous of your facilities and all the fun you guys have!!
This is so cool thanks for sharing . Wish I was there
