Cletus just found your channel this week. I am a 76 year old man that you have just blown away. Just love your channel from helicopter flying to RC jets you are just as the kids say totally sick. So much enjoyed the pure fun you have. Thanks again!!!
Stick around man if you like fast cars, trucks, helicopters and planes and overall a bunch of great content, you might've missed the LS powered Sand Rail he bought awhile back, took it to the dunes for some long high speed wheelies, and then put some tracks on the back and skis on the front and took it into the fresh powder.... those were some sick episodes, welcome 👌
Cleet is a real American icon. I'm not exaggerating. In 50 years people will remember this guy's legacy. Race track owner, an actual good driver, team owner, content creator. Wholesome man that has helped several others in business and content. He's a one of a kind person. Look how happy the people around him genuinely are. Not staged fakery, reality TV. Just some guys having a blast in life. Inspires us all at any age to stay "young"
@@coryhueske5245Also a little surreal being that I have seen REAL Jet's crash almost the same way, and have that delayed explosion/fireball... Crazy how close to the real thing they are.. Although, they kinda are like the real thing, only electronically controlled and smaller.
I was wondering if it could be done. It seems like it would be easier in a way, but I have only done RC cars a few times and am an equipment operator here and there so I"m used to running lifts and excavators backwards (my preferred way to walk them any distance) but with the stakes of crashing a plane, it seems like first person would be easier but also cool as hell, maybe scary.
Now all you have to do is by a second hand F-18 Hornet from the Navy, when they have a Black Friday super sale and fly it like you did the model jet ! 😂 ….. (I’m serious!)
There was some dude who was talking shit about George on other videos. Idk what kind of piece of shit you need to be to hate on George or anybody from this channel. They are all great!
What a cool jet! You are living every little boy's dream! We never grow up, the toys just get bigger and more expensive. Energy management is the same struggle in bigger planes too as you move to faster and more slippery birds. If you bounce off the runway, you have excess energy (speed). Cutting power back at the right time and nailing your approach speed is the magic that makes or breaks a good approach and landing.
Is it that rare to have a wife who doesn't micro manage the bank account? I mean Cleetus did build the empire and he's the king. It wouldn't be very sporting of her to not let him enjoy it.
@@hotdude655Honestly, because all of these things are being used for RUclips, they’re all basically just business expenses which makes it a lot easier to spend the money on stuff like this. As long as Cleetus doesn’t absolutely destroy the plane, he’ll be able to make all the money he spent on it back with the RC videos. Plus I imagine there will be some comedic footage of Zach hooking up the new receiver and everything. Also, I *really* hope Cleetus doesn’t use a Spectrum transmitter for this jet. I’d be using something like the radio in the video (the make and model of which escapes me at the moment) or a Jeti.
Its not that difficult to do, especially if the object you are filming is basically stationary. Any reasonable FPV "drone" pilot could do that, even me. 🙂 Good light and a sunny day really helps with getting a good image too.
@GaijinGamerGirl Precisely how much of this do you think is unsafe? They're at an airfield built for RC jets, being instructed by an experienced model jet pilot. And don't forget the usual feild they fly at, is right between the Freedom Factory / Braedenton Raceway and Cleetus workshop facility, they fly more then we see.
@@mattsrcking you made an impression, thats for damn sure! That was some of the craziest shit Ive ever seen 🤯 I cant even imagine how much fun that must be to fly
Wow, good job Cleetus. I flew RC for years and that was not an easy plane even for an experienced flyer to just jump on the controls and land like that.....very nice.
glad cleet is flying rc in sota, this is my passion and home since the 80s, i live by the freedom factory and praying i can fly my freestyle drone around their one day without cops or problems lol keep the rc videos coming. love from sarasota ~KrispyFPV~
Hey Cleetus check out the fpv setup for those you can fly it like you are actually sitting in the cockpit and they have head tracker goggles that will let you look around with the camera so it is almost like a virtual reality headset but it’s the jet your flying so bad ass
Can’t believe rip is gonna have another ripper with him soon! So crazy how cleeter manages all this and still is a family man ❤ I think I’m over done sometimes I can’t imagine him. Major props to him
My heart almost sank, I thought he had got into a jet wash like in TopGun for a second, I thought no he's lost it, BUT the guy was absolutely show boating within the first 2 seconds...he was Maverick, Iceman and Jester all rolled into one
The camera man is why I subbed. He has that crazy energy. Imagine having your biggest fan filming you and constantly giving you support in comments. We all should have someone like that.
Matt's crash at 1:55 truly is hilarious. I know nothing about flying RC jets and am SURE it's not easy. But still - that crash was comic book worthy lol.
41:15 this needs a dyno marlin wrap!! Literally has the pointy bill!! You could call it the red marlin because there’s already a white & blue marlin so this would make the red white & blue baaaaaabyyyyy💪🏼
Crazy fun power to weight ratio had that thing off the tarmac in next to nothing time and distance. That first run was like the first time watching the Blue Angels but with that “never know what Might happen” edge. Super Cool!!
The delta wing supposedly can have a much higher angle of attack on landing than a wing with less than 30° sweep. It also generates humungus lift at those high angles. This is only useful in landing. But at the high angles (15-20 degrees) it also creates humongous drag. So a go around can involve a slow transition to safe climb configuration. But something to experiment with on landing. All the residual thrust probably makes it trickier to set up for high nose landings. Deltas are a breed of their own. Then with the canard, that throws in another element, which may negate everything I just said, as it controls the stall angle. Have fun. Cool machine.
what a freaking nice airshow ... good skill ... wish you a long time of fun with this jet ... and a hope that no one of you become a heard attack while landing this beautiful beast ... greetings from GER ...💜 knuddel 💜
32:50 That was the closest-to-destruction of anything we saw in this video for sure. That thing had to have taken 20-25 G's at least in that sudden rotation upward. The camera didn't capture all of it but I was stunned that thing could thrust vector that fast, let alone survive it
@@omgmyspleen3582 You are right, but it had been sweet if it was either the Typhoon or the Gripen so we Europeans could enjoy air supremacy in the US 😁
Reptile is a Drone Company, you should try two things on this build, 1. Go 3-4S see what’s longest flite, 2. Put a 70mm with 30-62 motor 8-12S & MORE FPV
Just OUTSTANDING!! Great video shots too! I'm an old RC builder/flier from back in the middish-80's up to about '90 or '91. The RC jet engines were just starting to make their way into the hobby and until then, RC jet builds all used ducted-fan engines. Anyway, I had to reluctantly leave the hobby (S#@^ happens), so I never got a chance to get to that point... That said, I have to say that I don't care if there's an RC plane that can go 450 mph. If it hasn't got landing gear and liquid-fuel engines at the bare minimum, it won't impress me in the slightest. I'll take a 150 mph, liquid fuel plane with gear, lights, great paint job, and all the bells & whistles, over a stripped-down, 450 mph, sheet of aluminum any day! I recently saw a huge F4 Phantom RC with two giant jet engines, (liquid-fuel, of course), that included everything! Is was built in extreme detail and won 1st place awards everywhere it was shown & flown. I mean it had it all; slats, flaps, drogue-chute, speed-brakes, all the lights, drop-tanks, etc., etc. and it was about 3 or 4 feet longer than your beautiful green jet. That F4 even had a pilot and WSO in the seats and they moved their heads in sync with the aircraft's flight operations. The plane had to weigh something like 150 lbs. (or maybe even more than that), but it flew incredibly well! It couldn't go 450 mph but with a build like that, it didn't have to! BTW, would you mind saying about how much your jet set you back? Thanks for the video! Rich
WOW... THIS WAS COOL! Things you can't do with a pilot in a jet 'cause they'd pass out from those crazy G's! AWESOME! I'm a new fan, Cleetus! ✈️ 🛩 😎🤘🎸🐦
Dude, I've been lurking for like 5 years. You are an inspiration!(I'm 42) The definition of living the dream. So glad you dropped out of law school. Show these young guys that dreams do come true.
I miss the flying, but I don't miss the expense, though. I enjoyed the thrill of flying, and the fellowship. When it only takes three seconds to destroy a $4,000.00 dollar airplane, that was the end of my flying. I would rather have a brand new car, than a bunch of little flying accidents. Kudos on your airplane video.
That thing is insane Cletus, nice inaugural flight 🤘🤘 Definitely needs some freedom paint though. Congratulations to your wife on her Valentine's Day gift. Hahaha Take care, ~Jonny5🥁
this reminds me so much of the first time i flew an RC plane, everyone sweating bullets. crazy hobby to get into as a kid. awesome it can give thrills to a rad dude that races crazy fast cars.
Aviation is fucking cool and RC hobbies are the only way majority of us will ever get a small taste of it. I love watching any video with people that have a passion and thrill for RC anything.
Can’t believe Alan and Matt made me do this 🙄🙄🙄
Yall need to invite recklessrides out
You should’ve let George fly it😂
Alan is awesome
I love the videos cleetus!
I'm sure Alan really had to twist your arm buddy😂...
I'll say it again, George behind the camera with his commentary and laugh have made this channel so amazing.
Agreed but the close friendship bonds make it so much fun.
"Dad, what does this do?" Haha
💯 percent
It's cute that George's mom comes on here. jk I agree!
His mood is always so uplifting
Cant get enough of George behind the camera! He has been an A + addition to this channel since day 1. His commentary ,energy, and laugh make you guys a dynamic duo. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
For real… George is a huge W
And his camera skills are pretty great too. These flying videos are a good test of that.
George living his best life meanwhile fasterproms is putting cardboard on a smartcar..
What happened to the first guy though? I’ve never seen him again
Couldn’t agree more 👍🏻
Cleetus, that was an amazing day of flying! I’m so happy to have sold it to you! Can’t wait for more fly days!
😂Maybe not good for your heart. You sounded terrified most of the time. Awesome jet.
*_You guys made for an amazing video, and a supreme day of flying!!! Look forward to more in the future!!!_*
What would be the cost of this jet
Was looking for your channel after this. Hello 👋

Never enough.
Its always a good day when we get a new video... but when its 50 minutes its a great day!
Especially on the weekends
That's what she said lol
Comin in with the joke at the buzzer... It's gooood!! 😂
The clip of the jet crash was too frickin hilarious. The almost on the ground, and the full power nose dive/explosion....it seemed like a cartoon.
I replayed that 10 times and laughed everytime. The little poof of fire at the end is comedic

I have to say, the drone footage next to the jet while hovering was BAD ASS!
Yes it was
Loved it.
Insane
Is there a video with thecomplete drone footage?
@@Nyabennah that would be awesome! Maybe Cleet can put up all the raw video on his second channel? I would love to see that. There has to be more.
George's flying style ("on the sticks" 😂) reminds me of that stunt pilot who acts like a drunk man stealing a plane at the air shows 😂
I think it’s the jelly belly plane piloted by Kent Pietsch. He’s the one I’ve seen at air shows. He loses parts and shit acting like he’s gonna crash.
We gettin drones on weekly uploads now? Ya spoiling the boys out huh
Landing on tow trucks and shit I here you🎉
😂
@@covertdestroyeryes, but the act precedes them
I gotta say, George’s camera work with the RC plane days is very good. That has to be hard and he’s killing it
