- Flite Test - Funbat - REVIEW
Did Chad forget to pay the heating bill? No, That's just Mr. Bixler's way of trying to circumvent his end of the bargain. This week we see Josh Bixler like you've never seen him before, as they discuss a combat plane, the FunBat from Bloodymicks.com. This simple, well designed foam plane is available in a variety of formats. The temptation to put this combat flyer to the test was too much for a few of the crew members. Losing one competition wasn't enough to keep Josh B down. Oh no, he decided to challenge his boss, Chad to a round of streamer combat. Watch this episode, to see what Mr. Bixler will be wearing next week.

I love watching old episodes seeing where ideas were born!
I miss josh scott in the new episodes. bring him back please.
yeah!
Yeah
He's a sound engineer at a church now.
Dad and I built a pair of these out of cor-flute (the stuff that 'for sale' signs are made of). We changed some things; like we made the planes about 50% larger and had a non-tapered fuselage. And they take a BEATING! I have lost count of how many times they have taken a dirt nap from combat (and once from reversed ailerons after a fix). They are just such a great plane. Thanks FT.
@horetiss We use the Canon 5D Mark II for filming, and we use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for editing. Thanks!
You're welcome to go elsewhere. Thanks for the tactful input :)
@PatBALEX We've done a review on the Turnigy 9X! Check out our RUclips page and watch the Episode!
@Ghostmaker1970 Sure! We use the Canon 5D Mark II, and the Canon 60D, as well as the RedRock Micro camera mount rig.
@monboy10 Thank you for the suggestion!
Good review guys. I have several of those funbats and I have to say (I Love them) They are so simple to build and very tuff. They are pretty much all I fly any more because you can make them as fast or slow as you want and still have great control. I thank Jon for this design and will fly it for a very long time. Thank you for reviewing it.
The intro is the best part, bro. Why would I skip it. It's everything I love about this hobby in a 32 second montage of awesome.
I like Josh's Scott's style on bixler
@gbugari Search BloodyMicks on Google.
@gbugari Thank you!
Josh B. said VTOL capabilities. Since it only has ailerons and an elevator, you can't hover, because no rudder, so it would be very hard to land vertically.
Josh, "and Chad yells at me." Chad, "I don't yell at you!" *yelling*
hahaha Chad yelling at someone. Classic.
Really want one of those flitetest jackets!
I'm a polo guy, sorry but thanks for the info! I just really like those kind of jackets. Want one sooo bad but now its warming up :(
I'd buy one...
Nice Video guys, keep up the good work. I got one of these Funbats from our good friend Jon of the BloddyMicks too. Still have to slap it together. Jon did a great job on this plane. looking forward to flying some combat with it too with Jon at Hermann Airport!

You guys should do more of these funny little "just do it" shows. It costs a dime and a minute to try it, and the way you guys bring it, really encourages you to do so on a whim.
Now if youll excuse me, I think I have some TS90's in my drawer and a 1100kv motor somewhere.
Nice show guys, now get out there with some more flyers and battle it out .
Josh quote of the week. "Maybe they'll both go down in flames."
ITS A BLOODY WONDER BEFORE THE FT STYLE WING
Are these guys Canadian? They sure are polite!
+Aram Maljanian Were in Ohio?
+ULTA-CRAFT I think Canton. :D
+Elexo Flyer It is Canton, Ohio.
+famous american loafer Ohio will soon fall to the Canadians
I know this is a five year old video but the web site for the build plans is offline. Do you all know where he went? Is there another site to get the plans? Thank you in advance for your help. Thank you also for all your great videos.
You can get the ''bloody wonder'' plans from the flitetest website. It's almost the same plane
look at the sig wonder, same plane, bigger made out of wood kit, i made mine super light and fited a 5s set up. did about 185mph and snaped the wing cos i made it crap
Nice one guys.
@magicjim11 Its Foam board, Very strong and inexpensive, nice and light too. makes for great planes.
Jon
Great Video, but I am biased. Glad to see Josh S land something. Great Job Josh, Too bad they Sabotaged you again with a dead LiPo. Get the 3rd one built and pratice a little and show them how to dominate the air :)
"Bloody" Jon
Great review again guys definately one to build
G'day flitetest; Would you guys do a video on parkzone T-28 vs Durafly T-28? Both are about the same size, same power setup, and a similar flying plane.
HILLARIOUS! Dat fashion sense.
You guys rock! I'm a newbie and would like as much info as possible on this plane build.
hobbyking no longer sells the motor, wondering if i can use a 2200kv motor like recomended on bloodymicks com
like this one on hobbyking: D2826-6 2200kv Outrunner Motor
Nice Review guys...Hey, have you worked with that Turnigy 9X radio? I want to get it for my F-86 Saber...But I want to see what you came up with...
How old was Bix during this video?? And his kids were probably like 3 and 0 :D :D this is incredible history. Too bad the script was so awkward and they weren't just being themselves, but Bix was certainly trying to be.
@Comfortkingach bloodymicks (dot) com
Love the threads!
you should have made a 3rd for josh scott and had three up at once.
it would have helped him to progress a bit more and much funner to watch
@oli5120 Its Foam board, IMO much better than depron due to durability and price :)
Just my opinion.
Jon
Josh Bixler
What transmitter do you mostly use when flying planes?
Heya flight test. It would be much appriciated if you could send me a link for the motor used for the funbat. As hobbyking no longer supply it. Thanks
you guys must stay the same , if people wanna hear less talking on your vids maybe they must look for a channel with sub titles and so on ,, meaning i wanna hear what you have to say ,, keep talking ,, your jokes makes your channel fun to watch and i believe thers lots of people that will agree,, keep up the good work guys.. South Africa
At least they made videos back then
what about the VTOL you were talking about on that plane
U guys make really awsome ids
Is there another Motor you would recommend for this plane? The one linked seems to not exist on the hobbyking website anymore. Thanks!
Very nice guys!
I dream to have a house and a lawn like that.
BTW: why are you still using Spektrum radio instead of HK or Turnigy?
lol - great outfit Josh B. Loved the entire video---very entertaining!!
@flitetest Thanks,don't know how I missed that one....Now I have to wait for it to get back in stock at Hobbyking...
you should also make a cow head wing for the swappable series
Bixler did get the full get up on. He needs randomly growing face fuzz to complete the look. Haha.
you guys should make one for the swappable series
the links don't work anymore, want plans for these planes
I did not catch the name of the website whre U can get the plans would you Pls let us know?
Hi, great review!
I did one for me but I think that the eletronic I have available is too much, what you guys think:
- Engine: E-MAX 2822
- Prop: 8x6
- Bat: 1.300maH 15C
- ESC: 25A
Do I have to downgrade the eltronic to fly this?
VERY cool bird! Have you tried vertical takeoffs yet?? Nice flying Josh!
josh bixler you don`t look that bad
and nice landing lol
Why KF-airfoil ? ))) For this type of planes it doesn't matter )) Simple flat wing of a single sheet the same aerodynamic efficiency ))) You don't feel the difference. In Russia we call it flying plywood ))
roflmao! I agree. Nice "Flying Plywood". does it really have stable power flying vertical or loops, inverted? looks like good first build for me. Is it beginner craft?
Thanks Stanislav
Scott Frank Yes, it's good for beginners )))
Hello. Can you tell me what type of camera you use for your recordings, and what kind of video editing program you use.
I am looking for a good HD camera, and the camera you use produces good images.
Love your RUclips channel : 0)
Regards from Norway.
this is the funbat. did you mean the nutball? if so,then yes
what is disconcerning? lol never heard of that one
really like that shirt
I plan to build this, but modify to be a swappable. Just wondering, does anyone know if there are plans for a swappable fun bat? Thanks!
Bloody wonder v2 :)
Bloody wonder v2 :)
+Zackery Nguyen k thank you!
What size prop did you use in this video?
Any one knows what kind of foam in this kit ??
My funbat is done COULD U TELL ME WHERE THE CG IS???? PLZ thanks flite test.
Is this good for beginners, with not a lot of space to fly?
Is there an uptodate link for the plans?
I like it how its a Fun-Bat, which it is...
woah those look like sig wonders.
I like chad's sunglasses. what are they?
if you are talking about carbon fiber and fiberglass rods in a plane that you will be sending to combat... basically anything that you are using as structural elements for such a plane is sacrificial, right?
anyone elee notice that it lasted 1:25 seconds? and also if you search the motor on hobbyking it dosn't exist!
3 years ago...
the motor does exist www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=12921&aff=247441
The 2830 is serious overkill for this plane at 210 watts. I fly mine with a 2822 1450KV with 7x4 prop and still have tons of power on tap. More than enough for vertical take-off, and you can use a smaller cheaper ESC with that motor. www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__65236__D2822_14_Brushless_Outrunner_1450kv_AR_Warehouse_.html
the plans download link doesn´t work , some one can help me ?
Im lazy ..will you ever make a kit for this?
Hey You guys are awesome keep the good job!
Two Words....
Funbat.
Swapable.
i would like to try this
Its awesome how Josh always goes:
"You like____, huh? Well buddy...
the link to the motor doesn't work can u fix it please?
Wait! wheres josh in new episodes?
ShowMeDaCarFax 56 He is doing other things, so he's not on the show as much.
Do you have a review for the P-51 in the background?
Can yall do a Funbat scratch build please, it would be so helpful :)
How many channels?
Where can I buy it ? Or ..................uh
Guys please awnser, can a DT750 work?
YEAH JOSH SCOTT, NICE FLYING!!
The parts list never mentioned a RECEIVER AND RADIO!
It doesn't need one. You fly it with your mind.
Frank Pirolo Hahaha
No Josh you look pretty good in that outfit.
Would u say this is a very beginner friendly plane???
he's not selling them individually anymore :( i really wanted one
can you please tell me which websight did you get this plain from
+syed rayan bloodymicks.com - but its dead - you may have some luck via archive.org
youngmangoingwest thanks well where are you from
it look like the old nitro powerd wonders my dad used to fly for combat
Bixler looks better than usual🤣
still waiting on the build for the100mph plane.
Where can I find plans for this
he said "THIS THING cant go over a hundred" and it didnt.
Lmao! You forgot the skinnyjeans!
I don't think it's vertical takeoff and landing, I think it's only vertical takeoff
i thought you guys where joking about the bet!
im building one at the moment
I think Chad should fire Josh for trying to put his eye out with his plane *(
