They didn't want any Go Pro mounts on the aircraft :( They have to fly an aircraft every 6 minutes or so and didn't want people looking for Go Pros I have to assume!
I remember when you guys first got started and man have you guys come a long ways.I couldnt think of a harder working more dedicated group of guys than you and its nice to see it all pay off.Congratulations on the RedBull win and the milestones.It just goes to show that hard work and true dedication can still pay off.
Congrats on the subscriber milestone, and more importantly the flugtag victory. MIT was a worthy adversary but you guys showed them the value of experience. How many aircraft has your team members built, flown and crashed! You guys rock!
If you have a team with a lot of money, they'll think twice about spending a lot if they don't get it back to improve on it or perhaps use it at another event. It kind of equalizes the teams a little.
That's one small hop into the wild, wet blue yonder, one giant leap for Flite Test! Congratulations on 1st place and half a million subscribers. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of guys.
Congratulations!! Its a great feeling for me to realize that the you tube channel you have followed for more than two years, the channel responsible for which you are attracted to a whole new hobby wins at this prestigious event and you were following it making from the begining.
Man! You guys kicked MIT AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS' (all the profs, all the facilities') Asses! You should be very proud of yourselves. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys
FANTASTIC! That was the best flying machine that I have ever seen in this contest. You guys are aeronautical engineer geniuses! Put that award on display so we can see it every episode.
+FT Impulse Nailed it. My cousin went to MIT. Campus is littered with people who shouldn't be there, but for one reason or another are. Don't get me wrong, there are brilliant students at MIT. But there is a very large crowd who shouldn't be there, and the faculty and smarter students don't do much about it, because of political correctness. His tuition basically went to pay for free education of foreigners and AA candidates, who just turn around and leave America after getting their free degree and contributing nothing to the economy. Or they go into government work with limited demand. Globalization and inclusionism are ruining America.
+thechosendude The only respectable top college left, IMO, is Caltech, and its demographics are proof... 61% male, 45% asian, 27% white. That is essentially what I would expect based on ACT score distributions (Male Asians>Whites>Everyone else, especially in math & science). By the way, I doubt all that many foreigners get free tuition or don't belong. One of the reasons top colleges have so many international students is their elite nature, both in terms of wealth and schooling. Rich Asians & others in lesser numbers enroll their kids in top prep schools in South Korea, Japan, and China, then send them off to American top 20s. And yeah, Trump 2016
The video quality has really sky rocketed. Love how stable the video is while walking. Good job guys, next step, 30 minute TV spot on discovery channel! DO IT!!! 👍👍
WAY TO GO GUYS!!!!!!! I have been watching your build and I knew your aircraft would glide better than most. You guys make us fellow modelers proud. I am a modeler from way back, control line though, still we are brother in arms when it comes to building. FANTASTIC job to all who took part. That was a team effort for sure. CONGRADS!!!!!!!
Well, it has being a bit of a disappointment, rly. What was the distance they covered? It seems that a glide ratio was around 2? You could expect some flight (not fall) from the glider built that well. And some might dislike pokemons, for instance. Anyway, congratulations to FT on win and having a good time on an event. Hope next time they will fly too.
Unfortunately, the limitations do not allow any more for teams to use a cart higher then 5 ft or have a wing larger then 24 ft. Plus, for safety precautions they shortened the runway platform 50 feet after the first 8-10 planes because of the headwind...Better SAFE then SORRY they felt...and it was the right call. Just was tough for most planes to get any speed at that distance. GREAT TIMES though and thanks for watching and supporting us guys! Blessings, S.O.
FliteTest Well, that's what is ruining the whole Flugtag thing for me. I do not see weird planelike sculptures crashing into the water very entertaining and the rules are more and more suppressing real flying things.
True statement Motherbrain! We felt that with a bit more speed we probably would have hit 100+ feet. OH well! ;) Life happens! Thanks for watching!! S.O.
I laughed at seeing the Ed, Edd N' Eddy Radio Flyer... awesome callback to that team to one of the episodes. And congrats on both the historic win and the 500k subscribers! You guys deserve a lot more, and I'm sure are more to come!
Awesome flight and very fitting timing. It's been a blast hanging out with you guys for what is probably 3 or so years...wow. You guys have taught me everything I know about flight :) Keep it up!
Congrats guys! For both the win and 500k subs. You all deserve it. I also really like the editing in this episode. I hope to see you guys back competing next year!
The launch at 2:47 got me thinking. Would it be against the rules to use the weight of the cart and some kind of arm as a lever/catapult launch system so that the cart falls off the edge and helps push the plane forward.
NICE JOB!!!! Seen you guys grow so much over the years and look at you guys now! You are internet stars with a successful business and it is very much deserved, Great job Flite Test.
Wooooooooooo! If that drop would have been longer , you would have flown away and out of the vicinity. That's the first time I've ever seen anyone actually make one of those fly. I'm speechless!! You guys are definitely the boss!!
Hola..... Soy de Ecuador..... sigo todos sus proyectos ... todas sus locuras...... sigan asi nunca paren de hacerlo .... son bienvenidos en mi país Hello I'm from Ecuador ..... ..... I keep all your projects ... all crazy ...... continue to do so never stop .... they are welcome in my country
Congrats! It was fun to watch someone finally fly further than the length of their plane. You are going to change the feel of the contest from here on. Someone's bound to build a flyer that will go once around the harbor.............
why did you choose a (raf48-il) RAF-48 AIRFOIL.... RAF-48 airfoil.... Max thickness 15% at 30% chord.... Max camber 2.9% at 40% chord... or is it the GEMINI R/C sailplane airfoil (smoothed).... Max thickness 15.4% at 34.2% chord..... Max camber 2.2% at 37.9% chord
Very cool. Congratulations guys! You deserve it for all the hard work you've put in over the years. It has been fun watching FliteTest grow and look forward to seeing what it becomes in the future.
Cole Hansen Ok, I saw something on facebook about a chinese version and some of them had props that looked like they were tensioned and released. They were getting like 4,000m it said though so not sure if that is true haha.

Crushed it.
Thanks! We loved every minute of it. :)
Red Bull thanks
They wearing pikachu outfit gotta catch em all
Plus red bull that man wearing ash ketchum's original cap at 3:03
I don’t like red bull, but your sports, flugtag etc. kick ass
500,000 subscribers!!! Thank you everyone! :-)
still need 68 on my screen haha
+Joseph Galvan same on mine
+Joseph Galvan indeed
Well done guys, nice flite!
Great vid
if you'd just drop that thing from a higher place, it'd probably glide really well. you should try it. if not that, make it remote controlled.
Yes. Convert it to RC now!
I think you're right there, a higher launch platform and a little more speed and it will have glided well.
So would everyone eles
I doubt it.
lol
You are the pinnacle of what RC channel should be. Congrats on 500k and here's to the next 500k. 🍻
Cheers :)
yeeeeeee congrats. it flew for like 3 seconds but it did. Let's see it as an rc plane
that would be awesome!
that's a really good idea
yeah when are we gonna see a speed build kit?
+MrDRSMAX hahaha yes
It would be cool to see this become a full scale or something? Idk.
That's awesome guys! You definitely built a solid design! (no onboard camera footage?) Congrats on 500K!
(thumbs up as always!)
Fancy to see you here :D
They didn't want any Go Pro mounts on the aircraft :(
They have to fly an aircraft every 6 minutes or so and didn't want people looking for Go Pros I have to assume!
surely it exists...fliteriot didnt fly without a gopro onboard.. :)
Does anyone know the songs in this video? Shazam nor soundhound can identify them
wanna know that too ... especially the first
To those wondering, it's The Man Without Fear by Cymatix. Unfortunately it's licensed.
@@ColtonBaldridge thanks a lot
So how will you make it fly even longer?
Finally! Congrats guys! Been here since the episodes were filmed at Chad's house!
me 2
Been here since first episode! 😬
Thanks for sticking around! That's a long time :)
really!
susanrc73
djRC Oh, I wasn't criticizing you, sorry about that. :)
Congrats for the Red Bull win and for the 500.000 subscribers. Half a million.... quite a feat!
what song is the intro ,its awesome
Came back to this video just today. It’s so well done - the music, the editing, the anticipation. One of my favorite RUclips videos ever!
Congratulations on the FlugTag WIN
Congratulations on half a million subs.
You guys have earned it. 🛩
I remember when you guys first got started and man have you guys come a long ways.I couldnt think of a harder working more dedicated group of guys than you and its nice to see it all pay off.Congratulations on the RedBull win and the milestones.It just goes to show that hard work and true dedication can still pay off.
What song is that at the beginning?? Congrats guys!
Same question here
Congrats on the subscriber milestone, and more importantly the flugtag victory. MIT was a worthy adversary but you guys showed them the value of experience. How many aircraft has your team members built, flown and crashed! You guys rock!
Was damaged from the impact or the water? If it's still good could we get this thing flying for real?
Red Bull makes you destroy your plane after the event.
Which quite frankly, is bull...
I see what you did there.
+Balu why?
If you have a team with a lot of money, they'll think twice about spending a lot if they don't get it back to improve on it or perhaps use it at another event. It kind of equalizes the teams a little.
That's one small hop into the wild, wet blue yonder, one giant leap for Flite Test! Congratulations on 1st place and half a million subscribers. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of guys.
Names of the songs you used for the video? please:D
I Laughed... I cried..... I got the goosebumps... Cinematic and technical excellence !!! Congrats guys !!!
Song??
Congratulations!! Its a great feeling for me to realize that the you tube channel you have followed for more than two years, the channel responsible for which you are attracted to a whole new hobby wins at this prestigious event and you were following it making from the begining.
Man! You guys kicked MIT AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS' (all the profs, all the facilities') Asses! You should be very proud of yourselves. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys
DNE just because they are in uni does not mean they are smart
If they're at MIT I'm sure they're pretty smart.
Nailed it !
Never forget that crowd noise...
Legends of the air
Why is there a 500k upload before they hit 500k
It's gunna happen, theyre only 68 away from the time of writing this msg
Thats a really good question? Any of my co-workers have an answer?hahaha lol
We'll hit it in about an hour and didn't want to keep people waiting for the episode. :) Just celebrate a couple subs early with us :P
its already happened. RUclips is slow at updating stuff
There's a website that shows the actual amount before it updates on youtube
You guys are so awesome!! What's the title of that song at 3:29??
awesome
FANTASTIC! That was the best flying machine that I have ever seen in this contest. You guys are aeronautical engineer geniuses! Put that award on display so we can see it every episode.
BEAT out MIT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah I expected a WHOLE lot better effort out of those guys. Did MIT become a party school or what?
+Squidgy Quijabo probably affirmative action admits tbh

We have a lot of respect for them and what they built.
They would have taken it all with a couple tweaks.
Well done, FliteTest crew! Clearly the most air-worthy entry there.
It looks like it survived , so some hot glue than maybe rc conversion , maybe ? That would be very cool tho .
The video quality has really sky rocketed. Love how stable the video is while walking. Good job guys, next step, 30 minute TV spot on discovery channel! DO IT!!! 👍👍
Congrats!
That was really awesome, Congrats FliteTest for the Flugtag win, 500,000 subscribers AND being viewed 100 Million times!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Make a personal plane by putting huge edf's on it
WAY TO GO GUYS!!!!!!! I have been watching your build and I knew your aircraft would glide better than most. You guys make us fellow modelers proud. I am a modeler from way back, control line though, still we are brother in arms when it comes to building. FANTASTIC job to all who took part. That was a team effort for sure. CONGRADS!!!!!!!
Can we see Bixlers full scale Pietenpol for an episode?
Certainly!
+FliteTest YES THANK YOU!!
+FliteTest other than mit ]which team had a chance of getting a good glide?
Semi-million enthusiasts! Congrats +FliteTest !!
Im a subsciber for 6 years, and still enjoying ur vids!
cheers
19 dislike guys lost in Flugtag :)
Well, it has being a bit of a disappointment, rly.
What was the distance they covered?
It seems that a glide ratio was around 2?
You could expect some flight (not fall) from the glider built that well.
And some might dislike pokemons, for instance.
Anyway, congratulations to FT on win and having a good time on an event.
Hope next time they will fly too.
+azgarogly Actually I think their biggest problem was speed. They didn't reach enough speed for that kind of wing
Sinan ÇINAR Indeed. It's a problem of each and every Flugtag glider. Google for Fflugtag record flights, they use extra high carts to gain some speed.
Unfortunately, the limitations do not allow any more for teams to use a cart higher then 5 ft or have a wing larger then 24 ft. Plus, for safety precautions they shortened the runway platform 50 feet after the first 8-10 planes because of the headwind...Better SAFE then SORRY they felt...and it was the right call. Just was tough for most planes to get any speed at that distance. GREAT TIMES though and thanks for watching and supporting us guys!
Blessings,
S.O.
FliteTest Well, that's what is ruining the whole Flugtag thing for me. I do not see weird planelike sculptures crashing into the water very entertaining and the rules are more and more suppressing real flying things.
Watching this months after the fact. Cannot believe Flite Test and Rotor Riot crew won Flugtag! Awesome job piloting, Chad! Congratulations!!!
It could have gone farther if they launched you a little faster. XD
True statement Motherbrain!
We felt that with a bit more speed we probably would have hit 100+ feet. OH well! ;) Life happens!
Thanks for watching!!
S.O.
fantastic job guys ! only flitetest could come in and grab the first place on the first attempt ever. congratulations you guys deserve it !!
No one else had an elevator FLITETEST ofcourse did
I've seen a few more actually. The MIT guy's control line snapped, that's why it went full down on launch.
+Balu shut up little smartass
You're welcome.
Sheesh, a wee bit sensitive to helpful corrections there, eh?
+Balu I actually thought MIT had a good chance of winning it all, but that one at 3:09 scared me, thought it would smash into the platform.
I laughed at seeing the Ed, Edd N' Eddy Radio Flyer... awesome callback to that team to one of the episodes. And congrats on both the historic win and the 500k subscribers! You guys deserve a lot more, and I'm sure are more to come!
Look forward to every upload, you guys never cease to find new ideas and ways to entertain, educate, and advance the hobby. Congrats!
Congrats on over 500,000 subscribers. You have really come far. Your show is awesome, you really deserve it. Keep it up ;)
The only one you could call a flight and such a graceful entry into the water compared to the others, fantastic job
Congrats on 500,000 subs! Can't wait to see more awesome content from Flite Test and Rotor Riot!
It was great getting to witness this and meet you all. Sincerely a bunch of really great people! Congratulations!
well done guys
500k and a win at flugtag
a really good week
Awesome to see the channels progression been here since the beginning, congrats on the win!
I don't remember the last time I saw a Flugtag launch so beautiful and smooth.
AMAZING Job in Flugtag!!! Also congrats on 500k!! Can't wait to see you guys next year at Flugtag! :)
Awesome flight and very fitting timing. It's been a blast hanging out with you guys for what is probably 3 or so years...wow. You guys have taught me everything I know about flight :) Keep it up!
Anyone Know of the music in the video?
Best $500 you guys ever spent... Great Job!!! been stalking for years
Awesome! I expected nothing less from you guys. Huge thanks for all the hard work in making foamie flying such a fun thing.
What is the first song?
Congratulations FliteTest, both on the flight achievement and on the subs. Been great to see you guys grow into the awesome team you have become! :)
Congrats guys! For both the win and 500k subs. You all deserve it. I also really like the editing in this episode. I hope to see you guys back competing next year!
Thank you! We definitely hope to compete in another one :)
The launch at 2:47 got me thinking. Would it be against the rules to use the weight of the cart and some kind of arm as a lever/catapult launch system so that the cart falls off the edge and helps push the plane forward.
Congratulation guys for winning the competition and reaching 500K milestone!.. You guys deserve every bit of it!!..
Does anyone know who composed the music in this video and where to get it? :)
Wow. Been here since episode 1. Its amazing to see how much you guys have grown.
It was so awesome seeing you guys in Boston! Hope you all come back for future events! And of course congrats on both awards you guys earned it!
NICE JOB!!!! Seen you guys grow so much over the years and look at you guys now! You are internet stars with a successful business and it is very much deserved, Great job Flite Test.
Congrats!!! I've watch so many flugtag Tests. I never thought you guys would enter.
Huge bragging rights. Hope to see you guys compete a few more times... heck, the plane didn't even look all that damaged !
SO PROUD OF YALL RIGHT NOW!!!! Way to Represent!!!!
You guys better have won!!!
Lol congrats on winning and on 500,000 subscribers! Keep it up and make this a new model!
Way to go guys, so proud of you. Been a fan for years and love seeing all you are doing! Nice on the subs as well!
thank you guys so much for this! awesome job and next year win it again!!!!
Congrats guys. You're the best channel on RUclips.. Keep it up!
I love that you guys participated... and won! So fitting.
That was fantastic!
Whats the song at the beginning?
CRUSHED IT!!!! You guys are my heroes!
Flite Test and Rotor Riot my two favorite teams! Both my favorite! Congrats guys!
Wooooooooooo!
If that drop would have been longer , you would have flown away and out of the vicinity.
That's the first time I've ever seen anyone actually make one of those fly. I'm speechless!!
You guys are definitely the boss!!
Thanks MAD MARC! We appreciate your kind words and for supporting us by watching and commenting!!
Couldn't do it without ya!
S.O.
Omg! Im so glad you guys were able to win the Flugtag and 500,000 subs, just got home from school. Congrats Flitetest
What airfoil was used as it looks pretty thick?
Congratulations! Simplicity and ingenuity walk hand in hand. Your achievement makes me proud to belong to the RC society :)
Congratulations, Flite Test. That was amazing and well-deserved.
That was absolutely awesome! Thank you so much guys! And thank you for all you do. Glad the rotor riot lot where there too!
anyone know the music for the first bit. FlightTest? Thanks :)
Whats the name of that first song ????
the-man-without-fear
Type that on RUclips, can't rly find it....
Outstanding!! Congratulations to all of the Flite Test and Rotor Riot (FliteRiot) folks!!
Song at the beginning?
Congratulations Flite Test! I knew you had it in the bag!
Already subscribed since 50.000, great job guys!!!!
I always loved the Flugtag. Awesome! And your plane looks good too.
it was awesome meeting you guys! best of luck to your future flights!
You guys rocked that event, way to go flitetest team.
You guys did awesome! Expect nothing less from you guys! Living the dream
Hola..... Soy de Ecuador..... sigo todos sus proyectos ... todas sus locuras...... sigan asi nunca paren de hacerlo .... son bienvenidos en mi país
Hello I'm from Ecuador ..... ..... I keep all your projects ... all crazy ...... continue to do so never stop .... they are welcome in my country
So. When can we expect a speed-build kit and optional power package?
So when are you guys going to take that down a hill and do a little ground effect flying? I want to see what that thing can do!
Congrats! It was fun to watch someone finally fly further than the length of their plane. You are going to change the feel of the contest from here on. Someone's bound to build a flyer that will go once around the harbor.............
why did you choose a (raf48-il) RAF-48 AIRFOIL.... RAF-48 airfoil....
Max thickness 15% at 30% chord.... Max camber 2.9% at 40% chord...
or is it the GEMINI R/C sailplane airfoil (smoothed)....
Max thickness 15.4% at 34.2% chord.....
Max camber 2.2% at 37.9% chord
Very cool. Congratulations guys! You deserve it for all the hard work you've put in over the years. It has been fun watching FliteTest grow and look forward to seeing what it becomes in the future.
lol, awesome guys =D Are you allowed any support of now powered propulsion? Like a giant rubber band with a prop?
Nope just human powered pushing the aircraft
Cole Hansen Ok, I saw something on facebook about a chinese version and some of them had props that looked like they were tensioned and released. They were getting like 4,000m it said though so not sure if that is true haha.
Qskool FPV How does this have to deal with HK? lol. No joke, the one said 24,000m though, will see if I can find it.
Qskool FPV Oh, lol
