Yes... that would be friggin awesome... add a small supply crate with parachutes... and get that thing finished with paint and airbrushed and looking realistic... it's too awesome to just leave looking plain
It would be cool, to have the tank fire main gun at plane on way out... Think James bond escaping from bad guys, simulation of course. Looks cool and James bond theme, music.... Etc. :)
What saddens me is the aviation industry NEEDS people that are in the RC world and many times snobby, often flippant professional aerospace engineers dismiss this as "well it's just a hobby" really? With guys like this making awesome planes and tanks that fly, perhaps engineers could take cues and we could possibly see a "flying tank" or the incredible Robotech(TM) aircraft which can transform into fighting machines. Keep up the awesome work guys!!
@@JoshWeaverRC I was in millitary aviation and I worked with Boeing and other groups for many years on the C-17A Globemaster III and it is NO assumption. I have told several engineers that I happened to enjoy RC flying and some just dismiss it as toys. I did not say NASA anywhere in my statement and I said it out of experience with civilian and military contactors. So with respect, don't assume everyone who says these things are a troll or discrediting every engineer or technician, but some of us have had to live with so called "experts" calling our hobby toys or silly.
@@ivanabraham8145 yes I forget that you know me as a real person, and therefore automatically know somehow that I couldn’t possibly work on this aircraft. I mean that’s just impossible for me to be one of the tens of thousands that currently maintain these aircraft. Right?
@@ianm832 Actually, I could see a speed build kit, more in the master size, not a ridiculous size. :) Totally an amazing plane... Next to make one with JATO :D
Third order shipped from FliteTest today! I am so loving building their kits! The hobby keeps me happy/relaxed when dealing with my anxiety. Thanks guys for being so awesome!
LarryH54 the m1a1 Abrams is not capable of airborne insertion. The last tank to be dropped from an aircraft was the Sheridan. Also for safety reasons, all vehicles are dropped from separate aircraft after the first wave of paratroopers have landed and secured the drop zone. It wouldn’t be a very fun if you land and perform a perfect plf only to have a hmmwv land on you. But in micro scale with toys it could be cool to see.
Whether it’s a business decision or personal decisions, I appreciate the fact that there is never any foul mouth or terrible behavior from any of you in your vids. Way to be in this day and age.
Wow! Watching that thing fly is amazing. It makes the quad look so small in formation. Congrats to all for an awesome build and flight. John, you are a true foam board master.
So, I see everyone getting upset about the amount of ad’s in these videos. I have a few things I’d like to say. 1. Yes this is not the original FliteTest with Josh and Josh. And thank god. That stuff worked. And it was good. But these crazy ideas is what has made this a more palatable channel and one that can attract more viewers. These guys need to make a living too. And if it means me fast forwarding through 2 minutes of a dollar shave club ad to get some decent content. So be it. 2. As I mentioned previously, it’s not the original Josh and Josh. However. FliteTest is not the only thing that has changed. It’s getting harder and harder for RUclips content creators to make the money they used to. RUclips has changed also. They have to change for it all to work. If what your all saying is you want FliteTest without the ads, the only response I have is, it isn’t possible. I create content here on RUclips. We make zero money on it. 10 years ago it would’ve been possible. But with more content comes a more difficult ability to make money straight from the content. Entertainment is a commodity and is no different than oil or beef. If you think everything that goes into this can just be done in an afternoon on a Saturday you’re sadly mistaken, the production quality and capital that go into this channel are second to none. But that requires sponsorship, and again; suffer through the 2 minute plug? Is it that big of a deal? Most of us watch NFL on Sunday’s and we all sit through ads to watch it. If the content is good we will always come back. I would love for anyone to try and debate with me the fact that doing this without sponsorship is impossible, I work in marketing. And these guys do a great job at keeping the ads to a minimum for us. 3. This one is to the guys at FliteTest, and I hope they see this. You guys do a great job. I can hardly open a model aviation magazine anymore without seeing something from you guys in it. And that’s awesome. You’ve kept this hobby alive and you now carry the torch. It’s a hefty responsibility. You are the 21st century RCM magazine. You have ideas, innovation, and content that keep people interested. Thank you so much for doing this for the hobby that’s been in so many people’s families for many years. As long as the content is good (which it is.) we’ll keep coming back for years and years to come. 4. In closing. Josh Bixler used to come and fly back at our field, when he lived in our neighborhood. He was a great guy, very personable and cared about the experience we all shared. He’s a good dude. He’s keeping the hobby going. Watch the Dollar Shave Club ad. It will be over soon, and watch these guys create something amazing.
No,I don't watch football game commercials. I will change the channel to a movie or anything that isn't a commercial. Awesome flight of the Hercules. Thanks for sharing.
BRAVO!!!! Excellent mini lecture on the economics of quality RUclips Productions, which FliteTest is a superb example of. There are obviously a lot of people we never see involved in each and every episode. These guys exude passion and commitment in everything they do, but that don't feed their kids. If they went to a Patreon Format I'd throw them $5.00 a month gladly, they went to ads so I can enjoy their content free. So quit yer bitchin!
Dana Skubic while the football game is on watch it while the dollar shave club is running, once there’s a commercial break during the Kansas City game, switch back to FT
See that air plane? Yes! It flew right over my head. Exactly. RUclips for RUclips sake and nothing else. You want to earn money get someone to pay you which means advertising or get a job. nuff said
Stick a fire extinguisher in the back with the nozzle sticking out a little, then use servos to squeeze the lever, you now have a C-130 Fire Attack plane 👌
When I heard you guys say that the chase drones batteries were running low, I was seriously hoping that you were going to fly it into the cargo hatch and park it in the C-130. There you go, try to land a drone inside of the C-130 while it is in flight.
I built John's Corsier 3 years back, whenever it first came out, and it still is one of my favorites. It just flies so very well, light, fast, and extremely maneuverable. I have already put it through three seasons, and the fact that it still flies is a testament to John's talent.
Wow, it's beautiful! You should do actual supply drops with it. Humvee's, artillery, pallets of food/supplies/ammo, LAVS, all with chutes and flares. Love the vid, can't wait to see what you guys do with it!
Add 3 BB guns and that'll make it an AC-130. then you can blast "ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE!" in the Russian guy's voice edit: 50 likes in 50 minutes wow edit 2: maybe make it an AC-130 Whiskey [only 1 gun but 10 back rockets] to save money edit 3: damn, blowing up quickly! Oh, and when I said BB guns, I meant airsoft but as alphagt62 suggested, paintball guns would look better because it wouldn't have to go through, just make colour to show it hit
I spent 4 years in the Army jumping out of C-130's and C-141's. This just got me all amped up. Would love to see you figure out little paratroopers off the tailgate!
I JUST said do some navy seal parachutists........or do low level drops......you know, when the plane is a foot above the ground the they have a tank with a parachute on it to drag it out the back and leave it on the ground?
I think it would be cool if you guys had it done up in the Coulson Aviation water bomber livery as a tribute to the American C130 pilots who died in the Australian bushfires after the plane crashed.
Thank you guys for keeping these videos clean and wholesome. Your team is still adventurous and creative but with quality as the backbone. Doing the right thing is not an old school way of thinking but is time less. Thank you for not compromising. The moral value your giving to your viewers and this hobby are really inspirational.

when you have tried everything you have to put rocket motors on it like the fat albert! but try everything else before that in case of it gets destroyed
Wishing I'd seen this a year ago. Mostly because I would have loved to see it painted & dropping a (whole bunch) of parachuters like a big military operation with equipment & personnel. If you still have the plane I'd even have an idea to make such an event worth doing, but that's another conversation. So very glad to see this aeroplane, it really made my day, thank you for taking the time to make this video.
You guys are starting to need an actual size hangar, dig an underground hangar to store all the massive planes..... and have an elevator just for the planes like on aircraft carriers

My Son was a crew chief on a CH-47G when he was in the Army. CH-47 may be a great Project. I was in the 82nd Abn and have jumped out of a C-130 many times. Loved this Vid. thank you
@@zxbigmikexz That's what I'm talking about; the C130's wing span is longer than its body, but the A12's body is longer than its wing span. So "in scale" the A12 would be 15' long. Epic ;-P
That’s awesome! My father was a c-130 tanker pilot fighting forest fires, and one of just a hand full of A-model specialists. He would love that thing! Also +1 on the paratrooper drop.
You can fly out a small plane out of this. Just a thought!! Or even recreate the car drop scene from Fast and the Furious!! Both of these ideas would be great! I hope you guys see this.
Im retired AF. My favorite aircraft is the EC130E Commando Solo. I was a Flight Engineer on the EC130E with the 193rd ANG with 800 hrs and 52 combat missions over Irac. The EC130E Commando Solo never carried combat troops, but I would love to see you fly your FT 130 and air drop troops. Thanks, and good luck
Guys, that was super cool! I've been lucky enough to get a job at an aircraft painting company, and they're repainting a Royal Australian Air Force C-130 this month. What a bird!
now THAT would be a feat of engineering. Remember: it took them decades and a few deaths before they got it right in real life. You would not believe the physics involved in that thing.
Having seen and flown on one I would be super impressed if the could get something like that to do vertical take offs AND landings. Those things are crazy complicated and ever harder to fly. Could a R/C flight controller handle something like that?
Would love to see you guys drop a smaller RC plane out the back, something like one of the experimental parasite fighters the Air Force was playing around with.
OMG MAKE IT TO THE ANGEL OF DEATH! That’s when it shoots the flares out of the back that look like an Angel!!! Omg it would look soooo cool with like fireworks or something!!
Just went over it and y'all have made and/or flown on this channel six of my top ten favorite planes. P-51 Mustang, P-35 Lighting, A-10 Thunderbolt II, C-130 Hercules, B-29 Superfortress, and the Spitfire.

Slip on down, do a PLF
Hit the drop zone with my feet apart
Legs in my stomach and feet in my heart
If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Pin my wings upon my chest
Bury me in the leaning rest :-)
Took me right back to Bragg.
when you have tried everything you have to put rocket motors on it like the fat albert! but try everything else before that in case of it gets destroyed
YES!!!
Yes!!! Sugar rockets from the King of Random!
Excellent idea.
Let's Rock'n Roll baby!!!!
Wishing I'd seen this a year ago. Mostly because I would have loved to see it painted & dropping a (whole bunch) of parachuters like a big military operation with equipment & personnel. If you still have the plane I'd even have an idea to make such an event worth doing, but that's another conversation.
So very glad to see this aeroplane, it really made my day, thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Welcome to steam edition 😂😂
Ah yes 400 knot air balloon
There is a Cessna doing 400 knots across the taxi way
*7 year old starts yelling bloody murder*
Ah yes airproduct65
You guys are starting to need an actual size hangar, dig an underground hangar to store all the massive planes..... and have an elevator just for the planes like on aircraft carriers
Absolutely brilliant guys. Well executed, it’s so good to see modellers who are great pilots showing these amazing builds the flights they deserve!
I'm a pastor who had two members, one a pilot and another a loadmaster, who flew the full-sized C-130. Great Job FT!!
Add flaps, then drop hummve out the back.
THIS! Even if its a foam humvee!
With a working chute.
Better yet, LAPES extractions.
@Scott Murphy I couldn't remember the correct acronym. High Mobility Multi Wheeled Vehicle.
Imagine having a paintball gun mounted on the side and able to shoot like a gunship and then having a mini drone or 2 in the back fall out and fly
Turn it into a gunship with airsoft to use against a tank of “ground forces” lol
And fireworks
Silo entertainment and noveritsch have entered the chat

Side door guns?! Hell yeah, brother!
They already did that with some of their planes.
Imagine taking this to a airsoft field and screaming “ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE
imagination: over the airsoft field"airsoft player hey someone cover me i need to get to the hostage house "they be like ok" airsoft player ok wheres ur gun"umm its up there"enemy players ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE
I would be running if i heard that
I would love that. It would be great if the teams could fight over a moving command center that allows the holding team to call in strikes.
ya they should put some remote controlled airsoft guns in it
correction, C-130 hercules, used in the vietnam war as a areial support craft, and now we use it for cargo
Spectacular. It was beautiful to watch in the air, and that landing! Josh! That's gotta be amongst your favorite landings ever.
Surprised I haven't see much mentioning of turning this into a Spectre gun ship.
Using the mini guns from the battleship dive bomb episode
Paintball artillery
Speaking of Hercules - someone should do a model of Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" Hercules, and see how well it flies...
You should do flares out of the back! You can create that "angel wing flare" pattern and it would look AMAZING!!
Drop a tank with a parachute. Troops would be cool too. Impressive build.
That’s awesome guys. I just love the giants. Great job Josh and John.
I always get the vibe that Stefan is their weed connection, always an important member of any team.
Fly in some weed?!
@@joenewman4385 fly WITH
My Son was a crew chief on a CH-47G when he was in the Army. CH-47 may be a great Project. I was in the 82nd Abn and have jumped out of a C-130 many times. Loved this Vid. thank you
How bout Flite Test version of "M.O.A.B." coming out of the back. But what about a large scale ducted fan A12/SR71 :-P
I'm all for a foam Blackbird, but it has to be large scale. At least 10 feet (3 meters) long.
@@zxbigmikexz That's what I'm talking about; the C130's wing span is longer than its body, but the A12's body is longer than its wing span. So "in scale" the A12 would be 15' long. Epic ;-P
You got a thumbs up for that PERFECT landing!
The drone pilot is insane good! How many hours he flew in the recent years to keep exactly at the planes tale? WOW!
It's pretty easy with fpv
He's been flying drones and chaser craft like that for years several years, at this point it's muscle memory and instinct lol
This just keeps better and better. Sure wish my Dad and his brother were still around to also enjoy it.
Gotta be a Paradrop... after that the AC-130 gunship sounds about right, bb guns and paintball cannon...
Dude I came in this comment section to look if someone made this comment it would be really awesome if they made a gunship actually they have to do it
this comment deserves more likes.
That’s awesome! My father was a c-130 tanker pilot fighting forest fires, and one of just a hand full of A-model specialists. He would love that thing!
Also +1 on the paratrooper drop.
Make RC Humvees and drive them out the back with parachutes!!!
These guys have the BEST Job in the world.
Now just need Airborne Troopers flying out the back of it.
Go Army.
I dream of one day seeing an rc Ekranoplan in that scale
object 906 that would be awesome!!!!
That would be awesome
Yes!!!
That would be awesome, yes, but they’re gonna need a bigger lake.
You can fly out a small plane out of this. Just a thought!!
Or even recreate the car drop scene from Fast and the Furious!!
Both of these ideas would be great!
I hope you guys see this.
Ajinkya Gode I think they’ve already done a car drop from a different cargo plane
Yeah they built a guinea pig and dropped a Jeep like rc car
They also dropped a funjet out of a Guinea
Mad respect to the drone flying skills.
I'm just starting with flitetest-- working on an ft viggen rn. Thanks flitetest! You guys rule!
Set up a line of paratroopers inside it and deploy them over the flight field.
thats what i said! would be epic
AATW
CIRL - clapped in real life when it landed, that was sooo sweet :o)
Im retired AF. My favorite aircraft is the EC130E Commando Solo. I was a Flight Engineer on the EC130E with the 193rd ANG with 800 hrs and 52 combat missions over Irac. The EC130E Commando Solo never carried combat troops, but I would love to see you fly your FT 130 and air drop troops. Thanks, and good luck
Guys, that was super cool! I've been lucky enough to get a job at an aircraft painting company, and they're repainting a Royal Australian Air Force C-130 this month. What a bird!
Make a model of V 22 OSPREY PLZZZZZZZZZ..............
That would be amazing.
now THAT would be a feat of engineering. Remember: it took them decades and a few deaths before they got it right in real life.
You would not believe the physics involved in that thing.
Someone get this man to Harvard!
Having seen and flown on one I would be super impressed if the could get something like that to do vertical take offs AND landings. Those things are crazy complicated and ever harder to fly. Could a R/C flight controller handle something like that?
@@usmcmoss1 I used to own an R/C V-22, the controller handled it like a champ but then I got rammed by a 747 LOL
Would love to see you guys drop a smaller RC plane out the back, something like one of the experimental parasite fighters the Air Force was playing around with.
Or a lifting body spaceship like Dream Chaser. (with an ESTES rocket attached)
The skills of the guy with the drone are just mind blowing!
I saw the AT-AT in the back and thought “What if they made the aircraft from Star Wars that lowers the walkers onto the surface of the planets?”
Suggestion: Drop some micro fighters and do a "defensive escort" by them flying around the mothership
Yea that'd be amazing! I suggested 6 race drones but you could definitely mix in some fighters too! 👍🏻
OMG MAKE IT TO THE ANGEL OF DEATH!
That’s when it shoots the flares out of the back that look like an Angel!!! Omg it would look soooo cool with like fireworks or something!!
This was on my birthday... Thank you for giving me a great time on my birthday cuz i got a ac-130 plane model set on my bday
Dude that landing was like a dream!
Make a p3 Orion and fly it, and it's such a iconic plane. My dad was in the navy and looked for subs in the p3
"Almost vertical" -> 45°
Lol haha als wenn man dich hier trifft was geht so
eazy385 das ist *Englisch* , nicht Deutsch
Rounding.
From their POV it probably looked like vertical...
Keyword: *A L M O S T*
that landing is easily one of my top 20 most satisfying things to see of all time
that dude is like the bob ross of foam modelling
happy little cowling
I'm so happy lol, this is one of my favorite real life planes 😁
Just went over it and y'all have made and/or flown on this channel six of my top ten favorite planes.
P-51 Mustang, P-35 Lighting, A-10 Thunderbolt II, C-130 Hercules, B-29 Superfortress, and the Spitfire.
I look forward to maybe seeing these planes show up as well.
B-17 Flying Fortress
F-7f Tigercat
F-15 Eagle
Drop a plane out of this plane :)
And drop a plane out of the dropped plane.
@@TheWebstaff you mean dropped plane, the c-130 would be the drop plane.
@@s4dg ta, you are correct. I stand corrected. Post also corrected 😂
Was a crew chief in the airforce for this. The j model.
Thing was a beast. Fun times and great work on this
