You're crazy superheroes! I'm so glad glad to see this video, and I'm very impressed by the plane construction - the motor is a heavy beast and very difficult to mount on a lightweight frame. And I didn't expect that you're surviving 12S without getting insured. Great video!
Christoph Laimer Thank you for sending us such an amazing motor! Your design was amazing and you truly inspired us and many others with your amazing 3-D printed creation. Keep up the great work brother!
Great job Christoph!
Hey Josh, what actually happened (the pop and sizzle)? Did the 12 cell fry the motor?
ElyssaAnderson yeah that’s what I was gonna ask
I met FliteTest BECAUSE of Cristoph Laimer and this aprticular motor! =)
Love that Chad did the intro. Love that Andres did the wings. Love the the 3D printed motor worked. 10 out of 10. Would recommend
Andres is a natural on camera.
Logan F I agree!
Sweet glad to see this thing put to use.
Did the motor survive? What happend to it?
Finally, you guys used that motor! it was a cool project.
I was researching 3d printed motors and saw the original video where Chris made the motor, always wondered if he used it for something, so I'm glad to see this. I'm actually designing my own motors and using the plastic parts to make a mold to pour melted aluminum so I can build my own water cooled ebike motors.
You are on to something as a guy in Arizona. My Bafang motor gets pretty dang hot! Maybe like an RC boat electric motor cooler would work? Just water flowing through a heat sink from the lake. But add a radiator and pump, and BOOM! You got this man. Make that dream a reality!!!!! If you design it to work with Bafang motors as an add on, you would sell out.
We’ve been waiting near on a year to see this motor take flight, and it was well worth the wait!
Well done guys.
Awesome. Always brings a smile to my face when you build something and it lift off in to the air. I clapped and cheered.
I'm glad to see this motor made a comeback. I remember when he sent it to you I was so disappointed that you never did anything with it. I've been dying to see how it held up!
RIP motor you did great. 💐
that was amazingly awesome....great job all around!
Please follow up on WHAT was the POP SIZZLE. Detaild failure discription.
I was waiting for you to test this for sooo long !!! That's wonderful ^^
5:14 Somebody high five Stephan, please!
Christian hahaha!! Totally got stood up bro! Haha hilarious 😂- stefan
✋
Hi flight test, I just ordered my first real rc plane (HobbyZone Super Cub S) all thanks to you, you are one of the main reasons I am getting into the hobby
I've been watching you guys for a while now, but I was always afraid to start flying RC planes, so I kind of got bored and stopped for a few months. However, not so long ago I came back and watched a few of your videos again which got me really inspired, and so I ordered my first RC airplane according to your tips in the beginner series, and it will arrive soon! I just wanted to say, love your videos and the stuff you come up with, keep it up!
I've always been quite interested in aviation since I was a child, but so far I've only put together a few models for my shelf. But now it's time to begin actually flying
Even though i'm just now seeing this video 7 months after it was aired, this is my favorite so far... and i'm on a marathon of "test flight" videos right now. I love ultralights!
That's an awesome build, guys! Well done!!!
6:32 the MOTOR SMOKES!!!!!
rst that was lost of motor power - or better to say, he lost the motor at self - it goes broken in this moment. I though at first that was lack of the battery power.
The spool fried because a wire size diameter small. Big current.
Finally! I've been waiting for this video for a long time!
Its great to see Andres back!!! And, an appearance by Chloe, too! Fun stuff!
Andres!
That was amazing, the most epic from the flying chair! Great video!
I am a Challenger Ultralight pilot and I have flaperons on my plane. Flaperons actually only change the center of lift and are primarily used for trim purposes based on the load of the pilot in order to trim for hands-off(or at least for minimal pressure)in what ever mode of flight that you are in(i.e. climb, level or descending). At altitude over my home airport(Capitol Drive)I trim the nose up way high and float around at 25 mph near minimum controllable airspeed(sometimes even flying backwards if the head wind at altitude is greater than my forward airspeed !).
I'm just a nobody on the internet, but that doesn't sound at all like how *typical* flaperons or flaps would affect performance. They certainly *can* offset the center of lift if they are not located over the center of lift already, but they are fundamentally failing at their intended role if they are not increasing lift (and drag). Offsetting CoL is generally an undesired (and avoidable at the design level) side affect, not the intended function.
I'm certainly not trying to correct you on doctrines of use for your aircraft. I've never seen or studied it before, and am just discussing the more general applications of what you have said. But as I understand it using flaperons to trim pitch should be *far* less effective than using the elevator to do so. I'm more inclined to think that the Challenger Ultralight is an outlier, due to the mid-length, high mounted engine.
At first I thought it could be because of deflection of air into or away from the propeller, but pictures I found online were inconsistent about where the ailerons started, with some seeming to start at the root of the wing, and others only starting after they cleared the propeller's radius. Just making a guess, but do the flaperons on your aircraft start at the root of the wing?
Almost all of the way to the root...here is a picture(not the best, but the only one I have). Almost the whole trailing edge of my wing is flaperon. They actually deploy in both directions with a hand crank above my head.

Well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I've flown a challenger (As well as 30 or so other types of aircraft), and I will say that while the flaperon trim method on the Challenger is pretty weird, it seems to work.
Yes !, it is quite weird and works rather well, too. Frankly, I think that the design purpose is to provide both trim and accommodate a wider range of pilot weight.
Great to see Andres back! Cool fun vid, thanks guys :)
I like to see the people in the background, and seeing what part they had in this. Awesome video
amazing job dudes !!!
Nice build , old school Flite test spirit :)
OMG you guys finally did it!! I love you
awesome!!! keep them coming
Great project!! The Quicksilver MX is a rudder/elevator only. No ailerons no flaps and no vertical stabilizer (all rudder). You need to modify the design with a rudder post and rudder. Even the Quicksilver MXL, Sprint and Sport models with ailerons are rudder dominant! With the high wing dihedral they fly skid and roll not crank and bank. A higher wing camber would help too. I have over 600 hours flying my 1984 MX. I look forward to seeing a kit and plans on your web site. (maybe a bit smaller scale)
Well done!!!
right before he said "I lost power" I was like, smoke, not good XD
Yeah, that was pretty subtle. I had to go back and watch that a few times. Hard to see the smoke, but it's there. One thing that I wondered about was the ratings of the larger bearing at the back of the motor... That bearing is only rated to 3,500 RPM... very thin profile (6mm x 6mm cross section), those bearing balls have got to be screaming...
That was all around a fun and well produced video. I am glad your crowdfunding campaign for a new home base was a success :) Looking forward to more videos like this!
Finally! Have been waiting ages to see what you came up with, and you didn't disappoint!
Looks like the motor may have been working a bit too hard and burned out but this'll give valuable results for improvement.
Carbon fiber space-frame structures have great applications and could be used as the basis for the entire skin of an aircraft or vehicle, so would like to see more!
Finally! I needed this video.
Great work, guys! 😀
I'm going to consider this video my birthday present! 😊
Dang, this things really looks nice in the air! Very well done ;)
Well worth waiting!!
for us who don't have 3D printers.... you can use aluminum or carbon fiber arrow tubing. cut the ends shaped to fit (or interlock dado's) then wrap/lash with sewing thread and CA glue.
you can make excellent and very solid joints with this method if you wrap it thick enough, the thread becomes like a hard plastic fiberglass, scuff the tubing it's not going to come apart.
I've built an RC dragster with CF arrow tubing and 2 mm plate stock, an ornithopter with 2 mm carbon fiber rod covered in ripstop nylon for wings etc (300 RPM gear motor to flap them), and done MANY repairs to other stuff, it's become like a "go to" because it's so easy, fairly quick, inexpensive and versatile.
MUCH bigger prop doh! E-motors love torque down low. I'm sure the torque-arm of that motor could spin a bigger prop with higher pitch and get MOAR thrust from it.
It would be cool to put together plans for one a bit smaller. Super job, guys!
You guys are AWESOME !!!
I been waiting for this video for a long time.
Freaking amazing aha you guys are awesome. That "leaving me hanging" at 5:14 though 🤣 keep this coming though for real.
Immediately recognized Andres from his Fowler Flaps video, so happy to see him on the team!
You guys continue to amaze me. Is there nothing you guys cant fly. I dont think there is. Great job.
This was awesome.
been waiting forever for this
I saw a big lawn mower in the background in your flying mailbox video and I instantly thought "making THAT thing fly would be the REAL OVERKILL!"
I´d love to see that one happen :D
Kara That's been done in a A.M.A. magazine back in the 70's. The guy would pretend he was pushing the lawn mower and it starts to get away from him. He starts to chase it around on the grass when all of a sudden it took off and started to fly! There were plans for it in that magazine.
very nice!!!
You gentlemen are brilliant, and inspiring..... I'm off Guys, that was so cool, brought me back .... pulling the old ultralight out of the closet.....definitely marketable, I want one....
Those Drone Skills tho! Wow! Impressive.
Oops, almost forgot about that motor. Cool to see it is getting used and really love the build. Hope to hear if there is any later updates on this project. :)
This is a great project. Would love to be able to build one too!
Very cool!
Epic guys truly one of the coolest designs mabye twin front mount motors as an option
Love to see you guys offer a Paramotor kit
That's a totally kool ultralight!!! :-)
Wow I've really been subbed for over a year. Man time flies
I'm happy you guys actually put some time into this and actually gave it the recognition it deserves and I'm happy you mentioned his channel a lot. I'm just really disappointed in you guys since it took this long to "get around" to it
That was awesome
Ive waited for this since the Day you guys got that motor and its finally hete☺
I have an old Zenoah 26 that I think would be perfect for that. Can't wait to see if/when you release the files.
Wow wow WOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!
awesome video guys
been waiting for this vid.
I was thinking a larger prop instead of more cells. That would keep the RPMs down but give you more power.
I love the quicksilver. I have still got my small foam i think its horizon hobbies not sure. This large version is what i have been looking for. Somethig in between the 2 would be great... Thanks guys
Great stuff
that took longer that expected but im happy that you put it to the test.
That's great!
i can't be the only one that watches flitetest vids with a wide dumb smile on my face :D
Are the plans for this plane available anywhere
What CAD program did you use for designing the Ultralight?
When does the kit come out?
thought youd forgot about it or broke the motor testing off camera.
awesome engine, been waiting for this since it was posted to you.
5:14 - Stefan left hanging. Hello darkness my old friend
I wish I could fly rc planes every day... I envy you guys.. good stuff brother's
are you releasing plans?
That looks great in the air. Should make it a little bit smaller scale FT kit or free plans like your other cool planes.
Nice boys your team are great
Where can I find the stl files for this?
You did it! 3d motor flies
cool to see andres in some videos
What I want to know is what made the popping sound... Did the motor break from the force of spinning around so much?
FINALLY !
Pop and sizzle, is the stator core melting?
Wow when I read the title "3d printed motor" Christoph came to mind LOL
I just checked Christoph's channel last night, no updates for a year now. Hopefully he gets back into it again. Imagine a reliable, low Kv, INEXPENSIVE motor for larger scale planes!
i like the music in this video :3
Nice. This will be the filler for the cancelled ultralight fly in today!
now you have to blow up the plans to full scale and get someone to volunteer to fly it :P
Super!
Where can i get your Flite Test t-shirts
Well worth the wait. Now will the fine tuning begin?
It flies!
Amazing! Sorry if I missed it, but what's the total weight of this plane?
buenisimo!! creo que podría hacerse incluso tamaño real
you make cool RC planes
