The second one blew up. That's what makes flitetest my favourite show.

I think the Bf-109 could be a amazing swappable! It is not that rounded and would therefore be easy to build out or foamboard. Then you could have a awesome dogfight!

So, I've built two FT Spitfires this year - and have just been trying my first bout of aerobatics. What a great little warbird!

I just finished my FT Spitfire and spent some time flying it this morning.

It's a wonderful airplane that flies beautifully.

GREAT JOB DAVID!

Guys you won't believe:) your videos still make impact in 2020. I am just building the spitfire. My second scratch build and my first was mini Mustang and it flyes like crazy :) I even got a removable wing to it :D

2:25 "because the second one he blew up" "OH!" then it just goes right back to normal talking. Damn flite test, your the best, that was hilarious

This was the very second video from Flite Test i have watched. Fist one was FT Spitfire Build that popped in as a random autoplay on You Tube. That was 2 years ago and here I am flying addict!

I just finished building and test flew my own spitfire! Was my first time flying any RC plane but it was very easy to fly so no problem :) Now I'm hyped, thanks for this great plane

[AlexanderKaldiris]

Thank you guys much!!! I downloaded the plans, built it, and today was my maiden flight!!! I really love that plane.!!! :D

Another win for the Flite Test Team. Thanks for all you guys do. David is brilliant, and working on my tri-copter is a lot of fun.

That looked like a fun flying session! Glad to see another generation of RC pilots keeping this wonderful hobby going.

I decided to throw one of these together for the Chandler Bowl Games last weekend. I scratch built it from dollar tree black adams foam board as thats all they had, and left the turtle deck off. I built it fairly heavy as it was intended for the combat portion of the fly in. This included a lot of extra hot glue, packaging tape, and some strategically placed popsicle sticks and bamboo skewers for support. I pulled the power system out of an old crashed E-Flite Mini Ultra Stick, did a hack job of the build, and was plesently surprised by how smooth this aircraft flew! I also didnt bother making any adjustments to the throws, which meant I was stuck with the throws and settings from my Funtana. First flight was slightly squirelly due to the massive throw rates and added power, but once I got the thumbs settled down this thing flew like a dream up until the point of destruction during combat. I am already getting the plans cut out to put another one together this weekend, and also plan on building a couple more of your models. these are great and cheap fun and I hope y'all keep up the great plans!

David is such a wizard! His Viggen is almost spooky how it can hover but also be really fast while also being easy to fly and here he does another famously cranky plane and tames it into a purring pussycat.

[drcuffe]

I learned nearly everything I know from David and Flitetest, now I can walk into model shops and they don't understand anything on my level haha. They have said no one has ever asked the stuff I have.

Awesome Timing on this Video. Its Thomas' birthday and this is the first video he will watch when he wakes up!! Awesome build BTW!!!! Love Chad's ejectable pod ;)

[flibri]

Here i am, eight years later, building this thing

[unipalooza.]

"John, Paul, George" why is everyone always forgetting Ringo?

[vincedechellis]

They are not up yet, but on the bottom of the FT Spitfire page they say they will be released later this week, likely when the build video comes out

[jimcr]

Warbird series?!?!? Yessss! Bring them on. It was the WIldcat Episode that hooked me. I would so like to see a Wildcat or Corsair scratch build.
