Can you guys please do a top gear style challenge were you get a set budget to make a plane then once you make it in the style of your choice you are then told the challenges I think it would be a fun few episodes

The red plane on the calm water was so satisfying for some reason.

[MrSilverback]

Wonderful! A good life is full of BOTH failures and successes. As Bum Phillips said, " We all fail, but you are not a failure until you blame someone else." Peter & others, you are successes because you kept trying.

lol, awkward silent moment right at the end!!!! Classy!!! Let's see Peter do a review on the Frsky Taranis!!

[Raycefan]

Can't wait to build this one. First thing I'm going to experiment with is changing the skis on the wing tips to some sort of v-hull or more pontoon-like or fuselage-like. And, thanks to the foam board building skills I've learned as a faithful "Flitetest" viewer, I Should have zero troubles!

This episode is brilliant! Hilarious, self-humor, showing when not to fly, and very educational. This takes true humility.

One of the best episodes so far. Keep it up FliteTest!

[scottallen]

Really nice segment on the calm water. Peter, you're the best

[rossenger]

Great video! Stephen and Peter make great hosts, they're like Josh & Josh for the next generation

[seancollins]

I love the thumbnail for this video, Peter did a great job with that plane.

[hermit]

Super first launch! Nice flights without wind.

[dusterl]

HAHA
Best ending to that majestic flight at the end. Mucho kudos.

[DaneHenson]

There needs to be a shirt/mug that says "it's only foam board... We've got more of it."

Great episode, guys!

[michaelkaler]

Beautiful flying in that last segment!

[twigulus]

Stefan is a great addition; he has great energy on camera. Keep it up lads

[NikButler]

its time for Pete to build the FliteTest Ekrano-plane !

[kevinkorthuis]

Great way to end the video! So peaceful (I seriously could have watched flying gracefully over the water like that for ages) then with a splat... Just great! Thank you guys!

[bloodreighn]

you guys should make a Flying boat next, buy a boat kit ( tug boat or something ) and jerry rig some large foam wings and motors to it, that would be fun!

[chapmaster]

one of the best videos ft has put out, all of you guys are the best, keep bring it

[BPlus-ozcm]

I'll be waiting for the FT Ekranoplan! Great job on the Otter Peter!
