Great video guys.

I have built many of your and others foam planes, however I have run into a problem. It is about building ultrta light planes for the indoor gym near me. It is difficult to find plans and electronics for these super light models.

I challenge Josh, David, Chad and any others at Flite Test to build the best indoor plane possible. It would be very interesting to see what you guys can come up with, and how well they fly.

In any case keep up the good work.

Glad to be a subscriber.

Walt.

I second that motion. I recently built a scaled down nutball with an 11 gram outrunner but it still was too fast for our gym and my skills. Now I am building a 24" nutball without the power pod and will try that next.I don't want to buy one of those RTF micros. I want to build my own. Thanks FT guys,LooseBruce

Agreed, Would be nice to see smaller indoor type planes for the winter time, and a swappable variety, even nicer.

I look forward for the series on multi-rotors. I am sure a lot of us are badly in need of it.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, don't go to television. I can't afford to pay the ridiculous price for satellite or cable. If you go to television, I will lose access to your shows! I watch every episode and love the builds. FliteTest got me back into this hobby after almost a 30 year hiatus. Please don't go to television. The corporate devils that run television will steal your soul and ruin your show!! Stay on the internet, stay on YouTube, and keep your show accessible to everyone! I can't be the only person in this boat, if you also don't want FliteTest on television, speak up now, or we may lose them forever!!

I know that you think that television would have advantages, but I am quite sure you would alienate a large number of followers who either can't afford, or refuse to pay, the extortion like prices for cable or satellite.

Please stay on YouTube and keep you show accessible to everyone.

Just for clarification, television would be in addition to, not in lieu of our regular online programming. :)

That will depend if your TV deal will allow that to happen. They will want to control your life! I would thoroughly investigate all the implications of signing up with big television. They have been doing it long enough that they know full well how to completely take advantage of the little guys.

Flitetest has mentioned multiple times that any flitetest TV program would not replace their online content. They would not stop uploading videos to www.flitetest.com.

enjoyed your last broadcast and will be waiting on the VIGGEN Coverage , thanks to Alex for his replies to my questions.
Maybe it would be nice to know all the members first names , either with a picture of each as a member of your staff but it brings a feeling of being to know some one better ,maybe even a name tag.
Keep up the good work.

Enjoyed the honesty and straightforwardness in this episode. Also liked seeing Alex on camera for awhile! I love him in the podcasts, but it's great to see him on screen. He has become quite an integral member of the flitetest team!

Hi to the Fitetest crew. I would like to know when the Bloody Wonder will appear as a scratch built kit and be available for purchase. All of your other swappables are in the store, but no Bloody Wonder. Also please do a small indoor swappable, a lot of indoor facilities aren't big enough for an Old Fogey or a slow flying Speedster.

Can't wait for the APM as well as both the Viggen and Kraken. Thanks for all you do to keep people like me inspired. Maybe you could also do an episode with things you can do outside in the snow - like your 'snowball' (nutball) and the skis on the cub and also your transmitter glove thing that is nice when its cold out. Can't wait for monday's episode!
