Biggest FOAM rc airplane Crashes!

Previously on this episode of Peter Shrevepool. Last year we made this giant RC airplane. It had over 50 engines but it was kind of a failure. That didn't go very well. So this year we're going to go even bigger. I need to build this really really big airplane to 1. Redeem myself and 2. Make it survive a huge battle royale versus like a hundred smaller RC airplanes. Josh is going to help me hot wire these foam wings and we're going to take these new wings and glue them together out of the field. If you guys want to see more intricate stuff about like the hot wire and more of the build process check it out on flight test. This video is done in collaboration with them so huge thanks to them for helping make this happen. We got these hot wire wings that are in the shape of the right profile. Obviously it's a little noodley but when we put when we skin it with the foam board it should be pretty sturdy. The neat thing about the wing design is that the d-profile of the wing in the front is all solid foam so it should be really strong because the goal for this airplane is to fly and then survive tons of smaller airplanes running into it trying to bring it down. So on the back we have foam that just covers up the ribs to make the wing super lightweight because I'm really expecting a very very light wing loading so the plane can fly very slowly so it has less energy to impart onto planes or perhaps people if I lose control of it. There's still a little bit of work to do as far as building goes because I wanted you know the kids to have something to do because for all of you who don't know flight fest is this annual event that happens every single year with tons of people that just show up to just get high in the sky with airplanes. This build is going along pretty well I have Steve and my brother guiding people to what to do he's a CH-47 mechanic he's got this I think. Now I should probably reiterate that this plane is very very big it's actually bigger than all of my ultralights that I've built in the past it's got a wingspan of 32 feet it's about the same as the one we made last year but we're going to ignore that because the one last year you know only went halfway around the field. This year I will not be satisfied until the plane flies. This build is going pretty awesome but unfortunately looks like everyone's stolen the outlets so quick shout out to Zendura for sending me this super base pro this thing is pretty sweet it's got outlets charges my batteries we can use this hot knife with it pretty sick anyways thanks to them for sending me this thing out and it's super portable for this build we've got just four motors I originally wanted 100 motors but unfortunately the shipper that I ordered these from completely screwed up and didn't send me my motors so anyways we got these four giant monster motors from flight test I think this should produce a collective thrust of around 60 pounds which should be more than enough to fly this plane we're working on the plane it's getting closer currently we're working on a radio install but then we'll be good for a quick maiden flight the goal is to quickly fly the airplane determine that it works once the seven o'clock combat comes around we're gonna put this thing in there and I need all you guys to try to bring it down now the plane is complete we have to get this thing out of the tent I think it's gonna fit over uh yes we're just doing the shimmy we did this last year we're gonna slide the tail to one side and then get it out time to attach the wings to the fuselage so I got these handy dandy ratchet straps because everyone puts ratchet straps to attach their wings it's honestly like the old model airplanes the rubber bands except really heavy duty ratchet straps and I think this is gonna hold great not so light as I thought it's time for the first flight now I have set this up a little bit tail heavy because I remember last year the first time I tried it I tried to balance it at one fourth of the quarter of the wingspan but anyways I just made the plane crash because it was just too nose heavy and it just dived off there accelerating too much then hit the ground and it was all over flashback over so now we're gonna actually try this plane okay I took too many liberties it was actually just too tail heavy anyways I just managed to catch it with a thrust and not do too much damage but unfortunately this wing is a little sad right now uh it turns out the little glue joints failed not the spars the glue joint um what are these plates called these plates that I made out of plywood here is just solely relying on Gorilla Glue to hold together so these broke we're gonna get some cap strips out of aluminum put these on top Josh is gonna run a store and grab these we're gonna put them in and then we should be good to go for another trial flight okay that looks good it's just definitely a lot sturdier without a whole lot more so let's get this thing on the cart and try it again this bad boy's not going anywhere but uh time for the real maiden flight and then we can get on to the carnage okay here we go it flies oh no oh no I'm losing it it's like not too much all right all right it's back in the air it's back in the air we're good we're good now it's time to land it look out Dave here it comes okay so I redeemed myself the plane did fly but now it's time for the thing you actually probably clicked for a hundred smaller airplanes versus the world's largest foam airplane so here's another flight fest tradition every year they tend to throw all their smaller airplanes up in the sky and they try to rem at each other usually it's like a last man standing style derby where the last one's still flying usually wins a pretty cool prize but sometimes it gets a little bit boring so they have them do something special at the very end to try to win some prizes now the prize for them to take me down is bragging rights I didn't bring any prizes all right anyways let's get this show on the road get the airplane in the air let's go I think we just got hit but I'm losing motor power oh man the plane went down I don't know what that was I was trying to give it all the beans you know what how many beans I was giving it with the controller it was going down so I tried to milk it well I couldn't it's just out there somewhere man that sucks I could have really kept flying this thing and it looks like the motors are still even working so it didn't even get hit there I wanted this to be a little more spectacular oh I think I know what it is I think we wrapped these escs up a little bit too much for armor and unfortunately I think they overheated and simply just stopped producing power another year another airplane successfully completed the children have now decided to feast on the carcass of my poor airplane
