FT Mighty Mini Explorer
The FT Mighty Mini Explorer was created to give you the ultimate first experience of both building and flying. At Flite Test, we love to create experiences that are rewarding, educational, and most of all fun! We have learned so much over the past 14 years and have used that knowledge to create the ultimate trainer. This resulted in a small but incredibly durable aircraft that can be built in as little as one hour and go from a simple two channel glider to an advanced four channel platform that is perfect for aerobatics and even FPV. We used the successful designs that our community liked and incorporated them into the FT Mighty Mini Explorer.
FT EZ Fantasy Pack
The FT EZ Fantasy Pack is a community release from our good friends Ben and Natalie Harbor. Both Ben and Natalie are passionate about flight and education. This 3-pack design was created to allow people to build iconic beasts of fiction and bring them to life in the skies.
Each plane can be built in as little as 15 minutes and can easily fly for up to 8 minutes per battery. Each one of these designs, the FT EZ Pegasus, the FT EZ Dragon, and the FT EZ Phoenix, feature different flight characteristics ranging from fast and smooth to slow and maneuverable. These planes are at home in a large gymnasium as well as your backyard on a calm night.
FT Tubby B-17
The FT Tubby B-17 has been a passion project for Josh for many years. Thanks to John Overstreet, the father of Master Series builds, Josh has been given the skills needed to create an advanced-looking but easy to build scale representation of one of the most iconic aircraft in the world!
The FT Tubby B-17 was designed to be fun to look at, build, and fly! This aircraft features lines that represent a mix of cartoon fatty aircraft and some of our favorite vintage cartoons, this model walks the line between scale and art. It was also designed for function, with a bomb bay that can carry up to 3lb of payload! The Tubby B-17 will look great on the ground but really shine in the air when you are flying it on your favorite mission to inspire young children or doing incredible aerobatics.
FT Slow Stick S250
The FT Slow Stick S250 is inspired by the classic early electric flier, GWS Slow Stick, which was the entry point for many new pilots. We wanted to take that iconic plane from the past and bring it back to life. The FT Slow Stick S250 was designed to introduce you to the DIY building and 3D printing space. It offers a great flight experience wrapped up in a sub-250-gram aircraft that can be flown without regulations. This design is perfect for new pilots and those looking for a relaxing flight in their backyard or even a large gym.
FT B-25 Mitchell
The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Major General William “Billy” Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. In honor of the original, the FT B-25 Mitchell takes the prestigious history and identifiable airframe characteristics and combines them to make a pleasurable building and flying model. The FT B-25 can be powered on Power Pack B Twin or C Twin, depending on desired flight. One unique characteristic of the FT B-25 is its fully operational bomb hatch, that can use the extra servo of a power pack. There is also an optional landing gear that makes take-off and landing an enjoyable part of your experience.
FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey
The FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey MKR2 is a return to the golden age of model aviation with an FT Twist. Back when R/C was just a dream, and free-flight was the only option, designs that required extreme stability and gentle flight characteristics were a must. This is where Josh’s personal childhood memories and love of flying started with his dad. Classic designs like the Buzzard bombshell, the Powerhouse, and the Quaker shaped both his memories and knowledge of flight. The FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey MKR2, along with its larger version, are a mash-up of all those designs to both honor them and to create a truly gentle and stable foam old-timer. This Mighty Mini version provides even more stability and smooth flight than the original. With a build time under 2 hours, and with the simple 3ch controls, you can enjoy classic maneuvers like loops, barrel rolls, wing overs, and so much more. The FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey MKR2 can be your first build, or one of many, with a weight under 250 grams.
