In the video, Josh and Alex from FliteTest combine RC cars with RC planes by attempting to drop RC cars from a plane. They build a monster-sized guinea pig plane using new, thicker, waterproof foam. The build process includes creating a fuselage, installing tail feathers, and constructing wings with a Clark Y airfoil for better flight characteristics.
They conduct tests to ensure the plane can carry the weight of the RC cars and deploy them safely with parachutes. After some trial and error with parachute deployment and balancing the plane's center of gravity, they successfully drop an RC car from the plane using a makeshift parachute made from a trash bag.
The video also features a sponsored segment promoting Raid Shadow Legends, an RPG game for mobile devices.
Overall, the episode showcases the creativity and engineering involved in merging two hobbies, culminating in a successful drop of an RC car from an RC plane.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. A monster size guinea pig plane was built to drop RC cars.
2. The plane was built using Adams ready board, a new foam that is thicker and waterproof.
3. The glue used in the construction dried quicker, providing more strength with less quantity needed.
4. The goal was to make the larger planes not more difficult or time-consuming to build than the original size.
5. The fuselage of the monster guinea pig was completed in about two and a half hours.
6. The plane's wingspan is approximately 108 inches.
7. A new foam board called the sky van was built over a weekend.
8. The sky van is designed to carry and drop RC rock crawling cars with parachutes.
9. A makeshift DIY parachute was created using a giant trash bag for the RC cars.
10. The parachute test with water bottles simulating the weight of the RC cars was unsuccessful.
11. A second parachute test was conducted using a sandbag to simulate the RC car's weight.
12. The plane's center of gravity was adjusted for proper balance before flight.
13. The RC car was successfully dropped from the plane using a parachute made from a trash bag.
