Something I miss about the old videos was bringing up design failures like the pontoon bracing. 8 years later, I still love all of your videos though.

Love having Josh Scott on here. It just works. Kind of like the old Top Gear.

I've never flown rc planes or quads, I have 4 rc cars in storage, yet I love your videos, one for the way you are always genuinely respectful to everyone and the pure fun you have from the hobby. Thank you guys!

My favorite FT plane by far!!! I am a huge fan of the golden era of travel with the China Clipper and the Boeing B314 and my favorite is the Grumman Albatros (although a military/SAR aircraft). I especial liked you sharing your love of flight with your boys. The time invested with our children is1000x more valuable than any other moments in life.

I absolutely loved Tail Spin as a kid. This was so awesome to see you guys build and fly this plane, and it looked amazing. Thanks for sharing!

This series was my favorite series in my childhood . Nice greetings from Germany, I love your channel ! :)

Awesome design and a great episode guys!

I'm ordering my Sea Duck on Thursday, I've already watched the build video 5 times in anticipation along with all the other videos.

That's awesome and looks fun. The Conwing l-16 Sea Plane was always my favorite thing about that show. Can't explain it but just something about that plane and it's design and it's surf & turf capabilities, I seem to recall Blue could land it on land or sea, was the coolest thing to me at the time.

I loved tailspin as a kid!!! Thanks for bringing back some memories!

I hadn't realized that was the plane from Tale Spin. I was so drawn to your Sea Duck when I first seen it on your site. I couldn't figure out why I liked it so much, now I know, that was my favorite show as a child.

Just watched this one and the build vid for the first time. I have watched 100's of your more current vids...now watching some old ones. I have to say, this was some of the BEST videography you have done...when you got the boat moving and were filming the plane from the moving boat....absolutely beautiful!!!!! Greg

Got me right in the feels with the Tale Spin.

00:50 oh god please don't let disney the lord of evil strike flite test down with a copyright claim, they've taken stuff down with LESS footage

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!! I hope I had known this channel sooner, you guys make some of my childhood dreams a reality.

Tail Spin one of the best cartoons on the Telly........now a recreation of the Sea Duck.....Excellent and a kit....you guys ROCK !!!

Wow, just WOW!! You guys are awesome:D This plane brings back so many memories of that cartoon series when I was 14 or 15. Well done!!

So... now we need Darkwing Duck's Thunderquack and the Ranger Plane from Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers.

Love is real. Thanks Flite Test Crew... You guys are the best.

just maidened my FT Sea Duck, off the water, no winds, flat as can be but can't remember i've ever been this nervous. 2 circuits and had to land it. all went wel but so nervous forgot to put the video cam on, and put my glasses on my face... must be because of the possible trouble recovering the Sea Duck when flying it goes pearshaped. need lots more expo that's for sure but CG was perfect out of the box. thanks FT!

Awesome build! that really brings memories watching that plane. Now you just need some air pirates and perhaps a thembrian bomber that drops bathtubs.

Josh Scott, good to see you again! You're an essential part of the show!!!

Thanks for bringing some good memories of my childhood !!

I love Balu because he's answered basically all my comments on flight test and he definitely deserves a reconnection on this show!! Good job, Andrews rc

Josh Scott is back! Yay! I always get a chuckle from his dry humour. :-)

I dont get it, why would you dislike this? Just leave the video. These guys are nothing but good hearted and fun individuals. Cheers testflite, im watching all your videos rn!

Loved this episode! It is awesome to see how much fun they all have, and it makes me want to get out there. I think that is the goal of this channel, and if so mission accomplished. Keep the quality content coming!

Just discovered your channel, and super awesome the planes yall have built and flown. More cartoon planes!!! Swatkats F14 TomCat, Marvel Avengers Sheild plane, ugh my mind is on overload!! Again awesome stuff guys!!!

The intro brought back so many memories of the cartoon. Great Work as usual!

Gotta love the little montages throughout.

The Sea Duck is the entire reason I got into airplanes as a kid, seeing a model of it flying was like watching a childhood dream come true. Now I need to find a way to justify a kit in my budget, because I have to have this.

Tale Spin was a cartoon in a class of its own. I can't believe you guys did this build. Love it!

I can't wait to fly this one! Good job guys!

Thanks so much guys. I'm on simulator for the rainy or too windy days. Thank you, yes, you, who makes simulator models so realistic. Cheers.

I really want a Guinea Pig, so I had the idea to make one into a seaplane, since I have a lot of water near where I live. Then I thought, "Why not make it a replica of the SeaDuck, while I"m at it?" Then before I even buy foam-board, this happens. Excellent!

Amazing footage of an amazing little flying boat. Excellent job guys

The basic kit is $46 bucks!? That's it? Awesome I truly hope you sell a million of these. Great kit and the build video is worth the watch. Keep up the great work Flight Test!

thanks for bringing back that childhood memory of that cartoon, and the other afternoon cartoons that Josh mentioned. smiles the whole vid. great build also. you guys are a great family there! if i get the money to frivolously spend, am so gettin the kit. always wanted to get flyin, have a partially built quad lol but times being as they are. til then am vicariously livin through you gents

omg!!!! thank you soooooo much! I've wanted to see someone build a sea duck like this forever!

J&J- I've thought about doing a white foam Johnny Quest jet for years now, just been too busy, plus all my stuff is for fuel flying.. Electrics look like the answer to many problems with keeping fields. Anyway, after seeing this video, I thought "Why not?" So I humbly suggest YOU guys do it- you're already set up for it and the ideas about other cartoon airplanes really kind of strikes a chord. I'm 58, so I was watching the original JQ cartoons and Dr. Quest's jet in that era was very sleek and Concord-ish. I've not seen the new one so I can't really comment on it.. You guys are doing a great job with the Flite Test videos, I always enjoy them. Fly Safe- Gus

love the sea duck bringing back great childhood memories.. but now you guys must build an iron vulture with working/ opening mouth releasing little micro quads or planes, if anyone can make it fly its flitetest.

LOL that intro was amazing! ;) And I know you're tired of hearing it but man I can't wait until I get one built.

NEW CHALLENGE: Build the Ranger Plane from Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers. Complete with the flapping wings, helium balloon, and toilet plunger landing gear.

Love Flitetest. Every episode is so entertaining. Been watching for years now but have yet to get into a plane (I have 2 DJI drones). I really should do it this year.

where did other Josh come from? Haven't seen him in a long time! Awesome to see you back!

Wow! Probably the best episode ever Thanks for the link to the simulators

i purchased two of these sea duck kits from you guys. I love this plane!

RW:my childhood dream come true,to see a actual model of The Sea Duck in action makes me happy😁👍

Oh man the childhood memories, loved to watch balu and his crew ! :D

great episode! really brought back memories of my youth!! remember watching tail spin,while running around the living room with my gi Joe Sr 22!! awsome work guys!

This is going to be my first build. I cant wait.

Looks awesome! Been looking forward to this ever since the facebook video. Can't wait to build one.

I'm almost 50, in 10 seconds of music, my foot started tapping lol. "I know that music from something" Great build & killer theme 👍. My favorite episode thanks. 🏆Winner

Josh, we missed you!

That opening was awesome!!

Love to see josh back again!

Great fun! Used to love that cartoon. That thing flies so nicely.

Amazing!!! Crazy about your mini Corsair -- given it's so small warbird, but so stable and predictable in air and so much fun. Think, i will go with this Sea Duck next. Thank you and hello from Toronto!

That intro was amazing!! I loved watching Talespin when I was a kid! I've got to build one!

this video was enough to make me subscribe to this channel, talespin is the reason why I love rc planes

I just googled for and rc sea duck 2 days ago, and here you guys are!!

I love how much it looks like the duck from talespin! Looks really nice

Soooo gonna build this and add Baloo and kit stickers in the windows! What I REALLY want next from Flitetest is to step away from the square planes. I want foam versions of Guillows-type kits. Three or four sheets of foam with laser cut bulkheads that you can pop out with strips of foam..... Full curves on future planes!

I absolutely love the design of this plane. It's beautiful. And it seems to fly great. I want one badly. Good job guys. Keep it up. Looking forward to the next awesome designs.

Brought back some good memories - spent some time at Lake Mohawk when I was a kid...so weird seeing it on KZfaq! lol

this is my favourite of your planes - beautiful!

You just brought a tear to my eye. ♥

I have an idea for a plane, if anyone's interested. I've noticed that Flite Test has planes that are maneuverable, planes that are easy to fly, planes that can carry large payloads, and much more, but some categories that aren't covered as much by Flite Test are speed and war birds. Now, there is the F4u, that you released recently, but there aren't any bomber or attack planes that are offered. If you were to build an A26 Invader RC Plane, then you could cover both subjects, with a relatively simple plan. The plane itself was one of the fastest propeller bombers ever built, with top speeds reaching nearly 400 mph, aswell as maneuverabilty being comparable to that of a p51's. First made in WWII, It didn't see much action since it was made later in the war, but it fought in the Korean War, and the Vietnam war, and is still used for fire bombing today. By replicating this brilliant airframe into RC, you could deliver speed and aerobatics, with the aesthetic apeal of a twin engine medium attack bomber. As well, any reference needed for constructing plans, I could provide, as I'm co-crewchief on an A26c, that is currently being restored for Pacific Coast Air Musem, and we both have the plane nearly complete, as well as multiple books of the parts lists and diagrams originally made for constructing the aircraft. Thanks for the consideration. -Dane

Tailspin was one of my favs as a kid! Great video thank you for reminding me of the show with this great episode

very cool awesome build loved watching tailspin growing up

Wow, good video guys. Might have to watch this episode twice. And love the sea duck. Brings back so many good cartoon memories. Wish I lived near some water... lol

I'm so jealous. I only managed to make a paper model for display, but no way can I ever dream of making a fully functional flying one!

Talespin.. That reminds of my childhood.. Those cartoons were really amazing, compare to today's cartoons.

great show guys was great to see Josh S back, don't comment much but had too this time.Wish your plane were not so expensive to ship to New Zealand. and thank you Peter for some very good Planes/Plans

Definitely Subscribed. This channel is awesome you guys always look like your having a blast.

Omg thank you guys so much. I was watching some other videos and thought how cool it would be if you did the sea duck I so freaking appreciate!!!!!!!!!

Your crash intros are my favorite 😂

Coolest transition between intro short and title clip.

I actually watched both of those movies, on Amazon, because I wanted to see what the deal was with the models. Good stuff!

Screw the dislikes, only a true fan of the show will love this.

I love this. I already have two hobbies (fishkeeping and gaming), so I can't take on a third. But man, this plane sure makes me want to.

My childhood has come back to me in a good way lol!

Cant wait for the build video.

this has to be the coolest one yet. i have to get some for my boys

16:07 Same here Josh&Josh along with ''Ducktales'',''Chip&Dale-Rescue Rangers''&''Darkwing Duck'' too oh the memories! 17:48 Oh yes I can't wait! Cool looking plane guys I would love to see a mini version someday?

I loved that show as a kid, heck I love it all growed up with my own kid, despite not seeing it in years. Would be nice to see it back on television.

Wow Brings back Childhood memories when i loved watching the tv show and liked the plane so much i would make it out of cardboard tape and paint it to as close as the real thing. I made it with many versions including the souped up turbo version like in the show. I had fun always making them! I think ill go full scale RC this time with the blueprints. Thanks for this! 👍

Looks great guys! I grew up with that show too (as well as the others) and i was seriously considering building a Seaduck too.

I knew you couldnt resist doing that intro XD

Talespin was a kid friendly re-imagined version of ABC's "Tales Of The Gold Monkey." If you liked Talespin as a child you'll appreciate Tales Of The Gold Monkey! Good show!

Balu has helped me in the past! Thanks man! Appreciated!

For me it wasn't talespin that made me love seaplanes. I did watch it a bit, but I was already an adult by the time of it's first release. No for me, seaplanes were the focus of the 1982 live action tv series called Tales of the Gold Monkey, in which the show's hero flies a Grumman Goose called "Cutter's Goose"", but most often just called "The Goose" in the show. Being so invested as you are in aeronautics, I would hope you've heard of this show. It takes place before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on a fictional South Pacific island called Bora Gora. This show was one of my favorite shows as a kid, and I still love it today, even though I see how bad some of it's episodes are. The series is available on DVD. I still haven't bitten the bullet and tried RC aircraft, beyond a Steampunk RC Dirigible I built a few years ago, which didn't fly well at all. :) But watching your channel is making me want to dive in to the hobby. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8p2gZmSzNGynoU.html

Cool looking drone!

Man, what a FANTASTIC airplane! :D

I haven't watched the video but I already liked because Tales Spin. Great job on design and paint I recognized it from the thumb nail image.

Just when I thought I wouldn't be building another foam/paper plane, you suck me back in again!

As always. You all do great stuff.

OH MAN, I completely forgot about Talespin. It was such a great show!

Hi all at flight test. The plane along side the boat looked so cool. Well done. Keith.

Awesome! My next build!!!!!! Excellent job guys!
