a guy in a basement with no windows should have been a red flag LOL
my dad once told me a story about lighting farts for fun in the army, the private got 3 days solitary for burning a hole in the "back" of his uniform.... same reasoning

This kids have a lot of fun experimenting with new things and showing them to the public.. Believe it or not this free video channel is the equivalent of RCM or Model Airplane News of the 21th century.

Unlike other online channels, FliteTest heavily promotes scratch building, which is certainly something I support as well.

Definitely. In terms of getting people excited about the hobby, I think FliteTest has easily done more than any single organization in the past ten years. Their videos are some of the most well produced and fun takes on R/C, and it really shows in the viewer statistics and from what I've heard from friends and family who I'd never suspect would be watching these guys on YouTube!

EDIT : they said they sell thousands of their laser cut kits a month, they must have a dozen employees and they just sold the company.I have never seen anything attract more young people to RC than these guys
EDIT 2 they raised over US$37K on kickstarter to prefund their FIRST flying event. First one. 600 pilots

So many things wrong with this but .......You have to admire their creativity and ingenuity. Not enough of that going on with today's kids. Maybe not so safe but fun to watch! A very small percentage can really afford the big bucks of a real turbine. But we all understand the sound and thrill of them. These guys got that thrill for less money than we spend on a fuel pump!
