We Modded RC Cars to FLY! *EXTREME DROP TEST CHALLENGE*

Feb 23, 2020
oh don't do that don't do that what's up guys they say we're modifying rc

cars

to fly and then we'll

drop

them from a giant 2000 foot clip okay maybe it's not that high at all Either way, you can build any gadget you want. In your rc car you just have to take it to the ground safely, so there will be two types of

cars

, one the easy car which is small and the difficult car which is gigantic now, if you can get your car safely to the ground, get one point, you get one point for the small car and three points for that gigantic car.

Jeff is going to start building first, so let's get started, get it done, so this is the car I'm working with, as you can see, nice and colorful, very colorful, so what? What we're doing here is turning this into a glider using some foam board and some dowels and some glue and some tape and yeah, fantastic, so this is a very complicated process because the planes operated are very physical lots. specific. to create an aerodynamic profile that is the wing and with a specific shape so that it creates enough lift to fly. This is what I'm using to hold the wing.

More Interesting Facts About,

They are called stringers. I'm also using a peg. We have a very specific technique. to create a foldable and foam board, there is a line here is that a very specific measurement doesn't seem like anything great right now, but wait, keep in mind that this is the first time I'm making a plane with a foam board, well , now what we need to do is start folding this here. We don't want to do it too much. We don't want to break the foam board. Do the same with this one. It's nice and easy. Do that and I'm a little nervous.

I didn't want to break it because that means I have to do all these measurements again, so now I can fold this all the way down and we haven't broken anything. Oh, this is perfect, this is absolutely exactly what I need. There will be little stringer supports scattered around and then the wooden support stringer will go between them, so now we're going to apply hot glue and we're going to place the stringer right here and now we need to apply glue. on this side as well so you can see the lines, but believe me, they are very measured and as you will see, it creates this little groove that will fit perfectly.

Our next step is to fold this guy over you, you can see that aerodynamic profile. The shape we're trying to get you probably don't know what it looks like, but trust me, I do and we're basically going to match the exact same wing here, putting them together so that we get a wing this long. It's going to be cool, so the wing is glued on, we've got the spar inside, oh, nice, it's actually pretty, like it's flexing it pretty good and it's pretty strong. In fact, I'm going to cut a hole through the body and fit it. here and then it's just going to slide and then we'll have a wing like that so my wing structures are complete, we attach the wing to the fuselage, that's what the body of an airplane is called, but it's a car, let's call a car car solar and a horizontal and vertical stabilizer and these are some props to keep it strong.
I want to show you guys that the wings will work, so we're going to throw this off the diving board tower and you're going to see this thing. flying that's risky you could break your wings right here if you don't fly three two one whoa it works I'm going to call it the car plane playing car what the car plane playing car we're going to take it to the street look how it works it looks so cool oh that slid buddy I think once we take it off like a blob it will get enough speed to fly because it completely slid onto the sidewalk it may not fly now but once we fall off a cliff I'm pretty I'm sure it'll fly, buddy, so now Robert's going to build his contraption.
I have a good idea, let's wait and see, so in my build we have pipe tarp and gorilla tape. I saw the blueprint for Robert's Design, let me tell you, this one is definitely a little bit conventional, uh, conventional, unconventional, unconventional, um, and I'm very interested to see if it's going to fly, yeah, I have to make sure that all these are tight, wait two four, okay, we're good, guys, we're. just lifting up the frame, this big guy goes right here, it just looks like we have the frame up, bro, so you can see it looks like a house.
I have some doubts about this, it is much more than a house. I'm just saying you know what it is. a little heavy for the air to hold the boom roast, so now we need to put this tarp on the right rope, okay, someone wrote some hieroglyphs on my pipe here, rubbing is cool, how do I do that? Laying the foundation, now comes the tedious part of turning the tape off hey, what are you? Which I only hope because Mr. Grandpa here is taking his time, okay Rob, so tell me what your scientific explanation is for this and why you think it's going to fly.
My scientific reason is typical. that I'm building this for fun and I don't have a scientific reason, I don't need a scientific reason because I just love myself, I'm not having fun, it's fun, I'll fly it, yeah, pilot Jeff thinks there's a lot of surface area. but there is a lot of parasite resistance. You have this pipe that is creating more resistance. Are you even considering the center of gravity of the thing? You guys might be thinking that I'm helping the router because I'm a good brother. I'm actually just helping you because I'm impatient and I want it to be over Hey guys, it's done, look at all this tape, I'm so excited to see you guys put this in the car, let me guess, you're just going to record it in how Damn, are you going to place this theft?
Hey Rob I would suggest taking off your body and not even having it there so that's what Robert did and we'll record it when we get to our launch site because we have to put the battery in and in order for us to put the battery in the car it has It has to be turned off before I take it because I'm probably going to use the whole thing of this, what do you call it? the puppy graphic the ghost menaces that's what it's called okay i'm just kidding it's called flex tarp okay fluffy tarp let's build it chris is going to build his now so my plan for my car , I will build a parachute and bring him safely. my car to the ground I cut this circular tarp, it was a little difficult and then I also marked, you can see here here, this is where the ropes will go with the tape, the next step is a lot of fun, let's take this. pole here and uh, the reason I'm doing this is because we need each rope to be exactly the same length, otherwise you're going to fall apart, we're going to lose air and our car is going to crash into the ground. wrap this uh-huh like this I need 30 ropes 30. so I need 15 on each side okay remember we need all of these ropes to be exactly the same length if I

drop

them I feel like it's going to get really tangled here we go oh no I did this, oh god, I just felt it tingly, wait a minute, maybe if I do this, okay, now I cut here and then they'll all be the same length.
We're going to use some nice strong gorilla tape. We're going to try to put as much surface area here as possible, so we're going to go like this and wrap it a couple of times and now we put the perfect rope, that's perfect there, so this might take a while. but I'm going to put a string on each of these lines and then it will be almost complete, so this is the final alignment and this is the most important part, so we need to make sure that all of these strings are tight and right in the middle, okay, it looks pretty good, yes, it looks good, let's try it and see if it works.
It works great so now I have to connect it to the rc car. I think my rc car has a great chance of making it. down safely, so we have to cut a hole in the top of the car here, okay, we'll get it in here, so we're going to tie this up like this, well, what if it's going to work? Oh, this is crazy, it will fly away totally slowing down. Put it down buddy, I think yours is going to work, look it's completely stopping the car from moving, okay, so all of our builds are complete.
I'm going to call mine rc jellyfish, oh, because it looks like a jellyfish. I like your name. Guys, we have our big uh rc wing and here's the mini one we have, Buzz Lightyear here, uh, hands up and everything, and my little parachute is now complete, so I'm going to try to protect Mario. Here it goes. Hey, I didn't really put it in. so much effort on the little parachute and I also didn't realize how heavy mario was so I have a bad feeling towards mario let's go to watertown right now and try these rc cars guys let's go to our undisclosed. location to

test

these guys oh don't do that don't do that we're going to fly on a very special occasion right now we have all our stuff ready and we're going to climb that tower right behind us look at this big tower we're going to launch our step from it , let's do it, it's huge, it's a little breezy up here, that's actually good for mine, it'll help me get more elevation.
I'm going to have to take off towards the window. I'm going to take off my little steering wheel, let's see what happens. Are you ready? It didn't even fly, I think it crashed, it landed on its uh, one wheel came off, although my little one didn't fly, I hope this isn't a harbinger of my big one. let's see if roberts will fly here we go, uh, let's see if robert will fly, they're so slow, anyone around here I'll try again, okay, here we go, come on, buzz, okay, that one clearly sucks, although I didn't break. okay, okay, here goes mario robert and I don't get the point because none of ours work here goes mario come on mario oh, what happened?
The parachute worked, but it hit the ground pretty hard, but none of the little ones flew. No. let's get an extra point, I have a good feeling about this, okay, let's see what happens, okay, we'll send it, are you ready? I wonder what will happen. That works so well. Holy cow and it's okay too, okay, grab it. Dude, I get a victory point for protecting him, trash is three points, oh three, dude, I love the last words for your flying carpet, I hope it works out well, come on, let's do it. Jeffree says you always need scientific logic and reasoning.
I say no, just have fun. with its construction ready, it died, well guys, let's discard this thing that is a characteristic of a very tail-heavy vehicle because it just got out of control, if that were the case, I think that if it had been mounted higher up, it would have served as a lot. best i think the rc car is safe and it definitely flew oh buddy this week it's going to take off in the air oh well it worked so i got three points it landed so softly i don't know really yeah it's as if all of ours protected.
Do we need to like to rate which one did better? I think we all know who is the best because we all know Jeffy is the best. Well, mine landed softly. Well, Jeffrey flew further. Anyway, you vote on it. poll who do you think was the best, yeah, and then we'll let the polls figure it out, at least we all successfully completed this

challenge

without breaking our cars, yeah, through that, very good, it was fun, it was a lot of fun, well , we hope you do. guys you enjoyed this video be sure to check out our other videos click here to see the previous video click on jeffree's space to see the youtuber video click on my face to subscribe yeah ok see ya next time and we'll slap Christmas in the face.
