Hell yeah brother, you're on the please before on YouTube channel I Drove the wrong car today to bring that home the other way. It's the same shape, emotions and couch through the doorway. Oh I forgot George Used to work at uh, two hunks, one truck or what was it called? two hugs, one chunk. Ah, you were the chunk dude.

Hold it up and close the door. You're golden. Oh yeah, You're good. you're in there.

Chuck Lucy Okay guys guys, welcome to Top Secret RC project that I'm surprising Helen with the guys with got a set of Hobby Zone floats right here that I run on my carbon Cub normally and I am going to attach them to my B2 right about here. I'll show you soon when the Project's done. I'm a little worried about the center of gravity if I don't have a battery here so I can't really do a weight and balance I have these attachment points so I'm gonna cut some holes in it in the B2 put it right here. sorry about Skiffs heavy breathing.

It happens and uh, it should be able to pop in right there. It looks so funny. Oh, it's doing a wheelie right there. That's probably a bad sign.

I'll wait for the battery. sorry we're Whispering because our baby's sleeping. but get ready for a success dude. Clean execution.

Oh, is it a paint job right? right? Oh okay. Oh, you're gonna open the door. I'm about to show you this took many minutes of engineering to get to this point. Okay, precise minutes roughly took me about a few minutes.

All right, it might take a few minutes for it to crash. Very dramatic Dude I was nervous I Am you have no idea, right? Well, I'm just wondering if we should order another one before this. We're gonna need another one. All right ladies and gentlemen, today we'll be testing the first.

McFarland Aviation B2 Mod Hot off the press, she is ready to hit the water. Absolutely. Without it, they call it an InterContinental aircraft, right? They fly these from continent to continent. They're over a lot of ocean.
Why not have a set of floats on it? You can land, catch some fish. You know, whatever you got to do. So this is the first step in my engineering to put a setup. Put a set of floats on this bad girl.

Wow. it's pretty nice. Wow. Risky Dude.

Yeah, did you put any rod holders in it? Uh, the fishing rods are just inside because the plane's huge in real life. So for when you're on the wings fishing, you need a place to put it down? Yeah, that's not a bad idea. So is it kind of water only right now? Well I don't know I Don't know how tall the gear is because Alan wouldn't let me have the transmitter for it so the years could potentially. the gear is still completely functional with it like this, right? Okay, but as you see when we take her to the lake in a minute, Perfect.

She's just gonna sit like that. Wow Dude. I Also didn't have the battery so I didn't get really get my weight and balance done. Hopefully it doesn't have too much nose work.

You really outline yourself here Bud. So that was the CG so the CG should be right in the middle of the float. realistically. I Think you're pretty good.

That's about the setup that's about the center point of the float. so this is much better than I thought it was going to be I Thought he was going to put some little wingtips on it I painted or something. I Thought you were going to put like a hooker on the bottom. like to drop stuff.

We could still drop a piece of fishing line and some hooks. Bobber goes under. Yep. floor it.

yeah and that will lift the nose. Yeah, it looks like it's gonna work. dude. I'd Put odds it's gonna looks like it's gonna work.

Let's see if it's gonna work. It has. no, it's gonna work. No choice.

But even if the floats collapse, it will probably float just on the bottom of the well. The planes made out of foam, which really helps. So it's basically a jet boat. Not gonna think today, we know that.

So the only thing left to do at this point is to go to the lake and maybe break a bottle of champagne on it in case things don't go. Yeah, we have a Heston so we're good. No no. I got a lake chose I Scoped out a small Lake Nice and long on our way to lunch.

Oh perfect. So let's load up. Sam got some Dr peas. Yeah, but it's not for me.

these are not for me. What do you think? What do you think about this thing? Are we going to the lake? We're going to the lake. We're going to the lake right now. Let's go.

You think it'll work? Thank you. If this man engineered right here, you know what's going to work. Yeah yeah, this is quite the pond. Definitely a body of water this large.

got to be one or two in it. It's all right. our intern is Gator Proof: Gator Proof: I'm a certified Florida Man Oh yeah. Red light? Perfect.
All right. Red means go. What could go wrong? Landing I Can't think of a single thing. Power check.

Uh one thing's for sure. there ain't no cones out there. Look at that. look at the flex.

Yeah I Wish I could I wish I had thrust each engine individually for turning because it's gonna not turn. So we gotta aim this thing. Perfect. Wait, Are you not going to try to take off out of the water? No.

I am. But we gotta. We gotta aim the thing because it won't be able to turn in the water. Okay, the longest path across the lake I Don't think we should take over the cross I Think we need to take off long ways.

We need to use some length of this. Pawn Maybe we should walk down here. face it this direction. Well so I was in the right spot glowing.

First the wind is coming this way a little bit. so let's go down here a little bit. Grab that unit. I would say hold it until we're pointed.

Just yeah. just aim it that way. All right. yeah.

I Have to get in like right about here and just aiming at that corner. that might be really slick when you step in settings. We should make sure it floats really quick. right here? Oh please.

float. Oh it's sinking. Oh no. Pull her up.

pull her up a little bit. No way. dude. I needed a tritoon.

Let's go get some balloons real quick. or maybe maybe two liter bottle and then we can go on plane. I'll hold it. dude.

the floats go under. No way you would think those things are. those are huge floats. They're all playing.

I think if you're on plane, it won't sink. Yeah. I mean we could hand launch it and then I could land it on the floats. Darn.

I think I think if he holds it, you rev the engines. Yeah. I actually do. There's like a B-52 Where Are You Gonna You do that would work.

It would keep it stable too. Dude, if you had some under the wing, you'd be set well. I Could always just double up the ones on the base I put two on each side. That's true.

Alan I Got more pontoons at my house. Let me just grab them, grab them and do. We'll do it after lunch. Everyone will get lunch.

Alan and I'll fix the plane meet back here in 30. Luckily I bought two kits because I needed the attachment points from both kits. so we just popped the other two pontoons onto the center and we're gonna see if it'll just float right now in my pond. Foreign? All right.

Version two is almost ready. All right. So we went ahead and drilled through these other pontoons. So now let's slide this pontoon into the center.

Oh, they're nice and firm too, so we can spread them out a little bit and then we just put this back on the end and we're a quad tune. Okay guys, here we go. We got bomber on floats stage two, quad float and it's been tested. It's all mounted up nice and firm.

Now they're all on the same rail. We shouldn't have to worry about anything falling off. There you go. That's so.
back to the pond we go. Um, oh, you did a flow test in the bathtub float test in the pond at my house. Okay, feeling good now. got the Quad tune out.

Second attempt: Where's the wind coming from? It's before now. Oh, it is right. look at the ripples. Is that good or bad? That's good.

All right. let's try this again. I'm ready Fresco Dude I am ready. Stealth Bomber Install B4 It's a B4 bomber on a steep spot.

Test of the swimming today. Push it man, do you know how to swim Heston No Here we go baby. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Oh dude. Oh I'm going for oh my goodness. I'm going for it. It's gonna work.

Let's Go baby Go Yeah dude. the Pontoon B2 baby looks like a champ before lunch government. Oh look at her fly. there was so much drag I was Full Throttle It just wouldn't go up.

It almost looks like you parked your Beach on a forge. Wow boys, she's flying all right. I'm gonna bring her on a nice clean, slow flyby. Oh it's still pretty quick.

Oh, you want to see a high speed flyback? I'll show you a high speed flyback? you already? You already know she can do it. High speed? Yeah, let me give you a low flyby. I Feel like those flybys were weak? Oh whoa. Gonna have to bring her in for a landing? dude.

One more really good flyby. There it is. Oh my goodness. All right here we go.

First landing on the quad tune Heston Get your flippers on. Here we go boys. You got your Landing lights on. Oh yeah.

gears down. Oh yeah. oh There She Goes she's turning Justin Go get it. It's actually dude.

Pretty good because it's dragging the rudder when you put the rudder out. Yeah dude. a little wet on the bottom. No big deal.

Grab the other battery Allen We're going back up dude. Not a single thing went wrong. It floated, it took off, it flew, it still travels fast and landed Flawless The B2 baby. It came in as unbreakable.

A little skip I Know it's a little a little higher speed on that approach, but it was. it was. You had to play it safe. You know this should be an option for motion.

RC The fact that they don't have this option. we patented it over lunch. Yeah, it was patented before lunch. I'll think about it.

Five million dollars. They can have the quad tune. B2 Lifestyle: It's just a barge. Give them an option.

There's a gap between there. We can get a launch right-handed Again, that was too good. That was butter. I Think we got to do a couple touch and goes.

You gotta get a high speed touching gun s That was perfect. You pull two behind that thing. You know the deal boys. Oh that was cool.

Oh can it Fly inverted though? Can you do some aerobatics with it? It definitely. Everything goes a lot slower now. Definitely willing to try inverted for a second. ready.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. you guys want an inverted pass. Inverted pontoon pass not standing here.

you trying to get her close to the water? Oh it's got to be close. It's gotta be okay. Whoa yeah. Do a little touching.

Go dude. High speed Touch and Go you want touch and go down. Come on. Touch and go Now High Speed touching goes.

You know you might end up losing your tunes. Let's do a little practice this little bounce. Oh oh nice dude. Dang it's B2 Dude High speed Touch and Go James this one's for you.

Oh here we go Wrong. Oh you back the gear I Can see it from oh how's the gear look Ty You're solid. Dude, it's perfect Is it? Oh it's not. It looks good on the camera.

Let me bring her in. Let me bring her in. Damn it. I Always end up damaging something on a flight.

That 80 mile an hour touching goes. Thanks a lot. James That coat hanger Rod needs to be upgraded 2016 Maybe some 3 30 second rod. look at that thing wrong.

Cheers! Oh oh, the gear is looking a little damaged here guys. your screws pull out. it looks fine. Give it a shake test.

Oh I Can't believe it right here. Yeah, that's no big deal. Yeah, just a little glue. Yeah, think about it.

I think floats and that weight sits on that so you don't even know. Yeah, don't even need any of the glue there. Well you know, and someone's got to test the stuff before we sell it to the government. Yeah, whoever.

Flying angry I Love how the uh oh my God didn't have enough power to get up. didn't have enough power. Well guys, we got some structural damage here on the B2 Um, you know, but this is just research and development part. The problem is she's got a lot of drag when she's on the water.

Couldn't get her off with that quarter battery we had left. Ended up putting her down hard. just damaged gear. The B2 itself's okay.

we lost the gear door but she'll pop back together. She'll be good to go. All in all, what do we got here? I'd say nine and a half out of ten. Nine and a half ten.

Big success. The B2 water bomber. Huge success, but that's it for now. Thanks for watching.

Do it for now. We'll freaking see you later. This is a little crusty. The floats are what broke the B2 Solid.

    So I was watching America in color on paramount and in the second episode of season 2 they mention how Henry Ford used model T polo as an advertising idea. And well I thought maybe you would like the idea of instead of having the danger ranger 500 you need to change it to danger ranger Polo or maybe even just have both I don't know but danger ranger polo definitely needs to be a thing

    I have a super old float plane video sitting "unlisted" on the channel. It's from 13 years ago, should I post it?
