Flite Test - 100mph under $100 - CHALLENGE

This week we have something a little different. No reviews, no events, no tips, just a small bet between friends. Is it possible to build a foam airplane, for under a hundred dollars, that can fly faster than a hundred miles an hour? Josh Bixler is sure that his wrinkled tape covered foam box with wings can succeed with speed. Josh Scott weighs the options and looks at the red flying brick with doubt. The challenge has been set, rules have been drafted, and the consequences have been decided. Who wins, who loses, and who will be looking a little different in the next episode? Watch and find out.
