Escuchar RC Heli Nation v3

Simply put, one of us is leaving the show.  You’ll have to tune in to find out who.  What does this mean for the podcast?  Good things we think, hang in there while we figure out a new course for the show and thanks for your support!

While we don't have Dan this week, the rest of the gang is all here, including Devin back from his long work project deep in the land of corn.  This week we focus on the largest funfly in the U.S.:  IRCHA and hear all about it from Devin and Rob McLellan's perspective, how was it, pilot count, competitions, vendors...   all the updates. We also had a chance to sit down with US Team Assistant Manager and NATs competitor Brian Byrdsong to catch up on the events leading into IRCHA, and get a behind the scenes view of the US World's Team. All that and more in this week's episode, plus the usual news and shenanigans.

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing longtime scale modeller and retired fullscale helicopter pilot Mr Jon Ellis.  We get to learn a little bit about what it takes to get into scale helicopters and what it's like to fly a huge quarter scale model helicopter. There's also the usual news and shenanigans, but we're saving the IRCHA wrap up for next week with some special guests.  We hope you'll enjoy getting a chance to hear from one of America's premiere scale modellers.

This week most of the crew are back!  Devin is still somewhere in the middle of the country turning tricks for fivers…  We hope to see him back soon.  This week we are talking about selling and buying used helis.  Some do’s and don’ts of the buying and selling process.

This week the crew of Nick, Rob McClellan, Rob Boyd, and Scott catchup on all things heli.  Rob flies so much we're all jealous, Scott's thinking scale, Nick is struggling with Nitro, and Rob continues his steady streak.  So business as usual! The team delivers the news including a new heli release, and then after putting it off for a few weeks we finally get around to having a basic discussion about how to stay safe in the hobby for beginners.  The basics of throttle cuts and hold, battery safety, flying safety, and nitro safety.  A well rounded safety discussion for those new to the hobby. As always thanks for all the support as we approach a full year on the air!
