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 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!

Rob Mctune joins us this week… I know, I know… Again! He is hard to get rid of! Seriously though we are happy to have Rob join us while Devin is away working this summer. Today we hear all about the Ohio Heli Throwdown! From the sounds of it, those of us who didn’t make it out to Ohio really missed a good one! So plan to put it on your calendar next year!

A bit of an unusual crew this week... With Dan, Scott, and Devin all out for various reasons Rob and Nick are joined by a well known fixture in U.S. hobby circles Rob McClellan, AKA Devin's dad, AKA affectionately known as "McTune" for his deep nitro knowledge and skills.
The trio catch up, Nick shares his why you should never swap an FBL out at 6am before you've had a full cup of coffee story, and McTune gets paid to blow stuff up. There's some news and then we spend the rest of the episode hearing about McTunes long history in the hobby, wiring up helicopters to car batteries and other crazy adventures along the way in the early days of the hobby. Rob McLellan is a rarity in that he's never taken a break from the hobby and has been in it for over 30 years. You'll hear us mention talk of a brief safety overview for the beginners... but we had so much fun chatting we'll push that to another episode.
As always, thanks for listening, and thanks for all the emails. We appreciate your support! If you haven't already head on over to facebook and like our page at https://www.facebook.com/RCHNV3.

This week, we focus on hearing about Scott and Devin's experiences at the recent Spring Fling funfly in Virginia. Devin crashes the flash (again), Scott sets the all time crash record for the same battery pack, plays peek-a-boo with the clouds, and they both spend a rained out Friday learning what deluge means.
Nick's out of town this week but joins us for the news, and Dan drops by the funfly to say hi to the boys. All this and more this week...
As always, thanks for listening! Find us on facebook and follow us for updates.

This week the gang is hard at work to make sure you have something to listen to on the way to the Spring Fling fun fly in Virginia. We're releasing early to help those of you out with long drives. We don't always record an extra large episode, but when we do, it's a doosey! Lots of surprises along the way, some special guests (be sure and listen to the end!) and the usual news and shenanigans.
There's still plenty of seriousness in this episode though, the gang chats through all the most popular current offerings in the 550-700 size heli market. Hear what we think of the helis, and the brands behind them, and get a few heli-history lessons along the way.
We've also got our first remote news segment, including a very special guest reporter that you won't want to miss.
We also let you take a peek behind the curtain on this one. We left in a lot of things we might normally take out... So you get a behind the scenes type feel on this episode too.
It's almost too much to write down! It's the XL Extra Large Episode!

This week we dive in and share our approaches to some of the more subjective settings in our flybarless units. We talk about how we approach rates and agility settings. What is expo, and how do we each approach it? Just how much pitch should I run anwyay? How does my flying style affect these things? Are all helis the same or do we vary them by helicopter?
All this and more this week. We also learned that Scott Graham finally got his hands dirty? More on Devin's feet if you listen till the end, some news, Rob's efforts to renovate his kitchen, and even a bit about that which shall not be discussed.
As always, thanks for your continued support on locals, as well as all the kind notes we've received as we temporarily navigate things without Dan till he's ready to return.

This week Nick Maxwell joins the crew again to talk about his return to the podium. We catch up with Nick and hear about his time at Rotor Live with the XL Power team, his 1st place performance at the Dubai Masters competition, and then dig into the details of some of the new equipment he's been flying, and even get a bit of a math lesson and chat about servo refresh rates and performance.
There's also the usual news, catching up with the guys, and an important debate over who is the biggest "dirt magnet".
As always, thanks for listening, and thanks for all of your support. We appreciate all the great feedback we've been getting and continuing to keep Dan in your thoughts as he battles his way back.

This week the team gets a unique chance to talk directly with a manufacturer. Two of the three founders of Tron Helicopters Dario Neuenschwander and Joachim Etter join us to talk about building their brand, how they develop new helicopters, and what's coming from Tron Helicopters in the future.
There's also weekly news, Nick breaks his promise from last week, Devin has an announcement, and Scott inches toward getting his Tron nitro in the air.
Be sure and listen all the way to the end for a little behind the scenes action and shenanigans.
As always, thanks for listening, thanks for the messages, and thanks for your support!
