In this week's show we get a little deeper into FPV and talk about some of the cool Ground Stations we've seen - some are really stinking expensive, while others show that you can get the job done WITHOUT breaking the bank (these are MY favorite systems). Also, we get a chance to visit with Jake 'FleshPilot' Wells for the first time on the show. You may remember our referencing Jake in some previous shows, as he's the guy that's been putting out some of those awesome videos we've enjoyed from Washington state.

In this 360th installment you'll find me sharing my personal experience with several versions of FPV goggles that are on the market these days. They are not all created equal and range in prices from really inexpensive all the way to DANG! - That's a LOT!

In this 359th installment, I'll do a little housekeeping in sharing some links that show you how to build your own Spektrum module instead of buying a DM9 module. Also, I answer a listener's email in regards to the kind of adhesives that can be used when building a typical balsa aircraft, and where each of those adhesive is best used.

A Radio Dilemma

In this installment, I give a brief review of my new 3D Printer, as the title of this show shows.  I've been impressed with this budget-minded, turn-key machine, but there were a few hurdles I had to go through to figure everything out. If you've been thinking of getting into 3D Printing, you may want to listen to this one! LINKS: DaVinci PRO 1.0 At Amazon XYZPrinting Thingiverse  

DaVinci PRO 1.0

Hopefully this installment will be of surprise to you guys! I've really missed doing my show, but with the health issues I've endured, it's just been too hard to do a live show in a specific time slot each week, hence the 8 month hiatus (with the exception of occasionally being on the AngleOfAttack podcast when my health has allowed). My desire to help folks enjoy this great hobby hasn't waned a bit, so I've decided to try something a little different. My plan is to record short shows (approximately 30 minutes) that are topic-based. No LIVE shows this go around, though. I may, however, try to do something LIVE later if it appears to not be too stressful. Heck, I may even convert the show to a VLOG on YouTube one day. LoL In this episode, I answer a single listener's questions regarding setting up for a first time balsa build. If you are looking for advice on a build, project, or whatever, please feel free to shoot me an email and maybe yours will be the topic of a show! Oh, and remember, I sometimes pop in to the AngleOfAttack podcast live on Wednesday nights at 7pm Eastern!
