Consendo Maiden 



This week Jay takes us through his Birthday Present maiden of the UMX Consendo.  The initial build took just a few min to attach wires and batteries and program the radio.  The inital flight was easy and fun and even with the wind was a solid flyer.  Knowing that this plane will be a go to for any day at the field Jay orders more 3S batteries. AK Mike swings in to town to see Jay and they take the consendo out to the field along with AK Mikes UMX Pitts.  Wanting to fly off pavement they both decide to fly at a diffrent location and picked a great spot with a hard surface, and lots of trees.  Tune in for the story and how it all turns out in this episode.  Make sure you like, give us a thumbs up and Subscribe and share so we can grow our you tube channel.  Thanks so much for joining us and we will see you again in two weeks.

Gunsmoke 2024



This week we recount Shannons trip to Gunsmoke 2024.  Shannon takes us through getting his airplane ready and what it took to compete in this years event.  The event was hosted by Arizona Model Aviators in Mesa, AZ and had about 13 pilots competing  Lots of fun to be had and the T-28 was a winner.  Michael finished the motion RC OV-10 that he received as a gift and is ready for the maiden.  Jay asked about syncing the motors on a multi engine airplane and the OV-10 did sync up correctly.  Michael painted the rocket tips on the model to get slightly more scale  They turned out great.   Make sure you subscribe to our You Tube channel and give us a like and that helps us out as well..Thanks for your support!

Warbirds and Classics AZ  



This week we join AZ Mike and Shannon at the warbirds and classics 2024 held here in Phoenix, AZ.  We are joined by special guest Scott Berryman from Boulder, CO.  This is Scotts first warbirds and classics event  and we discuss our favorite planes and the flying we were able to do and some of the amazing things we saw during the event.  During our show some event goers decided to ground test a Panther turbine in the background and tried to overpower our show! But we pushed through it.  We are sorry for the turbine noise during our recording.  But we had loads of fun and enjoyed having Scott on the show.  Thanks to all who attended and we look forward to your comments and suggestions.  Thanks for joining us and we look forward to your continued support.
