In this episode of Flyby Shine Presents: A Drone Cleaning Show, we take you behind the scenes of our recent collaboration with Lucid Bots and Prosoco at Alcorn State University. We break down how we became the first company to fly Lucid’s new power tether system on a commercial site—and what that meant for runtime, safety, and efficiency at a 94-foot press box.

We also unpack the unique challenges of cleaning elevated concrete—not brick—and why choosing the right coating partner made all the difference.

Later in the episode, we highlight the Dot Band, a game-changing tool for staying connected with potential clients without friction, and revisit our drone cleaning book series, which is helping professionals better understand this emerging field.

Whether you’re a facility manager, drone washer, or curious about new tech in property care, this one’s packed with insight—and less sales, more substance.

Most exterior maintenance injuries don’t happen during emergencies. They happen during routine work.

In this first episode of Flyby Shine Presents: A Drone Cleaning Show, Ric McCluskey explains why traditional exterior cleaning methods create unnecessary risk and how drone-powered cleaning changes the equation.

This episode introduces the core idea behind Flyby Shine: removing people, lifts, and liability from high-risk exterior work while still delivering consistent, professional results.

Ric breaks down where most risk actually comes from, why safety shortcuts become normalized, and how modern tools allow facilities to reduce exposure without sacrificing quality.

This episode sets the foundation for the series and explains what listeners can expect moving forward—real-world insights on safety, cost, and decision-making in modern facility care.
