Lior Zahavi, a lifelong modeler from Israel, has garnered a dedicated following owing to his pilot skills, his technical knowledge and experience and a genuine passion for assisting others in the RC community. Renowned within the turbine jet scene, Lior not only pilots these advanced machines but also pioneers the development of sensors and software for FrSky and Futaba under the Zavionix brand.

In this conversation we cover many different topics, from his switch from Futaba to FrSky, to common mistakes people make when setting up jets plus a deep dive on fuel systems.
