RC Heli Nation V 2.0

The guys at RCHN are the worst when it come to learning from their own mistakes. Join Dan, Nick, Justin and Jessie this week, as they decide to come clean on some things the have done, and still to this day do, that might be considered a bonehead move. We take a little time and poke some fun at each others silly mistakes as we have made our way through this great hobby we all enjoy so much. Also we just grab a listener from our chat room and bring them on the show. So tune in to find out what our good friend Mark is up to

The last in a series of three discussions about going from the basics to advanced and things to consider along the way. Let us start off by apologizing to Pinion. We had him on this week’s episodes but technical difficulties kept us from using his audio, sorry pinion. This week we focus on sims, did you ever wonder how to tune your Heli in a sim? Or maybe how do you get the most out of your sim time. This episode will be right up your alley. We also spend a little time talking about transferring those hot sim skills to the field. We end this episode giving you tip about focusing your training and using aids to help you progress steadily. Newtown CT, our thoughts are with you><
