This week we have a unique opportunity to sit down with the OMPHOBBY's brand lead helicopter designer Jonas Wackershauser.  We'll hear about Jonas's early beginnings in the hobby and how he turned his field of study into a career in the RC helicopter hobby.  We'll also hear details on OMPHOBBY's newest addition to their micro helicopter fleet, as well as dig into the many challenges facing helicopter and blade designers.  All this plus the news and more.

Our 40th episode is a special one guest hosted by Bert Kammerer of BK Hobbies.  We had a blast recording this one, and we think you'll enjoy hearing about what we've been up to, a bit more on tariffs from the perspective of a retailer, all the news (and there's a lot this episode) and then we'll dig into the truths and myths about servos.  Are 12 volt servos worth it?  Should we be running our servos at 760?  What refresh rate is optimal?  What's marketing hype and what's a worthwhile upgrade?

This week the crew digs into all of the news to come out of the largest tradeshow in the RC helicopter hobby:  Rotor Live.   With a mix of exclusive interviews from the tradeshow floor the crew walks you through all of the new models and electronics to be released at Rotor Live.  Scorpion and Midland Helicopter team pilot Rob Bingham is also back this year to bring us interviews from the tradeshow floor again.  You won't find coverage of Rotor Live this in depth anywhere else, so sit back, grab a drink, and enjoy all of the updates from the major brands in the hobby.

Putting an episode like this together isn't easy...  so we want to offer a special thanks to Rob Bingham, as well as to Simone Zunterer's youtube channel as well as RC Helicopter Richard's for helping to bring some of the event to life and help us feel like we were there.  Checkout their youtube channels here;

This week we capitalize on a unique opportunity...   the chance to review a model with someone from the development team for that model on the show!  Chris Kim from the OMP Hobby team joins us as we review the new OMP Hobby M2 Mk 2 Evo micro helicopter.  We all know that every new micro helicopter to come to market claims it's the best in it's class and the "next evolution" but how does the OMP shape up?  What does it come with?  Who is it aimed at?  We'll answer all this and hear what OMP might be working on in the future on this episode.  Plus all the news and our usual updates from the crew.

This week we sat down with the crew from the SXC discord community:  Archie Harris, Herman Quinones, and Sean Hall.  Together the three of them make up the team from the SXC discord community which is a discussion group centered around helping others get started with Rotorflight.  SXC also creates and share "presets" for both transmitter files and model files to help folks gets up and running with Rotorflight much faster than they would be able to on their own. 

We also cover the usual news and our winter updates as we get ready for the spring season, and some of us brave the cold to knock some flights out.
