This week's show (#209) was actually recorded by KarlK and Navionflyer while Tim and I were at SEFF. I really hated missing out on this one, as I have been a big fan of the Flitetest guys since meeting them about 2 years ago at SEFF 2011, but nonetheless, the guys did a great job covering all the bases with Chad K, Josh B., and David W.

For this 208th recording of our show, the entire team is all safe and sound back from SEFF in our respective homes. Join us for talk about this year's big SEFF event where we try to share with you all of our fond memories (while they're still fairly fresh on our minds LoL). Great friends and flying made for an awesome week! Please note that we will try really hard not to harp on all things SEFF every single week, but once you attend this event, you'll understand why its so hard to NOT talk about it all the time. :)

Be sure to check out next week's show that will go up on Sunday May 12th! KarlK and Navionflyer interviewed some special guests while Tim and I were away at SEFF. We've been wanting to get them on the show for ages!
While next week's show will not be streamed LIVE, we will still be getting together with our friends LIVE on talkshoe for an hour, or two, just to shoot the breeze. You can join us HERE on Sunday night, 8pm CDST.
We are sorry that things didn't work out to supply you guys with a show last week, but we were just too busy playing at Hodges Field and getting ready for SEFF 2013 to kick off.
Nonetheless, we were able to get everyone all together to do a quick recording last Saturday evening (just after the big bbq dinner, but before the Night Bowling got underway). I'll warn you, though, this 207th installment of our show has poor sound quality, but it was fun recording it and maybe it will give you a little "feel" for what it's like to attend this great gathering. Also, we picked a WINNER for our Building With Foam Book Contest! The luck recipient was actually at SEFF, but we were unable to locate him to give him his prize. No worries, though. As soon as he gets me his snail mail address, I'll get it in the mail.
Our plan will be to do a better job next week summarizing the things we saw at this year's SEFF and maybe even have a few links for you guys then.
In this 206th installment of our show, we answer some listener emails, especially one very good one from Greg regarding selecting a new radio for his RC adventures. Also, we gave away a couple more prizes, and this week's winners were Korey B. (he gets a PhlatBoyz Micro Surfer Dude kit) and Ian J. (and he gets a NIB Pheonix 480 airplane kit). We have more great prizes to give away, so be listening in to our next couple of shows! Information on how to win is in this episode, and the address to PayPal your entries is THESRT10(AT)gmail.com. Remember, you don't have to be listening to our LIVE show to win!
Also, please note that most of our team will be at SEFF 2013 during the next two weekends, so there will be no LIVE show, but we plan to resume the LIVE gig again on May 5th.

Deadline to enter is midnight, April 17, 2013. Good Luck!
In this 205th installment of our show, we get a great report from Navionflyer, who got the chance to attend the Toledo Weak Signals RC Expo this weekend. There's some new product news and discussion of some great RC craft that were there. Also, we gave away the eRC J-5 Cub that IFLYOS so generously offered up, and it was one by Todd Mezmarsic (Congrats, Todd!)

We're back again with another installment of our little show, and #204 is a great one! We get a great little update on some more improvements being made at our favorite flying site in Georgia from our friend Tripp. We get to hear all about that top-secret plane that Laine has been working on, and Laine and Tim give away two cool prizes to a couple of lucky entrants: Robert King won a Precision Aerobatics Thrust 40 motor, and Tom (Damage) Minnick will be the recipient of one of Laine's custom-built Li'l Cudas (Rx/battery ready!). There's still time to get in on next week's prize - an eRC J-5 Cub from Tim (paypal to THESRT10(AT)gmail.com). It's looking quite feasable that there will be a WFAIWTM in the Team Cobra camp at SEFF 2013!

We had a LOT of fun in this 203rd installment of our little show. Oh, and we have a special guest on this one - Mike Connor (aka BlenderBoy) from the RC Hangar Time podcast! We'll get a little insight on Mike's RC background as well as some great info on his latest passion, the Goblin 500 and 700 helicopters! Also, Laine pops on to host a special contest for our LIVE listeners where he gives away a brand spankin' new Castle Thunderbird 18 Speed Controller (won by our friend Vintauri). Be sure to listen in on this show if you didn't make the LIVE broadcast, as he and Tim will be giving away some more cool prizes in the next few weeks! Instructions are given on how to enter, and you need not be present to win (remember the email address - THESRT10(AT)gmail.com).
As for the weird name of this week's segment, I think you'll figure out what it means while listening. :)

The title of this 202nd show was thought up ingeniously by one of the members of our LIVE listening audience (Joel aka MetroGTi), and it really sums up our main topic this week! In this show, we'll try to provide you with some inspiration for some inexpensive ways to re-purpose some of that old Micro Gear that you may have laying around from a defunct or no longer interesting Ember, Vapor, or some other Micro plane you may have in the corner of your workshop. Oh, and we tried to give away one of Laine's "Lil Cuda" kits, but no one could guess this week's "Phrase That Pays", so we will try again on next week's LIVE SHOW. :)

Yep, that's pretty much all we did in our 201st show - just horsin' around. LoL We do, however, share some cool RC stuff we've found at some great prices, we give an update on the QSC Rogallo project, we share some listener emails, and we talk a bit more about the whoe"drone" situation going on in America, and how our hobby may be affected. We invite you to kick back and enjoy our ramblings for yet another week. Also, please consider stopping by our LIVE show sometime - some of our most interesting stuff has been popping up in the post-show!

Join us this week as Tim, Navionflyer, Karl, and I celebrate our 200 installment of the show! We share what all we've been up to this last week, as well as do a little PSA urging you guys to do your part to protect the sport that we all love. Also, we have Jim Reith from RACores on to share with us his visit last week to the WRAM show, as well as some other cool stuff he's involved with.
Jim so graciously shared one of his YAK 55 kits for us to give away during this LIVE show, and it was won by michaelkramer11! Thanks so much to Jim at RACores for this cool prize!
