In this week's 189th installment, NavionFlyer and I get to visit with Mark and Trish Carew, makers of those famous PhlatPrinter machines that we all know and love. They spend some time cluing us in on all they've been up to lately, including the OpenRail linear motion system and the new OpenBuilds site where we will be able to build and share our best home-built machines that help us to enjoy our RC hobby to it's fullest!

Please note that the last two links will require you to create an account and sign in to see them, but hey! - it's free and you can nose around and see all the other cool stuff on the site, too!

REMINDER - Next week will be our last show of the year, so if you want to send us your "Dear Santa" letter, we'd really enjoy sharing it on the show when we share what all WE want.

Isn't it funny how we start off by saying we really don't have much to go over for the week, but yet we still are about to occupy 90 minutes worth of your time? Well, that's the case with this 188th installment of our show, LoL Join us for some more all-over-the-board discussion (as seems to be our norm these days).

A special THANK YOU! goes out to our supportive listener base this week, as you guys have come to our aid with your donations by helping pay for our web fees for 2013!!

Hey, it's that time of year where we will accept your "Dear Santa" Letters. This is a perfect time for you to hint at what you REALLY want for CHRISTmas from that significant other. Drop me a line and I'll share your wishes on an upcoming show!!

Yes, true to ourselves, we get a little off-topic again in this 186th installment of our show. Nonetheless, we get back on topic after a brief hiatus. :) This week it's me, Tim, and Navionflyer along with a specials guest - Chris Klick of RiteWing fame! Chris tells us wht all he's been up to, including the new injection-moulded Zephyrs and FPV. Also, RiteWingRC is our "Spotlight Vendor" this week, qualifying with great products, great customer support, and it's an American-based company, to boot!

Sorry, gang, but I'm just too tired to finish this tonight (that's what SHE said! LoL). I wanted to get the show up for you guys that listen on your Monday morning commutes. I'll put in the show notes first thing tomorrow morning.

EDIT

Well, we got a little goofy last night, hence the name of the show. Yep, we were being quite sophomoric. LoL Anyhow, join us in this 184th installment of our show where the whole gang is present and we do our usual thing.

There's not been a whole lot going on in the workshop lately, but I did get a chance to fly a great little plane that Hance sent (along with another interesting item LoL) and it was quite the handful! Join us for some news on some new offerings as well as some of your letters and links.

In this, our 182nd installment, the whole crew is in the workshop discussing this and that in the RC world. We talk about some new products and discuss a couple of letters received, but the main topic this week is my synopsis of MY experiences of HHAEFI 2012.  If you ever get a chance to attend this event at Hodges Field every October, you've just GOT to attend! In summation, it's like a "kinder, gentler SEFF". LoL

This was one of the greatest b-day experiences ever and you guys all ROCK!!

Well, not a very interesting title this week, but it get's it done. LoL We've got the full gang together this week and we discuss some updates, read a few listener emails, Karl shares some Heli tips, and more of our usual nonsense. :) Hey - it looks like I am going to HHAEFI!! I hope to see you there!!
