Quads Across America? Well, maybe not, but it doesn't hurt to try, right? LoL Join us in this 179th installment of our show where we get the opportunity to visit with one of the greatest promoters of our hobby in MY lifetime - Mr. Frank "Murocflyer" Geisler! We get a little background on Frank by exploring how it all started for him and discussing his epic Wings Across America project before getting into his latest endeavor of promoting BUILDING your own planes with his new "Model Airplane Building Clinic" over at RCG. This is a show you won't want to miss!

Okay, okay, that is a direct quote from our special guest this week. LoL Please take no offense, as ol' Crash actually uses expo these days to smooth out some of the shakes. Join us this week for our 178th installment of our little show where we share a scant bit of news, read some great letters sent in from our listeners, and visit with a long-time listener and friend of the show, Mr. Hance Andreason!

We had way too much fun recording this one, and I kinda wished I had left the recorder ON for the post-show discussion. That prolly would have got us all into some trouble, though. :)

After a nice break for Labor Day weekend with our families, we're back with our 177th installment. In this show we go over the last of the tips you guys have sent in for the SlowBipe RC Hints And Tips Giveaway.

It's Crash, NavionFlyer, and Karl for this 176th show, and this one is almost all about your entries for the SlowBipe RC Hints and Tips contest. Wow! You guys are sending in some great stuff!! We also dip into the old mailbag and do our best to find a solution to a listener's dilemma - he is needing something simple to record his FPV video at his ground station from his Sony 600TVL camera, so if you guys can offer something inexpensive that's better than what we came up with, send me a link and I'll ge t it to him!

While I think the term "Whatnot" was used only once in this 175th show, we had some lengthy dicussion on it's use by certain individuals during our pre-show discussion, so it seemed a fun name for this installment. As has been usual as of late, we talk up a few things we've found on the web, and then we continue on discussing your RC Hints and Tips for our GiveAway later this month.

Yes, in this 173rd installment, I am flying solo - no one is with me in the workshop this week. That's okay, though. We still have plenty of info for you, and the show this week is not NEARLY as long as last week's. LoL

There are a few news items this week, but mainly it's all about your RC Tips that you've submitted for the contest this month.

Yes, we really push our file limitations with our hoster on this one. I apologize up fron if our 172nd show eats up a lot of space on your listening device - we just had so much to share! We've got lots of great listener tips this week, as well as some great news around the interwebs, including another cool contest from our favorite MultiRotor forums. Also, we have the RCadvisor back with us ending this week's podcast with an explanation of How Airplanes Fly.

We break it in right with some news, some letters, and our main topic this week is about some interesting videos Tim found from a guy that's building some need planes out of Dollar Tree Foam (you know, the 20" x 30" stuff you get for only a buck?).
