Well, it seems that the allergy thing is still not letting up on ol' Crash, so for this 149th installment, we are trying something completely different. I have entrusted the show to Ron and Tim this week, and they have done an outstanding job (in spite of my attempts to distract them LoL)! They've got some new products to talk about, as well as some interesting FPV discussion, too! Also, the RCadvisor is back this week with the second part of his discussion on Pitch Stability, so be sure you don't miss this one.

Well, pretty much all we have to report this week is news from around the RC world. I got some brief flights this week on a favorite, but not much building on anything for me lately. You're still going to want to lend an ear to this 148th installment of our show since we have some fairly interesting things to share. Also, the RCadvisor is back this week with the first part of a two-part series explaning "Pitch Sensitivity".

In this 147th installment of our little show, we talk about some very cool videos, some friend's websites, some new technology, some SEFF news, and we even answer a listener's question about one of my build techniques. With all of that, we still managed to squeeze in another great "Ask The RCadviser" segment where Carlos explains some common builder mistakes.

This week, two more videos have been posted for our Mini Intern Build-Along series, so if you're building along with me, grab your kit and get started on that fuselage!

Well, how about that? Another year has just about escaped us! In this 145th installment, we review all of the fun we've had this year, as well as reveal some of our shortcomings (well, Crash, anyway. LoL). This week we have a neat surprise from the RCadvisor, and then we share our CHRISTmas Wishlists along with letters to Santa from Colin, Tony, and Gary. Oh, and one last thing: please check out Tim's plane pictures on our Facebook Fan Page and see if you can help Tim identify two of his recent aircraft acquisitions.

Hey Santa!

Gary B. has been a good boy all year and really wants a Super Skybolt, a T-133, a Blade mCPx, a UMX Beast with AS3X, and some uninterrupted shop time, if you please.

Colin B. has also been very good and would like a few things, too. He's been jonesing for some Rokenbok (Oh, I've got to get some of these!!) goodies, a Losi Micro HighRoller or Short Course Truck, a Mountain Models EZ Sport, a nice Pin Vise, a Prop Balancing Stand, a Lipo Sack, and maybe some help with some shop renovations.

Tony O. has only a simple wish this year, Santa. He just wants to have a look at your list of all the girls that made your Naughty List. ;)

Little Timmy would really like to have a new airplane kit that's kind of retro - something like the Cleveland PlayBoy Senior. Santa, I hafta to say, I'm not really sure Timmy has been that good this year. Something about too much jar, whatever that means.

Ron really needs something extra special for all the hard work he's done this year. He's really been wanting something like a TroyBuiltModels 30cc SBach with all of the trimmin's to go with it. Of course, he can always use some stocking stuffers like batteries and servos and such.

Crash has been the best this year! He'd like a 108" Mud Duck kit, a RadicalRC 66" Intern, a UMX Beast AS3X, and one of those PhlatBoyZ HBot Pro 3D Printers when they become available!

TheCrashCast will be going "dark" for the next two weeks, but we will be back the week of January 8th. Until then, we wish you all a Merry CHRISTmas, and a safe and prosperous New Year!

In this 144th installment of our show, we take you through a simple exercise to find an optimal power system for the Electrifly Cosmic Wind ARF. I am looking forward to getting this airplane in the air, as it looks like it may be quite fast! We also share some cool things found on the web, as well as clue you in on how you can WIN a Mini Intern Kit from our friends over at RadicalRC.

Remember, next week is our End-Of-Year, CHRISTmas show, so if you have a CHRISTmas Wishlist that you would like us to share on that show, email it to me at the address given during the lead-out at the end of each show.

You can enter for your chance to win the RadicalRC Mini Intern airplane kit (like what we are building in our soon-to-be-released 3rd Build-Along Series) by simply 'liking' our Facebook Fan Page and uploading a picture of you with your favorite RC Model(s)! One lucky entrant will be selected at random around the end of January 2012 and will win the kit offered up by our friends at RadicalRC. No purchase of any kind is necessary, and only one entry per person is allowed. Good luck!!

As 2011 starts winding down to a close, we finally get a chance to catch up with our buddies (Mark and Trish Carew) over at PhlatBoyZ HQ in this 143rd installment of our show. They've had quite a busy year this year and yet they just keep plugging away on new manufacturing solutions that we can all look forward to! (Remember, if you've been contemplating purchasing one of the fine pieces of equipment from the PhlatBoyz (Original PhlatPrinter, PhlatPrinter III, or the PhlatFormer), be sure to enter Coupon Code "CRASHCAST" to get $25 off your order! Please note that this offer ends when 2011 is over.)

Additionally, Ron talks a bit about the RadicalRC Flightbox that he's started putting together, I share some news about a very interesting FPV plane I found and the prize I won over at XtremeFlyer, and the RCadvisor is back with a segment on servo end points!

A special THANKS! goes out to our friend (wishing to be known simply as an "Anonymous Builder") that donated the last amount of money needed to make TheCrashCast completely "listener supported" in 2012.  A total of twenty four of your folks took care of us in short order. We will try our absolute best to make it worth your funds in the new year. God Bless you all!!

During this 142nd installment of the show, you'll learn all about Ironing Boards and how they may pertain to our hobby (kinda cool, really). Ron shares some flying he got in during the last week; Tim tells us what he's been able to accomplish with his Mud Duck, and I make excuses as to why I've not really accomplished much of anything. LoL Oh, and our RCadvisor pops in to answer questions about servo and receiver compatabilities.

As we prepare to embark on our 3rd Build-Along (Radical RC's Mini Intern Kit), I discuss some considerations and preparation for building a kit.

Remember, December 18th is the day we record our annual CHRISTmas show, so if you would like me to read your letter to Santa on the show, be sure to email me a copy!

Strange title, right? I think it's aptly named though, as I currently appear to be stricken with some sort of flu-like bug, and the entire recording of our 141st show saw me swinging from the chills to just absolutely burning up! LoL But hey, without a little sickness now and then, how can we possibly appreciate good health?  I apologize for being late getting this installment posted. :)

We've got some great news items this week, and we also answer some listener emails. The RCadvisor is back this week to discuss how you might see "porpoising" with that correctly balanced model.
