We are all present in the workshop for this 139th installment of the show, and our title this week is related to last week's Halloween shenanigans. Yes, I know - I'm not a very nice person. LoL

In this show you'll get some interesting news, some of the greatest deals on the 'net, and the RCadvisor is back this week to discuss "Swing-Wing" aircraft designs.

Boy, this 138th installment is just full of all kinds of advice!

Heck, we even share some tips for dealing with those "over-age" Trick-or-Treaters tomorrow night! :)

In an effort to help our friends just starting out in the great sport of RC Aviation, we are getting back to the basics with this 136th installment of our show.  Our "Intro to RC Flight" series will most likely span a few shows, with this first show covering some of the things you'll want to think about before even making that first purchase. As seasoned pilots, it is easy to overlook some of the basic answers you guys may be looking for, so please feel free to drop us an email if there is anything in particular that you are needing.

Also in this show is another "Ask The RCadvisor" segment, as well as Tim telling us about his new toy! Hmmm... Bracket races at SEFF 2012? We'll just have to see! :)

Are you a redneck? If you're not sure, you will be after you listen to this 135th show! Tim's back with us this week to share his adventures at the First Annual "E-Nall", as well as the hardships that fell upon him afterward. We've got a little news, some upcoming events, and another great RCadvisor segment this week. We hope you enjoy our updates from this less-than-productive week.

Okay, so there's no clever show title this week. I just couldn't think of anything that could possibly sum up this show since we talked about all kinds of stuff. Join us as we answered some emails, cover a few things in the news, and listen to me whine a bit more about the weather. There is some interesting info, however, because the RCadvisor pops in and tells us a bit about how motor "cogging" may or may not affect a motor's performance.

In this 131st installment of our show, Tim is back with a thorough report of the RCAE event that he attended last week. This is certainly an event that I am going to have to include in my schedule next year! In addition to our normal banter we include some news, a great tip on making those pesky Multi-Rotor power distribution harnesses, a cannon for retrieving airplanes from trees, and the RCadvisor is back again with another segment.

It's me and Ron in the workshop this week, and we've got some great news! It seems that our buddies over at PhlatBoyZ are bringing the Original PhlatPrinter out of retirement. If you've ever wanted to use CNC to help you cut out your foam planes in short order, this machine is what you want. You see, this economical machine is what started all the CNC rage in the RC Industry!

We also discuss a neat video, some cool kits you can build and fly on the cheap, and we even get another visit from the RCadvisor!
