In this 338th installment, our last show of 2015 (recorded on December 16th), IFLYOS is back in the driver's seat. With him you'll hear Cathead, LMopar69, HatefulGravey, and NavionFlyer. There's some great discussion in this show on the FAA's and DOT's new "Drone Registration" so you'll certainly want to listen to this one!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS and HAPPY NEW YEAR from your friends at TheCrashCast! May God bless each and every one of you!!

This 337th show was recorded LIVE on December 9th, and is the third show WITHOUT your fearless leader. No worries though, as IFLYOS steps in to host a darned good show! Also present to round things out are LMopar69, HatefulGravey, NavionFlyer, Vintauri, and Rumbuilder.

This week we are without Navionflyer and Cathead, but we pick up HatefulGravey to help fill the void. We share a couple of videos, a great inaugural review by Tim King, and try to steer someone in the right direction of their first 3D Printer.

In this week's 'Thanksgiving Eve' show we talk a bit about the DOT Task Force Recommendations that came down on November 21st, as well as some great Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday deals! Oh, and if your Turkey is all prepped to fry up but you find yourself without propane for your fryer, we've got you covered on that front, too! LoL

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This week we actually have a guest on the show. Patrick Fox had an opportunity to attend the inaugural F3Expo and he met with us to share his impression of this new, and hopefully annual event. Oh, and if you've never had the opportunity to see 'Fainting Goats" in person, JUST DO IT! LoL

Oh, and there's also some discussion on what everyone is planning for personal transport for SEFF next year (and other big events that we may attend). Hit the links below for a lot of interesting stuff, as well as the typical unusual stuff we discuss sometimes. LoL

As much as your hosts LOVE CNC machining, this week we're here to share lots of information regarding cutting foam manually with a hot wire! We cover power supplies, bows (and other apparatus, too), wires - just about everything you need to know to add these techniques to YOUR building skills. Hang on! We've got LOTS of links this week!

One thing I've noticed about having Cathead on the show is that I am never at a loss for determining a funny and somewhat obscure show title. LoL 

In this one we bring a small amount of news of rule-making and new products, and King provides us with a recap of the FPV event that he attended last weekend. It certainly looks as though our friend SkyJet (along with the help of his fellow club members, most certainly) did a great job in setting up this first-time event!

In this week's episode we continue our trend of covering all kinds of weird stuff, but there's also some seriousness. I get a chance to give my impression of my first MultiGP event (which was AWESOME!) and we get into a discussion regarding this whole Drone Registration mess that surfaced this week. Pfft!
