Technologies For Developing Web Pages

This show is all about the subject of "Club Planes" like the one I used to stir things up in my club back in 1996. A project like this offers the perfect opportunity for your club's seasoned veterans to teach the newbs the ins and outs of building rc planes, as well as opening the door for tons of fun! I'll post pics of my QSC 40 as soon as I can get a spare moment, or two. I'm hoping to work up plans for it and share them with the world sometime this summer.

Also, I'm giving a shout out to the DLG enthusiasts out there regarding a plane I'm interested in getting to see if I like this kind of flying. Feel free to email me if you have any comments about this bird, whether good or bad.

We'll talk with you again next week!

In our 18th installment, you'll learn all about "Burned Pop Tarts", as well as some additional comments on covering your new creation. As well, Dorsal tells us how he's planning to use info from the AMA to help secure a flying site in his neck of the woods.

Happy Mother's Day, ladies! As a retired gent now serving time as a Stay At Home Dad to two daughters (ages 3 and 7), I totally understand and appreciate all that you do!

The title says it all - in this 17th installment, the PhlatBoyZ drop by to share what all they've been up to since the Toledo RC Expo and give us a little news about the soon-to-be-released PhlatPrinter MKII. Mark and Trish also tell us about a new CNC driver board that should be of interest to all CNC hobbyists, as well as folks that are into robotics! Can you imagine NOT having to be tied to a Parallel Port anymore, or even having to run a front-end CAM program like Mach3? That's what's in the works!

I am not only pleased with the content in this episode, but also the sound quality. This is my first time to run a true conference call in Skype and all of the homework I did payed off in sound quality and balance! I hope you enjoy the show!

Sorry, no Steals Of The Week were discovered, but watch my website, AllThingsCrash , as this is where I post great offers I find as soon as I find them!

In this installment, Dorsal and I discuss the scope (and hardships of setting it up!) of the new website supporting this podcast. As well, we talk about some new (actually OLD) computer equipment I purchased for the workshop. There's also some great Steals Of The Week in this show!

Remember, next week is our monthly PhlatBoyZ update, so be sure to catch the show!

New Website
Steals Of The Week

This week, Dorsal and I discuss all kinds of things related to covering your new model airplane with heat-shrink films.

I apologize for not including my Steal Of The Week in the show. We totally ran out of time! Nonetheless, I am including the link to the page I had intended to share. I saw this company's wares while at the Toledo RC Expo and was quite impressed with the quality of items they had to offer and you won't believe these sale prices!

Let's flash back to the past for a moment, shall we?

DATELINE: Toledo, OH, Saturday, Aril 4th

The plan was to go fly a bit at the RCGroups Open Flying session after the Toledo RC Show closed down for the evening. We would then retire back to Mark and Trish's hotel room and set up for a live version of TheCrashCast. We would use Trish's new laptop and wireless card along with the webcam that was broadcasting from the skies over the PhlatBoyz Booth. Well, the 'cast was slightly delayed due to someone (ahem!) forgetting the power cables for said laptop. LOL

Nonetheless, we pulled off a LIVE webcast. albeit a little behind schedule. This week's installment is a replay of the audio from that session where we discuss how the PhlatPrinter MKII was received during it's public debue. We also discuss some of the cool things we saw at the show, as well as neat people we met!

I've got tons of information from this show that I intend to share with all of you, but we'll have to cover it in future episodes. I'm totally BEAT from the 19 hour drive back! LOL I did, however, want to get this audio up for those that missed it. We had great fun recording it, and I hope you enjoy the listen.

--Crash

After many years of wanting to attend, I'm finally bound for the Toledo Show sponsored by the Toledo Weak Signals club! I'll be leaving Wednesday, April 1st, so my countdown offically begins. If you're planning to attend this show, look for the big ugly fellow lurking around the PhlatBoyZ booth and wearing a T-Shirt emblazed with TheCrashCast logos. LOL

Toledo Show

In this installment, Dorsal and I discuss some gap-filling techniques for when parts just don't quite line up as planned on that balsa model you're working on.

Also, the plan is (subject to bandwidth available) to broadcast next week's show live via UStream from my support site. Furthermore, you'll be able to ask me or the PhlatBoyz all about our Toledo experience via the chat interface that I've linked to the site! I'll also be recording our session "old school" so that the audio can be uploaded as next week's podcast. Join us and hear all about how the PhlatPrinter was received by the masses, as well as other interesting things we will have observed!

After my call for some 60-sized kit suggestions last week, I've received quite a few suggestions for kits that I should consider for my Thunder Tiger Pro .61 engine. Thanks for these great responses!

Bridi Airplanes
Uproar 60
Goldberg Super Chipmunk
Ultra Sport 60
Super Sportster 60
Sig Four Star 60

I snagged up a new compressor from Harbor Freight that works great! Here's the link:

Also, Dorsal brings up the great tool he's been using to remove the edges from FFF (tool conceived by RCGroup's 66tbird) and the interesting use of that little piece of scrap that's left over! Here's a link to the tool:

66tbird's Cool Tool

Until next week...

What? A little history lesson in this episode?!? Well, you get a little of everything with this show! :)

I'm on a quest to find the perfect sport-plane for a Thunder Tiger Pro .61 engine that I have, so I'm looking to you guys to suggest that perfect all-around, Sunday flier. Remember, I don't dig ARFS and I don't want to get into warbirds. I am looking for something that will serve as a Fun Fly plane, handle some winds, be floaty as well, and hold up to some stick-bangin'! Right now, the Perfection is the top consideration. Email me your suggestions!

Additionally, I talk about the Lanier Stinger 10 kit that I will start building soon. I have been unable to find anything about Lanier RC on the interwebs - it appears that they have gone out of business! If you know anything about this, drop me a line. I'd like to know what happened. I have enjoyed many of the Lanier planes over the years and it's a shame if they're gone forever!
