August 31, 2024 Ep 98 - Floating with Joy
Welcome Back! As Hurricane Debbie approaches, NC is on the cusp of 3 solid days of rain. It got me thinking about Float Flying around with RC water Fowl. So, naturally I wanted to talk to our past guest Richard Joy - my English friend living in California (FF 2023). Today we talk about the things he has recently learned about float flying, or flying off water. He will share his earned top 5 things you want to know before float flying. In the History segment this episode we also talk about the first aquatic rc aircraft. And of course we start with talking about our recent antics in the hobby. So Buckle in, let’s take off.
