Simply put, one of us is leaving the show.  You’ll have to tune in to find out who.  What does this mean for the podcast?  Good things we think, hang in there while we figure out a new course for the show and thanks for your support!

While we don't have Dan this week, the rest of the gang is all here, including Devin back from his long work project deep in the land of corn.  This week we focus on the largest funfly in the U.S.:  IRCHA and hear all about it from Devin and Rob McLellan's perspective, how was it, pilot count, competitions, vendors...   all the updates. We also had a chance to sit down with US Team Assistant Manager and NATs competitor Brian Byrdsong to catch up on the events leading into IRCHA, and get a behind the scenes view of the US World's Team. All that and more in this week's episode, plus the usual news and shenanigans.

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing longtime scale modeller and retired fullscale helicopter pilot Mr Jon Ellis.  We get to learn a little bit about what it takes to get into scale helicopters and what it's like to fly a huge quarter scale model helicopter. There's also the usual news and shenanigans, but we're saving the IRCHA wrap up for next week with some special guests.  We hope you'll enjoy getting a chance to hear from one of America's premiere scale modellers. As always, you can find us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/RCHNV3 and do us a favor and leave us a review on itunes, podbean, or your favorite podcatcher and help more folks find us.

This week most of the crew are back!  Devin is still somewhere in the middle of the country turning tricks for fivers…  We hope to see him back soon.  This week we are talking about selling and buying used helis.  Some do’s and don’ts of the buying and selling process.

This week the crew of Nick, Rob McClellan, Rob Boyd, and Scott catchup on all things heli.  Rob flies so much we're all jealous, Scott's thinking scale, Nick is struggling with Nitro, and Rob continues his steady streak.  So business as usual! The team delivers the news including a new heli release, and then after putting it off for a few weeks we finally get around to having a basic discussion about how to stay safe in the hobby for beginners.  The basics of throttle cuts and hold, battery safety, flying safety, and nitro safety.  A well rounded safety discussion for those new to the hobby. As always thanks for all the support as we approach a full year on the air!

Rob Mctune joins us this week… I know, I know… Again!  He is hard to get rid of!  Seriously though we are happy to have Rob join us while Devin is away working this summer.  Today we hear all about the Ohio Heli Throwdown!  From the sounds of it, those of us who didn’t make it out to Ohio really missed a good one!  So plan to put it on your calendar next year! 

A bit of an unusual crew this week...    With Dan, Scott, and Devin all out for various reasons Rob and Nick are joined by a well known fixture in U.S. hobby circles Rob McClellan, AKA Devin's dad, AKA affectionately known as "McTune" for his deep nitro knowledge and skills.  The trio catch up, Nick shares his why you should never swap an FBL out at 6am before you've had a full cup of coffee story, and McTune gets paid to blow stuff up.  There's some news and then we spend the rest of the episode hearing about McTunes long history in the hobby, wiring up helicopters to car batteries and other crazy adventures along the way in the early days of the hobby.  Rob McLellan is a rarity in that he's never taken a break from the hobby and has been in it for over 30 years.  You'll hear us mention talk of a brief safety overview for the beginners...  but we had so much fun chatting we'll push that to another episode. As always, thanks for listening, and thanks for all the emails.  We appreciate your support!  If you haven't already head on over to facebook and like our page at https://www.facebook.com/RCHNV3.

This week, we focus on hearing about Scott and Devin's experiences at the recent Spring Fling funfly in Virginia.  Devin crashes the flash (again), Scott sets the all time crash record for the same battery pack, plays peek-a-boo with the clouds, and they both spend a rained out Friday learning what deluge means. Nick's out of town this week but joins us for the news, and Dan drops by the funfly to say hi to the boys.  All this and more this week...     As always, thanks for listening!  Find us on facebook and follow us for updates.

This week the gang is hard at work to make sure you have something to listen to on the way to the Spring Fling fun fly in Virginia.  We're releasing early to help those of you out with long drives.  We don't always record an extra large episode, but when we do, it's a doosey!  Lots of surprises along the way, some special guests (be sure and listen to the end!) and the usual news and shenanigans. There's still plenty of seriousness in this episode though, the gang chats through all the most popular current offerings in the 550-700 size heli market.  Hear what we think of the helis, and the brands behind them, and get a few heli-history lessons along the way. We've also got our first remote news segment, including a very special guest reporter that you won't want to miss. We also let you take a peek behind the curtain on this one.  We left in a lot of things we might normally take out...   So you get a behind the scenes type feel on this episode too. It's almost too much to write down!  It's the XL Extra Large Episode!

This week  we dive in and share our approaches to some of the more subjective settings in our flybarless units.  We talk about how we approach rates and agility settings.  What is expo, and how do we each approach it?  Just how much pitch should I run anwyay?  How does my flying style affect these things?  Are all helis the same or do we vary them by helicopter? All this and more this week.  We also learned that Scott Graham finally got his hands dirty?  More on Devin's feet if you listen till the end, some news, Rob's efforts to renovate his kitchen, and even a bit about that which shall not be discussed. As always, thanks for your continued support on locals, as well as all the kind notes we've received as we temporarily navigate things without Dan till he's ready to return.

This week Nick Maxwell joins the crew again to talk about his return to the podium.  We catch up with Nick and hear about his time at Rotor Live with the XL Power team, his 1st place performance at the Dubai Masters competition, and then dig into the details of some of the new equipment he's been flying, and even get a bit of a math lesson and chat about servo refresh rates and performance. There's also the usual news, catching up with the guys, and an important debate over who is the biggest "dirt magnet".   As always, thanks for listening, and thanks for all of your support.  We appreciate all the great feedback we've been getting and continuing to keep Dan in your thoughts as he battles his way back.

This week the team gets a unique chance to talk directly with a manufacturer.  Two of the three founders of Tron Helicopters Dario Neuenschwander and Joachim Etter join us to talk about building their brand, how they develop new helicopters, and what's coming from Tron Helicopters in the future.   There's also weekly news, Nick breaks his promise from last week, Devin has an announcement, and Scott inches toward getting his Tron nitro in the air. Be sure and listen all the way to the end for a little behind the scenes action and shenanigans.   As always, thanks for listening, thanks for the messages, and thanks for your support!

In the second installment of our Nitro series...  the gang discusses the particulars of building a nitro helicopter.  What extra steps do you need to take?  Where do you use loctite?  How do you attach the pipe?  What do you connect the fuel tubing to, and what's a clunk anyway?  All this and more is answered in this week's episode meant to help get more folks into nitro powered helicopters. There's also the usual updates, news, and an update on Dan's escape to the Carribean.  We recognize that there is more than one way to tackle a nitro build, and that folks will have their own methods too.  Instead of telling us we're wrong, join the conversation on our facebook page and share your nitro tips and tricks at https://www.facebook.com/RCHNV3. As always...   thanks to all of our listeners for their tremendous support.  An extra special thanks to those of you who have chosen to help support the podcast over at locals.com at https://rchelinationv3.locals.com/.  

In this episode Nick, Devin, and Rob get to chat with a well missed surprise guest, and then delve into the importance of social media to the hobby.  How to leverage social media to stay current in the hobby, while avoiding all the noise and negativity that can come with it.  Do you have to be on Facebook to stay current in the hobby?  Are forums dead?  These questions and more get explored by the gang...

Still waiting on that second Nitro Episode?  It's coming SOON, REAL SOON!

While we planned on recording the second episode in our nitro series, the hobby had other ideas.  So much news was announced this past week at the Rotor Live event in Germany and elsewhere in the hobby that it took us a couple hours to get through it all!  So this week is all about the news, and we'll push the nitro series to another time.  Checkout our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/RCHNV3 for a photo of miniature aircraft's new prototype rotor head to help make sense of the world's worst job we've ever done of describing something.

On top of that, we catch up with the crew, get a brief update on Dan, and the usual news including a segment on Scott's thoughts on if upgrading to the Neo Evo FBL is worth it.

There's also an update on Dan, some news, and the usual fowl humour.  There's a few audio glitches in Nick's mic in the interview...   we apologize for those, but they aren't too bad.  Sometimes the hotel internet just doesn't want to cooperate.  

The gang's all here this week...   well...  except for Dan..  his heart just wasn't in it this week.  (Pardon the Pun!) Truthfully Dan has some serious surgery this week so we're all keeping him in our thoughts, and doing what we know he wants us to and cranking out another one.  Due to excessive peer pressure and bullying, Nick buys his first nitro, and has a LOT of questions.  Just what do you buy to make a heli do the smokey and spinny things?  The guys explore all of the things you'll have to acquire to get your first nitro helicopter in the air.  There's also news, shenanigans, and Scott's bicep workout routine involving excessively large lipo batteries.  If you've been thinking about a nitro, this one's for you.  Look for more episodes on this topic in the near future.

James Kaddis drops by and spends an episode with the whole crew.  We catch up, share some news, and then take a turn to the more serious as we discuss overcoming serious challenges, and what really is behind our involvement in the hobby.  Do we fly for the enjoyment of it?  Or are we escaping from something?  The gang delves into this and more with our guest, longtime heli pilot and friend of the podcast, James Kaddis.
