Entertaining and Informative

I listen to every episode and appreciate the candor and chemistry. RC is one of my many hobbies, and this podcast fits right into how I approach and execute my airplane fun. Very happy about how you guys have made friends with other podcasters and have integrated them into your format as guests. Also, great idea to have regular guests talk about their total number…great variety! Thank you

Great podcast 👍

This is a great Rc plane podcast. I’m a aerobatic rc pilot, so this podcast is great to listen to.

Great podcast

New to the hobby and love learning from them, I am super jelous of them! 😀 Super nice people
panzer0920

Very beginner oriented

I like listening to these guys, but man they dumb things down to an almost ridiculous level. 20 min on describing servo arms as “plus signs” or circles? I think if someone is listening to an RC airplane podcast they already know what a servo is. Try to make the show for a bit more advanced audience and I think more people might listen. I never recommend the show to anyone for this reason

One of my favorites

Listen to Ron and Tom at work. Getting back into RC and they provide lots of good info to get me up to speed on latest changes!

Awesome podcast

Keep up the good work
Lord Peppercini

Good start, looking forward to more

Well, finally a pod cast where the hosts BUILD planes with engines. I’m recently back in the hobby. Old school I am, I like to build kits and power them with engines. I have just listened to the first episode and enjoyed learning the background of the hosts and it sounds like I will have a lot in common with the podcasters here. I need to catch up to the current episode, looking forward to doing so. I recommend this podcast if you like to build as well as fly.
