Sun, 24 January 2010 This week you get to listen to all three of us knuckleheads (me, Dorsal, and IFLYOS) ramble on about various things. We answer a listener's email about how we go about selecting a power system for a new project, and we clue you in on a special "Ask The RCAdvisor" segment that we hope to introduce next week! Are you tired of the same old designs composed of balsa, foam, balsa and foam, foam and balsa, more foam, balsa, etc? LOL Well, how about just abandoning those old mediums? GO FLY A KITE!

Sun, 17 January 2010 This week we're honored to have an old friend back in the workshop with us - Mr. Carlos Reyes from RCAdvisor.com. Carlos spent the Fall of 2009 working on a very interesting project. You'll want to give this show a listen to get a glimpse into what kinds of considerations are made when designing aircraft for a specific purpose like UAV! Also, Carlos teases us a bit regarding some upcoming projects in his backlog. Do I smell another book? Hmmm...

Sun, 10 January 2010 Hey gang, we're back! After a peaceful 2 week break (actually, I've been ill and trying to get my voice back for the last 2 weeks! LOL), we get a chance to visit with the PhlatBoyZ to find out what all they've been up to as well as see what their plans are for this new year. I added an interesting goody in the Steals Of The Week section over at AllThingsCrash, as well as an article on 4 Axis Hot-Wire CNC Machines that so many of our listeners have been asking about, so pop over and check this stuff out!

Sat, 2 January 2010 I am so sorry, folks, but yours truly here is still down with this terrible upper respiratory infection which renders me somewhat unable to put out this week's installment of TheCrashCast. The good news is that I'm starting to get my voice back. The bad news is that I can't talk for 30 seconds without breaking out into an awful coughing fit. Thanks for your understanding! We'll be back next week with this year's first installment. You'll want to tune in because we're slated to have the PhlatBoyZ back on to talk about their 2010 goals and I'm certain we'll hear all about that new commercial CNC machine they've just installed at PhlatBoyZ HQ!

Sun, 13 December 2009 Review talk? Yep! In this installment we discuss Kevin Martin's (kmart) review of the LazerToyz' Lazer II over at RCGroups, my "light" review of RealFlight's G5 upgrade, and the build I have in process right now on the XtremeFoamies Sentinel (for an upcoming review). Also, Dorsal is finished with his contract work in Southern California and we get to welcome him back to the show. Additionally, IFLYOS shares the details from his most recent indoor flying session at a new locale. Tim has some really great info for first-time indoor flyers! Also, check out the info on, quite possibly, the world's best model builder in the link below! Notable Links: Lazer II Review XtremeFoamies Sentinel Multiplex Fox FPV?? Young C.

Sun, 6 December 2009 We are pleased to have Andy Erwin (Draftman) of MidCalSPADs as our guest this week. Andy used SPAD aircraft to reacquaint himself with the RC hobby after some time away, and even used these designs to teach his two sons the ropes of the flying game. Now Andy brings his work to you in the form of SPAD Flat- and ARF-kits for some of the most popular designs. Check out his site at the link below!

Sun, 29 November 2009 This week's show is a special one, in that we get to meet an incredible young lady active on the RC scene. Kimberly Panos (Pylon Princess) tells us all about the E-200 class of pylon racing that she and her husband, Mark, helped to organize with the Utah Valley Aeromodelers. As if RC Pylon Racing wasn't already enough to impress everyone in this male-dominated hobby, Kim is also an RC Heli pilot as well as a full scale pilot! If your club is looking to come together in the spirit of competition with some Pylon racing, give this show a listen - there's lots of great info!
