RC Heli Nation v3

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.

Special thanks to all of you supporting the podcast on locals at https://rchelinationv3.locals.com/ . We greatly appreciate you all helping us keep the lights on and deliver new content weekly.

Dan is still out this week, but still on the path to recovery... we promise he'll be back soon! Till then thanks for listening.

Join Nick, Scott, Rob & Devin this week as they interview guest Sean Hall from Helidirect. We hear a little about Sean's background and return to the hobby, and how he became the man behind various brand's marketing efforts. We find out why the Helidirect team is so large, how to get into content creation, and get to hear some of Sean's ideas to help grow the hobby. Sean's enthusiasm is infectious... and we think you'll all enjoy this episode.

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.

As always, thanks for listening... find us on facebook, and thanks for your support on locals! Look for the next installment in our Nitro series to come soon. Send your questions you'd like the crew to answer to Nick and he'll get them added to the list.

Rob, Scott & Devin get together this week for a short episode on how to get ready for a funfly. We catch up with the gang, hear a little bit about Devin's trip to the RCHO Chill Out funfly, and learn a little about what it takes to get ready to take on your first funfly. Dan is still super thankful for all the messages and is doing his best to come back as soon as he can. He tried to rally for a quick pop in on this one, but just couldn't quite do it yet. He'll be back soon!

As always, all of us at RCHN are very much appreciative of those of you supporting us on locals, and for all of our listeners! Find us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/RCHNV3, and say hello, or leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Augusto Arevalo (Auggie) joins Devin, Scott, and Nick to chat about the upcoming IRCHA elections for the open seat on the board. We learn just how long Auggie has been in the hobby, what his hopes for IRCHA are should he be elected to the board, and get a quick touchbase about what he's been up to over at Xguard RC.

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.
