Wayne is back in the studio after being gone for awhile and lets us know about the RC runway at his new house. Andre fills us in on his devastating crash of the HMB quad and how it took a few days to recover it. Chris shares his shenanigans with Phantom 3 and his first time getting motion sickness flying FPV. Thanks for listening.

As always, entertaining. Glad things worked out for you with your HMB, Andre (minus the Mobius).

That CL84 from Hobbyking does look tempting. While the P-40 doesn't really do it for me (sorry, guys!), I do tend to like the "different" stuff, and this would definitely qualify. For the record, Andre, Hobbyking didn't cheat as long as the tail motor only controls pitch, because that's what it did on the real thing. Now if they use torque for yaw, then I suppose that would be cheating, since the real thing used the flaps and ailerons for yaw when in a hover (which is crazy, by the way).

Those strings in the pictures from the coffee drop-off and pickup looked like laser beams, especially the pickup photo, where they are pulled tight. Was wondering what you had put on your quad that had such powerful laser beans that they were that visible in the daylight! ;) Great podcast as usual, guys, thanks for your efforts to remain consistent and reliable on getting the podcasts out, we who listen salute you! :)

Thats funny you mention that. My wife said the same thing and asked why i was using pink when in reality it was the best thing i could find at the time in the garage but the cool thing like you said it really showed up on camera.

Great show guys! BTW, Live streaming on you tube does have a live chat box, so it would still allow for viewer interaction with you guys.
