The iTunes store itself only searches every few hours for new podcast episodes so there is a delay there.

The proper pronunciation of Gyro (we are talking about the greek lamb and beef sandwich, right?) is
yē-ˌrō
Here's an audio link for the pronunciation http://www.merriam-webster.com/audio.php?file=gyro0002&word=gyro&text=%5C%CB%88y%C4%93-%CB%8Cr%C5%8D%2C%20%CB%88zhir-%C5%8D%5C
Once again, my apologies.

Also Josh, like Sirglider I'm wondering if are you going to do any fixed wing APM stuff?

A production episode would be fun, I'm in for that!
Also, regarding an r/c flight history episode, how about Dave Herbert (NightFlyyer). He's very active on YouTube. He's been in r/c since back before proportional radios, and invented the electric tail rotor motor for rc helicopters. He's a legend!

The file has been updated and the ending been cut out.
Sorry again.

I am not sure if it is only my computer but I can't skip forward on the audio. So if for some reason I get interrupted I have to start all over again. Can you please look into it?
Thanks,

First, my condolences to your friend Dan and his family at Lazertoyz.
Second, thank you for all that you do. If Entertaining, Educating and Elevating the World of Flight is a mission statement, then mission accomplished. After a long break from the hobby, I'm back. Between foam and the electric technology (both efficiency and affordability) combined with the inspiration from you folks and Ed over at EA, the sky is the limit. And if David gets his way, that wont be a limit either.
Be safe and have fun,
Tommy

Episode about video production would be interesting. Could you make also an episode or episodes about those earlier failed experiments? I mean like the original rocket plane and stuff like that. Someone commented this on youtube, could you guys make a plane that is powered by a leaf blower? I really like those crazy experiments, and would really like to see more of them because I don't personally have money and time to do stuff like that (i'm a student). That would be awesome!

Tricopter shakes though the tail violently if I even touch it on ground. It's happens probably because the main structure and landing legs are somewhat loose. I think that shaking could cause the servo to burn because it is moving the tail continually from side to side.

YES, I'd like to hear a podcast, and even see a video, covering the production of your show. I really like the style of it and would like to pick up a few tips.:) Keep up the great work!
