For this second episode of FT After Hours we have Wayne, Alex and David in studio and discuss a multitude of things. Some of our topics were David being stuck in Detroit on his way back to FliteTest from Sweden, what happens when you plateau in RC, jumping from planes to quads, advancements in the umx scene, the first EFI gas engine, retro series planes from hobbyking, David's butane experiments, bad experiences out flying and much more!
Thanks for listening!

I was suprised to hear about Ramz' micro quad and was inspired to make my own. (Might send you guys it if it ends well to see what you think)
Anyways keep up the good work!

I've been into plane construction (balsa scratchbuild) for many many years, but not much flying unfortunately. I have been given 2 Walkera CB100 and I am totally lost with them! I have a little experience with indoor IR coaxials (very little, as my cat doesn't let them live long), and I was wondering if you was thinking about doing a beginners guide to helicopters like you have for the aeroplanes!!
Keep up the good work!!

We can't (err... should not) fly high enough ... but if you see a contrail that looks like it has "beads" on it.. That's a Slow cycling Pulse Jet that caused it.

it is the smaller brother of the black manta, which is bigger. This would be nice for your friends working on the airline.

I love the podcasts for the show but these are really great!
regarding AMA fields- it sounds as if you are not so down with the AMA and rules, my flying buddy and I can't figure out why to join and deal with it- what is the appeal to join/fly at organized spaces?
people being anoying- I wear headphones with nothing playing...that way I can reply to really nice people being curious but ignore obnoxious passers by
thanks for another great after hours

Anyway got out of the hobby for about 13 or 14 years then stumbled on one of your videos on youtube i think it was the FT3D review, I have since built 12 of them flying them until they simply would not fly anymore and building another, I never thought to use foamboard for airplanes what an excellent material (has its drawbacks though) the good points far exceed the bad though as you all know.
I recently got into FPV in truth i tried it years ago before it became mainstreem I worked for a security company that had nanny cams they would install in teddy bears and clocks and things, They used small 2.4Ghz cameras with the receivers all in one, The distance was not very far but they worked. Well i went out and purchased a Blade CX2 coaxial helicopter chopped the nose off of the body and installed the camera and a 9 volt battery to power it. the copter lucky for me was on the old style 72Mhz 2.4 was just making an appearance at the time. worked ok until i tried to go around the corner in my apartment complex, You guessed it i crashed hard and lost interest again,
Anyway thanks for all the videos guys love your shows, One request more projects please i like it when you guys do off the wall stuff.
