Oh, you guys are going to really like this installment of our show. Just from the name of this one, you just KNOW you're in for a wacky ride this week.

In this 338th installment, our last show of 2015 (recorded on December 16th), IFLYOS is back in the driver's seat. With him you'll hear Cathead, LMopar69, HatefulGravey, and NavionFlyer. There's some great discussion in this show on the FAA's and DOT's new "Drone Registration" so you'll certainly want to listen to this one! HAPPY HOLIDAYS and HAPPY NEW YEAR from your friends at TheCrashCast! May God bless each and every one of you!!

This 337th show was recorded LIVE on December 9th, and is the third show WITHOUT your fearless leader. No worries though, as IFLYOS steps in to host a darned good show! Also present to round things out are LMopar69, HatefulGravey, NavionFlyer, Vintauri, and Rumbuilder. LINKS: Foam-Flite Small Charger Box JR Colt Retro Transmitter (Nice!)

This week we are without Navionflyer and Cathead, but we pick up HatefulGravey to help fill the void. We share a couple of videos, a great inaugural review by Tim King, and try to steer someone in the right direction of their first 3D Printer.

In this week's 'Thanksgiving Eve' show we talk a bit about the DOT Task Force Recommendations that came down on November 21st, as well as some great Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday deals! Oh, and if your Turkey is all prepped to fry up but you find yourself without propane for your fryer, we've got you covered on that front, too!

This week we actually have a guest on the show. Patrick Fox had an opportunity to attend the inaugural F3Expo and he met with us to share his impression of this new, and hopefully annual event. Oh, and if you've never had the opportunity to see 'Fainting Goats" in person, JUST DO IT! LoL LINKS: A 'ParaCuda'?? FB Drones She-Drones (An organization for the ladies!)

This week we get to dip into the mail bag again and share listener emails! Oh, and there's also some discussion on what everyone is planning for personal transport for SEFF next year (and other big events that we may attend). Hit the links below for a lot of interesting stuff, as well as the typical unusual stuff we discuss sometimes. LoL LINKS: Some Darned Fine Safety Goggles (LoL!)

As much as your hosts LOVE CNC machining, this week we're here to share lots of information regarding cutting foam manually with a hot wire! We cover power supplies, bows (and other apparatus, too), wires - just about everything you need to know to add these techniques to YOUR building skills. Hang on! We've got LOTS of links this week!

One thing I've noticed about having Cathead on the show is that I am never at a loss for determining a funny and somewhat obscure show title. LoL  In this one we bring a small amount of news of rule-making and new products, and King provides us with a recap of the FPV event that he attended last weekend. It certainly looks as though our friend SkyJet (along with the help of his fellow club , most certainly) did a great job in setting up this first-time event! LINKS: A SCAM Registration Site?

In this week's episode we continue our trend of covering all kinds of weird stuff, but there's also some seriousness. I get a chance to give my impression of my first MultiGP event (which was AWESOME!) and we get into a discussion regarding this whole Drone Registration mess that surfaced this week. Pfft!

This week we fill a few empty seats with some guest hosts (HatefulGravey, SR71Freak, and MultiRC-Mark), although we didn't really let them say much. LoL We share some news, read some listener emails, and try to urge folks to follow some rules. :) LINKS: Poking The Hornet's Nest INCREDIBLE FPV Freestyle! Anti-Drone Weapon?

So in this 327th installment of our little show you'll find our crew up to our typical nonsense (which includes corrupting even our youngest of youth), but we do have some fun info for you. Tim 'IFLYOS' King is back from his adventures at this year's Heli Extravaganza and he's here to share all of the fun with us.

This year's them is "Building With Balsa" and we've set a $40 (USD) minimum.  

In this episode of our little show, we do another segment of "Ask Us Anything". You guys asked some really good questions - so many, in fact, that we barely made a dent in the list! We'll be revisiting this from time to time as we find ourselves looking for content. Lots of fun was had recording this episode and we all hope that you enjoy it.

In this week's show we talk about Karl's new (old) Mud Duck, and then we get into a discussion on how one might build their own MultiRotor that is comparable in features and capabilities as something like a DJI Phantom 3 or 3DR Solo. We talked about lots of parts that we might use to satisfy this goal, so there are lots of links for you to click on! LINKS: Cellular GPS Tracking Solution?

In this week's installment there's some talk about the new FatShark Faceplates, Headplay Goggles, and I give my personal experience and opinions on both. It looks like Karl is scoring a deal on a 'new' used aircraft, and we share some items in the news. Also, you get a little peak inside our crazy minds as we roll right into an impromptu planning session for an absurd idea. :) LINKS: FatShark Faceplate In Black FatShark Headset/Faceplate Case Weaponized Police Drones?

The planets all aligned and everything fell into place so that half of our team were able to attend the RAMS Club Electric Flight Festival in East Bend, North Carolina last week. In this week's installment, we'll talk a bit about the fun, food, and friends that all contributed to such an outstanding event. Also, as a bonus bit of info, we bring on our friend Matt "SR71Freak" Vaudrin to discuss some things you might consider doing to your aircraft should you experience a 'fly-away' as Matt did.
