This week marks at least a year for all of us with the open source FBL Rotorflight. So we thought we would take a look back and have an honest discussion about our experiences. What do we love about it, what frustrates us, will we keep flying it? Plus all the usual news and lots of updates from the crew.

As always... thanks for listening!

This week Kenny, Nick, and Alex dig into a discussion on disc loading and blade choice. We'll talk about disc loading in general, ways to lighten or increase disc loading, as well as talk about some of our favorite blade choices and why we like em. We hope it will inspire you to experiment with both blade length and brand choice.

This week as the crew gears up for IRCHA we offer up a fun filled relaxed view of how to have fun at IRCHA. We're all tired of the "what do you pack for a funfly" episodes... so we thought we'd do a how do you have fun while you're there episode. If you've been in the hobby for a long time you know there is no better guest for such a subject than Helidirect team pilot Lamont James who brings the FUN to every funfly.

There's also the usual news and updates, plus we dig in with some deep thoughts on some listener mail.

Important update! We are taking a week off. Rather than try and record the Tuesday night of IRCHA week, we'll be waiting till after IRCHA to record, and so our next episode won't drop till the 19th of August. We'll use that time to get ready for IRCHA, and Brian will be busy managing team USA at the World Championships.

As always... thanks for listening!
