Rotor Revolution RC Podcast EP.11 Greggor McGrath with Absolute CNC Products Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

We've got a special treat for you all this week. We've talked before about how much we love the stories behind the products. Greggor McGrath of Absolute CNC products has a unique story to tell. We'll hear how his first CNC machine bought of a craigslist ad turned into a sucessful hobby business, and how a conversation between nitro enthusiasts turned into designing one of the best pipes for nitro helicopters to come around in a long time. But even if you aren't a nitro fan you'll enjoy the story behind the development and how a small community of enthusiasts can come together to develop, test and bring to market a unique new product. We've also got plenty of news on the leadin to the now completed Rotor Live, and our usual updates. Speaking of Rotor Live... we have what we think will be a GREAT episode coming in a couple weeks with all of the updates on new equipment coming out of Rotor Live.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Surprise! This week we're releasing a special edition mini episode (on our off week!) all about the Dubai Masters.

We'll hear about some of the challenges they faced, some crashes, the entire field doing piroflips at the same time together all along the runway, spending time with announcer Nik Johnson and organizer Tareq Alsaadi, and many more details about the contest. Sadly the whole crew couldn't make this one as we rushed it into production, but we hope you'll enjoy it. As always thanks for listening!

Rotor Revolution RC Podcast EP. 9 - This Vs. That: A flybarless comparison with Scott Graham Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

Episode 9 (are we really almost at double digits?, that was quick!) is jam packed with goodness! The efforts to make Alex buy a Dnamic continue, Nick flies almost as much as Alex, Kenny digs in to tuning his Dnamic and lots more. The news is short and sweet this time as we head into the lull before all the Rotor Live announcements. Stay tuned as we'll have some special rotor live coverage in a future episode.

We take advantage of the extra time to dig into Scott Graham's new flybarless / radio comparison series on his new "This Vs. That" youtube channel. We'll learn all about the various comparison methods, which electonics he plans to cover, and why the whole thing came about. We can't think of anyone better to do a proper fair comparison between all these FBLs and we're looking forward to seeing more from Scott. You can check out his Youtube channel at: www.youtube.com/@TheOfficialThisVSThat

Show notes

Heads up! This episode is a long one, but a good one we think you'll all enjoy! We catch up with Alex, Kenny, and Nick, and then dig into a big news week. Lots to talk about on this one, including the recent issues with Radiomaster AG01v gimbals installed in Vcontrol transmitters. Just that much is an episode in itself... follow that up with a great interview with the one and only Bert Kammerer of BK Hobbies and SAB USA. Hear about Bert's beginnings, his time on the successful video series Smack Talk RC, and what you might see from SAB, Theta, BK Servos, and BK Hobbies in 2024. It's a long interview, full of great stories and information, and honestly we could have kept on going!
