ARCN Ep 104 – EZ innovations @ Class G with Travis Charbonneau

ARCN Ep 104 – Class G with Travis Charbonneau

Visiting FF’25 struck your Host Matt as a group of two things. 1. A great way to get started in the hobby (STEM and EZ packs) and 2. a fun way to get together with like-minded plane enthusiasts and do something you can do nowhere else. 60+ plane combat every 3hrs, and/or build Big and Crazy! If you’re here you likely are interested in RC Aviation. You are in the right place. Today we are going to talk with a friend of who has brought together some interesting Ah-HA moments of innovation that we can all try our hand with, and plenty of examples to model from. Travis Charbonneau is many things, but you may know him as the pro-painter of the FliteTest B-17 bomber, and the life-sized Star Wars hovercraft. While we may talk paint-shop, I am dying to talk to him about his work laid out in his Youtube channel “Class G” We also talk about our adventures, and the pile of RC and Full Scale Aviation News this past few months.

ARCN Ep 103 – Fast 3D Printing with Joy

ARCN Ep 103 – Fast 3D Printing with Joy

After trying Joe’s new (Anycubic Kobra2) loaned 3D printer, Matt realizes the 3D printing market may have made a generation skip. It seems as though print times are reducing by orders of magnitude. (5x+ faster) So I reached out to Richard Joy again to talk about what impact these new high-speed printers are affecting what people are doing in RC.

Ep 100.4 – A New Way to Fly with Al Bowers Giveaway (Spotify)

Episode 100 – Part 4 A New Way to Fly with Al Bowers – *Giveaway*
If you listen carefully enough you can hear the moment that our minds are blown. Al Bowers, retired NASA Scientist and engineer, honors us with a detailed conversation about his Prandlt-D Project. Join us as we talk about how it came about, its challenges, and how it may change aviation completely. This project did more than tested the theory, but ensured repeatable and reliable/usable proof that this concept wasn’t just groundbreaking, but could change aviation and other industries going forward towards a greener tomorrow. You might just have that mind-blowing moment yourself. Al also answers listener questions.
