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.

Welcome Back! As Hurricane Debbie approaches, NC is on the cusp of 3 solid days of rain. It got me thinking about Float Flying around with RC water Fowl. So, naturally I wanted to talk to our past guest Richard Joy - my English friend living in California (FF 2023). Today we talk about the things he has recently learned about float flying, or flying off water. He will share his earned top 5 things you want to know before float flying. In the History segment this episode we also talk about the first aquatic rc aircraft. And of course we start with talking about our recent antics in the hobby. So Buckle in, let’s take off.
