It has been a wonderful four years in the making and cultivating of attf. I have had so much fun doing what I love, meeting new people and visiting with friends once a week to basically BS about my favorite hobby. attf/IH has grown to be the worlds largest RC podcast in existence and without a great team, we could not have accomplished this. For me, my hobbies have changed over the past year. I find myself wanting to do my new found love which is riding bikes. Not the peddle kind. That and my oldest son is getting to that age to where I can take him fishing and other boy things. Having me on attf is no longer a benefit, but I feel only a hindrance to the show since my passion isn't RC any longer. You, the listener deserves hosts that are passionate about what your passionate about. Moose, Daniel and Lucien are all very talented RC hobbyist who are passionate about RC, can take the attf helm and bring you a quality RC radio show that you as a listener deserve. I want to thank all the wonderful listeners.. so much for all the great feedback and putting up with me over the years. You all have been very supportive. I'd also like to thank the great vendors in this hobby. The vendors who have worked with attf in the past have bent over backwards (in some cases ;) ) to support us and give us items to give our listeners. I could not ask for anything better. With that, I believe attf can only get better as these hosts take the show to greater levels and maybe new things that attf hasn't done before. I may start another project down the road, it's in my blood. But speaking of road.. jamie~

Great flying days from all hosts! Join Diggs, Moose and Jamie for a 3 host show-down!. We say fair-well to Mr. Diggs.
Diggs has been a huge inspiration and wonderful host to work with over the years. Nobody can "replace" Diggs, only attempt to fill a spot. He has been a great host and friend to work with over the years. His time on attf has been nothing but pleasurable and something that we always looked forward too. attf gives him full respect on his decision to be "the average joe" at the field and the freedom to fly for fun. We support him in his decision but will miss him greatly.

That's right! You can win a full year of RCM&E Magazine. We have 2 subscriptions to give away this month!
But how do I win?!
We want audio content. What that means is a mix-up of past shows. This could be a full mixup, comedy, serious, cool ATTF music with hosts sounds, whatever you can imagine! The full theme music can be had here. This is for InsideHeli and ATTF. Whatever you choose.
Eg: A 5min audio clip of Diggs saying how he lost a Radian. etc.
The audio must be in either mp3, wav or ogg.
If you need a good audio editor that is free, check out Audacity.
Email the clip to: contact@allthingsthatfly.com
We will let this contest go until Holloween night. We will then decide on two people who win the full year of RCM&E Magazine.
Listeners will get a chance to hear these as we get them. (fun, fun)
:)
and Go~

I just bought the DX6i. I love the scroll wheel programing, very low power usages and features of this radio. However, once you buy something it's easy to find things wrong with it. There is no perfect radio in existence (listen to last show), so here is some basic help/fix/upgrades for the DX6i.
Fix for DX6i and Delta wings: (need 6Ch RX)
Broken trim switches: Fix yourself
Broken trim switches: Upgrade part
Wheel button upgrade: if the stock one breaks
Massive images of the inside of a DX6i
Recall and how to test if you need to send in for the recall (video)
That's right, not just banter this time - we have a topic!

We are gone to SEFF this week! So just sit back and re-listen to Luciens' Power System Corder roundup.
So please thank Socomon for the ATTF PSC re-mix!
Come down and say hi to us at our booth!
No InsideHeli this week. James was planning to talk about the new flybarless setup on his Knight 3D, and we have a ton of listener emails to read, but a family emergency means Chris will be unavailable to record for several days. Sorry to disappoint, but you guys will just have to go back and listen to repeats until next week. ;)
UPDATE: Thanks for the well wishes! Chris' family is OK, this is more like a "rescue mission". Even though it involves sick people stuck out of state, they'll be OK.
In this episode Diggs wants to kill a glider and Jamie about does. We also let loose our frustrations in ordering from over seas operations. But it's not all hate - New product talk, events and an attempted soaring episode!

Looking for 2to3 hosts for AllThingsThatFly.com - Sub - " a glider show"
This is going to be a specific show for: Gliders, sailplanes, thermal soaring, dynamic, DLG, etc.
This market is vast and will easily carry an active audience who (we know) would love to have a dedicated show to their hobby.
Chris (justplanechris) has years of gliding experience. He is willing to help get it kicked started, but we will need at least 2 new hosts since Chris will not be carrying the show (that's for you to do).
We would like 1-2 experts, then maybe a new enthusiast to ask the new'ish questions and learn with the audience.
We are working on a new website structure now and will have 3 different RSS feeds for the 3 shows (both current shows and this new one).
Ideal hosts would be:
-
Someone who has been doing slope, thermal, DLG for many years.
-
Computer technical enough to understand skype and basic audio editing.
-
Has 1-2 hours a week to dedicate to a podcast
-
Speaks clearly, can keep a show moving.
-
Is enthusiastic about RC and wants to help grow a network.
The second ideal host would be:
-

-
Has 1-2 hours a week to dedicate to a podcast

This is a great intro to the GWS SlowStick. "Vanning" made this some time ago and suggests it is now horribly antiquated. However, there is great info within this guide that I would like to help Vanning share.
Newbies Guide To the Slowstick
At this date, I would recommend the following for a good brushless slowstick (I think Diggs would agree as well).
Motor
2 Servos
1825A ESC
Prop
Prop saver
Lipos (or even the 1650's)
Thanks Vanning!
A good SlowStick thread.
Things change, yet stay the same. We have grown and decided to hit the whole RC market (well, the ones that fly that is). Welcome to AllThingsThatFly. We also welcome DiggyDiggs.
This show is random banter , however this is a transition show with some of a taste of future shows as far as hosts and personalities.
We hope you like the new format. We enjoy flying many things and we know you do to. We will be getting back to a regular format show now with email, interviews, tips and tricks - etc.
The RSS feed should not change. The older site addresses work just the same. It's still us. The new email is contact@allthingsthatfly.com
Stay tuned for much more.
Enjoy.~
Join Jamie and Chris as they talk about receivers, and what "negative shift" and "positive shift" means to you. And of course, there is the usual listener email and banter about the week's adventures. We're "positive" you'll enjoy this episode.

This week we chat with Jim, aka "macr0t0r" from RCG about some of his favorite heli tools, and what upgrades worked (or didn't work!) for his micro and mini helis. It's mostly just banter, but there are a few juicy tidbits of info if you listen close, so turn it up and tune it in.
This week we chat with Nick Jones from HeliDirect about the new HDX500 heli. Looks like an exciting new heli, in a great "mid-size" platform.

Just some quick code we did for our local community. Basically, we wanted a quick way to find somebody to fly with at the last minute. This allows us to talk and pick a spot to fly in. This is setup from the BoiseRC.com website (for the Idaho'ans). But you can take my code and modify it for a local forum group in your area.
Link to the page (no password needed)
Basically, just sing up at maps.google.com
Create an account (a gmail account).
Then click on "My Maps".
Edit up your map as you wish.
Once done, just right-click the KML link and "copy link location".
Look at my source code on my page. Copy that into a text file
Change my map link with yours (paste from the KML link)
Also change your lat / long in the code as well.
I made each fly spot a #. So we can talk about what number to fly at.
You can zoom in and also choose satellite view so you can see just what the field really looks like.
For the chat, I signed up with everywherechat.com
It's free.
Anyways, this is one of many ideas to find people who want to go fly with you. Mine is really basic, but I hope it helps. Another intergration may be to use Twitter, or Jaiku for SMS.
Have fun editing the code and coming up with ideas.

We will be back next week for full blown Heli talk!!
If you need your heli fix, don't forget to get on the forums (helifreak, RCGroups) or youtube.
Or if you need something to do, try Desktop Tower Defense. - caution, very, very addictive. (scoreboard = insideheli)
Thanks~~~

In Episode 7 we chat with Kelly, aka: "Quiet Riot" in the forums about his scale T-Rex 600-based Airwolf heli. If you're interested in scale flying, you will want to listen in!
Scroll down for the pictures and video!
Check out the new stickers for your car, boat, case and shovel!
Ok, so you probably won't decorate the shovel. But you could!
Check them out here.
We have more custom stickers coming as well.
Now there are three ways to support InsideHeli (hey, it's what makes the wives happy - and keeps ads off our site)
Check the right side bar, we have:
- Coffee
- Stickers
- The $1 donations.
Of course the 4th way to support the podcast is to tell your friends and spread the word!
Thanks for listening, we now return you to the regular heli talk.
QuietRiot from RCgroups met up with me today. Let me get some photo's of his heli's and showed them off for me. We have some high-rez photo's of his Trex 450, Trex 600 and Trex 600 scale AirWolf. Little did I know he would con me into flying my first CP. The 600 of course! Once I hovered the 600, the 450 was just "cute" and not intimidating. Watching the lights and landing gear on the Wolf go with the switches on the TX is amazing.
Here is photo's of them, and video of him flying. (no video of my hovering). QuietRiot possesses "chris style flying powers".
However, watch closely on the AirWolf video- something goes astray.
Thanks for the good time man~

In episode #5 we talk to Larry Haley, aka "Rare Bear" and hear the inspiring story of how he overcame physical difficulties to fly helis, and ultimate landed a job at HeliDirect. Of course, there's the usual listener email too. Tune in!
In this episode, Jamie and Chris talk about their workshops, and what tools and equipment they find useful in their pursuit of heli-nirvana. It's an excuse to go tool shopping! Listener email has questions about the HDX300 belt conversion, the Freestyle belt conversion (from Episode 3) and the Compy 300.
Here are the build logs for each type of belt tail conversion:
Compy FP
FreeStyle Belt conversion
HDX300 Belt conversion
Compy 300 (CP)
We just talked about the Freestyle kit in our last podcast - here it is in action on a HoneyBee FP.
Good job Chris.

This is kind of a "newbie" thing, but would have helped me out recently.
Crystals. We (in the US) use 72Mhz band for our radios receivers (RX) and transmitters (TX). You must use the same channel of crystals in your RX and TX. Me, being new, was not sure how to take a Mhz rating, and match that with a channel. Keeping things simple here is a standard chart. Most are included. This is helpful if somebody is selling a "72.110Mhz TX crystal" and your RX crystal just says "CH 16".

Chris shows us how to use a battery to the max. Enjoy while waiting for the next podcast!.
In episode #3 we go "freestyle" and discuss the Freestyle-Hobby Belt Conversion kit for micro helis. Visit their site. General freestyle banter, heli talk, and fun. More lister e-mail and answers. Tune in!
In episode #2, we discuss some of the most commonly asked questions about getting started in the RC helicopter hobby. We all had to start somewhere, and having a good foundation of what is recommended for your first or second heli is what most of us need. We'll also talk about some of the oft-used acronyms like "CP", "FP", "CCPM" and what they actually mean. Tune in!

Burke and Chris talk to one of the industry leaders in Lipo batteries. CommonSenseRC speaker Mike Kommel answers our questions and gives us insight on the latest battery technology, as well as tips for some of us new guys. ;)
We all want a nice Align Aluminum carry case for our sweet, ever so precious heli for taking it to an event, or showing it off at a family get-together. However they can be expensive for an "Align". The name costs too much for me! So after much searching and digging, I have found the measurements and comparable aluminum cases that are just as nice (in my opinion) for a fraction of the cost.
One option is the PROCASE 4 row euro CD case. I found the size is about the same as the Align Trex 450 case. You can choose your color as well, which is what the Align guys don't have.
Also, check out this CD 4 row case as well on eBay. Nice, but only one color. Here is an older used case with about the same size dimensions.
Basically, I'd rather be buying nicer heli parts than a "brand -A" carry box. You can sticker it up, color/paint it. I will get getting one of these and since I have access to foam, I can make my own padding inside. Since I'm building a 300 size heli, I could even go a bit smaller.
T-Rex 450 case:
Diameter:698x203x284(mm)
Diameter:24x8x11.5(in)
