Last Saturday i had my 1:1 maiden (my first flight ever in a plane what is a bit strange bcz i m a rc pilot for 10/11 years now hehe) in a ASK-21 and it is AWESOME. So my new hobby is 1:1 glider flying now (beside rc flying) will post some photo's in the forum.

Because I used to love Flite Test, don't anymore, and want to encourage them to get back on-message. e.g. Durafly Tundra podcast... 6,400+; tech Talk with David, 8800+ I'm beginning to worry that Flite Test without Chad Kapper is like Apple without Steve Jobs.

Loved seeing the periscope live a few Saturdays ago. And loved hearing it all over again on the podcast. Awesome job goes to David for saving the audio! GarageBand is sometimes GarbageBand!

I don't usually comment but holy moly this was a good podcast! Super insightful, inspiring and enjoyable! You guys definitely have to try and get Chad on the podcast again in the future. He explained everything amazingly well and it was just so good to listen to the soothing dulcet tones of his Australian accent. It was a bit of a shame about the audio cutting out though, I know you guys have had troubles with Garageband in the past. Maybe give a program called 'Audacity' a go. It's on both Mac & Windows and is free, but is very well made and could be a bit more reliable.

Anyway just an idea, thanks again for the great podcast everyone!
Cheers,
Peter

Yeah we have a few ideas and will run a back up recording next show.

I'd like to talk to Chad and even Paul and Thomas (BMS Web) to learn about their Dubai experience for sure.

Oh sweet! Love Paul and Thomas! I was totally immersed in Dubai-related stuff the whole weekend. Digging through every periscope, FB stream, youtube vlog and insta post :D Such a cool event.

I honestly don't know which one to save up for, Drone nationals or next years Dubai event, if there is one. Takes a bit of planning to fly over from Finland for a week or so :)

This is great news guys, I was listening to the podcast twice this week on the way to work and back and was always sad about the short hickups when some seconds or longer of audio were just missing. That means redownload from Libsyn and import into my car, and next week you are on again :-) ... I am so curious what I missed, Thx for all your work, Stefan

Awesomely awesome! I love it when people are passionate about what they do. I can hear the excitement and joy in their accomplishment... what FliteTest does is to inspire us to new levels of accomplishment, regardless of the flight platform.

This was one my favorite After Hours podcast to date. I listened to it twice. I'm not sure what Anon, is talking about, maybe he should look elsewhere. I think FT and affiliates (Stem, Groups, and Full Scale soon) is only getting better and better, and making the hobby better as well. I saw these guys at the last iHobby in Chicago years ago, and they were mobbed at the door. I didn't know who they where at the time, but boy do I wish I did. Educate, and Elevate, remember, the FT crew is doing just that. Now I will listen to it for a third time since the audio is fixed, fantastic.

The third time was the best listen, as you can hear everything. Thanks for the recovery.
