Episode 217: RC Fest, Ring of Fire Redemption, and Piper Takes the Mic

Piper joins Ron, Dave, and Tom for a lively recap of RC Fest! She shares her adventures with the RC car “Try Me” courses and introduces the two new vehicles she brought home—including an ARRMA Mojave Grom BLX. The crew also talks night flying, Tom’s new airplane trailer, Ron’s Falcon 56 nitro project, a pair of bargain FMS Super Scorpions, and the impressive new E-flite Pilatus PC-21. Ron returns to the Ring of Fire seeking redemption after his memorable crash two years ago, while Tom celebrates having his first review published in Model Aviation. Along the way, Piper asks the important questions, the RC car collection keeps growing, and bedtime becomes increasingly negotiable.
