For the first podcast of 2021, I sat down to discuss how crazy the first half of January was but how it turned around quickly.
Talked about some tech, YouTube and plans and ideas.
Lots on the go and despite 2021 looking ugh, there are some nice bright spots.

*** With the pandemic, the prices of RC planes seemed to go up and there were less sales. There were less new planes released this year, at least it seemed that way. We don't know what the governments will do in regards to rule changes affecting the hobby. Hopefully 2021 will be better for new releases and planes being in stock. There have been a lot of planes out of stock this year.
the virus!
André’s Highlights:
The yard challenge
The Hangar RC link
Diving into the sub 250 quads again
The sign from Nat
And still growing as a podcaster/youtuber
2021 hopes? iNav, Fuel based flight and maybe some reviews
Thank you to Sam, Shawn & Frank, Nat, Bill for the Dream Flight Libelle, Luis & Jon, the FT, Andrew, Crew and all the Patreon Supporters.
