Heads up! This episode is a long one, but a good one we think you'll all enjoy! We catch up with Alex, Kenny, and Nick, and then dig into a big news week. Lots to talk about on this one, including the recent issues with Radiomaster AG01v gimbals installed in Vcontrol transmitters. Just that much is an episode in itself... follow that up with a great interview with the one and only Bert Kammerer of BK Hobbies and SAB USA. Hear about Bert's beginnings, his time on the successful video series Smack Talk RC, and what you might see from SAB, Theta, BK Servos, and BK Hobbies in 2024. It's a long interview, full of great stories and information, and honestly we could have kept on going!Rotor Replay Link to Smack Talk RC Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@SmackTalkRCEvent Links:New England Funflyhttps://www.facebook.com/NewEnglandHeliCrewAMPs Funflyhttps://amps-rc.org/Center Grove High School Indoor Funfly Serieshttps://cghs.centergrove.k12.in.us/students/extra-curricular-activities/rc-flying-clubAlso... last week on the Rotor Revolution Hat giveaway contest.
