TSR podcast Episode “New Year New Everything” Hosts: Tim Smith and Matt Howsen   Show introduction and welcome.     Tim Notes:   Maclan announcement Software development, TSR esc coming   Poop Phone is finally retired, for the new iPhone 12 pro MAX, Oh what did I do now…..   Wait, want a new poop story?   VP car and how close are we to a Vegas winning car?     News items   Proline and the mass exodus, what is going on?   Well remember when Horizon bought out Hobbico? Proline is part of that deal and if you were paying attention when they announced it you would know that some folks have already had a run with Horizon and don’t seem to feel the brand has anything for them anymore.   Could we be seeing the final days of real money contracts for RC drivers? You better offer more than just your ability to wheel if you plan to make a living off this industry. Things are changing and even though the players are young they are believing that the old requirements to get a check in RC are the same and I am sorry to tell you they are not.       RC Word Of the Week Contract: An agreement between private parties creating mutual obligations enforceable by law. The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.   Main Topic:     The Maclan ESC and motor and what have I learned?   Talk about the software and how it works: stages, timing, delays and how it all plays together.   GNSS logger and how it can be a help? Read the G’s ET is off by about .15 but mph is on the money.   **Body battle: Malibu, Vette, IROC   IROC: Until this body came out the Vette was my choice for over all speed and aero dynamic smoothness but this one changes that and for me the IROC is the body to run if you have a 70 mph no prep car.   Vette: it looks aero dynamic and guess what it is, this body was the fastest body in the group averaging 1 mph faster speeds over the other two. The downside is this body likes to fly if you get the car just the tiniest bit sideways during braking, something I seem to do way too often due mostly to having to run on a spot with a short shut down area causing me to get into the brakes too hard too soon.   Malibu: boxy but flat sides make it stable going down the track and a tiny bit better during braking over the Vette   Featured Item of the week   Maclan SSI-065 battery powered soldering iron, small badass and under 100 bucks. 550°F $89.99     Thank you to MaxAmps, Maclan Racing, MKS Servo, CowRC, All you awesome fans, We love you all!

Greetings podcast listeners! Everyone in the industry has had questions about the Horizon Hobby buyout of Hobbico, and I mean EVERYONE. Hobby shop owners, manufacturers, even your average basher, wants to know what's happening to some of their favorite brands. We recently had the honor of being invited to sit down with Joe Ambrose, the CEO and President of Horizon Hobby, and ask him a bunch of questions that we had and knew that our readers had. When we were finished with the interview, we left with some great answers to our questions as well as learning a little more about the true passion Joe has for the RC industry. For the regular listeners of the podcast, this episode features Big Squid RC's Brian Smolik and Tim Mohr doing the question asking, while Tim Gluth did the intro and Editing. This all happened while we were down in Champaign IL during the 2018 Horizon RC Fest. We know not everyone wants to listen to a podcast, we were hoping to have the transcript for this up at the same time, but it's taking a little longer to make that happen. As soon as we have that done, we will let everyone know. We can't thank Joe and Horizon Hobby enough for the amazing opportunity to sit down and chat, and hopefully answer some questions people had about what's been going on.

Package delivery by autonomous drone, drone company management changes, making interfering with firefighters illegal, drone service on demand, North Dakota innovation hub, drone photography contest results, USAF addresses pilot shortage, and accidents increase in Netherlands. News Swiss Postal Service, Air Cargo Carrier Begin Drone Testing Freight carrier Swiss WorldCargo announced on July 7 that testing had begun using the Matternet ONE drone for small package delivery. The quadcopter operates autonomously and can carry one kilogram up to 10 kilometers on a single battery charge. Matternet says the drone uses “secure routes that adapt to weather, terrain and airspace [and] allow Matternet ONE to fly autonomously beyond line of sight, without the need for a human pilot.” The cloud-based routing system … ”guides the Matternet ONE along a secure route at low altitude – between 50-100 meters above ground – adjusting for inclement weather, avoiding tall buildings, mountains and restricted airspace.” Chinese Manufacturer DJI Hires Prominent 'Drone Lawyer' Brendan Schulman, who defended Pirker against the FAA, has left law firm Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel where he was head of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems practice. Now Schulman is Vice President of Policy and Legal Affairs at drone maker DJI. Other movements in the industry include: Amazon hired former Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) counsel Ben Gielow in September as its senior manager of public policy. Amazon appointed Sean Cassidy, a former Alaska Airlines pilot and first vice president of the Air Line Pilots Association, as director of partner relationships in March. Last August, Google hired David Vos, a technology entrepreneur and former Rockwell Collins senior director, to lead its Project Wing effort to deliver packages. In April, Francis “Chip” Sheller, the former Aerospace Industries Association vice president of communications and research, became vice president of communications and public affairs for Aurora Flight Sciences. Former deputy director of the FAA's flight standards service, John McGraw, acted as a consultant to video production companies applying for an FAA sUAS exemption. After drone diverts fire-fighting planes, lawmakers want fines and jail time California representative Paul Cook (R-Apple Valley) introduced H.R. 3025 to the House of Representatives, which would make it a criminal offense to interfere with firefighting efforts on federal land. Fly4Me gets FAA approval, launches ‘Uber for drones' Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Fly4Me received a Section 333 exemption to “conduct community training workshops, research and development, and aerial inspections of buildings and land within the United States.” Now the company wants to establish a marketplace where customers book flights and pilots bid on projects. Customers are able to interact with the pilot during the flight and stream FPV. A beta version of the platform was released June 17, 2015. Is the Silicon Valley of Drones in North Dakota? North Dakota wants to be an innovation hub for drones. Grand Sky Development Park is set to open this summer at Grand Forks Air Force Base as a UAS Business and Aviation Park. The facility features 1.2 million square feet of hangar and office space, and a runway for drones. The state invested $5 million in infrastructure and $7.5 million more in grants for runway improvements.
