This module will be available closer to the remote id compliance date of September 16th, 2023. SkyID will be under $100.00 and provides GPS features through Spektrum telemetry but is also compatible with non-Spektrum radio systems as a standalone device. Horizon Hobby and Spektrum are committed to ensuring that all our customers have the information needed to be in compliance with this new rule. Additionally, we will be providing educational materials and introductory pricing on SkyID. Most customers who fly at an AMA-sanctioned field have no need to worry about adding remote ID equipment if the field is an approved FRIA. However, it is up to the user to determine if they are in compliance and whether or not they need to install an RID module into their aircraft.

I have a lot to say about the RC Monster Jam World Finals. Some about the racing and freestyle, but mostly about the experience. What an amazing event they put on for the pit party.  The Losi LMT proved how impressive it is as an RTR RC Monster Truck Platform this weekend. If you are looking to get started in solid axle RC monster trucks, this is a proven way to start.  Check out the Losi LMT at Horizon Hobby: https://bit.ly/3mNmW6y

We discuss his trip to Oshkosh to the EAA Aviation Museum, visiting Horizon Hobby and Eli Field to the trek south to Joe Nall.

Mike and Jay talk about some mishaps on the flight line and their flights of Horizon Hobby's newest aircraft the OV-10 Bronco.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard that ecommerce has had a bit of a boom in the last couple of years. But does that mean a bust just around the corner? Some people think so. And even if the industry doesn't see a full implosion, there will certainly be rumbles and challenges every brand will have to deal with. Some of the inflated demand will fall away, and more and more competition will continue to creep in. Nate Kennedy has a plan to face the turbulent times ahead, and he broke them down for me on this episode of Up Next in Commerce. Nate is the VP of Global eCommerce and Customer Experience at Horizon Hobby, which is a corporation that manufactures and sells high-end, hobby-grade radio-controlled cars, planes, boats, and accessories. In the last few years, Horizon Hobby has re-platformed, invested in paid media, and saw the value of influencers. So what's next? Tune in to find out!Main Takeaways:Start Small: Going all-in on an idea you believe in might be exciting, but it can also be a big mistake. You have to test your ideas before investing time and resources into a tool, channel, or product that you believe will be a big hit. The customer will be the truth-teller, and you have to get their feedback before you make any big moves.Turbulence Ahead: COVID created some artificial momentum for ecommerce and buoyed growth for a while. In the next two years, brands will have to create their own momentum and build demand for their products amid much more competition.Bring Customers To You: The way to stand out is to be different — everyone knows that. But in practice, that means experimenting with your programs, your events, and your customer loyalty offerings to see where you can actually build an experience that will propel you beyond just selling products and into a place where you can become a lifestyle brand customers keep coming back to.For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

On this episode of Real Talk with Rob Tavi Ft. Richard Trujillo, Sr. Product Developer at Horizon Hobby, we take a step back in time to reunite with an old friend and coach from Rob Tavi's childhood days of competitive RC Car Racing. With an increasing demand among the competitive and consumer market, tune in as we explore the transformation and innovations within the world of radio control products, market conditions effecting the supply chain and the engineering improving both precision and performance!

The guys discuss Horizon Hobby's third iteration of a glider named the " Conscendo Evolution". Jay got a chance to build, program and fly the newest version of this warm liner . He also talks about the value of actually reading the manual even if it is a PNP!

In today's episode, Joe from Exocaged RC stops by to hang out and talk shop. I met Joe at USTE and we hit it off. He's very knowledgable about the technical side of the hobby and somebody we can all learn from–which is why his channel has taken off!   We talk about his YouTube workflow, the Axial Ryft, Vitavon, the Losi LMT, X-maxx, USTE and a bunch of things between it all. I had so much I felt like we could talk about and was trying to jump around too much. I'll have him back and try to stay on one thing a bit more, knowing that we could talk for hours....and just need to do it in multiple episodes. :)   Big thank you to Joe for taking the time to chat RC.   WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: 1.

Definitely a silent LEGEND in the industry! As mentioned in the show, here is a link to the AMA blogs on government relations and a few other links we felt helpful.https://amablog.modelaircraft.org/amagov/category/faa/https://www.modelaircraft.org/about-ama/advocacyhttps://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/https://www.faa.gov/uas/research_development/remote_id/ Also, here is a link to the products we mentioned in the beginning of the show. Real Flight 9.5 https://www.horizonhobby.com/search?q=RealFlight%209.5Mini Aeroscout https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/mini-aeroscout-rtf/HBZ5700.htmlMini T Brushless https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/1-18-mini-t-2.0-2wd-stadium-truck-brushless-rtr/LOS01019.htmlF-18 Blue Angels BNF https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/f-18-blue-angels-80mm-edf-bnf-basic/EFL13950.htmlV1200 BNF https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/v1200-1.2m-bnf-basic-with-smart/EFL12350.htmlSuper Baja Rey 2.0 https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/1-6-super-baja-rey-2.0-4wd-brushless-desert-truck-rtr/LOS05021.html  See you guys next time!

When you look towards Europe at the competitive aerobatic scene there is one name that stands out and that is Gernot Bruckmann. There's not an aerobatic aeromodelling event that Gernot has not either won or placed at. Gernot's life is surrounded by aeromodelling whether that be his model building, glider flying or aerobatics competitor. it was our pleasure to have Gernot join us to talk about everything from his start in the hobby, his business and future plans. We also took a look at some new Horizon Hobby products in the V1200 speedster and the latest release of Realflight simulator.

Time flies when you're swamped with projects. With quite a few things happening in and around the R/C hobby, I felt it was time to clear the deck. Fair warning, this episode is as random as it gets. New models, R/C news, and a few workbench updates thrown in for good measure.

When it was announced that Horizon Hobby had acquired Pro-Line Racing, the entire rc world did a double take. The forums were blowing up, and there were a ton of questions on everyone's mind. We had the awesome opportunity today to chat with Chris Dickerson from Horizon Hobby and Todd Mattson from Pro-Line Racing about the acquisition, and hopefully we asked some questions that you were looking for answers on. Special thanks to Chris and Todd for taking time out of their busy schedules to chat with us. You can visit the official Pro-Line Racing Site at that link, or go visit the Horizon Hobby Website here.

It was a bit of a crazy week in RC last week. It started on Monday, August 10, 2020 when we heard that Horizon Hobby acquired Pro-Line Racing. That put everyone in a tizzy. The next day, Traxxas announced the Hoss. The day after that ARRMA dropped the Felony and Infraction V2. It was a release war.  Spektrum Battery Chargers: https://bit.ly/3kWBfDCSpektrum SMART Battery Charger I use: https://bit.ly/34aBp4cSpektrum SMART Batteries: https://bit.ly/34cyWGy(Affiliate links)

Welcome to the first of a small series of podcasts about Axialfest Badlands 2020. It was awesome that Axial and Horizon Hobby were able to put it on given the current climate. The event was a great mind break from everything going on and allowed us to focus on our shared passion for the RC hobby. This episode covers my entire Axialfest journey from preparation, to truck builds, to the event itself. I'll be covering the event specifics in other podcasts, so let me know if you have certain things you want me to hone in on. I plan to do one about my favorite part about Axialfest Badlands, another about experiences with people, maybe one on the night run, and one with Jeremy From Big Squid about his thoughts on it.  So strap in for the ride. 

This week we caught up with the man behind the amazing event, Axialfest Badlands. Andrew is a 15 year veteran of Horizon Hobby and we are proud to have him on the team. Not only have you seen his work any basically any event Horizon attends or sponsors, Andy is the man behind both Axialfest and RC Fest.  We were able to get caught up with him right after his return from the event before he passed out! Enjoy this week's show! Also, make sure to set your reminder for airmeet live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMnBB3Wyywk&feature=youtu.be and check out the all new www.horizonhobby.com   

One of Australia's greatest aeromodelling exports has been Peter Goldsmith. Rising through the ranks of local aerobatic competition, and then taking on the world, Peter's journey in the hobby resulted in him working for Horizon Hobby where he played an integral part in the growth of the brand. He now enjoys a kind of retirement that is keeping him busy enjoying aeromodelling. Please enjoy this chat with a real legend of the hobby.

Lots to talk about in this episode. I talk about it later in the podcast, but want to link you to it first. Bari Musawwir has a new YouTube channel he is starting called Bari Builds.

Let’s talk Redcat Racing. Yes, They just announced the WendigoYes that have a couple new RCs out, but I hear they have quite a few slated for this year.They ended 2019 with the Gen8 Axe edition. Brilliant move.Then we get the 6s Kaiju beast.Now the Wendigo. Yes…it has a name reminiscent of the Wraith. Both are kind of eery mythical beings. Yes…it kinda looks like a Deadbolt. You’d think their ideas are coming from Axial. Oh…wait…about that… Who’s at the head of Redcat Racing now? Jeff Johns…who co-founded Axial back in 2005. Interesting. So it’s maybe his own ideas. And since his leaving Axial…what has happened to the once might Axial Wraith and the 2.2 class or rock bouncer/crawler?  yeah..it’s tanked in favor of the 1.9. Maybe not…if he has something to say about it. But before we get to the Wendigo and other items of the night…I want to riff with you guys.  I’m going to start some RC Conspiracies. Oh yeah. You know it.You guys see a Wendigo…I see a Ground Pounder 2 waiting to be announced at just the right moment. Redcat…please put one on pre-order for me. I want one of the first new MTs off that come off the line.They’ll have to trade in that 3 link for a 4-link and please…for the love of all that is bad to the bone about monster trucks…please make this GP2 have sway bars…and not just rear sway….Axial I’m looking in your direction. Who let that one slip through the Scale-realism-loving crack? SMHJeff Johns and Axial repurposes that AR60 axle and ditched the locker for some diff gears….and I’d recommend the same Redcat. If you want these to sell…I’m already hearing doubters just because of that spool. Get the team together and draw up some killer diffs and hardened gears that can handle the huge tires people will put on these. If you don’t put on 2.6 tires….95% of people who buy it will…maybe 100% if you give us the old wheels and foamless tires that were on it before. They weren’t worth of the trash bag in my trash can so I just left them sitting in a damp corner by a well pump in my garage…until I sold my Ground Pounder and gave them the stock tires to go with the 2.6 Pro-line’s I had put on it.  We'll also talk about the new HPI Drift cars. One is just a new body, but the other is a micro drifter.  Get your tinfoil hats ready! Click to subscribe ⇨ http://bit.ly/Sub-CCxRC CCxRC Shirts and Merch ⇨ https://teespring.com/stores/ccxrcWhere I Buy RCs Online ⇨ http://bit.ly/Horizon_Hobby

It's a good day for us Solid Axle Monster Truck fans. Axial has updated the popular SMT10 truck and is making it available again in the new year. They've added a faster 550 12t Dynamite motor and metal gear transmission to the Grave Digger RTR–which addresses my my biggest complaints about the original–and they've added a builders kit. On top of that, they lowered the price to $299 for the RTR and the kit is only $199.Both are available for pre-order through your local hobby shops.

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.

A new tracking and avoidance system, drones that assist firefighters, a Phantom firmware rollback, drone waiters that bring your meal, a personal No Fly Zone, shooting down those pesky drones, Qualcomm buys KMel Robotics, and California seeks to regulate drones below 400 feet. News PrecisionHawk Announces UAV Tracking and Avoidance System PrecisionHawk released an automated traffic control system for UAVs said to aid with the integration of UAVs into the National Airspace (NAS). The “Low Altitude Tracking and Avoidance System” (LATAS) uses global cellular networks on speeds as low as 2G. to provide real-time flight planning, tracking and avoidance for UAVs. LATAS is small (3x2x1in) and light and was developed to be plug and play or integrated into a UAV's circuit during manufacturing. Micro-flyer drone could help a robot to fight fires on ships Last November, the US Office of Naval Research conducted a demonstration of its Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting Robot (SAFFiR) along with an autonomous quadcopter drone. The robot/drone combination is intended to assist firefighters aboard naval vessels. This is under the Office of Naval Research's Damage Control Technologies for the 21st Century (DC-21) project. The quadcopter comes from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute and Sensible Machines. This Spherical Rescue Drone Is Straight Out of Star Wars Flyability has introduced what it calls “the world's first collision-proof drone.” The “Gimball” search and rescue drone is spherical and bounces off obstacles to keep flying. It has a coaxial twin rotor design inside a rotating protective carbon fiber frame. In Crash-proof UAV takes out US$1 million Drones For Good Competition we learn that the Flyability Gimball took first place in the Drones For Good contest. Unexpected issues force drone maker DJI to roll back 'White House' update DJI has rolled back the geofencing firmware update for the Phantom — also known as the "White House patch" — because there have been reports of "unanticipated flight behavior." Drone waiters to serve patrons in Singapore restaurants Infinium Robotics specializes “in providing autonomous UAV solutions for commercial applications.” That includes food delivery by drone in some Singapore restaurants. The rotors are completely enclosed to avoid injury and the UAVs utilize sense and avoid technology. Singapore currently has a shortage of workers in the food industry so this is covering a real need. NoFlyZone Lets You Establish A No-Fly Zone Over Your Property NoFlyZone creates a GeoFence around your home after you register your property. Currently,  the service works with UAS manufacturers DroneDeploy, YUNEEC, HEXO+, PixiePath, RCFlyMaps. EHANG, and Horizon Hobby. Oklahoma bill would allow property owners to shoot down drones without civil liability The Oklahoma State Senate Judiciary Committee passed Senate Bill 492, giving property owners the right to shoot down drones without fear of civil liability. Backers say that drones are increasingly being used by cattle thieves. This bill would protect property owners should they be sued by thieves over a shot down drone. Qualcomm Buys Aerial Drone Startup with Advanced Control Technology Chipmaker Qualcomm has acquired startup KMel Robotics, which specializes in multi-rotor drones. Qualcomm isn't providing any details other than to point to the KMel Robotics website: “We are extremely excited to become part of the Qualcomm team and look forward to bringing aerial robotics to the next level together.” KMel Robotics has produced videos demonstrating impressive flight coordination: Flying Robot Dance unveiled at CES 2014. Flying Robot Rockstars where hexacopters create music. Amazing in Motion demonstrates swarming quadcopters. California's No Drone Zones California bill SB142 bans trespassing by drones flying below 400 feet. Mentioned UOIT Controls The Weather At Its Drone Testing Centre
