This week Alex, Kenny and Nick sit down with Rotorflight power user Tomas Kirnak to discuss this extremely affordable FBL that utilizes open source community written software to power it.  We cover the basics of how to get involved with the rotorflight community, what are the hardware options, which radios it's compatible with, how is the setup process, what's the learning curve like, how does it fly, what's tuning like, and who is it really aimed at.  At 100 dollars per FBL and being able to purchase a radio that would allow complete integration and forward programming for only 250 dollars, it's a system you can buy 3 or 4 of for the price of some more expensive radio and fbl combos.  Our hope is to help guide your purchasing decisions by explaining just what you would be getting yourselves into, and where to find help if you decide to take it on.  Special thanks to everyone in the Rotorflight community who helped us with this episode.On top of all that we catch up with the crew (spoiler alert:  there all back to flying again!), as well as cover the latest news in the hobby.  There's also some updates on how to get a hold of us, as well as the latest on swag here at the Revolution.  As always, for listener questions, advertising inquiries, funfly information, or any news items you would like us to cover you can email us at questions@rotorrevolution.live, or message us at our facebook page at www.facebook.com/rotorrevolutionrcpodcast.Some helpful links:Central hub of all Rotorflight Information:www.rotorflight.orgRotorflight Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/groups/rotorflightRotorflight Discord:https://discord.gg/6QUySXdEvdRotorflight on RC Groups Discussion Forumhttps://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4000345-Rotorflight-Flight-Control-%28FBL%29-Software-Official-discussionRotorflight on Githubhttps://github.com/rotorflight

We've got a special treat for you all this week.  We've talked before about how much we love the stories behind the products.  Greggor McGrath of Absolute CNC products has a unique story to tell.  We'll hear how his first CNC machine bought of a craigslist ad turned into a sucessful hobby business, and how a conversation between nitro enthusiasts turned into designing one of the best pipes for nitro helicopters to come around in a long time.  But even if you aren't a nitro fan you'll enjoy the story behind the development and how a small community of enthusiasts can come together to develop, test and bring to market a unique new product.  We've also got plenty of news on the leadin to the now completed Rotor Live, and our usual updates.  Speaking of Rotor Live...   we have what we think will be a GREAT episode coming in a couple weeks with all of the updates on new equipment coming out of Rotor Live.Rotor Replay:https://youtu.be/WXOmTQFECK8?si=TRlMafvu0H6kkZC2Absolute CNC Productshttps://www.absolutecncproducts.comAs always...  thanks for listening, for sharing, for reviewing our podcast, and helping us spread the word.  We greatly appreciate it!Nick, Brian, Alex, and Kenny.
