Show Notes:

Quick shout out to the FTAH guys for giving us a shoutout and also the Crashcast Crew for their shoutout as well!
Ben Greenewalt ripped off by someone “selling” a NAZA. Info from my chat with Big Ben:
"So guy put up that naza m Lite I was buying for 75$. I paid him thru PayPal and waited to get tracking info. Nothing wont answer me on messenger now. Email is shut down and now the Facebook account is too. Filed a police report contacted PayPal they're "reviewing" it so hopefully I'll get my money back"

Just curious, will the community podcasts follow the same cadence as the other podcast (i.e. Every other week)?

Great read on authentic WWI lozenge camouflage: http://www.wwi-models.org/misc/Colors/German/loz2/

Our current plan is to release an episode every other week on Wednesday. We will be soliciting community input for topics and guest(s) for ep 3.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Many times during the podcast you mentioned getting rid of the paper on DTF.

The product already exists...
It's been around for a few years...

Three RC guys from Michigan contacted the Adams Foam Company(the maker of dollar tree foam) and had them make a paperless product for them.
The sheet dimensions are 2'x4'.
It's available in cases of 16 sheets.

Here is the link.
www.modelplanefoam.com

Flitetest even did a short video about it:

You guys really need to try it.
The product is bendable into nice curved shapes.
I think Willsonman will especially like it as a DTF alternative.

Thanks for the reminder, Burly! Now that you mention it, I do recall something about this. I'll definitely look into this!

Great podcast! Jcannon I just recently got a taranis too, but I had some driver issues. Where do you fly? I heard you talking about a feild, but the only one I've heard is the one in Apopka.

The FT Community Cast is found at Off the Field/Audio and Video Production/Community Podcast. That's where Fred stuck us. We haven't posted anything regarding input for ep 3, yet. But, that should be up in the next day or so.

MPF is available yes, but it is much more expensive by comparison. I'd personally save the $ for other parts and take the 2 seconds to peel the paper off and recycle it. Since I sand my models down anyway, the flatness of MPF is irrelevant for me.

And now I want to try cutting foam.
With all that spare time I have
