Do you really think the two video episodes a week is a commitment that should be cast in stone?
We all like FliteTest...and yes, it's a disappointment if a video is skipped...but let's look at the bigger picture.
In the old days of FliteTest, the YouTube videos were the major offering.
There really wasn't much else for them to worry about...
But today, there's a whole lot of moving parts to FliteTest...
Now they have a full-blown store where they not only resell product, but manufacture product, fulfill orders, provide customer service, and put out fires(in laser cutters)...it is not an easy job.
Then there's the yearly full-blown FliteFest Event, and the travel commitments and planning that goes into attending other RC events as well as maker events, the efforts to put in place an educational outreach for schools, new product design and introductions(with the concurrent build videos)...not to mention administering a very large and ever changing active website with a store and forum......and I failed to mention the podcasts...
Realize too that not all the FliteTest family are paid employees(at least I assume they aren't).
Many have day jobs, but are contributing their time(the After Hours Podcast comes to mind).
Sometimes they have family commitments that will delay their participation.
So in the realm of today's FliteTest...it's understandable...things pile up...
I don't think they need to be walking on pins and needles during those especially busy times, and worrying about offending people if a video or two falls through the cracks.
I also see no need for them to apologize on facebook, twitter, or any other social media.
