The Ins and Outs of Burnout.

This week the gang sits down to talk about burnout.  What causes it, and how do we each overcome it when it shows up?  How do we pull our friends back into the hobby after they take a break?  What motivates us to push through problems?  All that plus Kenny does a longterm review of the Blade Fusion 700 helicopter and talks about his experience with it after getting a bunch more flights on it.Rotor Replay:https://youtu.be/VkjBPgGggnk?si=WowBZUiNzDnjzNOuAs always...  thanks for listening!Website:www.rotorrevolution.liveFacebook:www.facebook.com/rotorrevolutionrcpodcastEmail:questions@rotorrevolution.liveSwag Store:www.zazzle.com/rotorrevolution

EP 47. IRCHACHOS! w/ Lamont James

This week as the crew gears up for IRCHA we offer up a fun filled relaxed view of how to have fun at IRCHA.  We're all tired of the "what do you pack for a funfly" episodes...   so we thought we'd do a how do you have fun while you're there episode.  If you've been in the hobby for a long time you know there is no better guest for such a subject than Helidirect team pilot Lamont James who brings the FUN to every funfly.There's also the usual news and updates, plus we dig in with some deep thoughts on some listener mail.Important update!  We are taking a week off.  Rather than try and record the Tuesday night of IRCHA week, we'll be waiting till after IRCHA to record, and so our next episode won't drop till the 19th of August.  We'll use that time to get ready for IRCHA, and Brian will be busy managing team USA at the World Championships.  As always...  thanks for listening!Website:www.rotorrevolution.liveFacebook:www.facebook.com/rotorrevolutionrcpodcastEmail:questions@rotorrevolution.iveSwag Store:www.zazzle.com/rotorrevolution

EP.45 Helifest UK with Rob Bingham and Stu Smith

This week we're joined once again by guest hosts Rob Bingham and Stu Smith who take us on a trip across the pond to the largest funfly in the Uk, Helifest.  Rob and Stu sit down with event organizers, pilots, team managers, and manufacturers and ask them about the new innovative contest format as well as what's new in their hobby worlds.  Special thanks to Rob and Stu for all their efforts to bring us along to see how things are done in the UK. The lull in news just before IRCHA is upon us, so not a lot of news this week, but plenty to hear about from the crew's summer adventures in the hobby.As always...  thanks for listening!Website:www.rotorrevolution.liveFacebook:www.facebook.com/rotorrevolutionrcpodcastEmail:questions@rotorrevolution.iveSwag Store:www.zazzle.com/rotorrevolution
