A short promo to update our viewers about our upcoming interview with Raphael Pirker (Trappy) regarding his controversial NYC FPV flights.
Raphael Pirker (Trappy) is an Austrian born university student that has a passion for flying first person view (FPV) RC planes. Recently his passion got him in some hot water recently!
He decided to prove what many people thought couldn't be done. He flew an unmanned aerial vehicle in New York city. While the footage is stunning, and Trappy claims it was all legal, many feel it was an irresponsible and reckless act.
At Flite Test, we believe safety is very important. That's why Josh and Josh have been working on illustrating what NOT to do at your local flying field.

Flite Test - Weak Signals Expo Teaser
If you use a forum, or if you've read an RC aircraft Magazine, you've seen discussions about events like fly-ins, trade shows, and tournaments. This episode, join Josh and Josh as they hit some highlights at the Toledo Weak Signals Model Expo. They visit the booth of Fred's Flying Models, featuring light, rubber band, free flight models. They converse with the owner of a turbine-powered jet. And they also get some time with a well-known transmitter company. Don't miss this first installment of the Weak Signals event in Toledo!
Once again Josh and Josh talk to us from the Weak Signals Model Expo in Toledo Ohio. After a brief explanation of just what an Expo is, Josh Bixler makes it clear, there's no soft sticks here. This episode they meet Jim Bourke, and to call him the founder of RCGroups, while accurate, would be a gross understatement of this man's many endeavors. During this interview, Josh Scott confesses he enjoys
vomiting. From there they meet up with Roland of EOT Models. He shows off his foam Rare Bear, and Josh Bixler lets slip that this plane will be in an upcoming review. Finally the guys talk to Bobby Watts, RC helicopter pilot, and videographer of really big fish. Big fish, with big teeth, and he's got the tale to tell. Tune in for this episode, and more, as the guys continue to bring you coverage from the Toledo Model Expo.
Hot dogs, gates to the sea, and sounds of the city, oh my. The Joshes are once again at the 57th Model Expo in Toledo Ohio, and they focus this week on aircraft that hover. Josh Scott found something he wanted to fly while speaking with Brian about his "multiarmed helicopters". Good news for the guys this week, because Ben from 3D Hobby Shop said it here, that he gives planes away to people named Josh. Which planes did they pick out? The crew reunites with their favorite RC helicopter pilot, John Coyle, as he tests the Blade MCPX for them at a nearby gymnasium. While this little heli doesn't excel at clock tocks it's very capable at several other maneuvers. Watch and listen carefully towards the end, as John challenges Josh Scott for best quote of the week.

Flite Test was created for people passionate about RC flight. Our hope is to create a show for the people that build and fly planes and helicopters as a hobby. They are the dreamers and engineers that get a thrill from the first hand launch of a maiden flight. The show will personify the veteran and the beginner alike giving them a chance to share common experiences with others, in turn, enhancing the RC community. The goal is to develop a creative outlet that allows us to work in our passion daily. Flite Test is designed to cater to the audience. It has just enough humor, technology and information to appeal to the RC flight crowd as a whole. We hope to empower, entertain and educate as we move forward with quality content.
This is the unedited guided bomb version 03 footage from the FPV Guided Bomb episode.
RC Planes are becoming very popular due to the implementation of smaller and more powerful LiPo batteries and brushless motors.

Radio control planes and helicopters have become the perfect platform to enable anyone to dabble in the science and mystery of flight.
