In this episode we are welcoming an old friend of the podcast Steddie FPV!
And here we went on an hour of talking about his move from Australia to the USA two years ago and what this life milestone made him realise about our FPV hobby.
My friend is quite humble so I had to ask a few questions about his views on his flying, the frame he redesigned to his own needs and his journey overall, but we got there and we had a great time!

In this episode, I'm interviewing Bruce Simpson from Xjet and Model RC Review. Of course we went on a rant, but we also got to talk about his long experience with Model Aircrafts. Additionally, I was interested in learning more about Bruce himself, about his life and his mindset towards life, the health challenges he mentioned some years ago and how he is managing them currently.
Overall this episode helped to get to know one of the most well-known characters in RC aircrafts and drones and one of the first RC channels I knew of when I started my FPV journey.
So if like me, you're curious about Bruce, join us today for our 60th episode on this podcast!
In this episode I'm interviewing Botgrinder on one of the latest topics he touched on in his own videos: What the heck happened to FPV, or, as I asked myself, Why is everyone SO MAD at FPV right now?
While going back through the main 3 points he detailed in his video content, we also discussed further points including whether and how the hobby can find a way to get back to its roots, while allowing evolution and change to happen in our community.

Join me in this energetic and motivating conversation with my friend Christina Vithoulkas, to hear about her recovery story in motorsport. In this episode we talked about how she transitioned from dirt bikes to drift cars after her injury, throughout a few tangents - of course - including motivation to get things done and not letting life getting in the way of your plans!
A very valuable lesson for anyone out there, including FPV Pilots!
In this episode, join me in a candid and no-holds-barred conversation with my friend and renowned Swiss FPV Pilot, Black Bird FPV.
Black Bird FPV lays bare the realities of the FPV drone world, diving into the nuances of drone tuning, while sharing insights on navigating the sponsorship landscape, and offering unfiltered advice for enthusiasts and aspiring pilots. This conversation was sometimes bordering on the edge of bluntness, due to both of our French language background, but always grounded in authenticity and kindness at heart.

Join me as I interview Radar Kane, one of the earliest drone pilot to fly commercially in Australia.
Through this interview, we learn more about Radar's earliest stages in the RC world and how he was able to convert his knowledge of RC helicopters to become a professional pilot on film sets and in the car advertisement scene.
As the industry evolves, Radar is following it closely. FPV brought to him a new fire, a new passion for flying, which we also discuss in the second part of this episode.

In this one, we are closing the series on HD systems (for now!) by discussing some ethical concerns about HD and FPV systems in general.
Amongst new regulations showing up, how can we as a community make things better and liveable for pilots out there? What is best to do, what is best not to do, not only with choosing what we fit in our drones, but also, with our pilot's way of life in general.
