| Workshop Chaos, My 15p Refund Rant & Jet Power FOMO | 15 Oct 2025 | 00:20:31 | |
In this episode, I’m back in the workshop giving an update on the Summit project and some big rework plans to make the space more efficient. I also share progress on my winter project – the GP76, and what’s coming next on the build front. Out at the field, it’s been a mixed bag: a negative snap canopy incident, some gyro aileron weirdness, and a few lessons learned the hard way. Online, I’ve been feeling serious Jet Power Germany FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), found myself ranting about a broken rubber band and a 15p refund, and noticed FTL are looking for new team pilots – interesting timing! 🎥 Links mentioned in this episode: 🔸 Summit 3 Playlist → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbCw2HkRPHsEEfztUU0W47rGxROgFx-E0 🔸 MAAD 2025 Playlist → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbCw2HkRPHsH-i_iQsc3q8lSDwwEaqYx0 🔸 JetPower - https://www.jetpower.de/en/ Grab a coffee, let’s catch up on all things RC – from workshop to flight line. | |||
