Would you rather have one of each type of helicopter (nitro, gas or electric) or one of each size?

Listen in this week as the guys dive into a semi technical topic.

RCHN V 2.0 EP229: Voltage=Current x Resistance
This week is all about voltage. When it comes to voltage it can be tricky to understand the effects it can have on your heli. For example many of us know that when we go from 12s to 14s we are increasing the system voltage, but do we know what effect this is going to have on the esc and motor? Or can we can actually take advantage of a full 14s power system? Join Nick, Justin and Jessie this week as they geek out this technical topic. Unfortunately Dan is out again this week but we hope to have him back next week and find out what he has been up to.

For those of you have have been with us for a few years you know that each and every year we try to take it to another level and give back to the listeners as much as we can. Well in 2016 we want to keep that tradition going. At one point in time we were all new to this amazing hobby and there are so many words or acronyms that we would hear but have no idea what they meant, and this is where RCHN comes in. We want to create a giant glossary of terms that will incorporate everything from maneuvers to the acronyms used on the show. This is going to be a huge undertaking and we are looking to get as many people involved as we can. As we get started be on the lookout for a post on the RCHN website and Helifreak. Here’s to 2016!

RCHN V 2.0 EP217: It’s All About The Feel
Join Nick, Justin and Jessie this week as they spend some time answering a listener question about pitch. Pitch has such a large effect on how the helicopter flies it is definitely worth an entire show to discuss all the details. The guys cover the many ways you can adjust the pitch and how it feels. They talk about tuning the way pitch feels from both a FBL tuning and physical perspective. Remember that if you have a question you would like us to answer on the show you can send any recorded audio questions to questions@rchelination. If you choose to send it as an email just copy all the guys!

Join the guys this week as they look forward in to 2016. Last week was all about personal resolutions but this week the focus is on the heli industry and what 2016 might bring. The gang also listens back to the beginning of 2015 to review what they predicted would happen. Some of them hit the nail on the head while others couldn’t have been more wrong.

RCHN V 2.0 EP215: 2016 Is Here!
Well here it is the first show of 2016! In typical RCHN fashion this is our chance to reflect on 2015 and the goals that were made. Without giving everything away lets just say that some were much closer to completing their goals than others. In addition we will crown the new proud owner of a not so new scrotum trophy. Who is going to be stuck with it this year? Lastly the crew spends some time to look ahead at 2016 and set some new goals for the upcoming year. Enjoy!

Its just Dan and Justin this week, and its probably not to surprising that the AMA and FAA are the focus of this weeks show. We promise we will get to part II of Justin’s speed discussion soon.
