[@Bucketheadzie]

Awesome interview. My favorite so far.

[@waynemiller6070]

Thanks guys. Very good.

[@moochasas]

Its a shame that guys like Ben dont do some videos about the subjects he was talking about... being an engineer myself but not in the aerospace world it would be nice to explore more of those engineering factors he mentioned.... great video again mate, you knocked this one out the park........ stay safe....... greetings from down under.

Great interview Juan. Ben has so many interesting insights into this great hobby. We're all tool junkies, eh? (Amateur tip on round X-acto knives: zip tie on end of the handle - no rolling off the bench!)

[@markwest759]

Very honest and informative perspective on the design and performance side of the hobby. The comments on a Carden airplane compared to today's ARF xa airplane really opened my eyes. Was a real history lesson into the evolution of hi performance freestyle planes.

What a great interview Juan. Mr. Fisher was fascinating to listen to and he obviously has a great passion for what he does. It makes me feel very confident spending money on extreme flight products. Thanks.

Thanks for this! Fun to hear about Scott Stoops!! I have Scott's book somewhere... I want my old 68" Yak in Chris's old scheme...

[@billclark5943]

People can claim to be knowledgable in this discipline or that, but I always listen to the ones with years of practical experience. Nothing trumps the time spent refining theory. Ben probably has one of the highest levels of practical experience in the industry. Also, I think the explanation of which aircraft suits which type of pilot deserves a dedicated page on the EF website.

[@chrisrandall909]

Can't wait to see what the 2 hidden projects will be. Ben needed more reflective glasses!!

[@danb7207]

My all time favorite plane was the 3DHS 50cc Scott Stoops Extra SHP

[@weshillsberry6275]

Im in the cult!!!! Long live the turbo raven!!! And the bushmaster all hail Cody Wojack!!!

[@zackriden79]

i have a new 104 red lazer in the box need to get it in the air I love the 67 lazer its more agress then then 260 just like Ben is talking bout

[@anupamdasrc6970]

Gonna be hard to top this one Juan. Mabey interview Tyler Perry next?

[@weshillsberry6275]

I would love to see a juan sanchez review on the 88" electric turbo raven!! Maybe im biased and in the cult but in my opinion it really is the best plane ever made
