The T-28 Crash Wasn’t the End… Bouncing Back with BIG Projects!

[@Thercgeek]

The struggle was real in more ways than one, but we are bouncing back with some exciting news and an even bigger build...Let's do this! 😎 ▼Grab a copy of my NEW Painting & Finishing Book!▼ bit.ly/TRCGBook

[@jackcannon6725]

Bring back the 90mm Venom. You know anyone at Motion RC? Congratulations on the new gig. Awesome news!

[@MotionRC]

Been a pleasure to have you on board Chris, finally got that cat out of the bag! Cheers - James

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I’m excited to be working with the team! 😊

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Congrats on hooking up with motion. Some of the nicest plane's are from them. And i have many. May your future be bright and lucrative. Always watching brother. 😊​@Thercgeek

[@MrWagner528]

The Motion announcement is stellar!!!! Smart move on Motions part. Congrats Chris.

[@SuperGlenn1966]

Go FRSky. I just pulled the trigger on the X20RS. Solid radio. I have flown Futaba, JR and Spektrum. FRSky I believe is the future. Also for price point, you can’t beat it. Good luck Glenn

[@jlester42]

Same here. got the X20PRO AW, And loving it. And still learning different ways to set things up. Like it so much I also got the X18SE as a backup/trainer. Still converting around 140 planes from Spektrum; DX20 and IX20SE.

[@JoshuaOrchard]

This is a wonderful update, not just for you, but for the entire modeling community. Best of luck at Motion!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks! I'm excited to be able to contribute to the industry. 😊

[@NotAnotherG]

Congrats on the new job !

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man!!

[@CalebT_RC]

I’m excited to see what motion brings out since you’ll be there with him. Congrats man!

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you!

[@JohnVHRC]

Ive been looking at the FRSKY also, way better range, like by miles! Buddy has one, and I like the feel, programming is odd though.

[@reckemroysrc3764]

I'm sticking with what's been working. Spectrum till failure. 😅

[@Thercgeek]

@reckemroysrc3764 😆

[@Thercgeek]

@JohnVHRC yeah, the programming is odd indeed. Took me days to program my first model 🤣

[@SONICBOOM-117]

Sooo crazy I commented the other day saying you should be a product designer for an rc company. I’m so thrilled for you man. Congratulations. They need someone like you.

[@mountainr.c.]

Dude your channel keeps me so excited. I have refinished some amazing aircraft from your methods and I can wait to see what is next! Keep it up man! Congrats on the Motion RC gig!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it! 😊

[@biggnasty989]

Bro, huge respect for you and your work. I've purchased from you before as well. But why don't you go ELRS? I know you'll have to run a stand alone gyro, but ELRS is dummy proof. Single receiver, can fly on as little as 10mw power for as far as you can see (I fly on 250mw). I know asking you to change to a new system might not work due to how far Spektrum has their tentacles in most of the pilots of our hobby. I've only been flying for 7 months, but I've come extremely far in a short amount of time, maybe you read this, maybe you don't, but know that I wouldn't tell you this if I didn't care. Keep pushing bro! And congratulations for your new roll with Motion. Push them hard on dropping that 80mm F-35, lol.

[@AntoinneBarnes]

wow congrats man!!!! i'm happy for you and happy to see motionrc growing!!!

[@ljhobbylife]

Went through something similar this year with a silly cub! But like you said find the passion again and keep having fun in this great hobby!

[@Thercgeek]

💯 Keep on flying! 😊

[@RDM-RC]

I agree it has happened to me when filming for my channel! The hard lessons are part of the experience and an opportunity to grow and learn from the experience! Thank you for being a consistent inspiration and one of the best part of the Hobby!!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man!

[@tsniii3452]

Congratulations, Chris, on the relationship with motion RC. I love your content. I have been out of the hobby for the last 5 years after wrecking my 5th scale D7. I started to think about building again this past Christmas. I can't wait to see that D9 build one of my favorite WW2 planes

[@cessnafly9841]

Congrats on everything. Your channel is awesome. Thanks for sharing the updates.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I'm stoked about what's coming

[@airhammer6203]

Congrats on the new gig at MRC, Chris!! Your channel is gonna be a fun ride for us, hopefully for you too (not that it wasn't before :). Nice to hear that the Trojan will be back n better. The Panther is going to be a cool one, I know Brent is modding his as well. Keep the air under ya and the ground far below ya, AirHammer out!!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I'm really looking forward to all of it. Brent and I have been comparing notes and sharing ideas on the panther, should be pretty fun little model when it’s all done.

[@flyboywbl]

Oh hell yes! Welcome back. Happy new year

[@Airsally]

Congratulations, Chris . I'm happy to hear you're teamed with motion. I can't wait to see your future builds. Hopefully you can covince them to change the formulation on the plastic for their retract cases. I see they have upgraded the pin diameter of their 90* rotating retracts. Good stuff on your chn. The detail on the D9 is amazing.

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Great to see ya Chris!! You will succeed in all you do buddy due to your passion for this hobby. Best wishes from us here @Jeff’s Custom RC.

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Amen Jeff. You are an inspiration to Jeff. Don't forget it. 😊

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I appreciate the support!

[@Thercgeek]

@reckemroysrc3764 🤣

[@steveniezgoda4941]

Congratulations on the position with Motion RC! Love your videos and I’m glad you will still be doing them. Looking forward to the next build.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it.

[@paulbroyles1996]

I look forward seeing you discussing your new job at Motion RC. Looks like you are getting back on track with the hobby. Can’t wait to see some of the new projects come to fruition. Congrats again Chris,,,keep up the good work!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks a lot! I’m looking forward to showing you what we’re working on!

[@scottiestorey3404]

thats great ...chris i am glad to hear you are back better than ever ....you are one of the main reasons i got into the hobby...also glad to hear you are working with motion ...please help them find their way to making a v 2 f 14 ...thanks for all the great content

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much man, I appreciate the kind words! There’s lots of fun stuff in the works at Motion that I hope you’ll enjoy. 😊

[@GordonFenley]

Awesome Chris! Congrats on the new opportunity with Motion! Looking forward to following along with the 2025 projects...and a big thanks for what you do for this hobby!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man, I'm super excited about it all!

[@RCnurse]

Congratulations! I'm super excited for you and for myself to see more videos and releases from MRC!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks! Lots of fun stuff in the works. 😊

Congrats Chris!

[@corsairsmitty9691]

Great to hear that you are with Motion now ! Good luck on all of your journeys.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to what the future holds!

[@ericsacco7406]

Awesome Chris time for the SisT 190 yes!!! I’m gonna get mine back in the air also!!

[@HighDesertFlyers]

Congratulations .. Chris Thanks for sticking around and being part of this hobby ..

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@iTickle88]

Fantastic update Chris!! First, congrats on the new gig!! Motion is lucky to have you! Second, what an emotional rollercoaster last year was... both the highs and the lows. Thank you so much for sharing these experiences and letting us ride along for all of it. Those of us that follow you felt every bit of it. Really looking forward to seeing what you do with the FW-190!!! All the best in 2025 and I can't wait to continue watching your journey! :)

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you're riding along with me! 😊

[@davidsnyder238]

Nothing to say aside from congrats my friend and I'm excited and happy for you!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man!

[@FixandFlyRC-l6r]

Really excited to see someone with your expertise at Motion.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks!

[@benandrus]

Congrats Chris, onward and upward!

[@Thercgeek]

I appreciate it man, I'm excited about the future!

[@ismaelsouza21]

Great to see you again!! Greetings from Brazil

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks for the support!

[@alexgonzales1855]

Congrats. This year I’ve started working on refinishing and upgrading an eflite fj-4 kit.

[@Thercgeek]

Nice! That’s a great project to take on.

[@curtisvonderlippe]

Glad to hear about all the good news. I started getting back into this hobby this past year, and I really enjoy your content. You have taught me a lot. Can't wait to see the 190 project, the fw 190 is my favorite airplane. Will be watching for more.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks, I really appreciate you saying that!

[@velojayf]

Congratulations on joining Motion RC. Since I like my planes to have their fan on the front, I am looking forward to the D-9 build.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks, I am really looking forward to getting that one done, too!

[@David-mz3or]

BRAVO 🎉 Back in the saddle again full of enthusiasm . The entire RC community missed you. 🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🫵🏼

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much!

[@jamesbrown7758]

So glad to hear you’re feeling well again! That’s exciting news with motion. I’ve been inspired by you and your channel for nearly a decade. You are so right about the journey and not the destination! Everybody experiences failures at some point in life. We can learn and grow from it, or allow our selves to be defeated. I consider you an ambassador to the hobby and am grateful for everything you have contributed to the hobby over the years. The content on your channel is encouraging, motivating, and helps us all win at the field.

[@Thercgeek]

Wow, thanks man! I can’t thank you enough for your kind support. We need to go flying one of these days. 😊

[@jamesbrown7758]

@ Absolutely!👍🏼

[@DadsRCHangar]

That’s brilliant news Chris, will be great to see you with Motion RC. Congrats 🫡

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you! 😊

[@johnhalligan2530]

Awesome update Chris! Great to see the excitement with the new projects that are on the board and look forward to watching their progress. Keep up the great work and always a pleasure learning from you, thank you.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I’m getting pretty hyped about all of it. 😊

[@PaulDalansky]

Congrats on the job and on the bounce back.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much!

[@johnw5734]

Awesome, you're with Motion. I am a patron as are many of my fellow flyers.

[@Thercgeek]

Appreciate the support man, it means a lot!

[@daysdesigns]

CONGRATS TO YOU!

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you! 😊

[@gerardkessels5052]

Keep going chris you are doing a great job with your open en honest revieuws and the lessons you learned. Inspiring.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks, will do!

[@terryperrott9913]

Congratulations on being part of the team of Motion RC

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you!

[@terryperrott9913]

@Thercgeek you're welcome

[@aidengriffen]

Chris, So happy to see you back !! Congrats on the Motion RC gig! You have one of the best R/C channels out there!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it!

[@SPSteve]

I've been out of RC for 20+ years. I participated in Scale Masters competition for 4 years and I have a love for the FW190D9/11/13. Even though I've been out of RC aircraft for a long time I look forward to watching the FW190D build. I hope you build it to competition standards.

[@Thercgeek]

That is definitely the goal. 😊

[@johntartaro2509]

Congrats Chris, I’m a long time RC modeler / enthusiast and I really enjoy you channel and the realism you bring to your projects. I’m looking forward to the F9F Panther project you will be doing since I had been a long time (45yrs) employee of Grumman, now Northrop Grumman. One project I would like to see you do, which I have not seen anyone build nor does any RC hobby company market it, is the Grumman E-2D Hawkeye. Hopefully you will consider it in the future. Keep’em Flying…

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I'm pretty hyped about that Panther project, I love all the Grumman cats and the panther is such a classic.

[@cletusberkeley9441]

FrSky Tandem is awesome! ....got into it with the X20S coming from JR 12X now upgrading to the X20pro AW. Yes the learning curve is steep, but then it clicks and there's that Ethos "ah ha" moment😂

[@michaelbuchreitz4927]

Congrats Chris. Great news having you as categori manager at Motion RC.🎉😊

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you! 😊

[@jetjacko]

Chris, all great news. Go for it

[@robertgribbin6444]

Wow, cool news, I'm Happy for you. Can't wait to see more of your endeavors, Cheers

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much!

[@thomasfluckiger750]

Honestly go with jeti lots of telemetry modules and easy learning curve😁 I like Spektrum and still have one but jeti has convinced me 100% with all the telemetry expansions.

[@leeliddle7021]

Love the channel. I'm very excited about the 190 Dora! Probably my favorite warbird. Congrats on joining Motion. They're a class company. Best of luck in '25. I'll be watching.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man, I appreciate the support!

[@boss2234]

I seen the same kind of failure at our field in a big build last year almost the same look to the receiver failure, that you experienced.

[@stephenthomas2311]

Congrats and best to you and yours on this new part of life.

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you!

[@HighStartAeronautics]

That is great, congrats!

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you!

[@FixandFlyRC-l6r]

Chris, you asked for a recommendation. My Dad is a Korean War vet now 92. He loves watching us fly and I have been searching for a Lockheed Martin PV-2 which is the plane her served on during the war. Or if you have any leads on a model or kit. Glad to see you back on the ole KZbin.

[@Thercgeek]

The PV-2 is a rare one, not sure I’ve come across one or plans. I’ll have to do some research.

[@FixandFlyRC-l6r]

@ thanks man. I know it’s a big ask.

[@txkflier]

Congratulations on joining Motion RC. I buy most of my planes from them. I've looked at the FrSky X18, but since I mostly fly Spektrum AS3X/SAFE receivers and have the iX14, I can't justify switching. I also have a RadioMaster TX16S with ELRS for the FPV stuff, so I have most of the bases covered.

[@Thercgeek]

I hear you, changing radio systems is kind of the worst. No sense in switching if your current setup is working.

[@philb1167]

Keep up the content! I appreciate your comments and always learn something. And it's ok to fail every now and then, that is, as you say, how you learn.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks for the support, and yes, failing is a key part of the learning process!

[@jaykuster1099]

Awesome, Chris!! I'm so happy for you being at Motion!!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man, Me too!!

[@scotabot7826]

Great talk Chris! Everything you said is so, so true my friend!! Hang in there, you will succeed as always!! What great news about you joining Motion! That's wonderful as you'll be a great addition!! That beautiful Dora will fly like a pattern plane.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much man, I appreciate the encouragement!

[@chrisjohns4817]

Congrats,awesome shirt.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks! 😆

[@victorrcjets7660]

Bouncing back seems to be always hard but that is part of the challenge. Miss hanging out with You😊 Hopefully we can fly together again soon 😊 good luck with 2025😊

[@markdavis7397]

Congrats on your new venture! Should be fun. I also recently acquired a FrSky (X20 Pro AW). 2.4GHZ is full of fixed point-to-point links which can legally transmit hotter, so I wanted to try dual-band for safety/redundancy on bigger planes. I like a lot of things about it, but the downside is that it takes some work.

[@letato1354]

Congrats Chris! Hope that under your guidance Motion RC will come up with exciting new jet models like the F-111 Aardvark, Saab Viggen, and/or L-29 Delfin!

[@BP_Aviation]

FrSky for the win! Switched two seasons ago and am not regretting at all. Great radio once you get familiar with the system.

[@williamhammond3998]

Congratulations! I think MRC will only get better with you on the team! Also, welcome to the dark side, you're going to love the X20 transmitter!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it!

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Congrats on the motion rc gig. Will you be working with James and Wes or are you takin over as a new face for them. It will be great to see you there. As for the T 28. My modow is CHECKEM BEFORE YOU RECKEM. Life goes on. Glad you are feeling better and coming back swinging. 😊

[@Thercgeek]

Wes and James aren’t going anywhere.😊 I’m actually working more on the back end doing new product design and development. I oversee the entire air and heli product lines which includes all existing and new products.

[@jcb6713]

all the best 😎👍👍

[@flyboywbl]

Dude get on the FRsky bandwagon!! It's so sweet. It takes a good two weeks and you'll love it. It's so powerful. I run tandem on all my models now

[@tobiasjarpner1036]

Congrats! I'm happy that you have gotten yourself through the sad times. After a few crashes of my own last season I just picked up a RCFactory big Yak (1m) that is not really my thing, but having something so ugly (and not expensive) to fly and the extreme ease of repair if there is any damage makes my flying experience so much more enjoyable when bouncing back from self-doubt. Not standing there with my knees shaking and just throwing it around is a very nice change for a while and also building my confidence back up. Looking forward to keep follow you with your enthusiasm and amazing builds. Take care! Oh, and look into getting a radio with EdgeTX and ELRS, that's definitely the tip of the spear in RC-technology.

[@nauttyuk]

T-28 crash = normal Spectrum stuff, I assume

[@DeWayneLong]

Chris, congratulations on your new position with Motion RC! I'm looking forward to gaining insight and learning from new projects you work on with Motion in 2025. They're my favorite vendor offering great flying planes. I look forward to your FW-190 build, which will be an awesome addition to your hangar. Lastly, enjoyed your overall perspective of our RC hobby wins and losses and how to persevere in the end.

[@Thercgeek]

I appreciate the kind words. I’m hoping the FW-190 will be a good one! 😊

[@briankeirns9936]

Really happy and excited for you and your new position with MotionRC. I love watching your content and really looking forward to seeing what you do with the long nosed Dora. Congrats Chris! Well deserved

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! I’m getting pretty stoked about it.

[@jabe5895]

Bring back the B-58 Hustler!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ATCDave1]

Great video Chris! Congrats on the position at Motion - good for you! I can't wait to see that Dora come to life!!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! It’s gonna be a fun project.

[@michaelpeck8677]

Congratulation on your Motion announcement. I'm hoping and honestly think it will be a good fit. As for future projects maybe you could talk Motion and Freewing into revamping the Mosquito into a 1.6m and /or introducing a 1.6 m F4F Wildcat.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man!

[@5280Recreation]

Good for you mate. Appreciate the contribution to the hobby. Yea crashes hurt pride almost as much as they hurt foam and balsa 😂. Good for you on taking responsibility. That’s the only way we learn.

[@The727Flyer]

Hi Master! Congrats on the Motion RC anouncement. I hope you work with the European branch of Motion also. Apart from that, I am still waiting for your B-58 Hustler V2. I know you recovered almost nothing but that plane deserves to by rebuilt. If not, a Boeing 727 or a Vickers Super VC-10 would make me forget the Hustler. Anyway, keep making planes and we will be happy.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man!

[@fedesilvi6965]

x20 is the best radio

[@prestonkizer9618]

Congratulations on your new job with Motion! Hopefully you will have some input on new planes coming especially Warbirds and jets. You are a great modeler and hopefully Motion will listen to your thoughts on new planes coming and everything will be great. Keep the Builds coming nothing like your scale details and painting. Motion needs a F-4D Skyray in 80 mm hint hint. They have been produced years ago by Some hobby supplier in California and you probably remember it. It was a foamy but didn’t have retracts. Suggest one just like yours with a couple of different Liverys to pick from. Good luck and Great Flying !

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks! I have been knee deep in the design and development of new products from day 1. It’s been fun, lots of cool stuff in the works. 😊

[@geokeps.]

Hi Chris. Good to see you are well and have bounced back from your Trojan mishap. Really looking forward to what you have install for 2025. I don't do RC at all but I really do like your channel. Cheers. George from the land down under.

[@Thercgeek]

Cheers! I appreciate that.

[@texnikvova]

Congrats on your new journey my friend. it was nice to see you again. Will look forward to following you in the year of 2025. Cheers from Tennessee.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks! I'm excited about this new chapter.

[@alanshearing7515]

Happy New Year Chris 🎉. 2025 will be a great year. Good to see positive vibes. Looking forward to your coming projects the FW looks like a great start. CU soon .

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man! Lots to come!😊

[@ericmaglio]

Hey Chris - once you work through your project backlog, I could certainly use your help giving my F-35B VTOL a nice scale treatment 😎

[@Thercgeek]

Sounds like a plan! I’m happy to help however I can. 😊

[@frank-vq4mx]

FrSky ? Motion R.C? That should piss off Horizon!

[@Thercgeek]

😆

[@rperry70]

This is a perfect example of a radio needing a crutch like satellites, illustrating that it is an inferior system. I never have and never will use a system that requires satellites. I have recently moved on to FrSky and I love it so far. The benefit is there is a ton of content for specific set ups, as the radios are so popular. We have been seeing interference issues on 2.4 so the tandem band of 900 mhz. and 2.4 is getting to be more important.

[@g33kfly]

FrSky is the future!

[@flyingwithdon]

As a hybrid pincher I am having trouble getting used to the FrSky. Great system though.

[@Thercgeek]

Yeah, that’s kind of where I’m at.

[@flyingwithdon]

@ That’s one thing I like about the Spektrum tx’s and probably why I will stay with it for now. I’ve had a bind issue on initial start up but so far no problems in the air fortunately. Love your content!

[@kirkwheeler5442]

Having flown rc for 40 years. Im into large WW2 birds, CARF, Meister etc. What ive learned is that all RC planes have a birth date and a death certificate. You know the date of the first

[@Thercgeek]

Yep, true story!

[@richardhensley8281]

What’s your opinion on the NX10?

[@CNSFX]

Oh man I had that model and sold it! I regret that one!! I still have the SisT A8 and will build that one with a Saito FG75 R5. What kind of power will you use on the D9 build Chris? 🎉

[@Thercgeek]

Cool you still have the A8! Due to the small cowl size, not sure gas is much of an option without having to jack up the cowl. So, will probably be electric to maintain the cowl integrity and looks.

[@CheifyRC]

Congratulations Chris. MotionRC must be over the moon gaining your services. Bit of no brainer for them with your skills and experience. Looking forward to that. 🤛🤩 nice new flightline Lancaster or a mossy or big p40 would be awesome. 🤩😂 T28 video was hard watch and I think anyone watching that video felt absolutely gutted for you. I use both spektrum and the FrSky radios. Once you get your head around programming the frsky you’ll be fine. Like you I really like the diversity and twin protocols with 2.4 and 900mhz for redundancy. I use it to guide a giant Heinkel He111 but I still use my Spektrum tx for DP models and most of my warbirds, I also find spektrum gear great for buddying up people and forward programming at the field is awesome. Any ways love the videos. Looking forward to watching your journey unfold in 2025. Happy flying fella.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks man, I appreciate your perspective on the radios

[@kirkwheeler5442]

A DA inline 100 is a good fit for the FW190D. If not the zdz 97 is also great. I have the zdz in my meister FW190D

[@Thercgeek]

Yeah, those are both excellent choices, but they won’t fit in the cowl without cutting it up. I have a really hard time cutting up a cowl for engine cylinders. We’ll see

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Chris, i really appreciate you expressing the emotional side of your journey through this amazing hobby. I've only been involved for a couple of years. But, i can relate to all of the highs and lows you refer to. I even tried my hand at posting content. It was just too dang hard. At the end of the day, all we have is our health, our loved ones and memories- good and bad (oh, and debt😊). I'm sure i dont need to tell you, but the lessons im most grateful for are the absolute toughest ones I've lived through. Didn't kill me-made me stronger. That said, i cant bring myself to rewatch the T28 video. Too traumatic. 😊 Anyway, thanks for opening up to us. You've got a lot of folks pullin' for ya, Chris. Probably more than you know 👍

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks for the encouragement man, I really appreciate it! You are absolutely right, all the truly matters is our health, loved ones and memories. 😊

[@moochasas]

Yeap, like life your have your highs and lows... they say crashing is part of the hobby and that is true but what they don't say is that its devastating when it happens especially when its a model that has taken time to put together.... I too have have some "disagreements" with some of my larger models and I have always found the strength to rebuild them which I find very therapeutic and it makes you a better builder and you can experiment with mods and upgrades and it spirals up from there.... we all have had those why did I do that or not see that or test that when the time comes to the actual flight......... that is why I film all my flights (plus ones at the clubs) so others can see whats good and bad and hopefully learn from it..... if you want to see some aussie flying vids please feel free to have a laugh at my channel.... its a good cure for insomnia... and congrats on the team position...... take care and stay safe.... greetings from down under.
