Join us today if you feel like listening to an inspiring FPV adventure! 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 am interviewing an Italian Pilot living in Australia: Everest FPV. This episode is rather on the chill vibes side, as I get to know Serena more through her history with FPV, her favourite things to do in our hobby while discussing the pros and cons of living in Asutralia a FPV drone pilot. Join in for a relaxing, fun and entertaining conversation between two soon to be irl friends!

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. Tune in if this topic speaks to you and don't forget to share with your mates!

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 I am interviewing 3 members of Fly Tribe Magazine! What an exciting topic it is to start the year! If there was anything our wonderful hobby really needed, it was a way to document the evolution of our beloved drone racing and freestyle worlds. And this is what the women and men at Fly Tribe decided to create: a magazine made by pilots for pilots. In their own words "anyone can be featured on Fly Tribe. Everyone is part of Fly Tribe" I really hope you like this episode because I really enjoyed it myself! Happy new year, and happy listening!

In this episode, we answer a few questions that some of our loyal audience members had for us and Lexie reflects, with us, on the past 14 months of her life. In her own words: probably the hardest year she ever had to go through, but in fact, she overcame it for the better! If this episode's topic speaks to you feel free to share it with anyone who needs a little mood lift for the end of the year. Wishing you all the best to end 2023, and we'll see you on the new dawn of 2024!
