Tom is home and back in the studio with Ron and Dave—but only for this episode during his brief visit. Tom’s wife, Lori, briefly joins the conversation. Dave shares a personal update, Ron recaps the Illini Jets event, and the guys discuss the Skynetic F-35C Micro EDF and upcoming Illinois RC events. Ron and Tom recount their visit to Dynamic Balsa, where Ron came home with an unidentified vintage glow-powered airplane. The episode closes with an important reminder to inspect aging nylon clevises, snapper keepers, and other plastic control-linkage components.
