Ep 216: Tom’s Home for One Episode—and Ron Bought a Nitro Plane?!

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.
