Parkflyer Podcast

This week Derek Micko joins us on the podcast. We met Derek at the J-MEFF event and found he designs and builds micro electric flyers. Derek prints the details of his creations on tissue paper and applies them to the build up model to create amazing projects that look and fly incredible. Join us this week as he takes us through this process and how it all comes together.

This week Shannon and AZ Mike were in attendance at 20th year of John Morgan Electric Fun Fly (J-MEFF) in sunny St George, UT.  Both of them agree that it is one of the prettiest fields they have flown.  The event was amazing and there were some very awesome builds and pilots.  Some of the scratch built planes were in a class all by themselves and it was truly a pleasure to see them all.  Join us this week as we discuss our friends and fun at the event and we look forward to attending again next year.
