RC Podcasts & Electric RC aircraft

In case you have been living under a rock (apparently I was, at least in the world of Radio Control), there are some major things happening with electric aircraft, planes and helicopters in the last several years. Things have gotten a lot less expensive (I didn't say cheap). Batteries have gotten smaller and storage density continues to climb. Motors have gotten lighter and more powerful. To give you an idea, Scorpion is about to come out with an RC motor that will put out almost 7 hp. There are a couple of great podcasts if you want to learn about the current state of the art in RC. The first is Inside Heli and the second is All Things That Fly. You can down load them from iTunes for your iPod or MP3 player at no cost.
