We had an amazing opportunity to hang out with Charpu, Tim Nilson, Andy Graber and Fred Provost (FlyingMonkey) in Florida near the main offices of GetFPV. So the natural course of action was to open up and share the discussion with you for the podcast!

We talk shop with Charpu about how he got started flying and the what the secret is to  become such a gifted RC FPV pilot in under a year.

We also talk to Tim and Andy about how they got their start in the hobby and the humble origions of their now massively successful business. With the lighting speed that the multirotor industry is advancing it is very interesting to look back at where it's come from and what the very exciting future holds.

We decided is was defintely time to have an interview with someone from DJI!  We recently released our very first review of a DJI product, the Inspire. Also with the very recent press release from DJI regarding the flying restriction of sesitive areas such as Washington DC, expanded airport protection etc, we thought this would be a perfect time to have someone from DJI on the show. 

We want to give a big thanks to Eric Cheng for spending over an hour chatting with us. Eric is the Director of Aerial Imaging and is the General Manager of the DJI San Francisco office.

Today we talk to Daniel Riley from the YouTube channel "RC Test Flight". We've always enjoyed Daniel's awesome videos and fun projects. He is certainly a DIYer after our own hearts and so he was kind enough to join us for an interview. Enjoy!
