It has been said before, but this time it's for real. The Trash Can Telemaster is finished! It has been flown, by both Tom and Ron, and the problem that has plagued it from the beginning has been sorted out. Tune in to hear how the first flights went, and what was discovered about electronic ignitions.

Have you ever tried to remember what parts and pieces you need to fly one of your planes, but couldn't? Ron has. And he wants to know how to keep everything separate and organized. Tune in to hear some of the things Tom does to keep everything straight.
But before they get to that, the guys talk about flying with SAFE, Ron's new airplane, and control horns. Tom also talks about an expensive mistake he made while trying to run his 3 cylinder Saito.
