Thought I’d share a few photos of a project I’ve been working on for the past few months, a 3D printed 500 size SA-341 Gazelle. Vacuformed all of the canopy parts, and used a motor driven tail to replicate the look of the fenestron tail. Getting close to the maiden flight soon!

I hope your monetizing to watch infomercials pays off. It won't be me. Everybody tries to reach into wallets and frankly I am tired of it. I would rather donate money to the Planes of Fame museum or some other worthy endeavor.

The old man in me says the more u giv people ,, the more they want... nothin 4 nothin.. my old man taught me that...

I heard the comment, but it makes no sense. Why should we pay $1 per month to hear about products and see how everyone is flying and finishing their products.

Is the mission to become like the "Hobby store who's name shall not be mentioned" and not provide content, service, and support for everyone?

Hey man, James here. $1/month is the bare minimum YouTube lets you charge to open up fun emojis and things like that. I hope that is hardly a blip on anyone's wallet's and you can cancel it at any time and re-up at any time. We introduced that so that questions and comments would get highlighted easier in the live chat for when we got to that portion of the live show and during the big releases.

But the expectations we list for $1/month are

1. Loyalty Badges
2. Custom Emoji's
3. Member Shout-Outs
4. Priority Reply to comments

That's all that should be expected and I believe I delivered those and continue to do so. But I also did go beyond what was promised when I could with members' only lives and such. If we were going to offer more than that, I make a second or third-tier membership price where the expectations would be higher, but unlike some channels, I would want to be 100% certain I actually deliver on those promises. I know of RC channels with $20/month memberships that are only doing what we do for $1/month. That's crazy to me. $20/month is more than a premium streamer like Netflix and Disney and no RC channel is providing Star Wars or Marvel level content.

I would love to do more for member's but I am not sure what I can handle as being on YouTube is not my only job responsibility. I would never want to over promise and under deliver, I want to do the opposite.

But we will be back tomorrow Live and we can chat about it live. I will put this question out there.

What kind of content would you want if we introduced a $5/month membership level, $10/month? $20? What is fair?

Maybe the next show on February 4th can shed some further light on the issue.

Regardless, today I have one video I'm really excited about... I made this one some time ago but YT blocked it for copyright reasons. They have changed policies though, so it's now available to be seen, so I can finally share it with you folks!

Have a blast!

Well, I view it as being like HOG actually. If you ever get a Harley you are invited to join HOG (Harley Owners Group). The live shows are kinda the same. You can learn about the products you may be unaware of. You can share knowledge and customization of the products. With MRCs Live show you even get a chance to win a prize. Could be a Coffee Mug.. or could be one of the many products Motion has to offer. As far as the 'other guys' go.. it make no sense to me.
So to make sense of the comment for you. The two afore mentioned members had each won a nice EDF model on the final show of the season. I've been seeing their videos of said products as one (Tuckie) learns to fly his... and the other (Airgaurdian) flies his with amazing skills. I hope that helps clarify things for you.

[Ah's Availble]

Understandable.. I'm sure you and Tuckie were just way too excited at the time to catch it!
I've been enjoying both your's and Tuckie's videos of the prize birds since. Keep 'em coming!

And best Raptor flights so far! :p

[Airguardian]

Good to hear!


Here's some more MiG flying:

[BluesDragon]

About that... guess you must have missed this!

I did!.. and I love it!!

[Airguardian]

Keep 'em coming!

Your wishes are orders, sir!

"Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars..."

About that... guess you must have missed this!

[BluesDragon]

Well then, in the meantime... let's cheer up with another F-22 video!

Snagged this from your vid... as these lyrics ran through my mind.

"Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on a-Jupiter and Mars" ..Frank Sinatra

[BluesDragon]

Dang... must have missed that. :'(

He mentioned it near the end of the last Live Show.

Thanks for the heads up!

[QUOTE=Airguardian;n334855]Have the MRC Friday Live Shows been cancelled or what?


It's the what.. not cancelled. It's just been moved to far and few in-between. I believe James said it may change to members only, by member blast announcements, every once in a while. I could be wrong though. He mentioned it near the end of the last Live Show.

[Airguardian]

In the meantime... Raptor flights go on!

James ?

[Airguardian]

More Vulcan adventures, not as nerdy or well produced as the maiden video but funny in a way too ( :

AG. Quality production. Was there a moment where you began to break character in the opening sequence? Anyway, as a wise Starship Captain once said, "Most legends have their basis in fact." Bravo Zulu, Sir. Best, Steve

Thanks Elbee!
It had to be a 'blend of sorts'... still, acting isn't quite my area of expertise so plenty to learn! ;)
