Summary
The Flite Test crew hit the legendary Toledo R/C Swap Meet & Expo and came home with stories, hidden gems, questionable purchases, and plenty of RC chaos. From rare airplanes and vintage radios to giant gas planes, insane deals, and the weirdest things we found buried on swap tables, this episode dives deep into one of the biggest RC events in the country.
We talk behind-the-scenes moments from the show floor, the people that make the RC community awesome, unforgettable encounters, and the thrill of hunting for that perfect airplane part you definitely don't need… but somehow end up buying anyway.
If you love RC airplanes, Flite Test, swap meets, giant scale aircraft, DIY aviation, foam board builds, model airplanes, or just hearing crazy hobby stories, this episode is for you.
