I feel you at the end there Kev. I had a local shop/track that ultimately went out of business simply because they were not welcoming at all and you were a burden to them if you were new to the hobby and didn't know everything already. This hobby is all about fun and bringing more and more people to enjoy it not a little exclusive club that is overly competitive/serious!
wow big sad ;v;
Had the same happen to me at a local shop/track, life’s too short to give them any energy
There are always one or two that are way too competitive at my local RC racing club too, I just laugh it off, it’s all you can do, but it’s definitely hard on kids who get sworn at etc
I'm in Gulfport, and the field here closed a few years ago for the same reason. I went one time saw how they treated me and another guy with helicopters like myself and we both left and went to the beach to fly in peace. Less then a year later it closed down. Good riddance.
@@AdamB8791 No doubt competitive is fine as long as its not ruining the fun right!
When you said about us being men, playing with toy cars, I was nodding along in agreement. I'm 41 and got my first RC car in years because of your videos. Couldn't give a crap what anyone says.......it's soooooooo much fun! Keep doing what you're doing. Cheers, dude.
Me to now got 3 lol😂
I foufound this channel by accident. I've not been into RC since my 30's. I had my first RC car in 1978. Your assertion that clubs are basically full off nobs is spot on. It's why I fell out of love with the hobby. Having seen your approach and enthusiasm, I'm thinking of buying a Tamiya kit and smashing it round the car park at work and ignoring the fact that I'm a 55 Yr old manopausal stroke survivor. Epic channel. Thanks Kevin.
Dave ya Carter. Go for it. O bought a Tamiya Grasshopper, my first car since the mid 80s. Shoved a bigger motor on it. It's great fun in car parks and on the road. It handles comically bad - that's the appeal of it. Once you've replaced the broken bodyshell you spent ages getting to look nice, it sits on the shelf nicely and looks lovely. It won't go "to the moon", but it's worth every penny with a brushed motor and cheapy NiMH battery. Enjoy.
Did the same here.. I like the mechanical aspect as well as the driving part, and it is cheaper than real cars, full size that is :)
@@theelmgren Trying to tame it is addictive and very satisfying when it's mastered. There's a gravel oval bike racing circuit near me and I take it there - always get surrounded by kids who live spinning it round in circles. I race GT12 cars - they are about precision and performance, and only run on special "carpet" track or very clean smooth tarmac but the Grasshopper is so much fun . I have another I built just for the art of it and have it sitting in the cupboard. It's clocked about a minute of driving and is purely just for gawking at.
It depends what you mean by fun. These guys all have $10k aircraft and don't need a guy with money dive bombing the ground lighting fields on fire getting their club shut down coz he's having fun
no offence agains autistm, but the "a-level" in these sorts of clubs are probably high.. :)
Love how Kev is able to infuse a lasting life lesson into a fun, enjoyable video, balancing the fun and the serious advice all in twelve minutes better than some CZcamsrs do in five hour vids
I appreciate that!
@@KevinTalbotTV Kev you should start your own club
NO FUN SPONGES
Get em
Well said, Kev.
I’ve probably been one of those annoying party poopers, telling people they shouldn’t goof around and take their hobbies seriously.
It’s kind of sad because I ruined fun for others and even for myself.
Took me a while to understand that it is totally OK to do something just for the fun of it, and not straining myself to get better at it and taking it way too serious.
props for acknowledging and still being open to learn your lessons in life!
I think we all have but maybe its fewer of us who selfreflects .. respect!
Well, that's the thing about everything: some take it way too seriously and some not at all. It depends on where your passion lies and your state of mind on the subject. I run into people in my biz (woodworking) that protect their knowledge like the crown jewels where I on the other hand, will spend hours talking to a newb about how to do things. I've had a dozen people say to me over the past few years "You should teach this".
Best to avoid people who take it too seriously.
@@muskokamike127Yeah I don't like people like that, its always good to share knowledge and bounce ideas of eachother. You might ending up changing someone's life and someone might change yours.
@@TheStressD exactly. Hoarding knowledge or experience is a weakling's game.
Another one is trying something different. I also hate people who refuse to try to do something different. I will ALWAYS at least listen to someone else's idea then decide for myself if it works better or not.
Great rant, and I totally agree with you.
I hold several CAA Operational Authorisations (and a member of the BMFA) and still have the "know-it-alls" telling me that I'm "not allowed to do that" or they think my hobbies are dangerous to the public.
I take my RC hobby seriously, but only when that comes to the mitigations I self-enforce.... after that - it's just all fun.
Ignore the haters and the profiteers - just have fun (until the game is over!). We are only here once.
PS: Good luck with the move.
Thank you for saying it Kev!! I am into crawlers and the crawler crowd does not care. We see it a bit at the crawler “comps” (which I’ve mostly stopped going to) where people are persnickety and take the fun out of it. But like, dude, we are grown men and women playing with toys. Who cares if your tire is .05” too big for regulation???? WHY DOES A “REGULATION” EVEN EXIST? Lol. I’ll never understand those people.
I’m also in full size Jeep crawling clubs and NO ONE is like that there, just like with your aero plane comparison. Glad to have folks like you promoting to just get out and have fun!
No need for rules if you are not in a competition, obviously...
What a stupid take.
A regulation exists so you don't bring a 1/2 scale rc to a 1/10 scale competition and ruin it for everyone. If you want to go bash around, go bash around. Don't join a competition. It's pretty straightforward
I like how slow they can go, nice low wing loading AND a functional jet engine...too cool, the thrust vectoring was a nice touch!
Damn, Kev, you're 100% right about RC clubs - we have the same problem here in Poland, and instead of a bunch of crazy friends with toys, there's a bunch of frustrated people ready to insult you...
I'm not sure people that spend 10
Grand on an aircraft want to be "crazy" or consider them toys. It's about respect.
It is still a toy. They are not using it for transportation and you can’t ride inside of it, therefore it is an expensive remote controlled toy. Respect what
@@billyocean9236 respect for their really expensive hobby club that they like to take serious
@@billyocean9236not sure about the UK, but once a RC plane/drone/heli gets over 250g in the US it isn't a toy anymore and instead legally an aircraft with all the regulation and licensing to go with it.
Kev, it's not a house you should be looking for in the Isle of Man. It's a hangar you should be looking for! 😂
bravo to your unabashed blunt and personal comments. Amen on we are adult men going about childish toy things and trying to make them seem like they’re far more important than they are. It’s a fun hobby! HOBBY, no one is saving lives or putting out fires or stopping crime, it’s a hobby.
I agree some people take the hobby to seriously I mean just have fun it’s not about the competition all of the time. The upload schedule still very good!!!
Feel that with some tracks nera me that people that are racing competitive every time they set out the car it need to go faster then the previous runn and it get to the point that like me and others that dont run often on those tracks try to learn it and most of the time feel we are in the way of the pro racers becaus they get upset its slower drivers on the track.
Great vid, as usual, you save the best bit to the end. Your analysis of the clubs is so informative. I've only been to one club to see what it was all about, wouldn't let me in without paying. Put me off, never been back or brought a real RC car. I just really enjoy all the fun you have, that's enough for me. Thanks, Kevin.
Awesome stuff Kev. Those RC jets were fantastic. I like how they were good with low speed handling as well as the fast stuff. Unfortunately, no matter where you go or what you do, there is always that minority who spoil it for everyone. Just don’t let them grind you down.
Kev never disappoints with his vids
It definitely isn't just RC. I have a lot of hobbies, and most of them have these types of people. Amateur Radio, Model Railroad, RC; pretty much every hobby has these folks who think they're curing cancer or something; folks who get all uppity if you start having too much fun. In my experience, it's usually (but not always) older folks who have been going through the motions for decades and don't like anyone upsetting the apple cart.
Turbine engines are actually pretty simple once you understand how they work. They have less moving parts than a piston engine as well. The only complicated part of them is the throttle control and fuel delivery systems which are all computer controlled nowadays. Very cool footage and nice flying!
Just a couple of fans
That and they spin about 10x faster
Awesome death spirals!! @4:05 Also love your speech Kev about clubs at the end. It takes a few bad apples to ruin the bunch eh
I just noticed the Promoto in the background! Cant wait for that video! I have 2 so far and just LOVE the Promoto MX
Grew up flying Nitro planes with my dad in a club 30+ years ago. There were always a few "bad ones" (Taking it too seriously) but I'll never forget spectating as a young kid and one kind man asking if I wanted to have a go with his plane. Taught me the basics and I was absolutely hooked for life. Incredible Hobby.
Don't let the few stop the fun, keep it up Kev.
Perfectly said, Kev. I've experienced similar feelings in other hobbies such as trading card games. A small group of people always take things too serious and try to make certain hobbies into this big business kind of thing, be it RC, card games, or even video games, when every hobby at the end of the day should be about having fun and forgetting about the stresses of life for a short while. Keep up the good work, and hopefully, we get to see a "Game Over" RC jet soon!
No one is stopping you from having fun. But You shouldn't expect to join a club full of people with $10k RC aircraft if you've never successfully flown one before without destroying it, losing control dive bombing the field lighting the grass on fire and getting their club shut down acting like you don't give a flip coz you have money
First off I am a long time subscriber. I don’t comment that often on any channel but I’ve got to say that I have mad respect for your honesty on that subject especially for someone of your stature in this hobby. What you said needs to be echoed throughout this hobby. I live in Dallas and before I got back into the hobby in bout 2015 rc world had changed a lot. I left the hobby back when you could walk into Traxxas with trx .15 in your hand walk up to a desk with 40 bucks and they gave you a new exchange walk out the door. So I wasn’t a complete stranger to rc, but when I started asking hobby store employees about these new electronics and lipo batteries compared to nitro they treated me like I was in the wrong place. It was discouraging for me. So thanks for ranting for me!! I hope them people are reading and listening so maybe they will change and help this hobby grow cause it is a wonderful community of people to be associated with!!! Sorry about punctuations I hate keyboards. Thanks for vids Kevin!!
Kev - I couldn't agree more with the seriousness of the hobby - although I've not personally seen it at my old club and my current club, the hobby in general, especially Helicopters, is wayyyyyy too serious. and there....................................... I give you 'Heli Shed' - the whole reason I started the channel. Thank you for raising it. 'Tyger'.
Kev-O definitely making a valid point about the clubs and people taking a hobby way to seriously.
Easy fix.
When my buddy moved in to his new house, we built our own track in the backyard.
Anyone and everyone was allowed to play and race and we all had an absolute blast doing it.
Just a thought...😏👍
True at the end, a guy I used to work with took over a failing club and got some guys into RC racing but too many people taking it far to seriously, I used to rock up with an extension lead, battery charger and minimal tools, others were there with half a garage throwing new tyres on every run, I wanted to get my kid into it when I was first going and bought him a stadium truck because at the time it was bring what you want and have fun but after the grumpy brigade arrived complaining that there car wasn't being turned the right way up quick enough I just thought let's have fun at the park with it instead, oh well leave them to it
Kev,
You nailed it.
I love RC but will never joint a club.
Been to a few and they were full of folks that are UNWELCOMING! AND, just an over the top D-bag.
Kevin. Sounds like you are ready to buy your own land. It will be perfect for RC cars, crawlers, planes and helicopters. Crowd fund it. Offer it up for events and have camping on it so RC'ers can camp over and have an RC holiday.
If your viewers like this idea.. git this a thumbs up.
Glad to see you getting into big planes. They are loads of fun. Makes me wish I had a little more land. As you say, it's not always so fun to fly at an organized club. I fly helis and drones out of my back yard and call it good.
6:35 I’ve never seen so many fire extinguishers in one place like that. 😂
Cracking video @kevintalbot and your analysis of a majority of Rc clubs is spot on!!!!
This mentality of elitism isn't just in RC but it's also in other niches as well and it would shock you. Retro video games, which is full of adults acting like kids trying to be cool, is really bad at times. It's shocking how much these grown adults forget they are playing with toys. Totally agree with your message. RIght on!
Those model jets were absolutely beautiful. Would love to see one in real life. Speaking of people who ruin the RC hobby, where I live, the two biggest RC shops in my area were run by complete jerks who ran their shops like you describe with the clubs. They are both out of business now that we are in the age of online shopping.
I agree with your closing statement about flying clubs. It's such a shame. I have experienced this and its really sad. I've always personally liked flying in a random field with the land owners permission. Get no agro then. Its awesome seeing you getting into to fixed wing dude 🙌
That rant deserves its own video. Ive found the same when i took my cars out to a club many years ago.
Can definitely relate to the Rc Flying club a$$holes.. when training to get my rc license back in the 90s.
The best instructors were the ones who let you have fun and autonomy, ( while still following safety rules)
Practicing on a flight simulator will help you learn much quicker too
100% with you on the point at the end there. At 16 I was properly into my RC, attended a couple of events at a proper club and could not have been more put off afterwards. Insecure, fully-grown men, putting off young people with their over-zealous posturing. They deserve all the ridicule, it's a sad state of affairs!
Yeah, those so called "gatekeepers" are the reason the hobby will die out, they mostly are old dudes who don't want "these damn young hooligans" near them or their planes and get all secretive about their planes as to be completely sure no-one steals their experience and knowledge instead of sharing it.
Those people are honestly the reason I too stopped RC "helicoptering" and reoriented my interest towards RC cars, they are far more lean and welcoming towards new people. They even bring their children and partners..
Aeronautics seems to be exclusively reserved for old men over 60, because in the entire two years I flew RC helos, not once have I met someone my age; or any women for that matter. Not only in the UK by the way, in Germany, France and the Netherlands on flying contests I encountered the same mentality, everyone kept strictly to themselves, so nobody could do corporate espionage or whatever.
Hello Kevin! You should make a net of some sort that can catch your ac cars at the end of the driveway. To minimize the damage and maybe be able to push your ac car even further without having to worry about totally crashing your own ac cars! Really enjoy you videos, it's just such a good time. Feels like I'm hanging out with you!
Whats really going be great is when he crashes his plane. He seems to enjoy purposely crashing his RCs so lets get the real fireball going.
😬@@hootiemike3091
That's what I thought in every speed run video too. :D
I've seen these catching nets at the end of the track in a lot RC drag race videos.
I agree 110% about the clubs and such. It’s a hobby not a profession for most of us to just have fun.
Oh how people forget the definition of a hobby "An activity done in one's leisure time for pleasure". Let's just go have fun with some friends and enjoy our "Hobby" A.K.A Grown people playing with Toys. Thanks for the awesome videos Kev!
Agree with what you said at the end Kev. Crazy RC eccentric types do ruin it, especially rc car racing. I do wonder if at the helicopter location you have been disallowed from a concern whether there is an element of safety coming in. Large RC helicopters can be lethal as you know - i know you are there on your own and being indivdually safe, but they may think your content may lead people to be less safe and they don't want the risk of bad PR. For me i would have thought they would jump at the publicity chance of you filming there.
My guess is The club probably doesn't want to be banned or shutdown because of an influx of random kids coming from Kev's channel turning up bashing and crashing and starting brush fires and stuff
It's funny what you said about the "club" mentality but it's absolutely right. I joined a local flying club and they've got a proper little runway and a private airspace. But everyone there is so RUDE!! There's no sense of camaraderie or fun, it's all about "d*ck measuring", who has the best parts. They literally mocked people if something was broken on their rig, meanwhile I'd try to help only to be rudely rebuffed. Damned if you, damed if you don't. Needless to say I found a better spot and people to fly with.
If they are really that bothered about measuring willys then maybe they should get a real plane and quit playing with toy planes
@@KevinTalbotTV couldnt have said it better myself
That actually takes a bit of balls @@KevinTalbotTV !
@@KevinTalbotTV yeah, i even heard some guys drive monster cars, just to measure their willys.. crazy world ;D
@@na01jsn well, if thats the sort of people you surround yourself, each their own, we have none of that bs in the monster community, we're all equal
well said kev,
keep showing people that RC is fun and is meant to be fun and relaxed.
Fully agree with you Kev! When you do get the jet, please, don't let Max anywhere near it...
Hi kev the plane is awesome, later you should try making the world's fastest rc jet or at least a really really fast one.
The sr71 had an rc jet /drone that would piggyback on it and then launch from it. It was capable of speeds faster than Mach 3.3.
@mwestie12 I think this person didn't thought their comment all the way through. The fastest rc planes I've seen are motorless gliders riding updrafts. Probably the fastest and cheapest way to go fast
@@SLOvids96Look up pulse jet speed record. Cheap and much faster.
@@SLOvids96but thats not a jet then its a glider?
Yeah guys I am talking about jets not gliders thanks for clearing that out brehnnickolas.
100% spot on, and it's also great to get the kids involved because this is kind of a STEM type hobby, or can be depending. But if you have grown ups acting like jack arses, then it's no fun and not good for the kids.
I 100% agree with you about clubs👍
Those RC jet planes are epic
The solution to RC clubs seems obvious, Kev: Make your own.
And the reason why it happens is because the people that want to have fun don't want administrative positions. They just want to have fun. The people that do get into administrative positions do so usually because they have a very strong opinion about how things should be, and they want to impose that on everyone. You see it everywhere. RC clubs, forum moderators, city councils, all levels of government. That's why we can't have nice things: because the people in charge think they own the place.
You make kev rc club 👍👍👍
I only watch your channel because it's FUN Kevin, I don't own any RC type toys but I love your take on all that you do The type of people you speak of not just exist in the RC world, they encroach in all aspects of hobby life. Keep up your great work, your channel is honest, open and very entertaining 👍
important message. You have great influence in the RC world, and you're not wasting it. Thank you!
Good thing Max wasn’t there. He would cream his britches thinking about destroying everyone’s expensive planes
Kev- you should have lawn-darted one of those rigs right into the ground and then yelled "Could be worse!" as you sprinted off to Andy The Landy. We are with you, stiffs can sod right off!
I completely agree! Those people that are taking it too seriously are missing the point, R/C’s are for fun!!👍👍
You're absolutely right about the club mentality, the problem is there are bellends everywhere. Fortunately I live in Finland so I can take my jets to the airfield and 9 out of 10 times I'm the only one there. The only problem is I have to pick up all the confetti myself when it goes tango uniform.:)
It's a hobby to have fun . You have the right attitude Kevin .
Visceral rant...loved it.
Great rant Kev, it’s the same with IAM Motorcycle Groups too. Suits turning a hobby into a resistance
Kev... your (excellent) rant at the end of this video is pure passion! And... that is what this hobby needs! Keeping it real! Not being downtrodden by the stalwarts! ❤
Well said Kev. Rc for fun ❤🎉
Best episode in a long time. Maybe because I like planes more.
The impossible turns they can do with those RC-jets. And how slow speed they have at landing.
I agree with you 💯‼️ In general, we all need to chill and enjoy our time having fun with this great hobby of RC!
Can only say....WOOORD! Go Kevin! You're the best!
Great video. Brilliant rant! Agree 100%
I agree with you on the end of this video. I've been to a few 1/10 crawler meets and there is always a few people there that take it way to serious. And call out the ones with trx4's because of the portal axles and say it's not scale and it doesn't count if I make a line that they can't. We are here to have fun and admire each other's hard work we have put into our Hobby's.
*ses bénefices :) Merci pour ces super vidéos!
Kev.... rc planes don't get bashed. It needs to be kept in one piece.😂
However, you will come up with planes that can be bashed. I can't wait for it.
Blessed.
Agreed with your rant. I was in the hobby nitro RC and electric back in the mid 90s for about 13 years. The hobby changed a lot on that time. I'm all for getting new people in the hobby and getting them on board, but there's just too many that take it to the n'th level especially bashing which is supposed to be fun. Plus if you live in the city lack of places to run your RC car, boat, airplane anymore with everything paved over and becoming private property. Like anything, it takes only a few bad eggs to ruin it for everyone. Can't wait to see you get that jet RC!
Man... Those Jets were so sweet .
Plane content RC or not is always a win kev.. keep em coming 👍🏼
Living the dream buddy ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Awesome Arrowplanes👍
Sounds like a rant well deserved! I don't own RC stuff but always love watching this channel. All the best Kevin, thankyou for your content. 🙂
I 👍 agree 100% with you ,Kevin, should be fun not big business
well said KEV , and AWSOME jets too .
I love your comments at the end. It’s so true and people just need to chill out and relax!
I experienced the same over in South Africa and recently in New Zealand so thats why I kind stuck to restorative work on RC. Anywhere you go with your kit people act weird and have negative vibes towards you, and on the other hand rc has become just too expensive for no reason which is why I stuck with restoration. Love your videos Kev. Take care 🎉😊
I think you and your mates should get a bit of land and create your own club. I have a feeling it would probably end up being one of the best clubs around.
Standard for most clubs in various walks of life. Always get the minority few who shout the loudest when actually it's their own insecurities causing the issues. Fair play for voicing it Kev. More fun, more RC, more hobbies, more like minded people not taking themselves seriously.
Big respect for your bit at the end, and completely agree.
Kevin, you couldn’t have said it better! There is nothing more fun than being a grown man and playing with toys! People who are negative shouldn’t be allowed to have them.
Absolutely Kevin I have a blast with mine!😆🤟🤟🤟
6:36
i love the sheer amount of fire extinguishers they have lol
yay top content to start the day off! Maybe you need to get one Kev, the onboard footage would be great if a camera could stay in/on lol, re-watching this i didn't even notice the gorgon earlier. Btw if you crash them hard the steering linkages are susceptible to going, we have gone through two :'D And also the motor can slide forward if it crashes hard enough, learned this from my daughters driving habits lmao
Jets sound awesome!, but remember seeing the RC Pulse Jet at the Woodvale Air show back in the 90's, that was something else!
Awesome Video Kevin!! Thanks!!
Kev, there will always be gate keepers in the RC community. Don’t let them get to you. Walk past them mate!
Amazing plane and the skills of the pilot👨✈️ are just as awesome as the plane itself.
Not just RC clubs Kev.. everywhere, mate.
That's was a Rant and a Half Kevin haha.....😅
Well said mate.. absolute truth here..some times you remind me why I follow you
Thank you for saying what you did. Some people needed to hear it. I hope they listened to you.
Quality ... Fair Play to Ya Kev ... you in a plane vids well that is clickable chap :) ...
peace
This is The most wholesome man in the RC YT community, anyone that doesn’t want him at their club is crazy or jealous. Almost 3 mil subs can be intimidating to those with small wieners
I've had similar experiences with almost every hobby I've done. There's always someone who takes it too seriously, especially if there is an element of competition involved.
Feel you at the end there Kev. All I can say is our club isn't like that, everyone has a bit of fun, takes the pee out of each other and supports each other no matter what they are flying, driving or even sailing. You'd be welcome to come fly with us at any time.
Best RC clubs are the ones you make with your friends, if you can. Humans certainly can disappoint. Loved the video, those things are incredible. I'll stick to catching my air off a ramp though lol.
Love watching, Kev.
Yes! Yes! Rc airplane content!🤘🏻
Those jets are incredible!
