I found out about a new ad free streaming service called Aeroverse. Current price is $8.99 as of this post.
I found out about the service on Jimmys World
There is also a podcast with the founder of Aeroverse Charles Cook
There is also a iOS app for the streaming service

The Aeroprakt A-20 Vista was designed in Ukraine in 1991 with around 70 produced. Power options range from Rotax 500’s – 900’s. The aircraft was first introduced to the US market at Airventure 1999.
Configuration is very similar to one of my favorite High wing pusher aircraft the J-1B Don Quixote
The A-20 was also developed into the A-26 Vulcan a twin engine version similar to an Air Cam. Additional content on the A-26 is limited.

Not sure on the active state of the company considering the war but it looks like the A-20 & A-26 have been discontinued with newer models in their lineup. Web Site is http://aeroprakt.kiev.ua/
The A-20 has a good amount of YouTube videos, here are a few:
I was not able to find any RC options for this aircraft but with modern Cad software and a 3D printer it looks like it could be a fairly easy job to make a scale version.

Making a show appearance at Sun N Fun 2024 the Junkers A50 Heritage seems to be the hot potato with its Radial Engine.
https://en.junkers.de/junkers-a50-junior
The 1930’s Corrugated construction on everything is a unique stand out in a modern aircraft.
Junkers is likely most famous for the Ju-52 tri radial engine with the same type of construction as the A50
The Heritage is a radial Engine swap from the Rotax engine seen last year.

Video on installing the Junsun Android Auto head unit
I recently upgraded to the iPhone 15 pro max with a particular interest in its Lidar 3D scanning capabilities. I tried a few apps but was not too impressed until I checked out my old Rhino 3d app that I’ve had for years. It updated with the new phone setup and what do you know it has 3d scanning capabilities.
Wanted to give it a good go and thought an Onion that wanted to live would make an excellent candidate.
This is the rendered version of the scan, very impressive. The shaded version is up top.
And here is the real thing
The file saves to the Rhino 3dm format direct in the phones files folder. From there the file can be sent direct to the pc for editing in the Rhino software with node points. This can greatly aid as a reference in new cad designs.
