FreeFallRC Podcast Crew
Started in December 2015, Kevin Teschner, Steve Yun and Jeff Pera started a new venture into podcasting.

Bio: Experienced the hobby from 1988 to 1995 when his father was in the hobby. In late 2012, shortly after his father returned to hobby started Iaen on the simulator and some blade micros. After a few years flying 450 size Helis, in 2016 he moved up to bigger and better things. Things such as 600+ sized heli’s and posting memes on FFRC Facebook page and the hangout. He aided the planker with voices for few of his incredibly hilarious segments, voices including ( spongebob, and master yoda). Even with experiencing the hobby in his early childhood, he’s super enthusiastic about the hobby and happy to help out his fellow hobbyist by sharing his knowledge of the hobby being learned day by day to help others. Also shares his tips, tricks and must haves with his new segment “ wrenching with Iaen” while the guys roast him.

Fred Provost
Bio: Fred's dad was a pilot and he passed that love of aviation to him. Grew up with a gutted Cessna 170 in the backyard, spent many hours "flying" in and summers vacation to EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, WI. Never having the funds and demand in commitment to do full-scale, RC aviation was an interest since early childhood, dabbled in highschool but really got involved in late 2000's. Behind the scenes with Flite Test before FT officially debuted and "officially" doing online support just after the first FliteFest 2015. Fan to host of FFRC podcast in 2017. Flown helis, to planes and drones, primarily keeping with the planes and multi rotors, loving the FPV experience of flight from the cockpit. Maybe a FPV helicopter in the future.
Fleet: Too many things to list, planes trains and automobile...
Chris Reibert
Bio: Chris has been flying RC for the past 32 years, 3rd generation of RC enthusiast with his grandfather giving him his first nitro RC plane at an early age of 6yrs old so flying is in his blood, not just as a hobby but as a lifelong passion! Got into RC helis in early 90s, continuing his passion for the hobby, started writing reviews for RC Heli Pilot and FLY RC magazines. Working on tons of build reviews/guides and videos for his RC pages.
