Today on Skybound RC, I'm chatting with Kobe Cantin, an aerobatic pilot who's been in the RC game since 2012, and has worn just about every hat. Competitor, announcer, content creator, event organizer, and sponsor pilot. We get into his early days at Joe Nall, how IMAC shaped his flying, and why he eventually traded the flightline for the microphone. He also breaks down his RealFlight Freestyle Competition, why foamies and simulators are still the best training tools nobody uses enough, and his mission to bring indoor events like E-Fest back from the dead. If you've been around the RC scene, you've probably heard his voice. Now it's time to hear his story.

Today I’m chatting with Santiago Pérez, one of the top RC aerobatic pilots in the world. Known for his low, aggressive 3D and razor-sharp precision, Santi flies as a team pilot for Extreme Flight and is a regular at world-class events like the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout.

Beyond competition, he plays a key role in testing and refining Extreme Flight’s latest airframes—like the new Extra 300 series and the massive 120" Extra 260.

In this episode, we dive into his approach to freestyle and IMAC, setup philosophy, model differences, and even his recent move into 3D jets. Whether you're into competition or just want to level up your flying, this one’s packed with insight.

Daniel Holman is one of the most respected names in RC aerobatics. In the early 2010s, his freestyle routines blended musicality, precision, and smooth, high-speed lines—helping push the sport into a new era of extreme aerobatics. As a long-time team pilot for Extreme Flight, Daniel became known for his graceful yet aggressive flying style and for pushing aircraft to their limits in top-tier competitions.

After a decade-long break from RC, Daniel is back—flying again from his home in Alaska, where he now works as a commercial pilot. From flying King Airs across remote villages to landing his personal Cessna 180 on gravel bars in the middle of nowhere, his day job takes aviation to the edge of what’s possible.

In this episode, Daniel shares stories from both worlds—RC and full-scale—including insights on freestyle design, lessons from flying in extreme conditions, and what it’s like to rediscover the hobby after years away.

Whether you're into 3D, precision flying, or full-scale bush aviation, this one’s a must-listen.
