Know what I tested and who paid.

Commercial relationships, free products, and testing limits should be easy to spot. These rules apply to videos, descriptions, comments, and this website.

Plain-language affiliate disclosure: Some links may be affiliate links. If you purchase through one, The Hobby Problem Show may earn a commission at no added cost to you.

Affiliate links

Affiliate links will be identified near the link and disclosed in the related video when a product is discussed or recommended. Commission availability does not decide what makes the gear list. Where it helps, I may include a non-affiliate source or another option.

Free products, loaners, and sponsorships

If a company supplies a product, loans equipment, pays for a video, or buys usage rights, I will say so clearly. Payment does not buy a positive conclusion. Company claims, my observations, and anything I could not verify will be kept separate.

How testing is described

A bench check, maiden flight, and long-term test are different things. I will describe how long I used a product, which aircraft and settings were involved, and what the test did not cover. Early impressions will not be presented as durability evidence.

Prices, stock, and specifications

Prices, stock, commission terms, firmware, and product specifications can change. Check the seller and manufacturer before purchasing or updating equipment. The Hobby Problem Show does not control a third-party seller's inventory, shipping, return policy, or warranty.

Corrections

More flight time can change an answer. If a later test contradicts an earlier conclusion, the related episode page will receive a dated correction or follow-up link. I will not quietly rewrite the result to make an old claim look right.

Flight and workshop safety

FPV aircraft, lithium batteries, power tools, soldering equipment, and RC projects carry real risks. The videos document my experience, not a substitute for manufacturer instructions, applicable laws, proper training, safe locations, or your own judgment.

Questions

If a relationship or recommendation is unclear, contact the show. Specific questions make it easier to give a specific answer.
