Our history
FliteTest Argentina is the first rc YouTube show in Spanish and in Latin America. It all started when Chad saw Mateo coping Flite Test. He wrote to him quickly saying that he was happy to see that his show had inspired someone so young (at that time Mateo was 14) but it was illegal so they had to clear things up. But after two weeks Chad accepted him as a partner but with some conditions you will never know...
We have been uploading videos weekly for two years now. It was started by a young men Mateo and his neighbour Esteban. This was about 3 years ago when we started the show:
One of the first episodes. Mateo on the left and Esteban on the right.
But suddenly Esteban died...
Someone had to come as a host and then Mateo’s best friend came in: Robin. Since then, the show was like today! We are about a 6 people crew (Martin, Paloma, Nicole, Andy, Robin and Mateo) and we always have a lot of other people helping us like Gustavo and German. We also have people in other countries that represent us as a show. We have Max in Hamburg, Germany! And of corse a lot of other people behind the scenes.
After one year of hard work we had some little planes and this was our first promo video:
At that time everything went well. But then we had to grow up even more so we went to search for a sponsor. We didn't have so much luck. But last year 2013 we had our first official sponsor: Hobbyconde. Everything went well till the day the president of the company started to bullied us...so we left him.
We had then our first promo video with Robin:
Since that video we had 2 new sponsors: Aeroplay and even Hobbyking (both of them are our official sponsors now). We are loved in our country only because of what we do: fly RC and make fun, elevating, entertaining and educating videos. We bring to you reviews, tips, challenges or just for fun videos. We also have a podcast which comes out every two weeks and a newsletter on our website. We have been on the top five of flitetest.com and were invited as press to the biggest rc events in Argentina. With our three camaras we try to entertain, educate and elevate the world of flight.
Here is our crew and some of our friends we have made because of our show.

So we have a lot of fun doing FliteTest..not only filming and editing, we have made friends and A LOT of friends. We love that people kinda knows us and come to us and say "hi" and we even have made international friends like with the guys from 3Flite or RCManiaCyprus. We even created a superweb called "World Of RC" which you can find the articles bellow.
We would like to thank everyone for everything you have done with us: you feedback, everything! And also a big thank you to our sponsors and of course to Chad, Josh and all the guys from FliteTest in the USA for making this possible. But the most important thing is you! So thank you! Remember, we will always entertain, educate and elevate the world of flight...

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The P.A.S. is the "solidary action programm" of Mateo's international school programm. The P.A.S. is an intensiv 2 years program were you go to different fundations and schools to get young children to learn new things...normaly, those kids don't have their parents or they were never listened, so they wait us almost everyday to get them new things to do.
Mateo thought that it would be a great idea to continue with the FliteTest mission statement wich is "entertain, educate and elevate the world of flight". So he is getting some contact with Chad Kapper and Josh Bixler so that they can help him!
AND YOU CAN HELP US TOO! If you want to donate something for the kids, please sent us an e-mail to yourhobbychannel@gmail.com ... this is only a voluntary thing! You don't have to do it if you don't want to but Mateo wants just to talk to this guys about the principles of flight, build some FT Speedbuild kits and then get to fly them...so please...THE CHILDREN NEED YOU! We are going to use everything you give us..but this is for FREE and it's something you have to do with pleassure. We can do this world just a bit better together...
