have you get ride of the "excitement sensation" when switching to manual? I wonder if it happens hahah makes me very tired to practice in manual, but it is addictive

A J Posted at 5-30 05:41
Nice one

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 05:45
Yeah, too bad it is quite expensive.

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 05:46
And then one of the kids stepped on it........
Wow.
I blocked it completely.

A J Posted at 5-30 06:06
Glad you managed to block it! You've got three children if I remember right! Hope they are doing well!

A J Posted at 5-30 06:05
Very expensive! Though I travelled a lot on the cheap back in the day - backpacking around Australia, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia from 1998 to 2000.

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 06:21
Yeah, 3.
And a wife.

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 06:22
I'd love to travel more. But with the current state of SWMBO that is not going to happen.

A J Posted at 5-30 06:39
The bit wife helps

A J Posted at 5-30 06:40
Is she OK?

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 07:41
No, she is not. But it's been going on for 5 years now, so we are getting used to it.

A J Posted at 5-30 07:43
Doesn't sound too good mate - hope things improve soon whatever the situation is.

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 07:59
Yeah, we are hoping for that too, but after 3 different setbacks (HELLP, long covid and burnout), she has lost most of that.
Energy is just very very low and we're (she) is doing a lot of therapy etc. but so far nothing really helps.

A J Posted at 5-30 08:05
I'm so sorry to read that Peter. My wife had long covid too and it is horrible (though I amazingly never contracted Covid despite both my wife and son having it). Adding the other complications must have made a massive strain on her. I'm sure things will improve for all of you. Especially when the new home is finished for her to properly relax in.

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 08:45
Thanks. Yeah, it's so weird to see what kind of effect that has.
Absolutely. And speaking of that, I'm going to put on my working clothes.

A J Posted at 5-30 09:09
Cool. Take care mate and speak soon!

Hi A J, nice video and flying. Did you practice before in a simulator ? if true , which one do you recommend that is compatible with DJI FPV RC 3 ? Thanks for sharing

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 09:50
Thanks.
Small task today.
Layer of paint on the architraves, so they can dry and I can add another layer of clear coat on the sill tomorrow morning.

A J Posted at 5-30 10:01
Nicely organised - good work!

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 10:07
Well, I should have done this earlier, but.... I forgot.
So making the most of the 'new reality'.

A J Posted at 5-30 10:13
Better late than never mate!

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 10:14
Yeah, not going to rush. We're doing it as good as we can now.

A J Posted at 5-30 10:21
Best way forward mate. Sounds like you have everything in hand. Any idea on when you anticipate the work being completed?

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 10:59
Next week : painting walls.

17-23 June the PVC floor is coming.

A J Posted at 5-30 09:59
Hi, thank you for your feedback.
I used my Playstation 5 DualSense Edge controller with the CurryKitten FPV sim on my iPhone for about 5 hours before doing my last 19 flights on the Avata 2 in full manual. I found the sim more difficult than flying in real life.

KuyoSka Posted at 5-30 12:50
Thanks for responding. I think I will have to start using a simulator before taking a try in real life.

A J Posted at 5-30 11:20
Wow - so by the end of next month?

Montfrooij Posted at 5-30 23:57
Yeah, hope so!

A J Posted at 5-30 12:52
I would recommend it and watch this series of videos too!
