@fitphoenix. @w8goal4life.
Thank you. Hopefully it's not too dizzying.craigo3154 wrote: »...
Racing went well. Struggled for consistency, but so did most. Was fortunate to finish in 3rd. Enjoyed flying and finished all races (most did not). Could not have flown anything close to how I did today even 6 months ago (at Nationals).
This was my cleanest run for the day (out of 11 attempts). Most flight I made had many more mistakes and collisions than this run. Even this run had one gate collision, but not bad enough to make me crash (or even sustain any damage).
For this run, there was a 20mph wind blowing in the same direction as we launched from. You cannot see it in the camera, but it sure makes a difference to how the drone flies. Makes things just that much harder.
At the very end I land upside down. I then use a method to reverse two motors and turn the drone over. It's called turtle mode. It's a useful little trick when racing and allows you to get back up flying if nothing is too badly damaged.
Race drones are tough. They can usually be limped home with bent propellors, or even an entire missing propeller blade (2 blades missing is iffy, 3 blades missing (or an entire propeller) is usually too much). Race drones usually fly with 4, 3 bladed propellers.6 -
5/25 was pass day #4 for me and we left for vacation today so I may not be able to log every day for the next week so I will not make it to the winners circle but I still appreciate the motivation and inspiration from this group. Good luck everyone and hope you enjoy the long weekend! 😎8

Luckily I have a spreadsheet that I track everything in. I had to look at it to remember where I left off. I got a summer cold on Wednesday thru Saturday. I am still stuffy back thankfully I can function again. I think summer colds are the worst!!

@MadisonMolly2017 the globe flowers do look like little fairies 🧚🏻♀️, a sweet looking flower!

I like to keep fresh flowers in the house. These are the ones I have this week- yellow small rose sprays mixed with a small spring bouquet. Courtesy of Trader Joe’s😊 I wish I had a green thumb.9 -

Coincidentally someone had stuck a few signs in front of some of the plants growing beside the path. I’m quite good at identifying wildflowers/plants but the first sign we came across was for one I didn’t know, the May Apple! Looked identical to Rick’s pick! Trilliums are blossoming right now (Ontario’s flower).
@goldthistime Trillium! Here, they are the first flower to bloom!2 -

This was a planned pass day for me. I didn't go crazy, chose the chicken instead of the burgers, but did have potato salad and a brownie!! I'm excited to finish May strong, and do the same for June.

Pass day 4
Not in winner circle this month but will stay on track for no more pass days this month2 -
Italian Bridal shower ..... 'nuff said .... (oh, and fitbit battery 'null' for part of the day, so no credit for plenty of steps - so even if I could have figured out how to log everything, the "fitbit exercise credit" would have been an inaccurate "zilch"

Rough day today, but will get back on track tomorrow. Holiday weekend and my mother ended up in the ER. Everything is fine and we are hoping she is released later today.
Thanks to everyone for posting the photos of flowers. They are all beautiful and gave me an immediate attitude improvement.
