I do my share of stressing, even obsessing, but I've decided that's a part of this hobby for me. I should fly more and do collateral things less, maybe. I've never been good with computers and it's an opportunity to face new challenges. I also love researching the places I'm flying in. I've been spending a lot of time in South America and I'm ashamed of how word not allowed I am of southern hemisphere geography and history and culture. I don't do much uninstalling 🙂 Just two of the most highly regarded jets on the market so I can do what I enjoy: giving a good home to old birds that are less than perfect. I survived my motorcycle phase--barely. If these catch on I'm not sure they won't become known as "donorcopters." We're going to have to get used to all sorts of low-flying things, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. A radiologist down the road has a helicopter and our little farm is on his final. Pretty sure he almost ended up in our living room one evening. I had a neighborly talk with him and he offered to give me a ride, but the Navy spoiled the novelty for me.

October 22, 20214 yr Videos of these type of vehicles tend to have the sound turned off and music overlaid, I suspect because they don't want viewers thinking about how monstrously loud these types of things all seem to be... I usually like the concepts, while lamenting the fact they don't actually make the cool sounds of their sci-fi counterparts. Could society really live with the noise if these things ever actually became common? Edited October 22, 20214 yr by HiFlyer We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

However, I must admit, it does look a lot of fun!
