FPV Flying (or something like it) Hitting lots, but not crashing
I was out flying today testing the difference between a skew and a helical through some trees (video to follow)
I crashed a lot... absolutely loads, but I had this run of a few minutes where I hit a whole bunch of stuff but somehow stayed in the air... I'm ignoring the other 20 crashes and remembering the times I got away with it :) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h_z0AVuxLs
This is the ending to Silent Hill 3 - this particular capture was taken from the PC version of the game.
Heather kill the cult's God, but upon returning to amusement park to meet Douglas, she finds him dead in a puddle of blood, and she's the one holding the knife. She's also still in a alternate reality. The dark Gods have possessed Heather and used her to kill Douglas. This is basically a SH3's bad ending.

I had today scheduled as a flying day because when I checked the forecast last week it was a beacon of sun and low wind surrounded by rain and wind. However, today rolled around and the wind picked up quite significantly. But given the next week is even worse, I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

I said I'd be back to try 6S, and here it is... albeit in a slightly bodged way. But never mind, what could possibly go wrong :D
Well, we could get a motor desync and it fall out of the sky... for example. This is my take on what's happening at least, but I'm certainly open to opinions and suggestions for fixing. I should just work out of the box of course, but that's just wishful thinking. A bit of a shame really, as the sluggishness that I experienced in 4S is gone - so the motor KV needs 6S even if the ESCs don't want to play nicely.

The HolyStone HS175D drone is supposed to be nice and easy for beginners and fly around doing a lot of things for you. My one mainly sat on the ground annoying me - and as HolyStone never got back to me about the problems I suffered, here's my review based on my experience.
There's no product link here because I can't recommend that anyone buys it. If you can see I'm doing something obviously wrong, please feel free to tell me.

It's grim out there today - I certainly can't fly, so I thought it would be nice to take a little walk back through history to look at some of the real pioneers in FPV, but not necessarily people would have heard of before.

Another joke ending which is a continuation of the UFO ending from Silent Hill 1. After using the Blue Gem in room 312 in the Hotel, James is suddenly surrounded by a bunch of UFO's when in front of him appears Harry Mason, the protagonist of Silent Hill 1. Harry asks James ih he saw his daughter and James asks Harry if he saw his wife after which, the aliens zap him and take him away. This ending is only available in Restless Dreams version of the game.

FatShark have a limited set of diopter options for those of us optically challenged, so I checked out some RHO-lenses that can be made in just about any prescription to see how they compared.
.... and the answer was that the custom lenses were way better - as you'd expect really. But more importantly you can get the perfect vision in not just FatSharks but a bunch of other types of FPV goggles as well.
As mentioned in the video, if you go to http://rho-lens.com/ you can save 10% off your order by using my coupon code WA240510
This discount only applied to the FatShark lenses I'm afraid, but if anyone is ready to order one of the other lenses, let me know and I'll see if I can get another code to cover it.

SNICLO has another tiny crawler out, but this time it's a 1:43 scale. It makes it bigger than the previous models, and this results in it being more stable, having a better centre of gravity, and having these lovely grippy chunky tyres. Let's go drive it and see how it performs.
