Tweaked out on two mugs of coffee chased by a mountain dew. My leg cramped right after starting, you can probably see me stretching it out as I fly. My timing was all over the place today, late on the throttle, to long or not long enough on the rolls, I never even got up to speed. Just didn't have it today. Couldn't get in sync, much less push it in any meaningful way. Quit after one battery. No sense pushing it until you wreck, when it's just not working. The quad is "prototype #8" of my next design. Later today, I'll cut #9 and #10 with a slew of fixes based on Test Pilot Jefte's feedback. Hope to have 9 and 10 ready for MGP Points Race on Sunday. Don't let this bad flying represent this frame.... It's all on me today. :-( The last time I flew was epic. Of course, I also hit a tree on that day......
