We have a rescue boat at the club and I am also going to build an electric rescue airboat for the purpose too only mine will also have fpv with a head tracker fitted to the goggles, to slow the pilot to look around and line themselves up precisely for the rescue push!

Yes it's pretty cool hey especially when you think they have none of the onboard computer control systems that the America's cup boats have:

And it appears with enough wind and an expensive conversion kit from NZ you can even make my new yacht fly!!!

I've started a new blog on my experience to help others - content will be posted roughly weekly on a wednesday: Brainfart blog link - Brainfart Blog – The thoughts and ruminations of Matt Brett on all things neuro rehab and the challenges of living with a neurological condition as a working family man Brainfart blog on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brainfartblog/ Brainfart blog on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574882630556

Just to let you know I escaped from hospital a few weeks ago and was cleared of the possibility of a second stroke phew!👍, and am doing ok and stair climbing is fine but the additional left sided weakness is still persisting to some extent I have lost a lot of the hard earned grip strength and coordination I got back in my left hand but am doing lots of left handed exercises to recover it.On the upside I have found an RC hobby I can do safely solo for this year whilst I recover more left hand dexterity: One of these is on order...DF65: Not as exciting as flying but very relaxing...:

Try the sticky throttle Kier cut exam pole in this thread.

I an still in and waiting NT for an MRI scan to fully clear me off the second stroke possibility but I think that very unlikely after today when I have done lots of walking and k need a set of stairs with the physios here in hospital who have passed me as “therapy fit to go home once the Drs have done the scan and call J cleared up Y remaining doubts about what happened in whatever is left of my brain this time!!

Uh oh Iam in hospital again after another post stroke epileptic seizure my second ever! My first was in mid Feb almost a year to the day after my stroke! But this is really going to set me back I think… 😢 Unfortunately I have some new left sided weakness which hopefully is temporary as a result of something called Todd’s paresis this is mainly affecting my much worked on left arm and to a lesser extent my left ankle, and tomorrow w we will find out if iI can still climb stairs which will be a pivotal moment for me otherwise I will have to live downstairs in the annex until I can.

Don’t expect me to explain all the mixes at the moment tho as I am in hospital again after another post stroke epileptic seizure my second ever! My first was in mid Feb almost a year to the day after my stroke! But this is really going to set me back I think… 😢 si have some new left sided weakness sa result of something called Todd’s paresis

Mark if you want to download and play with my old Zlin setup in companion tx out on your model which is fully documented and includes Snapflap whose amount is adjustable in flight via one of the pots on the Tx - it’s here : https://rcsettings.com/index.php/viewdownload/3-fixed-wing/54-electric-sport-model-2-servo-wing

Ps on my old Smaller electric Hobbyking Zlin I used to have a tiny amount of snapflap mix setup from elevator to flapperons in the acro flight mode which was great for helping with inverted flight just 1mmeither way was about right on mine so a very tiny amount, but set it up on a rotary adjuster initially so you can tune the amount in flight as you go until it handles as you want it!

Of r you n it’s Open TX! Easypeasy but sorry I’m in hospital at the moment so can’t give an example of how!

Oh and the DVLA have sent a letter saying they want my driving license back after I informed them of my first seizure so driving is now even more of a distant dream! I am sick of this tbh just when you think it can’t get any worse it does! 😢 😢

Andjoy of joys 😢I am now back in hospital after my second ever epileptic seizure 3 weeks after the first and this one appears to be accompanied by something called Todd’s paresis which worryingly has stroke like symptoms of additional weakness in my stroke arm and leg but the ct scan came back clear for a second stroke Andy the paresis should go off of its own accord over 36-48 hrs but they are going to mri scan me tomorrow to be absolutely certain that there is no second stroke sas I still have some symptoms 48 hrs later, a second stroke would be my absolute worst nightmare giving up some or all of that hard won mprogress gained over the last 13 or so months!
