@Chip ...
I can really feel your enthusiasm for this great event. I hope you enjoy it and maybe you have some photos for us. For me, sport was not and is not so exciting, I consume very little of it

@Porky ...
Also I have no Instagram, unfortunately. But sometimes I think about creating an account. It's the same with Vimeo for me.

Oh, I love these glasses with windshield wipers. Maybe there are such glasses integrated with batteries ...

Batteries ...
I think hardly anyone needs more than three batteries for any RC aircraft. Three pieces are sufficient for almost all purposes

I am traveling very often and without a car for a long time, no meaningful way to refuel on Tour batteries. Currently I have seven batteries, so I think I have enough reserve. Old batteries that can not reach enough flight time, I use on the tour to refuel all my USB devices.

However, a certain amount of rotation in dealing with so many Mavic batteries is required, which hardly anyone wants to do, I think.

I regularly do capacity checks and replace batteries that reach less than 80% of the specified capacity. The age and the number of all charge cycles of the batteries I consider less than the actually still achievable capacity.

The only sport I follow is F1, loved it since I was a kiddy, roll on March

Nice model! Before drones, I built a few model planes and boats but a lot of model rockets. Also like F1.. When we were kids my brother and I liked to pretend we were Jackie Stewart and speak in his accent. We particularly enjoyed saying "motor car racing." He stretched the sentence! Funny the things you remember!

No cause for concern, I think the stuttering came only from the excitement of the three successful flights
