Thought I’d let you know I’m still alive. My buddy snapped a pic of my Ultima launch as evidence. Seems like the summer just blew by for some reason. Hopefully pandemic matters will return to something resembling normal in 2022. Lack of practice is correlating to my flying skills. I did, however build a Vortex DLG & ventured into flying that this summer. I’m a complete noob but enjoying the new learning experience. Much respect for F3K type flying that’s for sure. I kind of enjoy the freedom of throwing but my bum shoulder is letting me know about it. Holding off on F5K conversion until I exhaust this jumbo box of online steroids from Olympics-R-Us!
