Who here is from the Metro Detroit (Michigan) area that would seriously be interested in meeting up sometime to have a Michigan meetup? I am looking to meet some people who are really chill. My experience is still petty amateur but not noobish l, I would love to learn from others and just have a blast of time flying? (About 2 years of flying)

My current line up consist of the following!

If not in person, simulator buddies would be fun. Advid user in SlackerFPVs discord with Vegan, Tdog, poppaperc, others! Never enough friends to fly with.

Hit me up in dms.

Perfect day to fly in Michigan. All charged up and head into the park

First flight with the 5 inch today, I already knew about 5 inch and have seen them flown in past but never launched one due to lack of experience, now with 2 years of constant flying whoops, the Crux I got the vapor x5 ready to go. In Michigan area

Jumping into my first 5 inch used from someone that went to extra length in bardwell server to give all pictures and video to show solid a quad. Currently Crux 35 is my biggest but any tip I should know?

Anybody in the Detroit are looking to rip? I been having fun guerilla whooping even though new.

Progress & Issues — 5 Year Journey, Still Grinding

Been around this hobby for about 5 years but let's be real — it hasn't been 5 years of consistent flying. More like 6-7 month bursts of passion and then burnout, rinse and repeat. This year though I've really been locking in. I have an addictive personality and once I'm in, I'm ALL in — but that same personality makes burnout hit hard when it comes. Also the finances to tank because you buy another drone lol you don't need.

Real life flying has been clicking more and more, and now the simulator is finally starting to mirror that. Feeling fast, feeling flow, and the progress feels real for the first time in a long time.

Recent breakthrough:

Fixed my throttle drop issue by raising mid throttle to 55. Small tweak, massive difference.

Current struggles:

Yaw paralysis — I know yaw is supposed to help you level out and pull through turns but I can't execute it cleanly. When I yaw into a turn I swing wide instead of tracking through it. Coming in too fast makes it worse. I just can't get my brain and hands to agree on that small subtle yaw adjustment to point where I'm going. I overcorrect, or I freeze completely. Five years in and this is still my wall.

Yank and banks — Trying to use them for speed but struggling to execute them cleanly and consistently.

Anyone else been on this kind of on-and-off journey? How did you finally get the yaw to click?
