But at the moment I have absolutely no feeling in my thumb,so any tx will be no good, sim or not, besides,my laptop with sim on is bust too.

Ian 777 · 05-13-2008, 01:00 PM

Very sad to here that mate, did the doctors give you any Idea about how quickly it is likely to improve ? Phisio etc.

DierWolf · 05-13-2008, 01:59 PM

stick it in a couple holes until the feeling comes back..

testpilot58d · 05-13-2008, 02:13 PM

LMAO...'THIS IS A FAMILY FORUM!'

helihathnofury · 05-13-2008, 02:17 PM

LOL Interesting thought Wolfie!!!!!!!

I have to go back in 3 weeks

helihathnofury · 05-13-2008, 02:33 PM

......but consultant said could be anything up to 9 months before things are maybe near normal.

DierWolf · 05-13-2008, 02:36 PM

Are you in Iraqi territory as well??

If so
Well then your in alot of trouble.

Lets calculate shall we???

1. Been gone from home for a while
2. You will be back in 3 weeks (finger wount be in any holes, well maybe all depends how kinky she is LOL).
3. 9 months until you get feeling back properly in finger.

Last one scares me with the combination of the other 2 items... maybe baby by then will be arriving at the same time and no time for heli's anyways LOL..

Thats really tough Mike but at least they do expect you to recover

mnwizard · 05-13-2008, 08:07 PM

Due to nerve damage (long story) I don't have any pressure sensitivity in my right thumb, so I learned to fly with thumb and fore finger. (claws) Have you tried that?

Just a thought. Don't get discouraged. And feel free to piss and moan here anytime!

Trickycopter · 05-13-2008, 08:45 PM

I know what you mean helihathnofury I tried to pm some links to some one in need would not let me send my pm. Have a great day Rick

I am hoping that in time [how long?] i will be able to get my finger and thumb together and actually get some sort of control/pressure between them. On the bright side, it is so nice to have the cast off!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for you kind words guys

Mike

ps Wolfie, I am not in I-Rack, thankfully, so no baby on the way!!!!!!!!!! LOL Vivid imagination!!!!!!!

They look interesting!! I am hoping that with a bit of persistance [and probably pain] that the thumb will "give" a bit, and get more flexible.

Mike

Ian 777 · 05-14-2008, 01:11 PM

Onwards and upwards bretheren

We have nothing to fear but fear its self ( O and pain, mental torment etc. etc)

Im sure it's not going to beat you though Mike

Ian 777 · 05-17-2008, 03:46 PM

Had 4 great flights today, I still can't get over how well this thing goes, It really does look so smooth in the air in spite of it's size.

I was going to try and loop it but the wind got progressivly worse through the day and I chickened out.

Very pleased with my Sonix Mini Titan swash it is noticably more precise than the UGT 05 one and only cost me £12 plus £2.50 pp

All the best

Ian

Mike

Are you working with a physical therapist? If so, be sure and tell them you want to fly RC. Once I told my guy, he came up with a weighted contraption to help get the ol' thumb to flex and pull in the right direction. Still can't feel pressure, but I can fly with it.

It took a while, and it hurt like a bastard, but it was well worth it. Never give up! (and don't let the bastards see ya sweat

)

testpilot58d · 05-17-2008, 09:23 PM

well, I'm off to go do silly things and break stuff. Progress report and video in a cpl hours...

testpilot58d · 05-18-2008, 02:36 AM

Ian...I'm sorry brother....you're gonna hate me...

I know you wanted some 'inspiration to catch up'....so here it comes. Over 5 minutes of just plain sillyness! I had an AWESOME day! 8 packs...no crashes...I'm totally comfortable with flips, loops, and inverted (ok...maybe a little nervous inverted) but hours of sim time this week really paid off! Now I just need to work on collective management to make them as tight as I want or as loose as I want. by the 8th pack I was getting pretty comfortable. lol...check the one thing I did about half way through the video..It was toally unintentional but man it turned out cool. I pulled back, went inverted, held it there, then rolled it 180 so it was back toward me then flew it past me nose in!

I decided to try 2 right aileron rolls. They were ugly, but its one more hurdle I'm over. I have the confidence I can do them, just need to tighten them up a bit.

a 5 minute pack full of continuous loops, flips, 2 somersaults, and 2 rolls...MAN! WHAT AN AWESOME FEELING! it'll take a bit for it to upload.

Ian 777 · 05-18-2008, 02:42 AM

Nah I love you man

Just what I need to get me off my lazy chicken ass and do some serious sim practice

Thats brilliant Brian that's what it's all about mate

testpilot58d · 05-18-2008, 03:00 AM

thanks brother...you'll love the video.

Its only about 1/8th the way done uploading so Im gonna get some sleep. Been up all night with work, then right into fun fly this am. I will post the link when I wake up, or you can just check my youtube page in about an hour or so.
