Lots of great advice in this thread so let me offer a complementary approach: when you find yourself feeling reluctant to work on the project, sit with that feeling and ask yourself where the sensation is coming from (and it might not be obvious at first—a therapist would be able to help you untangle the feelings).

In my case I learned I have a fear of failure. Once all the “easy” parts are done, and I don’t know quite how to do the next step, I start feeling uncomfortable. Not continuing is safe, because I don’t have to find out whether I will be successful. Learning new things usually requires trying and failing, and failing is uncomfortable, and our body is doing its best to keep us feeling safe.

I’ve used most of the other suggestions in this thread and they do work to varying degrees. But my TLDR advice is that these strategies are often coping mechanisms for some underlying lizard brain emotion going on. If you can gain some self-awareness about that emotion then you will gain power over it, be able to soothe it, and thus be less reliant on an external strategy.

Yes it sure is! There is an asshole bird that tries to mess you up, and the last few handholds are a challenge, but there is a prize at the end :)

I loved this one. His next one was called GIRP and I played it so much I started speedrunning it, back before twitch was a thing

Cape Town is a beautiful place!

In my case this behavior turned out to be an avoidant coping strategy for handling my fear of failure. If I don’t work on it, I can’t fail (or be judged on its end result), thus I’m safe. That’s level 1. Level 2 is to ask, why do I fear failure in hobby projects?

Another aspect is that because it’s all for fun, often the fun parts for me are the initial design and the process of figuring out that, yes this idea would totally work! The actual work of the implementation is the less fun part so I’m less interested in doing it.

TLDR: talk to a therapist about it, they can help you map out what’s happening, and by becoming self aware of the cause, you gain power over it.

I’ve done that before, it’s awesome! I put an fpv camera on the top of the tail and ran the cables all the way back to the transmitter. It’s wide enough that you can see the edges of the wings.

Hand launch but I would love a bungee, throwing it is stressful for me because I’m always worried I won’t get my hands back to the controls in time 😅

D’oh unit fail haha!

Just wait until you get into gliders! I have a 2000m powered glider and I have a hard time moving it around the house without bumping it into things haha

The orange and limes are semi-dwarf according to their tags but the lemon is full size 😅😅

Actually two are from Miner’s/Ace and the third from a local nursery :) Also love Costco though!

Wow what a great tip, thank you!!
