We used to have the cox sky copter with the same engine. It had no control wires, you just let it go and it would ascend until it ran out of fuel and then it descended by auto rotation. It wasn’t that fun though, as it usually got stuck in a tree or on a roof on the way down. One day it just took off and disappeared, never to be seen again. We also had a dune buggy with that engine.

I had a bad concussion in 2016 on the receiving end of a t-bone car accident. I too had a bad experience with Mayo Clinic Jax concussion expert, clueless and insulting. After 5 years, I’m still feeling the usual post-concussion syndrome affects, like issues with sleep, cognition, focus, agitation, and memory. Studies show that 1 in 5 concussions are “long-haul” chronic conditions and no one is sure why.

Here are some things that helped me: 1. Many of my symptoms improved immediately with the Jim McMahon (the football player) concussion treatment. It fixes a neck issue with C1 and C2 shift. Google it. 2. Antidepressants did nothing, but Provigil has been a lifesaver for focus and xanax when I’m overwhelmed. I take them when needed. 3. Good doctors understand the issues, but you need to find them. I’ve had success with USF Dept of Neuroscience.

I still have the concussion symptoms, but I have adapted to a new way of living and I’m at peace and grateful. Good luck to everyone in this boat, you’re not alone and it can get better.
