Today I’d like to introduce my first full electric flight with a #Diamond Aircraft #eDA40 in #msfs2020.

Based in #Detmold, Germany I first did some traffic patterns for testing. The plane has a 80 kWh battery for 74 minutes of flying. Two traffic patterns took around 20 % of battery including going going around.

After recharging I did a local flight of around one hour over #Lemgo, #BadSalzuflen, #Herford and #Lübbecke and back to Detmold. A quite strange experience was the standing propeller on the runway short before taking off. eDA40 does also recuperate, but I haven’t seen any charge of the battery. Maybe depleating is delayed.

You will see more flight with it if you want. Just tell me. See you soon.

Today’s 3 good things:

- Mailed my postcards to #Wisconsin voters today.

- Held #Diamond (who historically doesn’t like being held) in a new/different way, and she didn’t hate it. She even began purring contentedly until she suddenly realized what was going on, came to her senses, and requested down. A very good girl.

- Good self-defense class tonight. Learned how to control & bring an attacker to the ground using just their head.💪

Today’s 3 good things:

- Moved out of my physical office space. It was emotional & bittersweet, but it was the right decision and this was a big step.

- Partner & I were dismayed to find our fave breakfast burrito place has closed. We consoled ourselves with an abundance of Taco Bell to make up for it.

- #Diamond forgave us for an unknown transgression and allowed us to provide her with apologetic belly rubs. She is very forgiving.
