But isn't there a way to modify them to compensate?
ETA: nevermind. Question has already been answered.

So I went back to my hometown, and I can't bring my mech on the plane..... bought an evod starter blister pack. Oh good old first gen vape pen times.
And that's the tootle in me
And that's the tootle in me
I think if and when the price comes down to around $40 I'll pull the trigger on a couple of them.
Eeeerrrr, up and down, up and down, never again am I going on that ferry, never felt so sick for a very long time, almost green in color and couldn't even vape for the whole journey, just a couple of toots on the Kabuki is all I could manage and to think I was going to buy a boat, noooooo, me and the sea just don't get along.
As a helicopter mechanic who use to work offshore every once in a while I would have to take a boat ride to get to a broken helicopter, and the first time I did, I was green like that and very close to blowing chunks by the time I got off the boat. Then I learned the trick to it. Be some place outside where you can watch the horizon and be outside where you can sit and do things to keep your mind off of things like have a conversation with someone.
As a pilot i have taken people on their first plane rides and keeping their mind occupied really helps to keep them from getting airsick. Had one young guy who told me as we was just taking off that he was going to be sick and I was like, no your not. As we leveled off at a thousand feet I pointed out to him a Jr High school and asked him if he went there and he did, then we found his house and flew over it and found a few other things and he was so busy looking at things he forgot he was going to be sick. He was pale at first but his color returned to normal and he had a great time.
The main point is with sea sick, air sick, motion sick, keep your mind off it and a lot of times it will pass. Go rent or borrow a boat one day and take it out. I bet with you driving it where your too occupied to think of getting sick that you wont and you will have a good time.
I've never gotten "motion sickness", except maybe a little bit on a waterbed.
But I have vertigo -- for me, that means I can go to the top of the tallest building, stand up there and look all around, never a qualm -- but in that elevator going DOWN, I have to sit down, or I will FALL down -- or at top of Stone Mountain... I can look all around, but not UP -- then I feel like I'm spinning around, about to fall off the damn hunk of rock.In planes, I absolutely LOVE taking off -- that insane speed down the runway, the loudness of the wheels on the pavement, and the sudden quiet when you lift off the ground, and the g-force pressing you back in your seat while climbing for altitude -- you can FEEL the "lift", and I LOVE all that!!! But the minute we start pointing downward, to get ready for landing -- I'm freaking out in a huge way.
I figured out a while back that i would never ever be able to ride in a chopper.... unless medicated into unconsciousness.

TMI TMI TMI...I've never gotten "motion sickness", except maybe a little bit on a waterbed.
TMI TMI TMI...
Not really... it was while trying to go to sleep that I noticed the problem, not doing anything "TMI" related...
You know that sort of "floaty" feeling you get, as you're falling asleep? For me, on a waterbed, that felt more like "spinning around in the dark with no way of telling up from down." And I had to start keeping some kind of night-light on, or if I woke up in the night, I really couldn't orient myself in space at all. Very scary feeling.Andria
I can only relate by having laid on the floor and had had to hang on a few times. It was in my reckless youth where certain bottles didn't seem have any bottom. Too scary for me, after the second time I learned a new word... Moderation.Not really... it was while trying to go to sleep that I noticed the problem, not doing anything "TMI" related...

Heh... that's funny to me, because I never had this problem when I drank; I'd drink till I passed out, and never know anything until the morning hatchet-in-the-head woke me. But shortly after getting sober, I started noticing the problem with the waterbed, and also with my husband's full-body-jump-every-3-minutes-while-sleeping.
I even had the "disoriented in space" feeling in the dark on a normal bed, for quite a few years after getting sober, but it's mostly faded now, so I suspect it was just part the healing process, in sobriety -- I didn't drink for too many years, but while I did, my brain was quite used to alcohol as a daily bath.

I probably have at least 500 hours just riding in helicopters. When I worked offshore we would have to ride an hour or more just to get to the platform. The pilot would hover over to the grass for take off and by then I usually was asleep and wouldnt wake up until the change in pitch of the blades on approach to the platform. I hated having to ride in the front seat because then I would have to stay awake and look for traffic or operated the radio's and help navigate. I rather sleep
Kinda like laying in a bed and having to put a foot on the floor to stop the room from spinning. Been there more than a few times
Never got sea sick or anymotion sickness. We have a boat and go out as often as we can. I remember one time going out for a fishing trip with a Gun & Rod club and the sea swells were pretty bad. My buddy and I had started drinking early, well we actually had gone out the night before and then went straight to the dock @ 5am for the trip. 
Needless to say we were feeling no pain.
The swells were 6 to 8 feet high. Everyone else on the boat were hanging over the rail providing the best chum and my buddy and me were reeling them in! Best day I ever had fishing!!!

My hot water system died. 
Thank you for justifying my "need" to have multiples of things that I really likeI have 9
That's an awesome collection - that and all your home-designed gear - you got it going on, girl!

I justify it by saying there are two of us (but he uses vision spinners hahahahaha)
I have collected some great gear (plus my billet boxes, my mechs and a beloved Epm) which I love and use everything in rotation depending on the colour mood I am in.
