Staying out of the hospital should be a primary goal, no matter what the activity.
I avoid using chainsaw and other tools that can cause serious injuries as much as I can until the current crisis ends for exactly that reason.

Repeat hourly for best results.
More art by me, continuing my “art is therapy” vibe. About 20+ hours over 5 days for this one, and this is the 50% scale version. Photoshop again, no tricks or filters just penwork.

I managed to successfully land the Cessna 172 without crashing or damaging it, which is a good start. The landing was a bit awkward, though, as I wound up weaving down the runway. Having a three-axis joystick instead of a proper yoke and rudder pedals can make both ground handling and in-air turn coordination a bit tricky.
