An amazing story & rescue! 
Definitely! +1 & ditto!
Mug's point sounds good
I would love to see a beacon at the site of the rescue, 48 hrs of super cruise out
Definitely! +1 & ditto!

Congrats !
Congrats on setting quite the record ! Would be an awful shame if someone were trying to....Break it ....

Ohh.. I thought exactly the same before she broke mine.. she did it in such an epic style that it is hard not to admire
Our own thoughts, thoughts of others.. boost us and push us to our limits.. I thought it'd last forever because nobody is crazy and passionate enough.. well.. I was wrong..

Well, I'm a little behind schedule, but I've finally finished all the repairs.
And now I'm torn - we've been through a lot these past few weeks, so part of me just wants to make a bee line for Colonia and security. But I came out here to explore, and I don't know when I'll next have the chance to make it out this far again.
My first destination at least is clear MYEIA THAA UX-L D7-2. It was my guide star on my mad lunge into the void. It seems fitting that it should now be my first way-point on my homeward journey.
To get there I first have to retrace the last few jumps, some of which require Jumponium, but I'm well stocked. And the largest jump is the next one: 82.7 Ly, so I don't even need to use a level 3 injection.
Here goes - Good-bye Oevasy RG-Y d0, thank you for the precious fuel. I was so glad to have made it here, and I find myself almost reluctant to leave. Perhaps I'll see you again some day.

Hey everyone! Fans of the amazing rescue of Cmdr Persera by the Fuel Rats should check out episode 182 of Lave Radio which features a really excellent interview with Cmdrs Persera, TheUnkn0wn1, ABish and HighwayWarrior.
http://laveradio.com/lave-radio-episode-182/
Fast forward to 53:30. It starts with an excellent advert for the Fuel Rats and then launches straight into the interview.

I'm just gonna say this, epic journey by the Fuel Rats and great story to read and see all over the internet.. And nice to see someone beat the record... But uhm.. I'm currently trekking in supercruise right now in the same area and I aim to beat that record with a specifically engineered Anaconda for this journey.. Fingers crossed that I won't need to call the fuel rats.. I've calculated that I will be traveling for 80-82hrs before needing to jump out for fuel, this is also with a premium FSD injection already injected I am doing 5-7hrs a day doing this and the trip is estimated to take 14-16 days to complete. Will post back here when I'm at the end of that trip hopefully with a massive record to beat
Oh yeah... And I brought the Hutton Mugs with me

Welcome back
.........did you remember how to lower your landing gear?
.........did you remember how to lower your landing gear?
Such an epic tale. I came to it late and read it as history, but it's still pretty impressive. I'm currently somewhere in the Perseus Arm and haven't seen another soul for months. But at least I've got stars to fuel up on ...
Worth adding I've been in the Pilot's Federation for two years, but this thread convinced me to sign up for the forum so I could reply

Welcome Back!
Since my own little adventure I've made some nice upgrades to my Cockpit to coincide with my new Samsung Odyssey mixed reality headset.
Nice! ....... but where's the beer fridge & tea maker?
Were the arms holding the j/stick & throttle originally adjustable arm rests? [edit] Nope, I see their just behind, what were they for originally then?
Very tempted by that chair! Dare I ask, how much?

The mounts are for Monitors and TV's for RV's (because they lock in place with locking knobs)
I 3D printed the adapter (orange) for the X52 to VESA mount.
Attachment to that chair rail was a drilled hole bolt and locknut through the 1/4 in steal arm rest support bracket.
Here's the link to the chair mount. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F2OZ0VM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
here's where you can find thingaverse files of the X52 VESA mount. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2635782
I can easily remove the upper part of the controller and arms by unscrewing the lower articulating connection without any tools.

Very nice job
Btw, RVs? As in big campers?
