 So on this, the valves are a slow open, slow close, okay? On intention. They feather themselves open, feather themselves closed. So when I start, I’ll come to a full… I, you don’t need to feather it open, okay? So you open it, ’cause it’s gonna do that for you. Open it all the way in this kind of motion. I would have actually come back to the right and started extending all at the same time. It’s not gonna start coming left until I clear the safety zone. So it’s gonna come up. I’m already moving, so as soon as it clears that, it’s gonna start going, okay? It’s not gonna extend any further than the zone it’ll allow it. So it just allows me to get that motion going quickly. I think one of the biggest things you’ll learn as you start to work with this is use as many of the functions simultaneously as possible. I reserve a lot of the feather action for changing my speed, okay? I’m going full on towards the window, and then I’ll bump it into turtle mode, and then do my final feather. If you ever get to a point where you feel like you’re surging, you’ve started to feather at high speed, okay? And you’ve got it right at that point where the valve is going, “Did he just call for me to open or close?” And it does this, and you start to get this surge, okay? Back out of it or fully open that, that valve, and it’ll smooth out of it. I use speed a lot for that fine-tune, and then, yeah, you can feather it so nicely that you’ll flip a quarter off the edge of something if you want to. So that’s just kinda little, little tricks that I like to use when I’m putting away and I get within that 20-20-20. As you’re getting close, I get my finger on that button already where I expect the envelope picture to show up of the auto bed. If I’m already on there and I swing into it and it pops up, I can just let go of the control, and it’s gonna keep bringing it in. Just ways to be smooth, okay? Community just let you buy a really nice, expensive truck. Look good doing it.
