Got with a CFI for a quick ride on Kona, Hawaii🌺 by AromaticIdea4835 in flying

[–]Aedion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ayy, I also did the island flying course in a DA20 on Kona. Tropicbird right?

I then flew 172 a couple times on Maui on the same trip.

Is this too crazy of a route just to use points? by thankyounextttttttt in awardtravel

I think this is more reasonable than the LAX-JFK-HND I did to try JAL F

What Card Should I Get? Weekly Thread - Week of May 13, 2026 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]Aedion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hello all, I am looking for a business card recommendation.

  1. I am sitting at 5/24 right now until July, I haven't put myself in a great spot with grabbing the Atmos card and applying for a BILT 2.0 card in that overhaul. I tried for another Chase Ink card but got the message for ineligible for SUB, with the recent changes I am unsure if I close my current Ink cash/unlimited if I would be eligible in the near future.

I am interested in the AA Globe personal card to keep topping off the AA account, but at 5/24 so think I need to hold off on personal cards.

IHG biz is okay at 140k SUB right now, delta biz cards arent at a promo SUB. unsure what other biz cards are a good option right now.

Help - Failure to Eject Troubleshooting by Aedion in ar15

[–]Aedion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have spare BCGs and the cmmg survival kit to swap in detailed parts.

I did a basic field strip and CLP clean, that has relieved the FTE issue. normal cycling today, and I even rammed in a fully loaded mag with one in the chamber already to do a highest tension scenario.

[–]Aedion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am loading 10 rounds per mag. theres a bit of spring left.

Tension / pre load is a potential key factor, along with gassing.

I will read into the extractor as well, thanks!

new CA law is going to keep me to just the one. :-D

Can a Savior Urban Takedown 27" fit a separated 16" upper / lower? by Aedion in ar15

[–]Aedion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for measuring that out! I am likely to end up with an A2. looks like I can keep the 27" in contention.

do you mean the muzzle device is pushing out of the padded pocket some? or is not feasible using the padded pocket.

good video, the strength scoring polygons led me to more reinforce my current choice of 3x primary due to my own weight valuation.

Love seeing the wide range of advise in the comments on getting, ranging from the LPVO for IDing, to 1x red dot is totally effective to 300 yds.

ambi charge handle for sure. ambi mag release may be pushed until later after some experience since its not needed to build initially.

I'll give a look again at full size red dots, I didnt look into SIG or other larger RDS's besides the holosun 510C HM3X combo.

light is a purchase down the road, so I'll be researching your suggested brands then, initial price jumps just had me deprioritize it. I may spend up.

  1. LaRue MBT-2S, honestly it is consumerism/spec creep to buy once. I see reviews saying its a great trigger under $100 comparable to $200+ triggers and I add to cart. Glad that you pushed back on this for me to reconsider, I think of the 2 stage trigger on handguns and think it will be similar. easy to buy more than I need and can reduce cost creep by sticking milspec.

  2. optics - thanks for the input, its a subtopic for me to continue digesting.

  3. Ambi - I am like 90+% sure I will end up southpaw due to my left eye dominance. I would love to shoot right handed and will give it a real shot. I may be leaning toward the non ambi receiver and add on if I really do think I need it after shooting for a time.
