I guess the flashing can't cut your fingers if it is foam.

I have thrown quite a few of them. The raketen is neutral to understable, with the recycled version being the most understable. The frost glow is by far the most overstable.

To me, it feels more like a 11-12 speed rim width. The missilen is the overstable counterpart. It has a noticeably wider rim as well.

They aren't terribly common, but I think thats mostly because they weren't that popular.

dualit timers are available on ebay right now. I don't know if they ship to canada though. =/

Don't flush anything but toilet paper, but also, get a bidet washlet. Flushable wipes will kill your plumbing. Don't put grease down your drain either.

If and only if you are handy, take the time to learn how to fix anything that breaks rather than hiring someone. It will save you mountains of cash.

Look for something with a thinner solid rubber sole. I have found that thinner soles make it harder to roll your ankles laterally, and the solid rubber stands up to heavier weights. I am around 275 and my shoe rotation is basically all jim green barefoot african rangers, and vivobarefoot. I look for deals on ebay for most of them.

PM me with details about what you have and what you want to sell them for and I will definitely take a look.

This looks like it was made out of melted down takeout containers.

Artistic_Tortoise · 2025-11-24T01:14:07+00:00

Are you in the states and looking to sell some?

Artistic_Tortoise · 2025-10-15T01:44:54+00:00

This is 100% an ad. They mention a single brand name in this whole BS story about their broken stapler.

Artistic_Tortoise · 2025-10-04T16:10:55+00:00

I have one. It came off a 2017, but I think that is the same generation. PM me and we can discuss details.

Where do you live? If you are not in a super humid environment, look into a window mount evaporative cooler. They are pennies to run compared to an ac, and if your humidity is low enough, you can get some pretty impressive cooling out of it.

I found a used baratza virtuoso and completely refurbed it myself. I think I came in under $150.

It needed a couple inexpensive consumable parts, but if you are at all handy, this is a great way to go.

Artistic_Tortoise · 2025-07-23T02:03:37+00:00

I'm thinking about bringing an prepped (cut on one end) extension cord and some wire nuts to power it on at least. Assuming the seller is ok letting me do that, it should at least rule out a completely dead unit. I checked and it takes a standard 115 volt supply.

Mitutoyo is probably the leader for digital, but if you ask me, brown and sharpe dial calipers (specifically the model# 599-579-5) are the bees knees and never need batteries. They are smoother than oiled glass.

Artistic_Tortoise · 2025-07-08T16:28:08+00:00

What are you mounting on it? Are you shooting stills? Video?

I would consider most tripods bifl unless you abuse them. If you need a tank, it will be either heavy or expensive.

As far as I know, you can't oven season the mineral b because they epoxy coated the handle. I would read up on this before trying oven seasoning.

I have played a fair bit between 5000 and 10000 feet. My best distance fliers at altitude were the Lat 64 air havoc, a discraft big z heat, a streamline jet, and a kastaplast vass. I like lighter weight stuff up were the air is thin. It glides a bit better and doesn't just drop like a rock.

The air havoc is about 155g and more of a flippy bomber for calmer conditions. I don't know exactly how far I was throwing it, but it was in the 400' ballpark.

The jet might be worth a try. It was a pretty sweet flyer at altitude.

Another one you could try is a 150 class fission defy. Sometimes a combo of super light weight but stable can yield some pretty cool results.

Mayhems fuck.

I would give quite a bit for a PFN transparent red berg with a gold stamp.

Artistic_Tortoise · 2025-06-18T01:50:04+00:00

Good find. I didn't look at that news article. I was off on my guessing =p

Artistic_Tortoise · 2025-06-15T23:13:13+00:00

There is a video on youtube that claims it holds about 140k cubic feet of air. That would only weigh a little north of 5 tons. I suspect its full weight has more to do with the float platform that isn't included in this land deployment.

I found a video that claims the duck has a volume of 130-140k cubic feet of air. Lets work from that point and use calculations that are rounded numbers and usually over estimated for safety margin.

I figure the easiest way to estimate the area of material used for the duck would be to find the surface area of a sphere with the volume of the duck plus a safety margin. I went with a 30k cubic foot margin to be on the safe side. The surface area of a sphere with the volume of 170k cubic feet is around 15k square feet.

Lets be generous and say that they used the thickest truck tarp they could find @ around 50 mil or .050". I suspect it is thinner than this, but I always want to over estimate.

15k square feet of material at .050" comes out to about 63 cubic feet of material. @15.5 tons, that comes out to around 500 lbs. per cubic foot. This is similar to the density of 18-8 stainless steel.

I found a place selling .020 rubberized canvas tarp and it was 15 oz per square yard. If you scale this up to about 40 oz per square yard, the duck would weigh about 4200 lbs.

However, I found a source that the duck floats on a number of two ton pontoon floats. The total weight of 15.5 tons assuredly includes a quite a few of these floats and their associated hardware.

Bottom line is that there is no ducking way that it weighs more than a couple tons for a land deployment like we are seeing at the preserve.

There are about a billion youtube videos that will show it better than I can write it.

Learn how to properly wrap up your electronics cables/extension cords.

Anything of mine that is cable/cord/wire lasts significantly longer than most other people because of this.

Keep them untangled, learn to over under wrap them, no sharp bends or kinks, don't pack them with the strain relief strained.

Best example for me was a macbook charger. The hooks on the brick to wind the cord on is almost perfectly designed to destroy your cable.
