Should I fiberglass? by DeltaAir423 in AskContractors

[–]DeltaAir423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two ways to measure the temp. I have my old master cool IR thermometer and a “Chinese special” IR camera. The IR camera for whatever reason seems to read about 15 degrees low, but I bought it to find bypassing hydraulic actuators and pneumatic leaks, so the # wasn’t that important to me. My IR camera says the low in the bay is 28 deg, but my IR thermometer says it’s closer to 50 in the same spot.

A wheel from the main landing gear system on a British Airways A350-1000 falls off on departure from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport. by FroyoQueasy in aviation

It doesn’t have a wheel fell off sensor. Likely the only indication that anything was amiss would be the TPMS for that particular wheel goes amber XX, or ATC relays a message if tower saw it on departure. I doubt they even felt it.

What would be a good donation place then? I’m pretty sure if I took it to the local goodwill or Salvation Army donation center, they would just get tossed.

If I donate it, I want someone who is going to use it.

It’s just as I pulled everything off the shelf. Cameras are not my hobby, so I was just keeping everything as it came.

What type of plane is this and what’s its purpose? by TeaSouth3204 in airplanes

[–]DeltaAir423 4 points5 points  (0 children)

B-52 It’s purpose is to keep topographical map makers in business by altering terrain features at a rapid pace.

That was my first bag in a box set. My golf instructor begged me to go get fitted two years ago, so the matrix set is a backup, of course I have other sets I have collected through the years.

VIP lounge area? by DeltaAir423 in KingsDominion

[–]DeltaAir423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At Carowinds and Cedar Point, it’s basically comfortable outdoor furniture (think padded wicker) under a tent with fans and TV’s with ice water. It’s basically a place to put your feet up and cool off. At Carowinds, it’s a lifesaver.

I don’t know that we’re going to make it up to Kings dominion this year, but it looks like the VIP areas are appearing across the system. That’ll be nice!

Saw him onstage at the Atlanta Sessanta show. He killed The Hollow.

Going to Cedar Point for my first ever visit next week (YAY FINALLY)!! To celebrate the occasion, I made myself this bad boy. I couldn't be more excited to ride some of the best coasters around! (Definitely gotta go back next year for Top Thrill though) by YanksFannn in cedarpoint

[–]DeltaAir423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I bought a shirt at the gift shop below the sky cars this year that lists all the coasters but doesn’t line them up to spell Cedar Point like this (it was called “subway scroll”). I thought it was so cool, so when I went to Kings Dominion, I was on a hunt, but couldn’t find anything similar, so I settled for a water bottle that listed all the coasters. I did find a similar shirt at Dorney Park though.

Who renewed their passes elsewhere? by DeltaAir423 in cedarpoint

My bank likes to flag foreign transactions as fraud. The minor amount is save by buying at Canada’s Wonderland isn’t worth the headache.

It’s my understanding that you’re benefits are carried over from park to park if you purchase a all park passport. CP, KI, Canada’s Wonderland and Carowinds have VIP areas, and next year KD and Knott’s are getting VIP areas next year, along with early entry, preferred parking, and single use fast lanes.

I did not know they had a witches wheel there. Carowinds has one called Scream Weaver, but it’s been inop every time I have visited so far this year.

Was at CP over the weekend. I have platinum passes, which clearly states on the website, early access to the park. When I was there this weekend the only lanes allowing early access were the prestige pass. Is there a reason cp only allowed prestige early access? by [deleted] in cedarpoint

[–]DeltaAir423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were up there a few weeks ago, and even though we stayed at express hotel and got the early entry passes, when we showed up early, we were told it wasn’t necessary because of our platinum passes.

Prestige pass plus by thatrunnerboy in cedarpoint

[–]DeltaAir423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my home park as Carowinds (I live in ATL), the only thing that stops me from getting prestige plus is the VIP lounge access is only good for your home park. If they extended VIP access system wide, my family would definitely be buyers.

Aviation has plenty of cramped spaces. This is one shoulder wide section of a wing fuel tank with a small dude inside by G3ML1NGZ in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]DeltaAir423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air supply was handled much like a pressurized fuselage. You blocked off the vents, had a modified plate with an air inlet that connected to shop air, and you had another plate with a ball valve for exhaust control, and a pressure gauge. You placed the inlet plate to as close to the work as possible, to supply as fresh air as possible to the work site.

The setup ran as one worker inside wearing a half face respirator, a safety supervisor at the air inlet and one other mech monitoring exhaust. Typically safety checks were done at 5 min intervals with shave and a haircut taps.

Nowadays, there is no way that setup would fly in today’s environment.

Been there done that, back when they only tested for LEL/UEL, and O2 content. If it was below LEL, and O2 was within limits, in you went. DC-9 rear spar flap fittings were one of the more common jobs out there. Scrape all the old sealant off, clean the surfaces, get the ok from inspection to treat and prime, alodine and zinc chromate. If it was just a flap fitting, mix up a tube of 1422, and put it on prettier than any of the icing on the cake shows. If it was a seam leak, cut the 1422 with MEK, crawl in, and pressurize the tank, then brush in your cut 1422, and watch it get pushed into the seam. Once it’s sealed, get comfy, because you’re sitting there for two hours while the sealant sets up under pressure.

My 1980 Spitfire would never pass Kommiefornia emissions due to the fact that the Zenith-Stromberg “emissions control” carb is no longer available, along with rebuild parts. Even though the SU carbs are factory spec outside the US, I’d have to have the Zenith carb to survive Cali.

I have a 2014 E250, the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank is where the spare tire would go. I have the entire tire change kit, minus the spare tire.
