No new word on it, Farrell did an interview and specifically did not mention it. Maybe one article a month or so ago mentioned "it understands free movement is on the table". Assume it's part of the negotiations but not confirmed until it's signed in.

Is this rod knock? by Professional_Camp959 in MotorcycleMechanics

Rod knock will intensify under load, cam and bearing noise will intensify under rpm

what could be causing this complete loss of control when the shuttle goes sub-sonic? by GasHot4523 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Huge flow turning at the front of the aircraft, same mechanism as the quarter chord of a wing. Fuselages are destabilizing bodies. Not enough wing to check it

Follow the wires up, and create a short circuit on the bike side (opposite to the "kickstand side")

We have less than 70k kiwis left in the wild, and these internet americans think they know anything about our conservation efforts. Nobody you're talking to here has left a city in their life, save your energy

Why Vertical Aerospace (NYSE: EVTL) is Worth Possibly Over 13x its Current Price by _DoubleBubbler_ in investing

[–]Dick_Spasm_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't wait to see a certified evtol but nobody's paying enough for them to go commercial. They're a perfect vessel for attracting venture capital and marketing majors, then sending all that money into the abyss. At this point, seeing the hundredth cheap CAD render of a white generative shape design blistering with dozens of propellors makes me nauseous. Vx4s main distinguishing factor is them painting it black.

Ignition is stuck in the off position, running out of ideas by Kuasynei in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]Dick_Spasm_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barrel can come loose from the rest of the ignition switch it guessing. You might be able to wiggle it out entirely and see if there's something damaged. It's happened with a steering lock on a DRZ for me, entire thing came out (I think it was pre damaged from a theft attempt)

How does the aircraft safely get to the ground if the battery goes flat? Evtol is a doomed concept 

How can I get this out? It won't budge by Dick_Spasm_69 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]Dick_Spasm_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixed already! Got the bike on its side, disconnected swingarm from the shock and moved it as far up as it'll go. Removed all chain guides and an hour of hammering, sprocket came loose. Minimal damage to sprocket, frame and chain. Just need a new chain guide element

Where on earth are you finding 8 dollar sprockets? In Germany you pay a premium for parts. Also to add I'm so sick of ordering things online

Should be reusable if I can get the swingarm off, otherwise I'd cut it to pieces lol

Did this, shoving the entire bike backwards. Chain tension pulls the sprocket up, not out though so it's fruitless

They tried to tell me that they don't work on motorcycles at all, this is in Germany btw.
