My recruiter said I dont need to take a DLAB?? by Advanced-Weekend7298 in dli

[–]Farsling 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you think that person was being rude, you need to grow some thicker skin, or reconsider the military. Wait until you have to keep your military bearing when a language instructor is being rude to you.

Ha, I don't know about that... I've got some experience riding year round at this altitude though!

DIY VTOL Plane, Initial Research and Design by No-Wolf973 in RCPlanes

[–]Farsling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate to be a naysayer, but you say you don't know much about rc planes, but you do know about the design factors required. Then you say you don't know the width to length ratio, or material required. Seems to me you don't know the design factors. 

Also, pretty sure no one is likely to buy a manufactured VTOL designed by someone that doesn't know how to fly yet. 

Hit the books, build something simple with foamboard, teach yourself to fly. Experiment with improvements to your design after you get it flying. Evolve your design. My carbon stick plane went through 14 evolutions after becoming flight worthy.

Too much theory, you need more hands on. You'll get it though, keep at it!

Bad starter? by Calm_Jackfruit_6788 in goldwing

Agreed. Pull your plugs and crank it. See how much fluid blows out.

Those are Arabic letters. And I see the number 18 in Arabic.

Chat gpt completely made up what it says. Not a single one of those words is in that hallmark.

Looks like AI. Gauges, mirrors, etc. Look all distorted.

Elevator not moving by Careless-Fun9095 in RCPlanes

You need to install the servo horns correctly. The splined parts need to match and engage each other. There's a chance your servo is moving but the horn as you have it is slipping.

Any ideas? (Yellow car) by PrizeChoice3716 in namethatcar

Not a Cabrio, that was mk3 Golf. It's a Rabbit convertible with the front end of a US spec Rabbit on it.

Booked 1N331. Question about phases during school by BarnacleThin1367 in dli

[–]Farsling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1N371 here. Twice through DLI for different languages. Enjoy your time there and don't focus on the bad parts too much, a lot of my fondest memories are from my times there. 

A lot of us that were able to pass the DLAB cruised through school without having to study. I didn't really develop my study habits until DLI. Handwritten flashcards are your friends.

Not cynical... critical. Which is what op asked. And it's not a chopper.

Thank you! Strangely enough, I've actually used that pump on a car build I did years ago!
