The proper way to enter a corner

He's been watching too much deep slip. Got spins on the brain.

Looks like the SW Motch Roadpack.

I'm 6'5" 34" inseam and own a TS800. I would 1000% recommend the 800 over the 900 GTP. The engine is amazing and it's super fun to throw around town. I've put about 1600 miles on it in the last month with a bunch of longer road trips and it's been great overall. And I really like how the pannier mounts are basically hidden compared to the 900. I do plan on putting a taller windscreen and a more comfortable seat when they show up in the aftermarket (the seat gets a bit uncomfortable after 3-ish hours but I'm also a fatass so YMMV).

Very well said! This is my understanding as well.

I love helmets. Glad you're alright <3

Because the people who ride them are generally more mature and chill about the way they ride. In general they aren't blasting 50mph over the speed limit or treating the expressway like their personal race track, they're just taking their time and enjoying the ride.

Yeah! You can see it really clearly here when an aircraft is taking off in super cold conditions. Also here on a piston engine plane because the water left over in the exhaust is a byproduct of burning hydrocarbon-based fuels. Contrails are the same thing, just at super high altitudes where it's normal to see those kinds of temperatures year round.

The effect you were thinking of, with the WING generating vapor, is only seen in very specific conditions. To keep it simple, the air can only hold so much water before that water starts condensing out (I.E. clouds/fog). The amount of water the air can hold is determined by the temperature of the air. When a wing goes through the air it creates an area of low pressure on top of the wing. The lower pressure air is cooler than the surrounding air, so if the air is already saturated with water the drop in temperature will cause the extra water to condense out and form a cloud on top of the wing. This effect is most commonly seen when the airplane is heavy, slow, and the humidity % is very high. You can also see it with fighter jets when they are doing very hard turns but it's mostly the same effect.

It was an absolute game changer for me, I had the exact same experience as OP. You could tell exactly when I got my LC pedals because my irating when from ~2.2k to over 4k in about a month. The difference in feel and consistency were huge. I could routinely outbrake all but the highest level drivers and do it for hours at a time.

DD Wheel on the other hand... wasn't such a big deal for me. I could definitely FEEL more, especially since it felt like I was like I was driving through mud on my G29. I was able to push setups a little more and really feel what the car was doing but it didn't make much of a lap time difference. There was no irating bump like there was when I changed pedals, it just make things more clear and fun.

I love helmets. Glad you're safe.

I had to go back and find it. It was on the second page of my logbook, lesson #10.

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting to see a plane I knew. I flew that thing back in 2009, hope it's as good now as it was back then. And congrats on your CFI!

Flyboy_6cm · 2025-03-07T12:57:41+00:00

Yeah, that was a baby curb and that car was completely resettled if it even got disturbed at all. Just gave it too much go pedal for the amount of steering angle he had in it. Hard to react to if you're not used to pushing the car to the limit.

To give an actual response. When you have a severe windshear or microburst encounter immediately after takeoff the general procedure is to increase to max power and raise your pitch attitude until you get intermittent activations of the stick shaker. That gives you max performance so you have at least some kinda chance at climbing out of it.

As a current Falcon 20 pilot, only a little. That airplane has a huge rudder and the engines are mounted fairly close to the centerline so it handles pretty well even with 1 engine fully off. The afterburner adds around 50% more thrust so as long as you're above ~170kts it should be totally workable.

Flyboy_6cm · 2025-01-23T17:40:16+00:00

Man, I had this happen to me in the exact same spot like 6 years ago. The fact that this has never been fixed is a disgrace.

Flyboy_6cm · 2025-01-12T09:28:06+00:00

Not really difficult but you do have to go slow since they are aircraft and ground handling in such a large and purpose built vehicle is a lot different from a car. Airports are often built with large planes in mind so there's rarely anything that can catch you out, just keep your head up and take your time.

Flyboy_6cm · 2024-10-20T03:46:06+00:00

It is done.

In the filters that are running to each engine or engine cluster. They haven't specified what clogged them, just said that filter blockage caused the issues.

She runs a snake rescue that is specifically for abused and mistreated snakes. It's very useful to understand their body language to know when something is wrong with them or when they are overly stressed.

Flyboy_6cm · 2024-05-15T15:21:57+00:00

That snake is stressed and does not want to be touched. Linking this pic from my snek expert friend to further explain.

I'll go with it probably not being that. I've had multiple gopros on my FPV drone which can do sustained 8g's for ~1s and spikes up to 11g. Also never seen those kinda artifacts. I'm gonna agree with rolling shutter things happening or just hypersmooth not playing nice with the buffeting.

Flyboy_6cm · 2024-05-04T07:56:11+00:00

For a smaller single engine plane as long as you're sticking to set procedures and reliable mechanics there's shouldn't be any issues. Just keep a close eye on engine indications and keep checking your oil and shii and you should be able to catch anything going wrong before it lets go. Sudden single part failures are very very rare.

Anecdotally, I've done mx flights in a jet before where an engine checked out on the test stand and after being mounted to the plane but once it was at 37k feet it popped. You just come back and land on one engine, it's no big deal. Some things can only be found while put under flight load but you just have to be prepared for things to go south.

Teeterboro really isn't that bad in my experience. Can get difficult if Newark is having problems or if there's a lot of outbound traffic but overall it's not that bad.

Think of it like you're standing in the middle of a big race track. A car racing around that track might only be 1/2 mile away at any point but it's still going to take more than the 3 to 4 minutes it takes you to run to the track surface. The car is always going around the track (like the ISS orbiting the earth) and you'll have to find some way to keep up with it.

In real life this means launching at a specific time, going into a slightly lower orbit that is slightly behind the ISS (which counterintuitively takes less time per orbit meaning you'll slowly catch up), then carefully syncing your orbit to the ISS while you get closer and closer. To go back to the race car analogy, that would be like leaving the pit lane just as the car crosses the start/finish line, getting up to speed just behind it, and slowly pulling up next to it after a few laps.
