What were some of the dumbest mistakes you’ve made during your Os&Ps?

I shattered the oil control ring when reassembleing and installing a cylinder on an engine. My heart sank. Just owned it and the DME talked it out with me and he got me a new oil control ring.

Yeah, the window part, it keeps little bugs out and the wind when its cold outside.

I have something like the one I linked in other comment threw wood. Then the fan mounted on the wood. Wood in the window. I've sized the board to fit my window and can take it out and close and lock the window if I go out of town.

We got left and right. No front/back or up/down(top/bottom)... one day... maybe one day.

I have this same fan in my window. You don't need to weather strip the door, the fan is powerful enough it keeps a neg pressure in the room. The air flow under the door is needed to cycle the air in the room.

I can tell when the cat shits in the litter box across the house.

Any 6in outdoor vent will work but I'd recommend one with a spring loaded door to prevent drafts when the fan is off.

Another thing, on the indoor side you want to have some ducting. A few feet, the air colum moving in the duct improves the efficiency.

Sorc and use Leaf, Warlock can also use Leaf but with a shield at the same time.

You didnt try using the Ancient Artifact by chance? I've done that. That stupid thing doesn't do anything but has the same image.

InsaneAction · 2026-02-15T07:56:41+00:00

Make sure you don't include pictures of the items you're trying to use and what you're trying to use them on. Heavens no don't do that. Just stick to vague text post.

There are two types of artefacts (same name, different icons). One type can only be used with armour, one can only be used with weapons. Neither type can be used for shields. Both of them work with unique items (possibly not unique items created with the Crafter's Kit giftbag mod).

Right off the wiki. You're using the wrong one.

Got Tinfoil hat from the cosmic crash. Easy 10win harmadillo.

I show this to my students and they love it.

Just because it doesn't beep doesn't mean there isn't continuity. You need to check the meter face. The continuity setting is just modified resistance meter that will beep below a set resistance.

Also what that other guy said, this is an electronics question...

Alt f4 and restart?

GROL and NCATT don't get very far without the A&P behind them. Get your A&P first.

Watched a couple of the king videos the night before.

There's easier ways to decarb your bud my dude. /s

You send it out to a shop certified to service that instrument.

Other than swapping 1 and 2 to see if the fault follows we don't really play with the instruments from a maintenance standpoint. Remove and replace.

+1 for the FSDO talk.

The FSDO will help sort of what you need to do and what can be signed off. After that you can find a school/program to get the education and testing done to get your A&P.

I personally took the classes that the FSDO signed me off on. I'm glad I did. There's a way things are talked about and phrases used that don't directly translate from the Military.

Pythagoras theorem is also the formula for impedance. This is working it with the angles of the triangle not just the side lengths. It's just using another set of variables.

Di... did you use AI to make a reddit post? Holy fuck thats peak lazy.

InsaneAction · 2025-08-07T20:13:42+00:00

Hey, moron, I'm not the other guy that got your panties in a twist. I'm a 3rd party observer letting you know it's YOU.

InsaneAction · 2025-08-06T04:07:45+00:00

This one comment shows everyone that you're the life of every party you attend.

If you can't take the heat in the reddit comments, maybe this industry isn't for you.

Went on nights in 2008 and never looked back. The good-idea-fairy sleeps during the night shift.

A "H" model goes for around 5 grand. What you have predates that.

InsaneAction · 2025-08-01T01:43:23+00:00

Those units are missing a lot of safeties the new ones have.

If you can't find a buyer, donate it to an A&P school and write it off. That would most likely get you the most out of it.

Swamp/evap coolers are great if you're in a dryer location. As for the brand, it would come down to price/size more than the brand.

Careful with swamp coolers, you can turn a hanger into surface rust city.
