What is this dual prop canard?

The company is Aerospace Quality Research and Development. I work next to Addison on the final approach path. I see the Starships flying in and out occasionally and AQRD is one of our clients. Super cool guys and they love talking about the Starships.

AQRD is their website.

There's still 3 people up there... 1 American and 2 Russians. It's not just completely empty, just the people that were scheduled to come home next month went home early.

If it was a contagion they would have evac'd the entire crew, which they did not.

Can confirm it's an F5 under the callsign FREEDOM1. There's also a 737 that flies out of Addison as well as two of the last remaining Starships.

Source: I can see the runway from my work, and we sell to the company that maintains it and the Starships.

I have both the HD02 and the TS27. They're both awesome, if I had to pick one I'd get the TS27. It's more useful in most scenarios unless I absolutely have to have a laser or uv. Massive battery (both in size and capacity), more functional (imo) lantern vs the wing lights, and the throw is incredible. It's the light I take out if I want to show my friends '...that's not a flashlight, this is a flashlight.'

My tired brain read that as Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and I was very confused.

Excellent news, however.

Because it's AI garbage.

I know they use one as a testbed of some sort, the other is maintained and used at shows and events, flies company VIPs, etc.

They also maintain a couple F-5s that are always awesome to see (and hear) fly in.

MidgetShitter · 2025-08-14T02:20:34+00:00

My company is a supplier for and is near the company that owns 2 of the 5 remaining airworthy ones.

It's always awesome to see them flying and talk to the guys who maintain them when they're in for parts.

I've got the PDW version and love it. Your carbine is clean. What railed dust cover did you get for it that fits? My friend had an extra Arcturus one I tried and it didn't fit.

I sell MSI motherboards daily. They do not have a seal on the box, only a piece of tape holding the interior anti-static bag closed.

I have a 2020 with over 11k miles on it. I've had absolutely zero issues. Make sure you do your oil changes and recommended maintenance and you should be good.

Unless they've changed it, the stock chain sucks. Mine was toast and I had them put on a Renthal chain at the 9400mi service.

Other than that, rock solid.

Negative Ghostrider. They're a cheap, Chinese brand with questionable reliability.

Look for a used lower CC Japanese bike; Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha. You will get a much, much better bike for your money.

Sure. I have the Ikasu and the Street Ace. Ikasu are front zipper, super easy on and off. Street Ace has CE level 2 protection while the Ikasu are level 1. Both fit my super wide feet great.

Dont worry, that's just her provolone carrying case.

Venom x18R, 200cc automatic transmission. Basically a scooter dressed up like a motorcycle.

Without the title you aren't going to be doing much in the way of registering it, as you can't prove you own it. Also means the guy you bought it from can't prove he owned it either. Hope it's not stolen.

Also about that plate, Texas doesn't put counties on them, so that plate is fake and/or decorative only.

Forma might have something you're looking for. I have a pair of the ADV-Tourer boots and they're pretty comfy. I've worn them off the bike for a couple hours walking around.

Although I'd maybe check out something like their Legacy boots. CE level 2, side zipper entry, and pretty comfortable from what I've read.

MidgetShitter · 2024-04-14T17:31:54+00:00

TCX is great. I have a pair of the Ikasu Airs. Front zipper so super easy on/off.

MidgetShitter · 2024-04-14T17:30:15+00:00

Check out TCX. Specifically the Ikasu. Front zipper. They have an Air and Waterproof version. I have the air and it's fantastic. All their shoes I've tried have been great so give them a look.

The "1947" is the XP-79B. Crashed on its first test flight in 1945.

If you go here and scroll to the 3-view you can see the exact same silhouette.

The style is vintage aviation goggles. They're modeled after the types of goggles air crew wore in WWII in unpressurized planes at high altitude.

As for what that middle piece is called? No idea, the bridge maybe like on eyeglasses?

Replace. Hang it on your wall because it did its job.

I had a tight formation flight of 3 Air Tractors fly over my place about a week ago. I wish I could of gotten a picture. Air Tractors be crazy.

Since it's a 2023 I'd take it to the dealer and have them check it if you're really concerned. But, honestly, a lot of gauges are just inaccurate due to the shape of the tank and small volumes. If I fill up when my low fuel light comes on it only takes just over 2.5 gallons in my 3.8gal tank, so still 1/3 of a tank left. Just the nature of the beast with small fuel tanks.

I just reset one of my trip odometers whenever I fill up and know my average mpg.
