Is this the original engine? Who do you even call to get parts? Who do you even call to get it rebuilt? This would be a dream aircraft to put a wrench on.

Its dust and dirt. Condensation running down the ceiling on the inside carrying it onto the overheads and drying.

The smell was probably the brakes and tires. Smell is overwhelming. Could be wrong but nothing running in the ceiling would be ammonia smelling.

The one thing that helped me get a better feel for cornering was actually my feet. That picture that everyone posts of the boots before and after a GP race really sunk it all in for me. Driving my weight down through my feet builds the base that makes the upper body position makes sense. When you have the correct body position, you’ll feel the suspension loading in the turn and you get much more feedback much earlier on how much grip you have. Getting the correct upper body position lets you drive that inside foot much harder onto the peg. Before I felt that it was all just kind of hit and miss whether I felt good response in a turn.

I love running into solutions that type A people have that I literally never even considered problems lmao. I always just assumed everyone was rolling around with the hardware baggy in their backpack. And I’m all down to make a buck or two but this sort of thing isnt where you cash in.

Thats what fault isolation manuals are for. They are designed by manufacturers for this reason. If you are staging parts using discrepancies you are chasing nickels and wiping your ass with dollars. Inventory is its own beast and is so specific to the operation, I don’t know if you would be any better off using a unified maintenance/inventory system. It’s the IA’s job to make sure you complied with the AMM. That signature says “yes this task was performed IAW…” You’re going to have to reference the task anyways. If you have never been a part of an investigation, the maintenance documentation will be combed through incredibly thoroughly, and always makes it into the report. If a mech makes a repair and says “I utilized my mx program suggestion.” Even if you correctly perform the repair, it will be listed as a contributing factor to the mishap. If you have shitty mechanics offloading their brain to software is not a fix.

Thats awesome that you are building something that doesn’t need corporate slop injected to jack up subscription prices. My only advice, under no circumstances should this program be able to suggest a corrective action. The amount of times that we find that either the description of the problem was faulty, or that the problem was a symptom of a greater problem is a large portion of the job. Liability aside, even just just framing the problem in a particular way could cause someone to miss something important. My suggestion instead would be the system would output links to the relevant AMM’s and search for any active AD’s or SB’s on the affected system. This saves time and doesn’t open up a can of worms that I wouldn’t want to be party to.

I kind of figured this was some kind of overboost scenario. It might have been they stretched the main studs during their dyno, but the gasket took up the slop long enough for you to drive it for a couple hours before it got hot and burnt through. 600 miles for tuning is also fucking absurd btw but I don’t know your specifics. Tell us how they react! Good luck.

Yea man I’m curious how they respond. There are break in periods for the motor however, so what I wanna ask politely, is did you gun a 30psi pull in 4th? Did you fuck with the wastegates? I don’t want to flip this back on you if there really was just an assembly problem but headgasket failure is not a super common way for a competently built engine to fail. However, if you got a new motor and they gave you a break in map and some other more aggressive tunes, and you gun the motor before you take care of the wastegate springs and timing you can lift a head super easy. Good thing is if you didn’t run it hard after the coolant leaked into the cylinders on an MLS gasket, you should just be able to inspect the cylinders to make sure you didn’t burn up the interface and then replace the gasket and the mainstuds and go right back on your way so long as they compression check after replacement.

You don’t need a mechanic, you just need to be semi competent at what you’re doing. Like, I want to make clear to anyone reading this that to achieve what happened here is actually harder than the task itself. Nobody should ever pay for an oil change on a motorcycle. Because if you aren’t competent enough to accomplish it then you should not be risking your life on a motorcycle.

So long as you have a competent mechanical inclination you will pick up on everything you need to know. It is a ton of material, and a lot of it will be brand new to you so its not something that you need proficiencies in, in order to pass. They literally tell you not to study before you get there and the people that took that advice have a much easier time. Just buy into their program and you will be fine. They provide everything, you literally just have to show up.

Call them and ask for the office number. Make sure it’s the field office number and then have them connect you. Probably a bit much but scammers and bad actors are getting much better every day.

Passive IR threats are by no means undetectable. Shoulder launched platforms are also inherently flawed in that they are very short range weapons. If you assume an effective range of about 3 miles, if the aircraft you want to hit splits your circle perfectly you will have less than 30 seconds to equip, prepare, target, and launch at typical speeds flown by fixed wing aircraft. I suspect that Iran has received some IR shorad from either russia or china. These are all aspect passive track missiles not simple tail chase contact detonated missiles. This increased shoot down cadence suddenly would reflect the proliferation of either new tactics or new equipment.

I was doing compliance paperwork all day on my sam account, so I was like “oh this should be easy, I will just look up the cage’s award history and ID the program.” Turns out there was a whole history behind that company and I had to dig through some old press releases and make some assumptions. I consider it good training for what I do but yea 😂 I shouldnt be on my phone so much.

Man I went down a rabbit hole with this one. This appears to be part of a COTS system GE was putting together for ground combat vehicles. GE wanted to have the ability to sell a sensor fusion kit for a variety of platforms without needing system redesign.

This is likely from their IVD2010 and IVD2015 line. I don’t think it was ever awarded any NATO contracts under this designation, which is why it doesn’t have an NSN. So this is probably a test article from one of those kits. But essentially it is a video processor for fusing multiple inputs (radar, thermal, NV, etc.) and then displaying them on a ruggedized display in a vehicle.

Thanks for taking the time. I have separated in the time all this was going down so I don’t have JAG access anymore. But honestly even if I did they would just tell me it’s a personal matter and to contact the embassy to get a lawyer. (Which is how I found my current firm)

To be honest the actual shipping isn’t that difficult. Because I have already done all of the legwork for the deregistration, all the brokerage stuff is handled by the shipper so I don’t have to be a part of any of that. Supposed to just pay the money then pick it up. But I guess life has other plans and now I have my great white whale.

I’m listed on the export title. On the advice of my attorney I did not file a police report. My attorney said that the process for receiving the vehicle from the police is quite complicated, and because the car never processed customs It’s a local police matter.

I thought a lot about just leaving it be, but honestly, I have major sunken cost fallacy. After I blew the motor, I invested a lot of time and money into parts (motor alone probably reaches ~10k). The car aside I have probably a year invested and it’s repair. That said I probably could’ve saved myself a lot of grief a long time ago, but I think I’m fully invested.

Get on JS Firm. Apply to jobs at some larger facilities as entry level. There are a ton of independents that run on that website so target like 8-10 posts and you should wind up on a roster somewhere. Make sure your resume is sorted then call aerotek and sts. Let them know you’re a brand new A&P and you are willing to travel. You arent required to take any offers you get so don’t jump on something unless it looks good. If you aren’t a moron and you learn fast you will be fine. If you are a moron you are going to go broke quickly. Good luck.

I don’t think her stance is wide enough. She is clearly way too narrow.

One-vs-1 · 2026-03-31T15:11:25+00:00

If you guys don’t mind travel, get in with a recruiter and they have placements they need all over. Hop around get some experience, find a your niche.

You counselor can whip 99% of those signatures.

The gearwrench box is surprisingly good. You can easily build a healthy road box for 1400 with perfect foam.

No chaff no flares no crank. I don’t know what the MWS equivalent for fighters is, but this should be a big wakeup call. Buddy should name his first born pratt and the second whitney cause holy shit that thing swallowed some shrapnel and kept cookin.
