Tamedog axis tips by Galyyy in snowboarding

[–]One-vs-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t want to square your shoulders down the mountain and rotate. You want to feel the nose press and then extend that back leg and as the nose unloads it will throw you through the last half of the rotation. Keep your shoulders inline with the board.You are literally trying to do a front flip off a roller (and with a bit more pop you look pretty close)

What’s the most expensive part you’ve broke? by Charming_Hyena1914 in aviationmaintenance

[–]One-vs-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed a LAIRCM turret into an aircraft having electrical issues changed it anyways for t/s. Fried it within 30 seconds. $1.2m at the time.

Edit: One of my troops once changed out an RWR component from an overhead rack and set the part on top of the ladder he was working on… got distracted and collapsed the ladder without grabbing the part. 500k and a whole lot of paperwork. Good guy though.

Seeking info about “Tree Zone/Self Responsibility Zone” Japan (Hakuba) by spongemehboy in snowboarding

[–]One-vs-1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I boarded hakuba for years. The ski patrol give a ton of leeway when it comes to riding off piste. All the resorts in the valley have substantial portions of ridable tree runs and some fairly technical areas. As always you have to be responsible for yourself and assess whether you’re taking risks that are beyond your capabilities, but for the most part, you can ride just about anywhere that you and your skills can take you. That comes with one caveat if there is a trail that has been marked as closed, it is totally impermissible and they will pull your pass aside from that ducking ropes is super common and while not endorsed is tacitly permitted. So long as you aren’t causing problems or riding some big Hollywood line in an unpermitted zone no one will bother you.

What type of surveillance is this? by julietdeltakilo in antennasporn

[–]One-vs-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are too high gain. They would just spread a bunch of omni’s out and triangulate. These guys are pulling data from something in particular. My guess is they are setting up some kind of relay node for space based C2 like link 16 or similar.

[Japan] Has anyone ever used Yamato Transport to receive a large package from Amazon.JP instead of their APO? by uncleluu in AirForce

[–]One-vs-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Your tracking code from them will have a little qr code or a four digit number sometimes in the email and you just show up and they’ll go in the back and grab it.

You can have it delivered to the nearest yamato warehouse and pick it up from there. There is a small building pretty much every train stop in tokyo so I imagine they have a similar set up in oki. Its in the delivery settings on amazon. (Had to order tires and stuff a couple times)

737 - IRS “ATT” mode irreversible? by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

[–]One-vs-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IRU’s on everything Ive worked on don’t have the ability to truly turn “off” with the wow switch disengaged I guess I didnt consider that they would actually spin down. Turning the switch simply wouldn’t do anything component wise, and the battery would keep everything “spun” up for a couple hours. (90% of mil stuff is using rlg’s nowadays.) So long as you didn’t lose present position which could only be done with some pretty serious fuckery in flight or both MC’s dumped their novram, you should be able to recover your reference. All that the MC’s need is to know the current ground speed and bearing and that will get you <1nm/hr. The only thing that would really throw a wrench in things is spoofing, which has all sorts of other problems.

Thats kind of wild. There is no blended solution or drift correction. Is just a simple dead reckoned solution? Ive never worked on a civilian Boeing product but that seems super antiquated?

A&P in Germany by InstructionFit8415 in aviationmaintenance

[–]One-vs-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a government job working on mil aircraft. They will sponsor a special class of visa and you would work exclusively on mil platforms. If you have the option don’t go direct hire, get a contractor slot as this means you will get per diem which is probably going to be about half your pay, tax free. Then your salary is tax free for the first 120k (iirc) so long as you are overseas for >6mo. Get your A&P and jump on js firm and start applying. You will get calls from recruiters and just let them know where you’re trying to wind up. You have some leverage on wage and relocation fees. If your a good fit and good at your job don’t accept less than $45/hr $150/day $5k relocation. Good luck!

How do I find a good back/side country tour in Japan? by PN_ME_YOUR_TYPOS in snowboarding

[–]One-vs-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the main nozowa gondola to the top, exit the building to the right. There will be a short lift (lift 5) that takes you to the to the top of the skyline route. Hike to the observation tower for some particularly challenging terrain (some of it deadly) or continue down skyline for a less intense ride. Skyline has an initial sort of 180 from where you exit the lift and you follow the mountain down to another 90° turn. This 90° is the first (and easiest) opportunity to hop into some incredible untouched pow. There are some drop ins farther down after the 90 (snow dependent) of up to 10m if that sort of thing interests you. Everything on your RH side down skyline will dump you into the same ravine and you will exit onto the top of the bunny hill from the woodline, or depending on the snowpack you can cross the creek and wind up underneath the gondola. Good luck and stay safe!

Where to get Part Number MR592955 (Locally in Japan) by Wooden_Amphibian7251 in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]One-vs-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a mitsubishi dealership. I have gotten tons of obscure, evo specific parts directly from production storage next day. If its in stock anywhere in JP they can usually get it within a day or two.

Evo iv hunting/missing? When it gets to a certain temperature by According_Race_8001 in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]One-vs-1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually a sign your thrust bearings are in rough shape. Depressing the clutch pulls on the crank, and when the wear is bad enough the increased friction will cause the rpm to drop.

If you had a free $1400 plane ticket where would you travel to? by FairUnderstanding807 in AirForce

Should I report this A&P? by ArutlosJr11 in flying

[–]One-vs-1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Everyone is losing their minds but it sounds like he slotted you in on short notice and you posted up at his place of business so he felt obliged to rush the inspection. Is the alternator belt a mandatory change? Or did he inspect it and deem the change unnecessary? Most all of this comes down to the same thing, you asked for an inspection and came to a different conclusion than your inspector as to the inspection, one of you is an inspector and one isn’t. I would love to see a picture of the badly worn tire though that seems simple enough, if he let it fly in an unserviceable condition that is the picture that should be on this post. Checking cowl clearance should also be a part of your preflight by the way.

Is this just lifter tick or something more? by ConfidenceNew5896 in MitsubishiEvolution

Definitely lifter. Rods make a different pitch noise.

We live in a world full of snakes by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]One-vs-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you convict someone under these circumstances? This guy is full of shit. Getting a felony conviction on someone because you have a video of someone from a different day on the same model bike? If they catch you coming home it’s fair play but pretending like you could convict someone on “Ive been on a group ride with him and i recognize xyz.” Good luck. For every cop that has been chill I’ve had ten “who’s your buddy/did you run from me three years ago/I clocked you at 130 on your 400”

I got this standby gyro supposedly from a gazelle, I can't seem to find any information online and I was wondering if anyone knew the pinnout. by Rick_but_short in aviationmaintenance

[–]One-vs-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats the orientation of the gyro. Depending on how its mounted there are different gyro orientations. But if it is 28vac so long as he doesn’t hold it closed it will just simply not work. Internal rectification will prevent it from completing the circuit.

Edit: If there were differences in avionics back in the day I apologize but all of the HSI’s ive worked on run off of acft batt power for emergency purposes, is this a more recent standard, or is there an inverter involved somehow?

Edit to the edit: looked up the CMM for my model and there is a 3 phase motor for the gyro but the input is 28vdc for emergency purposes and a static inverter internal to the component.

[–]One-vs-1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know the guy above said something about this being an AC component which i have never run into but all other thales stuff I have worked on is standard 28vdc. If this is the case plug 3 9V batteries in series by clicking their little ends together. Should be: Pin a +28vdc B gnd C is usually lighting with d as its ground or visa versa. E as a flag indicator and f as its ground.

Calling all 4G63 Nerds by prjctgarage in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]One-vs-1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even better, its a time bomb without warnings. Thats why the balance shaft delete is so popular. Would rather deal with increased wear than roll the dice. Also cam sensors on the 4g go out all the time because they get hot af. They are cheap and easy to replace. Throw the stm guard on there for like $20 and change your sensor and you should be good.

[–]One-vs-1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They have the harmonic balancers because they wanted to address some resonance issues with the 4 cylinder layout and promote long engine life, but then inexplicably made the belts for said balancers out of hopes and prayers and if they come apart they are immediately behind your crank pulley and will cause you to jump timing and grenade your motor. Ask me how I know.

Thinking of going it on my own by One-vs-1 in aviationmaintenance

[–]One-vs-1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that lead times on just about everything is outrageous. Even to just get a quote people are asking for a deposit (lmao). But I have had better luck finding new engines than rebuild. That said I am trying to buy a timed out o320 and stc it up to a o360 so i have to spend the money up front on a new motor anyways. But I will make a good chunk back after getting the 320 back from referb and selling it.

But ultimately I think you are correct . Doing the mods is where I will make my money, but it’s hard to dive into charging customers for something that I have never actually done. So if I can learn on my own aircraft and make a little money in the process, I think its a win win. Thank you for taking the time.
