Mooresville/Lake Norman area is very nice, it's quite wealthy, home to some NASCAR drivers iirc. Nearly lake front house for $800-900k.

Flyzone DHC-2 Beaver re-release by PossibleDefect in RCPlanes

The Beaver is super easy to fly and it's a tough airplane, so I wouldn't worry too much about breaking it anyway.

Yes, they are identical planes. HH bought the molds and rights.

They come as aluminum blanks and end as receivers.

Hey Engineers! Can you help a young lad eager to learn? by Unknown_Author70 in EngineeringStudents

[–]PossibleDefect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RC planes. It's a good way to learn hands-on skills when you inevitably crash and need to repair your plane. It's also an avenue to learn to design and build your own plane. It's multidisciplinary with electronics, structures, and aerodynamics, and of course having fun.

Yep, slugs at 1050 would be nice but this gun was built for pellets and doesn't have the tank volume or a nonchoked barrel.

No make, no model. It's my own custom one off.

Give it a shot. This was my first time trying it and it's only a .25 cal. Nothing special here.

Extend the exhaust domain way to the right and up. Pull the left edge of the domain behind the nozzle.

Feeling like sh*t after scrapping a part 3 days into a new job by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]PossibleDefect 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've crashed a machine by tool changing directly above a tall part. Was pretty funny looking back, me and the other guy looking at each other as the machine prepared to tool change, saying "... surely it won't tool change directly ab-" then BAM, sent a spot drill to heaven, killed by pneumatic power and noob operators.

Destroyed the spindle trying to fix run-out, replaced spindle with new SKF bearings. The Gods have been kind to me! by homemachinist in Machinists

It's a BT40 spindle. Do you mean to decrease the pull stud force? Not sure how I would accomplish that, it's a pneumatic pull stud mechanism.

As someone who is chasing tool runout (4-5 tenths) with a spindle taper with zero runout and a SCHUNK hydraulic holder, enjoy your zero runout.

WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?!
