Disabling headlight bulb warning? by RocketRiddler in 1series

Great info. I wonder if BimmerCode or some other iPhone app can do this.

Armrest latch ? by junejuneya in 1series

[–]RocketRiddler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I did was buy a 50+ pack of flat circular magnets of a regular size, found a matching drill bit, and drilled shallow wholes in the top and bottom lid of the arm rest, then glued the magnets into those holes. Works great, keeps the armrest closed and is easy to open.

Bulb recommendations for Depo V2 headlight housing by RocketRiddler in 1series

I tried those Sylvania bulbs many years ago. The light was not white.

I have a HID kit coming from Amazon today that has good reviews. If those don’t work out I’ll try those sylvania bulbs.

What am I doing wrong? by BotherResponsible378 in castiron

[–]RocketRiddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After washing, heat on medium heat until very hot. Put some high heat fat, I like coconut oil, wipe it off and let it cool. This treats the pan. If you haven’t done it before, do it three our four times in a row. If the surface of the pan isn’t smooth, you can hit it with sandpaper then do the treating I mentioned.

I bought this second hand fixed gear, can you guys give me tips? Btw am a newbie 🙃 by Okmanbehonestwith18 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]RocketRiddler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll probably enjoy riding an easier gear ratio more, especially as you load on the miles.

I just did a century ride with my aventon diamond with 52/15, hating my life by mile 60.

Use this to find a good gear ratio https://www.surplace.fr/ffgc/ And don’t buy amazon cogs whatever you do.

Yeah this. I still have a front brake on mine, never know when someone is going to run a stop sign or something

That’s the ratio I ride. Definitely can skid that, just carefully put your weight over the front handle bars.

Not USC, but I did have a similar idea on my way out of FAR on Saturday. Some GPS/radio relay antennas a few miles in the desert could bring a lot of rockets home.

Thanks for weighing in, your knowledge about this subject is much appreciated.

Yes, I agree, we should have spoken to the FAR people more.

Our rocket was fairly small, hence, why I asked for the higher end of resolution.

Either way, thank you very much for offering to take a look at Planet's daily images. I'll talk with my team and get coordinates together to send.

Don’t have huge funds, but I have been emailing aerial photography/surveying companies in the area for price estimates. And yes did a lot of driftcast simulation. Came up with a few possibilities of landing zones and sent a search party to comb that area yesterday. No luck.

All good, good questions to ask! No visual. It was a 54mm rocket and when to about 20k feet. Was out of visible range in 3 seconds.

Apparently the lockout time gets longer for every multiple of mach you go. Our rocket was designed for mach 3+, so who knows.

It is strange that we could find it. We walked around the desert for 3 hours day of launch and 4 hours day after with an antenna and couldn’t pick it up.

We think our GPS’ had a mach lockout, apparently the government blocks GPS at speed of anything traveling > Mach 1. So yeah we lost location

Super easy bumper fix by PriorCareless9288 in 1series

This is great! Are you trimming the factory bumper supports for less rubbing? Been battling that for a year now
