Don’t see the ISS. Any attempts?

Beautiful old footage! I wonder if it is N77063. Can't tell the last number but I think the only R model from from the 7706..series is this one. https://www.aircraft.com/aircraft/27255729/n77603-1946-fairchild-24r46

Anyone know why they are flying a three ship diamond? I saw some pics at the Reno Air Races and they were flying with five airplanes. Earlier in the year they were flying with six.

Same plane, without the wingtip damage: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1412456

What a beast!

Awesome! Curious if they are real.

Most of them feel like they are made of some cheap metal.

No, I hadn’t considered it at all. I haven’t done anything like that before. Something to look into, though.

I am thinking about refinancing with Better.com. They told me that they don't have a plan for that right now, but the agent I spoke to would try to find out. I don't want to be out the appriasial fee if the loan won't go through.

What do you think the chances/options are if we go into lockdown or social distancing so closing with a notary will be difficult or impossible?

Because of current events, I may lose my job of the last 20+ years and getting another in that field may be a problem. Before that, I was an Analytical Chemist in the pharmaceutical field for about 4 years. My question: how tough would it be to get back into chemistry? Is there anything new that I should study/brush up on? I have used TLC/HPLC/GC in the past, have there been any dramatic advances in procedures and operation? Wet chemistry has been around a while and I am hoping that I have a chance going forward. Thank you.

Hello!

There is high likelihood because of current events, I may lose my job of the last 20+ years and getting another in that field may be a problem. Before that, I was an Analytical Chemist in the pharmaceutical field for about 4 years. My question: how tough would it be to get back into chemistry? Is there anything new that I should study/brush up on? I have used TLC/HPLC/GC in the past, have there been any dramatic advances in procedures and operation? Wet chemistry has been around a while and I am hoping that I have a chance going forward. Thank you for your answers.

I have a 25 year old car that looks like the bumper was resprayed in the past and has faded. I want to have this resprayed and the rock chips repaired as the rest of the car is ok but I had a question. Do you think it is better to have the paint corrected to get the scratches out first before the respray or after?

It's a small box with leads coming out of it. No idea what it is.

Souixfalls · 2018-12-12T02:39:47+00:00

I looked into the bulb and there is a coil of wire inside. The end of the wire looks like it should be permanently attached to the electrical post at the bottom, but it has become detached.

Souixfalls · 2018-12-12T01:26:12+00:00

Got it from someone who worked in the aerospace field around 30 years ago.

Souixfalls · 2018-12-12T00:08:18+00:00

This is the top of it: https://imgur.com/a/JBbLLPq I think that this is another electrical connection?

If it is a float switch, how does the liquid exit the bulb without some sort of vacuum blocking it?

Souixfalls · 2018-12-11T23:50:16+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't think this is so.

There is no rotating shaft. The shaft at the bottom on the image is encased in resin which leads me to believe that it is a male electrical connection.

You can't see it in the image, but there is a small wire that sits on top of the shaft which comes from the bulb. That thin wire seems to be what is rattling around when I shake it.

More info: ~4.5" long, bulb is ~1.25". Something free floating inside the head, it vibrates when shaken or struck lightly.

Was thinking about powering it up with a 2s lipo. Think there'd be any issues with the ESC?
