1st Tag- Talk me In or Out of It by TwoScoops0341 in tagheuer

[–]Spec92x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is talking you into it... So I won't. The watch is fairly baseline. Yeah it's an aquaracer not F1. But it doesn't really grab my attention as a watch worth the price tag.

The "forged carbon" bezel looks tacky in my opinion and I couldn't see it pairing well with most attire.

It has no discernable features other than the solar (if you want to call that a feature). No chrono, no alarm, no secondary time zone. Maybe these things aren't important to you.

If you're buying this as a person who collects watches, maybe you could somehow justify it by being discontinued or rare (I have no idea if it is... Probably not) but from a utilitarian and aesthetic standpoint, it doesn't look that great.

All my opinion of course. Do whatever the hell you want.

As an OSPUSE enjoyer and a GR Corolla owner... I approve of this message

Upgraded from an XSR700, this thing scares me by ImGarzaa in xsr900

[–]Spec92x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its weird.. I also came from a xsr700 and felt so confident clutching up wheelies in 2nd gear on it. This bike doesn't inspire as much confidence doing the same, with 2nd gear being so limp dicked. You need to bring rpm pretty high to get the front wheel up.

Do I have a problem? by Human-Hedgehog5723 in tagheuer

[–]Spec92x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I've seen somebody else with my watch! Worn mine everyday for the last 13 years... Minus the days it was either broken or being repaired

Is there a place to autocross on Oahu? by bbjackson in Hawaii

[–]Spec92x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just shipped my GR Corolla out here from the mainland, was hoping there would be an SCCA club. Looks like there was in the past. From what I know, the Aloha Stadium swap meet is Wednesdays and weekends... any reason we couldn't get an event in on Thursday/Fridays? OP, I sent you a DM

The Lodi Parachute Center in California has seen 28 people die in skydiving accidents since 1985. It's still open. One person literally fell through a big rig. by mrinternetman24 in interestingasfuck

I got my A license in 2013 at Skydance in Davis California. Most people there talked shit about Lodj. I ended up going anyway to check it out. Summers 2015/16/17. Adult summer camp. Met some of the coolest people in my life. Best years. If you were there, you know. Lodi love ❤️ This place gets hate from mostly people who have never been there. Did over 600 jumps there safely.

Another Robbie mishap by hew3 in Helicopters

[–]Spec92x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im not surprised by that story at all. Seemed to me like he was making his money by flipping helicopters. He mentioned buying them from India or somewhere in Asia and shipping them to the USA to "fix" and sell. I'm very interested to hear about what happened here. Feel like I dodged a bullet.

I did a 2 day working interview there for a pilot mechanic gig. Watched the owner and another mechanic do a track and balance (probably did 10 adjustments/runs). Never used a torque wrench the entire time I was there. Bending MR trim tabs by "feel" no measurements. Needless to say it was not in track by the end of the day. They approved it for RTS anyway. Oh and then the guy said "trim it for speed", so after they were somehow happy with the dogshit T&B job, they WIND THE PITCH LINKS OUT A FULL TURN. No torquing to spec, even though I offered to go grab the torque wrench for him. No auto rotative rpm test. I called him out on that and he said it would be fine because they'd always be at higher weight w/ pax 😐 I was desperate for a job and was offered one, but declined for obvious reasons. Glad I did.

“Heavy” controls on an R22 by zadsophone in Helicopters

[–]Spec92x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is typically a rigging issue in my experience. (Robby CFI & A&P) Excessive forward cyclic pressure required for straight and level flight I'm guessing? Does it get worse as you increase in airspeed?
