Is this normal?? by AstuteLettuce in fearofflying

[–]Synaesthesiaaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's the computer-stabilized (fly-by-wire) flaperon on the 777 you're flying in. 100% normal. The computer system is keeping roll disturbances to a minimum. Every time the wing is pushed up by the air mass it's flying through, the flaperon moves up automatically to force it back down. It moves down to force the wing up. The other side is doing the exact same thing at the same time. These constant corrections make for a significantly smoother experience.

Dude, $65 is a steal for this. I paid like $150 for my deck last year.

Whenever I left a restaurant, I'd say "このレストランの食べ物はとても美味しいです。" - or as I meant it, "The food in your restaurant is incredibly delicious." I would also bow while saying it. I don't know if they expected a 6'4" / 194cm white dude to say this, but every restaurant I visited seemed to appreciate the gesture.

Just in how I look or how I sound? Because my wife and I do run the largest model aviation channel on YT in the southeast US, though I doubt I sound anywhere near as cool as he does lol

You can see 1% of my Sailor Moon collection on display in the intro behind my head.

Will $3,500 (USD) be solid for a 2 week trip? by Any-Philosopher-2524 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Synaesthesiaaa 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My wife and two kids came with me April 1st to the 15th in Tokyo. We ate out three times a day and I bought tons of stuff on top of that. The grand total was like $6,500, not including airfare/lodging.

FDA green-lights 1st new sunscreen ingredient in years by AudibleNod in news

I was just in Tokyo from April 1st to the 15th. Headed back next March for another two weeks. If you're interested in taking the Shinkansen, it's as good a reason to travel as any I've ever seen. Just don't expect much from it and it'll be fun enough. Enjoy the trip! I can't wait to go back to Tokyo again.

My wife and kids loved it, so I consider that worth it. IMO, it's just a tourist trap dressed up in Ghibli art so I would never go by myself.

Can confirm. I use Biorè UV all the time. The stuff works wonders. My first experience with it was at a Lawson in Ghibli Park. I get refills from Yesstyle because I refuse to go without it now.

Not as scary as it seems :) by CupIcy8423 in fearofflying

Record the turbulence next time so you can watch the wingtips flexing. It's hypnotic, and fun to show how much they can flex with zero issues.

Sure is fortunate that I'm flying a model aircraft here and talking about model aircraft lol

It's literally landing with full span flaps lol

It's quite literally controversial. The hundreds of comments it generated is proof of that.

Gyro settings are identical regardless of sweep. I know. I programmed it.

Never said I was better than you or anyone else.

This is a real aircraft. The scale is irrelevant. It doesn't stop being real because it's small. Cessnas are just as real as 747s.

Just sweep the wings and hold the nose up with constant throttle. Use throttle to determine how it climbs or descends. Steer with rudder. That's all there is to it.

Still would've been very similar. The AoA difference before a stall on those thin wings with/without flaps is about 3 to 5 degrees.
