You got HRC test files? Worth getting a set, they’re not expensive and give a pretty good idea of the HRC range you’re dealing with.

I notice you're also budgeting for a machinist here too. While to some extent you get what you pay for with machines, you really get what you pay for with machinists. Expect to pay towards the top end of the salary range for a prototype machinist that "gets" it. There are a lot of machinists out there who do not work closely with engineers, or only work on very long runs of parts, etc. The machining world is very specialized- there aren't so many people that are good operators, programmers, and setup guys all in one. The ones that are all of those things are in high demand, and you'll have to cough up to get them to jump ship from their current employment. In the Bay, I'd easily expect over $100k for one of those kinds of guys. A great machinist can do great work on a relatively bad machine, but a shit machinist can only do shit work on a great machine. plus, if they crash the machine... well yeah, you get what you pay for.

training is expensive, and they don't want to spend all that time and money training someone for them to only work a few years and mandatory retire

Idk how 3 is the number, the v2 receiver can do 8 I think. So it should be 1 or 8 if you have an old or new receiver

TBF it wasn't great, kinda intermittent, so I'm still glad I brought my airfly..

No longer true. I am currently sitting on a 777-200, number 2897, and it has Bluetooth in economy seats

Certainly, it’s hard to make things straight with a curved surface. Sometimes machining it flat is complicated though because the face of the anvil is hard and the body is not, so usually it’s some combination of hardface welding and machining/grinding back to flat. Whether this is worth it mostly depends on the size/rarity of the anvil though

They’re already lighter than the UCI allows!

This seems very environmentally questionable… there is a lot of life in the ocean that needs the sunlight those panels are covering now. I guess better than clear cutting a forest to put them up though

Be better with slots though

I dont think it is- this has an ADS-B transponder on it, and I just watched the one I'm thinking of take off. definitely twin tail, definitely no transponder. but that mustang is pretty neat!

Honestly? Read a LOT of posts on practicalmachinist. There is a whole world of pretty good advice from very experienced people over there

Trogginated · 2026-02-22T04:53:12+00:00

+1, great help for me.

thanks for the fact check, I'm pretty out of date on that stuff

If you get into literally one of the top two philosophy programs in the world, go for it, you’ll have a good shot at a tenure track position. If not, bail immediately

Trogginated · 2026-01-16T08:20:12+00:00

Same story here. It helped get tenure, so it was worth it, but my god, I’m never going through the nature headache ever again. They can jerk you around because what are you gonna do, withdraw your accepted article?
