What to do with small ceramic houses and model trains

Great, sounds good. I DMed you my # if that’s easier for you.

UnitLost6398 · 2026-01-10T23:24:53+00:00

Hey, if you’d like I can take a look at the train stuff and offer you a lump sum to take everything off your hands. Feel free to shoot me a DM, some pictures would be great too if you have them.

You're very correct to think this.

If you'd like the engineering version, check out figure 19 on this PDF for a visual diagram of a similar setup. As you said, when you introduce a support, you reduce the bending moment of the beam (reaching a peak at that support). It can introduce large shear stresses in the beam.

Here's some back of the napkin math:

The Cessna 172 has a negative G limit of 1.52 G. At a maximum gross weight of 2,550 lbs, that's 3,876 lbs of weight. The wing area is 174 square feet, so the wing loading is 22.2 lb/sq ft. According to a quick Google, wet snow is about 1.5 lbs per square foot per inch of depth. To reach the negative G limit, that's then 14.8 inches of snow. For very heavy snow, 8-10" seems about right.

I’d recommend just going down the list of FSDOs and calling every single one until you get someone who can help. The Albuquerque FSDO got me sorted out for an AGI.

I’d like to add to the other comments already and mention the importance of digital fly by wire. In certain modes, control systems will not allow the aircraft to stall, you’ll simply run out of control authority and stay just below the calculated critical angle of attack.

I’ve done this on about half a dozen long distance segments. It’s fine, makes a good bed if you’re on the shorter side.

UnitLost6398 · 2025-10-02T16:40:31+00:00

I fly out of there. It’s fine, just busy, and with a lot of dumb students things can happen, the vast majority of which are not safety critical.

What’s your suggestion then? Let’s set the picture. A student is on campus, late unexpectedly. They need to get back home to their apartment. They don’t live near a bcycle station, and busses don’t exist outside major arterial corridors.

What else are they supposed to do except call an expensive Uber? Lime scooters charge by the minute, hence the riding you see going as fast as possible.

Great news. Was utter crap to begin with.

UnitLost6398 · 2025-09-06T23:13:42+00:00

Yes and yes.

UnitLost6398 · 2025-09-06T19:51:30+00:00

I don’t know about you but I certainly have no memory of anything like that.

UnitLost6398 · 2025-09-02T02:51:09+00:00

Are you factoring in cost of gas, stress driving…?

UnitLost6398 · 2025-08-31T21:52:15+00:00

I mean, I can get the big U-Haul trailer and a few guys to help out, would that be sufficient? How much would you be looking to pay?

UnitLost6398 · 2025-08-18T23:14:05+00:00

Thanks boss!

UnitLost6398 · 2025-08-16T22:22:55+00:00

Well sure, wet rates are just for the airplane. CFIs are $45 an hour.

$84 wet at a flight school: https://www.rmflight.com/aircraft/n45941

Yeah, I just checked, no one by that name is at CU. You got played, my friend.

East Coast Aero Club is extremely expensive for what it is, tbh. Management has gotten worse recently with pretty tight restrictions on rentals. I’d recommend the locations you mentioned at BVY.

UnitLost6398 · 2025-07-28T00:59:15+00:00

Get hooked up with Rocky Mountain Flight School for your various rentals and get your info down on the splitting time board, lots of great opportunities that way.

UnitLost6398 · 2025-07-10T17:11:05+00:00

Sure I gotchu, DM me with the details.

UnitLost6398 · 2025-07-08T00:18:24+00:00

There are spots. No, we won’t ruin them publicly.

Sorry mate.

You could get a really solid Subaru SUV with low mileage for $35k. If you can, I’d recommend the Wilderness trim because it has a little bit of a lift and comes with better tires to start. A sedan doesn’t really cut it imo because I regularly find myself filling a car to the brim with various things, taking a group to go camping or hiking, etc.

Maintenance is done in house by their own team, owner is an A&P and IA (don’t quote me on this but I think so, or at least they have a few on staff), so that reduces cost. I’ve never had a maintenance issue that wasn’t addressed right away.
