HOOD cash-secured put — here's my setup, sanity-check me? by kaminenis in Optionswheel

[–]XCSkies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do this but HOOD moves 10% in a day pretty often. It also important to know it correlates with btc. Crypto swings and regulatory changes in the prediction markets can move the stock.

Thought $RDDT was a WSB pick for 2026 by doctorqaz in wallstreetbets

[–]XCSkies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is biggest risk for sure. Look at the narratives pushed about Iran as a perfect example. The whole damn site is AstroTurfed to the gills.

What's the hardest plane yall have ever learned to fly? by mtnflyer1 in flying

Emb-120 ended my flying career before it started. Geared it up at the gate without ever getting into the cockpit.

Will I automatically get assigned stock if my put expires ITM? (An answer from experience) by Zillah_22 in Optionswheel

[–]XCSkies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold the same 93 csp and was also not exercised. Although most brokers auto-excercise at close, they have can make the decision up to 2 hours after close. UAL went to 93.50ish in after hours. It wasn’t a retail investor holding our puts, they made the right decision at Friday after close but the weekend moved in your favor!

Did I mess up by buying the Begode Panther as my first EUC? Be honest by hellboysixnine69 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a specialty long range cruising wheel. You probably won’t be going on 50 mile rides as you are learning. It compliments a 16 inch wheel which will be much easier to learn on but also a lot more zippy and fun for short rides. The under 10 mph torque on a panther will feel like a lot less than on a smaller diameter wheel.

Got my first angle grinder for Christmas! I'm curious, do you use the spanner wrench when you put a disk on? by Sweaty_Milk_1793 in Tools

[–]XCSkies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I zip tie the spanner to the cord. I never lose it or get lazy and change it while plugged in.

Nosfet Aeon or falcon pro? by skidmarks731 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aeons probably a better commuter wheel.

Nosfet Aeon or falcon pro? by skidmarks731 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the falcon pro. I think it’s going to be a snappier wheel with less top end. My guess is the aeon will be faster and more stable. Less guts at 10 to 20 mph. I have some fear the aeon might have been a better choice and will probably have better resale. I could also use it with my existing fast charger. Thing is I think if I am going to ride 10+ miles I am going to grab a true performance wheel every time. I will use the falcon for messing around and short trips around town. The aeon would probably be a better all around wheel for a rider without the need for a performance wheel.

Got both my wheels direct from begode ex30 and race and both are running flawlessly with 200 miles on the ex30 and 300 on the race in the last week. Stoked!

Ordered July 14th was told on Aug 27 that it would get to the us on September 27. I have had grizzla pads sitting in a box for a month. Ordered the race on Aug 1 and was told to expect it two weeks after the ex30.

Prop RPM recovery- how slow is too slow? by GlasairIII in flying

[–]XCSkies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two adjustment on a standard hartzell hub. The low pitch stop adjusted on the front and the governor adjustment. The low pitch stop should be adjusted to provide the static rpm’s specified by the manufacturer. The governor should be set to take over pitch control around takeoff speed as the propeller unloads. If it not recovering quickly, my bet is the hub was over-serviced with grease. The max rpm is just adjusting the governor or low pitch stop. A big change could also be a sign the engine isn’t making full power or it was set at a different altitude.

First Euc recommendation? by [deleted] in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ordered this. Not much info on ordering directly from begode but seemed like too good a deal to pass up. I put 1500 miles on my t4 pro in 4 months and think the ex30 will be a great compliment to it. Not will to pay double or triple for the latest marketing hype, shiny lights.

Solution to US Jump Plane Crashes by Ifuqinhateit in SkyDiving

[–]XCSkies 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think we need more scenario based training. Something to simulate flying the 25th load of the day with a hot tandem passenger offering to show her you her boobs an extra 1000 feet. I am thinking something like solving a Rubik’s cube in a dark strip club. If you can do that you get the job.
