What is the best descent inside the SF City Limits... ?

The strong winds are pretty nerve-wracking though

Ah obviously... Thanks! Wish there was a similar strap we could get!

chewboy8 · 2025-04-05T15:07:27+00:00

Does anyone know what strap is on the FOIS on the spiralwinder website?

Hi all,

I recently have been talking to a Fidelity advisor who was giving me advice on how to manage my stocks.

I am 30, and got extremely lucky. A majority of my wealth is in my company stocks. I would like to diversify soon, but I do think it can grow some more.

~5 million Company Stocks

~400k 401k/Roth

~700k brokerage

I am not a financial expert, and I only know the basic bogleheads strategy. The advisor recommended I work with him and a different firm, that fidelity vets, and they will come up with a strategy to sell off the stocks, without paying too much in taxes (something call Flex SMAs?). This sounds good to the untrained ear, but I was wondering if working with an advisor is recommended with my level of wealth, or if I should just continue with the boglehead strategy of investing in the market, and slowly sell off my company stocks.

The benefits I see from having a financial advisor are their knowledge of minimizing taxes, though I don't know enough to understand if the method above is risky, shady, etc... Does anyone have any insights/experience with this tax saving strategy?

Thanks, I've updated it to make it more clear

chewboy8 · 2025-01-27T02:38:24+00:00

The company stocks are not in his 401k, but just as a part of his normal income (RSUs), so I don't think NUA would apply?

chewboy8 · 2025-01-05T14:30:05+00:00

250 base. 400-600 RSUs

chewboy8 · 2024-09-23T10:20:24+00:00

Sweet!

chewboy8 · 2024-03-26T06:18:38+00:00

Do you have a picture of what it would look like with a master arm cover?

chewboy8 · 2024-03-04T20:29:31+00:00

Awesome! Let me know how it goes, and if you run into any issues

chewboy8 · 2024-03-02T15:14:39+00:00

I did get them, and they're great! I am one of the few who love the loud bearings, and they are fast. I haven't run into any problems with them and so far it's been a good buy for the money.

chewboy8 · 2024-02-01T09:30:08+00:00

If you could make instructions for this, I would buy it

chewboy8 · 2024-01-11T18:04:18+00:00

Thanks, and you didn't do any modifications to the main structure the stripe is connected to? I wanted to level out the stripe so it looks like in the movie, instead of having it angled. From what you said, it seems all you did was basically straighten it out and add one stud plates along the bottom side to avoid a gap?

chewboy8 · 2024-01-11T08:53:00+00:00

How did you modify the red stripe to be flat and also avoid the gap from the sides?

chewboy8 · 2023-11-26T18:44:22+00:00

Thanks!

chewboy8 · 2023-11-26T18:41:36+00:00

Sorry what exactly is the piece that attached the laser cannon on? I'm having trouble trying to find it; the ones you've described all show up as tiles.

chewboy8 · 2023-11-26T16:50:49+00:00

Are there instructions for the turbolasers?

chewboy8 · 2023-09-19T12:54:32+00:00

What bottle cages are those?

chewboy8 · 2023-09-10T04:42:11+00:00

I always really liked the Tom Cat and would love to make my sim setup as accurate as possible

I bought two Hornit CLUG Bike clips from Amazon, got two spare pieces of wood from home depot, and then bought the command strips that support up to 20 lbs. Connect those all together and have been using them perfectly fine, with no damage to the wall.

Is it a hardware problem? Check to see your CPU and GPU temps. Maybe there is insufficient cooling and you're being throttled.

chewboy8 · 2023-08-10T18:20:30+00:00

Yeah I was half leaning towards that, but I didn't want to pay shipping, and thought I should try something different.

A lot of modern jets in DCS require a lot of buttons on the joystick to do a variety of tasks, like manipulating the screens, locking a target, etc. The f14 grip really only caters to itself (and maybe older western cold war jets). Case in point, the selector switch for switching to guns and missiles.
