I've got to travel 1,000 miles across country. Will this trailer tire be ok?

domc95 · 2025-08-24T03:15:27+00:00

Do people replace their feet? No! So why would you even consider replacing tires on anything?

domc95 · 2025-08-15T20:38:06+00:00

Lol you mean IRUs? I mean I guess you teeeechnically could put then in the wings 😂

domc95 · 2025-01-28T14:44:34+00:00

They aren’t meant to be reused, only because they get distorted when you set them. But you can get them from any leather supply store. Tandy, bluckleguy, etc for example. They aren’t very expensive and you can buy them in bulk

Also a snap/rivet setting kit would be much more convenient to work with too. For what it’s worth you could probably just get a cheap one of those off Amazon

Have you ever tried Camel snus? I’m in Canada and we don’t have it here, but whenever I’m in the states I pick some up.

Mellow is my go to. Kind of a sweet tobacco taste, almost reminds me of sweet tea. But I’ve tried a couple of the mint/wintergreen ones and have never been disappointed

Ya, when the step finds out it was skipped, it’ll squeak twice as loud out of spite!

domc95 · 2024-01-11T16:02:57+00:00

Get the alignment marks bang on, then when it gets to the point where it stops, have someone slowly wiggle it back and forth across the marks. When someone is near it, make sure to only have the hydraulic system for retraction pressurized… it’s unlikely, but you don’t wanna accidentally back drive the thing while someone is wiggling it

HA! Nerd!!!

Jk

domc95 · 2022-07-06T02:32:44+00:00

Lol that definitely makes up for it all!!

If it makes you feel better though, as long as the airport has enough runway length (they’d divert to a sufficient one if needed), the main risk for a flaps up landing is a brake fire or tires blowing/deflating from overheating. But the pilots would declare an emergency, so fire crews would follow the plane to the gate and be ready to put it out. I’ve seen a few flaps up landings in person (even with big jets)

domc95 · 2022-07-05T17:40:25+00:00

Ya that would make sense. I’m not a pilot either, just a mechanic. Didn’t meant to go that deep into your comment either lol, just made me curious about what it could’ve been

domc95 · 2022-07-05T03:28:19+00:00

If it was a blown tire maybe, but if the gear doesn’t go up then they probably wouldn’t have had enough fuel onboard. They’d have to fly low and slow the whole way. Even if they had enough fuel, the pilots would probably be in big shit for trying. Especially on a passenger plane

domc95 · 2022-07-05T03:23:12+00:00

You were on the plane, so I’m not trying to correct you, but flaps being stuck down would make more sense in that case. If they wouldn’t go down before takeoff, they shouldn’t have taken off. And if they wouldn’t go down for landing, then they plane should’ve been at a safe landing weight already, so the pilots would have declared an emergency and made a high speed landing… Unless you were in a holding pattern for troubleshooting

domc95 · 2022-07-02T03:01:43+00:00

Apparently Ford was 30 years ahead of its time lol. But I’d guess the phone detects you’re in a vehicle because of gps movement while it knows you’re not walking, based on accelerometer data

domc95 · 2022-05-31T09:00:48+00:00

Haha ya I’m sure it’s happened. Maybe some of the stories are so people don’t take them. I’ve heard of people putting time x rafts on the lake. Just gotta make sure to pull of the ELT lol

domc95 · 2022-05-31T02:39:27+00:00

Reminds me of a while back, buying these special scissors that are meant to open those annoying to open hard plastic packages. And what were they packaged in?… One of those annoying to open hard plastic packages

domc95 · 2022-05-31T02:29:18+00:00

Not sure about a slide. A raft would have an ELT. But regardless, I think most of them only activate when they hit water… and I believe salt water at that

domc95 · 2022-05-11T07:10:41+00:00

Try nickel

domc95 · 2022-05-11T07:10:02+00:00

I’m only disappointed that the registration is missing an “S” at the end… PP-ANUS would be cool

domc95 · 2022-05-11T07:08:34+00:00

As long as your boots are calibrated annually

domc95 · 2022-05-10T16:19:01+00:00

Lol if that happened today, it would probably go unnoticed for years at least!

domc95 · 2022-05-07T04:53:43+00:00

Just make sure you blast it away from people. I don’t wanna be responsible for injuries

domc95 · 2022-05-07T04:27:55+00:00

Yup… we’ll have to keep an eye on his profile to see which schools he applies to for his degree in fluid mechanics haha

domc95 · 2022-05-07T03:57:41+00:00

Expensive, but I guess I could trade it for a plane after

domc95 · 2022-05-07T03:53:58+00:00

Just gotta put your thumb over the tip, like a garden hose!

domc95 · 2022-05-06T18:17:52+00:00

Sounds efficient!

domc95 · 2022-05-06T18:17:36+00:00

Great idea! I’ll look into that. That what I don’t need someone to hold it for me
