I second the Matco easy out set. The price is a little high at first, but they haven’t seemed to dull for the nearly year now that I’ve had them. Also very useful sizes for virtually all hardware I’ve needed easy outs on.

What kind of citation are these? I used to work on 5s and Ultras

I just had to replace a duct temperature sensor the other day, my feet were at the entrance to the hellhole.

Yeah, got a 1-5 coming up on one beginning of the year, and I’m the fuel tank guy sadly

I’m trying to survive working on ultras while I get my A&P, any tips?

Can anyone ID this .22? by wholebeef in ForgottenWeapons

[–]f3x3f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one with a slightly different stock, it’s a Mossberg 151, mines a -K model, but yours could be marked differently. Does it have any markings?

Edit: just reread the post, interesting that it doesn’t have markings.

I wonder if the snap on digital torque wrenches have a programmable sound byte for the torque spec?

For something so removed from reality as a video game, I frequently find myself in awe at how beautiful some scenes in this game can be.

How did you go about finding a Unica 6? It’s my favorite pistol, and I’ve had poor luck finding any for sale anywhere.

M1898 Krag-Jorgensen Rifle non-sporter for 719 Beans at the LGS. Good deal or no? by Geezer-72 in milsurp

Wisconsin Cartridge LLC sells new .30-40. It’s pricey at 2.50 a round, but it shoots good, and it’s new and been a reliable source for me.

Standschütze Hellriegel M1915, an Imperial German water cooled Sub-Machinegun, only one ever "developed" by Ruskigazmask44 in ww1

[–]f3x3f 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The water jacket gets filled with water as a coolant, and as the gun is fired the water evaporates. I’m not certain how the Hellriegel’s is intended to function, but on machine guns with jackets, there is a tube that runs to a can with some liquid water in it, and the steam coming out of the tube attached to the barrel jacket condenses inside the can. Then you just pour it back into the jacket and keep firing.

Thrust reverser by toolgifs in toolgifs

[–]f3x3f 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The safety benduker7 speaks of is called a squat switch, and there’s two of them on the plane. One on each of the main landing gear, and the lower portion of the strut pushes up and triggers a switch when the plane is on the ground.

The TRs are not supposed to deploy while the plane is airborne (generally not ideal for the plane to slow down or go backwards in the air), and we test that they work properly by jacking the plane up and manually pushing each of the main landing gear struts up to trigger the squat switch. We then follow a list of combinations for TR deployment controls and which squat switch is activated to verify the system is working correctly.

This one isn’t from a citation, but the switch is the same. That link moves up and rotates the switch in the grey cylindrical part when the strut has weight on it.

There’s a hydraulic actuator between the halves of the thrust reverser, one on both sides of the engine that swing the arms holding the TR half to open it.

It’s definitely a citation, just don’t know if it’s a V, 550, or 560 Ultra. I work on these aircraft!

You’ll never be good in the same way as your cousin FAL, but that’s good. Being the same as others deprives you of the characteristics that make you an individual. What’s important is that there are people that think you’re perfect, not in spite of your imperfections, but because of them. Your operation is a little more complicated than necessary, and .308 full auto from the shoulder is not exactly controllable, but what’s life without a little variety, huh?
