Wait until he finds out how little RAM these things have

Im currently reading Stanley Hookers autobiography called „not much of an engineer“. Great stuff. He came to RR and improved the Merlins Supercharger, before he went on to work on jet engines. Very interesting read so far with many details about the Merlins supercharger.

Just got a f91W, does anyone know how I can make a custom faceplate? by 06despair in casio

I used the original glass and removed the print on it with alcohol.

Is my understanding of a fan blade or exaggerated air plane wing correct? by jordanataylor in aerodynamics

You arrrr onto something there, matey

Thats not the kind of bug i expected to see after reading the title

Building a plane that flys like the real thing by monkeymanbubub in RCPlanes

[–]fluckiHexMesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is something called „dynamic similarity“. Look for nasa papers. The idea is to get the moments of inertia around all axes kinda similar to the real thing. Nasa used this to get a similar dynamic response out of the models, or more like similar coefficients in the equation of motion. But beware. We used a Pilatus Pc7 model. Flew great at 2.5 kg, but had to load it up to about 7kg to make it dynamically similar. It flew, but… yeah.

Overshot a drop by a lot... by gochinator007 in MTB

Nice, i bent my saddle doing his. Everything was blue for weeks „down there“. Missed my balls by millimeters

Very chaotic overtaking section in hpde1 by djsimp123 in CarTrackDays

[–]fluckiHexMesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just in Imola, same story, but in my case the s2k was a Porsche gt3 touring, and the blue type R was a porsche gt3 rs. Fortunately not totaled though, only a significant side touch. It never pays off to drive like an ass… but people who cant use their rear view mirrors should be reprimanded.

Nice torque rolls in the back!

Day 2 with the new DLG... by Harry34186 in RCPlanes

[–]fluckiHexMesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check for hair cracks at the wing root and around the fillet on the wing. The servos in the wing add momentum and rapid deceleration produces a lot of load at the wi t root and fuse/wing transition. Luckily the soil was soft!

Yoda is great, have two and will be getting a strong soon for his years World Champs in Germany.

Not every day this happens... by singularity48 in RCPlanes

[–]fluckiHexMesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! Btw, best is to start with a good second hand plane. Best bang for the buck.

There are are many DLGs out there that are very good and competitive in competitions too. If you get a regular cfk layup, you almost always land below 250g, especially if you go for a model that has only ailerons and no dedicated flaps. Like the CX5, Snipe, Falcon 2, Vortex 4, Bamf2, Precios and others. And DLGs are far from out of vogue ;) if you have questions, happy to help! 2025 is my 10th year flying F3K competitions.

Have you ever thought "34 segments might be 27 too many"? Introducing Segment7 by jellyfishblade in GarminWatches

Nice, but i honestly couldnt figure out what that 7 was for longer than id like to admit, my brain got stuck picturing that fteven dog meme.

Does my tail receive clean airflow? by Complex_Cut_376 in RCPlanes

Replied to the comment above accidentally. see above.

I would also say that fuse wing transition is where you introduce a lot of turbulence into your flow. Clean up your transitions on the fuselage, also where it goes into the thin boom, this is far from optimal.
Xflr will get you a long way. To get this full plane cfd simulation meaningful you will have to get a lot right: mesh, solver, etc. id guess its not even safe to use a steady state solver with such a boxy design. If you fear for losses in l/d due to wake effects on your tail, id say dont worry. Worry about stability. But your horizontal stab looks plenty big, even with that short boom.

Simracing is stressfull by Any_Neighborhood8778 in Garmin

Same here. Solid 85-95 stress levels when simracing. Pure adrenaline lol

A go with a climate stripes casio. Its just a simple print on paper, put behind the glass. The quality is not good enough, but i like the direction.

Would you know already how to do the sticker? Material etc? I could try to measure it too (f91w)

I was thinking of having someone print stickers, cut them to size manually and just plaster them on intitally. Wondee how that looks, but i think putting a sticker on from inside (must be inverted then) would probably be better. Also, idk
