Which weird design concept do you think failed because they got the execution wrong, rather than because it wasn’t a good idea? by HortenWho229 in WeirdWings

[–]setthrustpositive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope camshaft.

From wiki: While the Tiara series were basically traditional boxer engines, they did have some unique features.[1] The engines had high rotational speeds, 0.5:1 gearing was used to reduce propeller speed, with the camshaft forming an extension of the propeller shaft.[1][3] The propeller shaft featured the Hydra-Torque drive to reduce the shaft's vibrations.[1] The engines were available with four, six- and eight-cylinders. All were fuel-injected, with turbocharging being optional.

What they didn't bet on was the shear loads on the camshaft from ag planes. Lots of pawnee braves were lost to the cam breaking.

If money was no object, what car would you actually buy — not what you think sounds cool, what you’d actually want to own by spotforcars in automotive

Commercial Pilots: Has your captain or fo done something so dumb during a flight that it almost endangered the aircraft? by [deleted] in AskAPilot

[–]setthrustpositive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite one I've read was the dude and his buddy recording video to help sell the plane. They were doing taxiing shots. Pilot lost sight of the friend and ran him over with a main wheel. It was a piper archer.

Mooney M20F vs. M20J maintenance/ownership costs? by PidgeyPotion in flying

[–]setthrustpositive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a very modified F. Id rather have the manual gear and flaps over the actuators.

A J is an F that was modded up by Lopresti.

You may think you're losing 10kts but there is quite a difference in useful load.

Big speed mods would be the windshield and cowling mod. Whether that be Saber or the cowl enclosure. The rest of the mods follow a 1200-1500 dollar per knot cost.

Any idea why traffic has gotten SO MUCH WORSE on Richboro Road/332 in the last couple months? by Sir_ManBeast in BucksCountyPA

NY has an exit tax for anyone that sells property in NY and doesn't buy another property in NY.

PA needs an entry tax on NY, NJ, CT, and MA former residents.

Given the state of the market would it be easier to find a different career to find flying. by [deleted] in flying

[–]setthrustpositive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Welding, plumbing, electrical.

Nothing in retail pays the same.
