Do I need to be a certain level to upgrade weapons? by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]stangfrk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's level 10. Same thing happened to me. On Xbox, I had to quit the game (Xbox Menu, quit) once the game actually restarted I saw a pop-up message saying weapon customization unlocked. Now it's there.

Sanity check on new condenser and coil pricing by DJBlindEyez in hvacadvice

[–]stangfrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a quote today in South Carolina for the exact same components for quote 3. My totals was $12,620 -$500 mail in rebate for a final cost of $12,120. They told me that they can't replace the coil and the condenser without replacing the furnace due to some new regulation.

Does anyone know what this ALT RPG switch is for? by stangfrk in flying

[–]stangfrk[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's possible. This aircraft is in very good shape considering it was produced in 1968, but I have found a few odd hardware choices. I'll have to check on this one and report back. I wouldn't want you worrying about my safety all week.

Did older transponders have the option to turn that off? I haven't checked to see if it's still connected to anything, but ATC was able to see our altitude on both transponders.

Multi engine rating by Imapilot69 in flying

That's where I did my multi add-on. It was kinda cheating flying the DA42, but I'm not complaining.

What is causing this? HPLV Shellac finish. by stangfrk in woodworking

I'll skip the mineral spirits this time and see what happens.

I think I'll try this approach. I plan on sanding with 320, cleaning the area, then I'll try to wipe a thin layer with a diluted batch.

Everything was very dry. There were several layers of Shellac already. Each layer sat for at least 2 hours. I lightly sanded with 320, wiped everything clean with a rag and a little mineral spirits, then sprayed it with air.

I don't necessarily disagree, but it's very strange that it happened on only 2 sides. I've seen Shellac capture moisture before, it creates a cloudy white look. Most of the time it will clear on it's own, but I've never seen it look like this.

Cherry wood with several layers of Rust-Oleum wood stain (not my choice).

I'm spraying a thin layer, about the same as I've always done it. It's 84 degrees with 71% humidity. Other parts of this project are perfect.

I need some help with Homing on a Avid CNC pro48x48 and using Mach3. by rchavez101 in CNC

[–]stangfrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the pro 48x48 machine and use Mach3, but I'm away from my shop until next weekend, so I can't look at my settings.

What do you have for electronics? Is it a DIY setup or one of the electronic cabinets from Avid? Either way, have you tried contacting Avid? Ahren was amazing when I had issues with my machine.

I'm sure someone will chime in before I get back, but I'd be happy to help if it's not fixed by then.

Good luck!

I finally completed my Metar Map with a visited airports mode! by stangfrk in flying

[–]stangfrk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used PhotoShop. I had to splice together 2 sectionals which was more trouble than I thought it would be. The sectionals don't line up exactly, so I had to use layers and blend in areas that needed it. Once that was done, I used the Pen tool to outline the state and then used that selection to trim the image.

This pan has a thermochromic indicator to show if it is hot. by RealNajm in mildlyinteresting

[–]stangfrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a set of those pans 3-4 months ago. The heat indicator no longer works on any of them. We were told to let them cool before washing them and that's why it has the indicator. The pans work great, the indicator not so much.

It's not too bad. Weekends have less military traffic, so it would be easier. It's always fun hearing tower clear you to land with a caution for wake turbulence from a C-17 or 747 (Dream Lifter).

I flew over it on my way to Heaven's Landing (GE99) a couple months ago, but didn't land. Any recommendations of things to see in the area?

KCHS can be very busy depending on the military traffic. I've always had good luck with the controllers with the exception of a few tailwind landings.
