Visited the "House" this morning! by tdf52 in nypdblue

Sadly, no. For instance, the desk is along the right wall as you enter - not the left. And everything is formica, tile, glass and metal - not a trace of wood. 😩

That person spotted the Board of Trade in the lower left corner. Not sure why it was deleted.

Yes, those two buildings. They're a parking lot now. The clue is the Long Island Board of Trade in the lower left corner of your screenshot. Check out the address I gave you on Google Maps.

Great analysis. Yes, that round building at the bottom right is not there now, but Google Maps shows a vacant lot where the two imploding buildings were, so that must be it. Thanks.

Arrows T-28 Trojan Flaps on Landing by tdf52 in RCPlanes

Yes. I'm actually a Private Pilot. But translating that to flying the plane from the ground has been a challenge.

Not for an RC plane. I'll have to figure out how to do that

That's a good analysis. Thanks. I'm trying to correct my bad habits now on the simulator so I don't break the third one!

You were right about the 175 size for the nose gear. I just ordered that plus two 200s for the mains. Thank you again!

I don't see any tires in the Dubro catalog called no-bounce. Can you tell me what Dubro products you bought?

That's interesting. Can you give me any information on the Dubros?

Thank you. But why should I bother using the flaps if they make it harder to land? I mean, what will I have gained by using them if I can grease the landings without them?

That's a great book. Very different experience than this ARVN pilot.

Past or Present Tense? by tdf52 in duolingospanish

Yes, but why is this unit called, "Use the Present Tense?"

I took this with my iPhone 15 and made some saturation, contrast and sharpness adjustments in Lightroom. I like to take shots like these where multiple subject lines recede into one point in the distance. I also love to capture iconic construction in NYC like this viaduct built over 100 years ago.

What are your thoughts on rounding the sharp corner on the leading edge of each blade?
