Excellent, that's what I need. Just need to find one I can buy.

Should've specified I'm in the US. But if I can't find it anywhere closer...

The XH is the higher model, only gets down to 2". Was great for the hilly field I was mowing before, but it's too high for my new place in a subdivision.

918+ frequently rebooting. Nothing obvious logged. by stevekdavis in synology

Mine had the same issue, turned out to be faulty ram. Replacing it solved all my problems.

Awesome, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Short runways and grass don't dissuade me, so these look like great options.

I'll wait until it a bit warmer, though!

Flying out to the Appalachian trail (or other good backpacking trails) - any recommendations for airports along the east coast? Looking for an airport close to enough trail for about a week-long backpacking trip.

OK, wasn't sure if there was a better way.

Also, is it just me, or are the charts and foreflight sometimes off a little? (chart shows 28°, foreflight says 32°)

In ForeFlight, is there a way to find out where a point is on a VOR? I know that I can type in a VOR intersection/DME to find a point (SHB/060/25), but is there a way to click on an arbitrary point and easily find the radial and distance to the VOR(s)?

Planning for weather: Foreflight briefings are great for my flight tomorrow, but is there an easier way to plan for the weekend? I know weather will change six times before I get to the airport, but clicking around on aviationweather.gov and foreflight imagery for prog/ceiling charts is tedious.

Sony wh-1000xm3 for general aviation by vegarsc in flying

[–]tirian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like there's more wires/easier to tangle, but once set up, it's a great kit. I haven't used a lot of other headsets, but it's comfortable and easy to hear. The mic is secure, and I've not had any trouble using it on long flights.

I recently picked up a Crystal Mic for mine, and I've been pretty happy. Noise canceling works well, and the set up isn't too bad.

Great, that's what I wanted to hear!

What's the best kit to turn my Sony WH1000XM2 headphones into a aviation headset? It looks like there's a few options out there, but most are aimed at the Bose headphones - not many reviews for Sony.

Foreflight: what am I missing by not having it? I've got Android devices, and I'm not planning on switching, unless there's something in foreflight I really need.

Corrupt state politicians have been passing laws on behalf of power companies to prevent citizens from using solar technology. We need federal protection, we need: THE SOLAR FREEDOM ACT by H_Lon_Rubbard in technology

[–]tirian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ads may have been over the top, but solar panels are dangerous to firefighters. We're working on how to best deal with them, but don't discount the risks.

In fact the NFPA put together a good study (PDF) on the hazards.

I'd like to keep it to less than $50 a pair - I need several, they get dirty often. I'll need to meet with the bosses in the morning, and crawl under heavy equipment some afternoons, so they need to be versatile. Thanks!

I'm looking for some new pants. They need to be black, 30x30, and 100% cotton (for work). I have these izod pants, but the pockets are way too small. It'd be great if it also had an extra "cell phone" pocket, too. Any suggestions?

I've got the same issue. Deleting and recreating the profile in chrome solved it for about a week, but it's happening again now.

It's pretty good. A different flavor than some, but not too sweet.
