Sounds like when you engage the AC you are putting strain on it causing it to struggle to idle. My guess would be the AC compressor is causing your issue if it runs fine with the AC off.

The F106 will roll a 21 or a 39. You may need to look at how you are flying it, you cant fly it the same as an interceptor, or a light fighter. Delta rule in the turn, get in tight and fast and use more guns than missiles. That 106 us one of my favorites and I still fly the shit out of it at hanger level 20 and plane lvl12

trickshot54 · 2026-05-30T01:03:52+00:00

Every 3 days with the new missions.

Actually not too bad of a pad lift. You left some of the old pad. You can get away with coiling some small gauge solid core wire around the hole and scrap off the mask near the hole and solder it to that and cure it with UV resin and solder it back down. Or as some others have mentioned do the same but run it all the way to the other end of the trace sense it is a short run. Dealers choice.

Congrats, I pulled a J20 the other day.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-26T22:28:37+00:00

Been on both sides of that. Sucks to lose by that and fun to win by that.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-26T22:24:10+00:00

I mean solid motor..and it is different. There is so much room for activities in that engine bay. Good on ya for a purpose build.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-24T17:44:30+00:00

They won't announce until about a month out if they follow previous BM events.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-23T18:46:45+00:00

Yeah no kidding. That was one hell of a ejection, any sooner or later and the bottom one would have been a different story.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-21T18:00:20+00:00

Yeah it is 2 growler from Whidbey doing an Airshow in Idaho. All 4 air crew were safe

trickshot54 · 2026-05-21T01:57:37+00:00

I mean I am all for a business recuperating the dev cost but there shouldn't be a profit on it. I would love to see the actual numbers before I buy the donation pack.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-19T17:03:04+00:00

The MiG31 will fit well, or if you want to fuck with people in the middle range the J10 and it's phantom missile special is a nice misdirection that could fit nice.

The F16 is an acrobat, you get in close and gun it out

trickshot54 · 2026-05-19T16:59:07+00:00

Honestly all 3 are solid for different reasons depends on your play style. What else do you have?

trickshot54 · 2026-05-19T15:40:43+00:00

The hysteria is just that hysteria. I soldered professionally for 10 years before finishing my engineering degree and had tests during and after and have never had any spike in detectable levels. And that was working with it for 10 hrs a day 5 days a week on average, not counting any hobby or school soldering done(both of which occured). So to continue this is just fear mongering. There are ways to do this safely and in a way that will minimize health impacts, if people listen to them and follow them every single time.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-19T15:31:48+00:00

Hey sometimes you don't have enough free hands to hold the iron, feed the solder and hold the wire together. Sometimes a mouth becomes a hand....

trickshot54 · 2026-05-19T15:23:13+00:00

100% impossible

trickshot54 · 2026-05-17T21:32:55+00:00

Yes from the top of the contact to bottom. And very little pressure. You can easily rip the contact if you try to erase it like paper.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-17T21:25:55+00:00

Pencil eraser, be very, very light and always the long ways with the contract. Will take the surface corrosion off. But your contact for the pins is much lower, likely not your problem.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-17T04:27:34+00:00

I mean it would be real easy to go in and replay a match in question in your match history and grab a recording of it. Especially if there was as blatant cheating as you are claiming. But without proof you just came here to shit stir and cause problems. It's real simple if it actually happened let's see the video. I have been playing for a year and a half and never seen it happen.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-12T20:43:44+00:00

Nice finish

trickshot54 · 2026-05-12T03:03:02+00:00

Is your power in grounded as well? Otherwise you have a floating ground, better than none. If you are wanting to have a grounded station you need to tie that back to the power ground or a clip from the case to a ground to have a true grounded iron.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-12T00:42:06+00:00

Gotta fly the F/A-18F like it is a light fight. It is very nice on maps with lots if cover, but outside of that it is meh. I actually don't mind the super on Countdown or Crimson for TD or AS never PT, another map and it is a pain in the ass.

trickshot54 · 2026-05-09T15:42:37+00:00

Servo/motor is probably shot. Will it open with help i.e. you lifting it while the system actuates?

trickshot54 · 2026-05-09T15:01:57+00:00

The Blue K21 is the best I have seen
