    RV inline fuel filter

    There is - if you have a boat on the ocean. Commonly used and the recommendation often seems to be remove bolt and re-apply anti-seize every year. No one seems to bother. And they sometimes snap off on attempted removal. On an aircraft, I think it will probably last a long time.

Use Explorer (file explorer) and right click on the file Choose - Run with Powershell After 5 seconds it will click once every 5 seconds, 8 times.

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    I don't know anything about specific incidents however it strikes me that we will raise a new batch of drivers that never use the brake pedal. My understanding is that "single-pedal driving" does not provide full braking. Then when it is needed the skill won't be there. It seems to me that if...

    RV-12 Fatal Crash - Control Failure 6/6 Auburn, WA

    Interesting idea. I am struggling with it a bit, maybe you can assist me? Perhaps you could illustrate a control geometry where a control rod in service as a push-pull operating rod (has free spherical bearings at each and therefore unable to transmit a turning moment), can be varied in length...

    How about "Fenton". This has the benefit of some kind soul already having made the video of your dog doing Elkhound stuffs.

    Seaplane collides with small boat in Vancouver

    At least some search and rescue helicopters have AIS. I can only find UK references via google, no idea if they are anywhere else. https://www.myshiptracking.com/?mmsi=111232535 Same helicopter on AIS and ADSB. https://www.myshiptracking.com/?mmsi=111232535...

    T-34 question

    Perhaps at some point someone became concerned about the spin characteristics? Also according to Wikipedia - Civilian fleet was grounded 2004. Fully restored to flight status 2011. Mainly structural changes were made. I have no idea if this might have been one of them. One from Wiki. Red...

    Anyone Need an Inch and a half Combo Wrench?

    That's very generous. I guess the engraving will make quite a big difference, nevertheless.

    Gravity is broken (worst journalism ever)

    They float gently upward to the ceiling at 1.2 - 1 g = 0.2g. They are basically free falling in space and the plane quite gently catches up with them. After 90 ft of free fall the floor then comes up towards them at 1.2 + 1 = 2.2g and smashes them on the whatever. The +/- 1 is due to the...

    Thing is, planes are bearproof -ish.

    Jacobs-powered pickup

    Better to start with a bigger engine and chop off any inconvenient cylinders. I think there is about 300 cu in still remaining here.

    Thinking about a Bus/RV

    Let me guess. You are going to put the Wankel in the bus. Not for it's propulsive effect but just so it can be started and make a noise. I guess you would need a load for it to sound right. The remaining question is, exhaust inside or outside? Inside, you would need a lot of ventilation but...

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    That's why to make Star Trek they invented the warp drive, made a giant spaceship and travelled across several galaxies meeting all kinds of new civilizations along the way. Just ask Captain Kirk.
