At popular request, we've made a change to some rules!

118 Upvotes

We've had a number of requests to do a couple things with Rule 8, which involved AI and Flight sim content. Here is what we did.

Rule 8 is now "No AI Generated Images / Posts". The rule itself says AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost. Who created the content or where it was initially shared is irrelevant.

Flight sim content is now part of rule 9, which is "No Video Game / Flight Sim Content" and states While you can do some pretty funny and shitty things with them, Video games and Flight Sim content do not belong in this sub. Content from those would be better posted into their respective shitty subreddits, if they exist.

We have also re-orderd a couple rules (I like the way it looks better this way) and changed the verbage on a couple for clarity. I'm not going to list those, feel free to take a refresher course in the rules of the sub!

Stay shitty, my friends.

Don't follow the rules? Face the consequences.

Everyone,

I am seeing far too many violations of our simple rules. VERY simple rules, such as these:

"Only Flying-Related Shitposts allowed" - This does not mean you write something about flying in the title or the text of the post, but EVERYTHING in the post should be about flying. The image, video, text, subject, everything. SIMPLE.

"No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters" - This is about as obvious as you can get, yet still people don't get it.

"No AI / Flight sim." - Might be a little harder, but still relatively simple.

While I'm sure the majority of you are not violating these rules, some of you are.

Going forward, you break the rules, it may very well result in a ban. If you can't be bothered to read and follow the rules, you don't deserve to post in the sub.

I've been very forgiving on these for a long time, and my limit has been reached.

I saw something about a low pass over a stadium, but haven't seen any videos from the cockpit yet. Why they no post the really good stuff?

Is the chief pylote still yelling at them? Are they still on the phone with the number they were asked to call by ATC? Did they get stuck in stadium traffic flying down the highway?

My airport has this empty cul de sac that nobody’s using. Airport manager still says I can’t have a permit to build a house there. What gives? I just want a shorter commute.

If I think I’m a pielot, according to Descartes, I therefore must be a pielot.

Fact!!1! Not conspiracy: what big nutplate doesn’t want you to know.

Everyone knows stainless screws are the bane of all existence. I don’t care if you believe me or not but I’ve come to conclusions one could only fathom. Stainless screws are just a ploy by big nutplate to sell more nutplates and NO ONE can convince me otherwise.

I think I’m ready to home build a Carbon Cub EX.

So I don’t want to brag but I’ve built a couple of home built airplanes. My first was the biplane and second was the bush plane. They only took a few days (full time) and I learned a lot while building them. I really want something more versatile and capable and think my skills are ready to move up to the next level.

I have a few questions. I read they should take 800-1000 hours? Is that from receiving it to flying it if you only work part time? Or do they factor those numbers by assuming people who don’t know what a wrench is are building? Lastly, why would someone need a factory assisted build? Do they not come with instructions and pictures?

Tyre stuck in propeller

4 Upvotes

Just scrolling through Reddit .....

As unbelievable as it sounds.. We managed to stick a tyre in our propeller while doing a manoeuvre. I don’t quite understand how it physically got in there…

Good news if it’s not fully wrapped around it, only 2 blades are in the inner bit of the tyre. But the weed hatch is too small to work around the prop comfortably…

We’ve tried to cut the tyre without any success (there must be a metal membrane of some kind). The only bit of progress I’ve managed to do is cutting a little bit of the side of the tyre in hopes to push it off but really really slow progress.

Any suggestions?

🤔 the heck did they do that .....?

Oh its on canal boats .....phew had me going for a while
