Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

I was looking at building a cozy and then got distracted by quickie 2s,
which are quick but a bit too deadly for me to think about. I can do pretty
much everything needed to build a Tailwind and it would make a nice long
term project. I can do everything needed to build a Lancair or a quickie
also, but honestly neither one seems as solid a performer as the tailwind,
and the tailwind kit is only about 6k plus motor.

The cozy appeals in terms of stall resistance, as that is what seems to
kill a lot of people when the power goes out on small planes. Cozy is also
very efficient. Nice combo. Price might be more than I want to pay though.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

The Tailwind (one of them anyway) holds the record for speed in it's class
in the SARL races - averaging 235 around a closed course. I think he hits
over 250 ...
It was the first amateur built experiment to be certified to carry
passengers by the FAA in (IIRC) 1955. Steve Wittman, the designer and air
racer, built it to fly parts and support between races.

I like it's looks better than those plastic planes - especially as it's
faster! The lifting body is part of it, as is the necked down wing cord at
the root - reducing interference drag between the wing and fuselage as well
as placing the center of lift where it needs to be while allowing a more
streamlined fuselage. The spring steel landing gear (used bu Cessna and
many others) were also Wittman's invention, and patented by him.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[OK Don via Mercedes]

The 707's are still flying - over my house almost everyday, though they are
called KC-135's now. My son, the engineer, over see's repairs on the fleet
at Tinker AFB now. They can make any part they need to keep them in the
air. It's quite the operation. I forget the frequency, but they come into
Tinker on a schedule, get stripped down to the bare metal, gone over with a
fine toothed comb, all repairs made (mostly corrosion - turns out spot
welds are not a good idea for aluminum skins), and sent back into duty.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

I'm sure Catto would make me a small 3 blade prop that's reasonably efficient 
at 3200rpm/140hp/200kts/FL120
and cruises nicely at 2800-3000rpm. But takeoff and low speed climb performance 
would stink. Blades would probably be stalled on the runway. And of course the 
prop/hub would cost me thousands more than the engine.

IME, SW's round trip prices are outbound + inbound = RT. 
The other majors used to (maybe still do?) charge more for one way than for RT. 
So SW might be 250+250=$500
But AA might be 500+500=$400, and they'll get mad at you if you buy the $400 RT 
and don't use the return flight.

[MBZ] Windows 10 upgrade on PC

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

Kaleb,
Have you checked that you have the latest updates for Win7 before you try to do 
the upgrade?  Also, it may be that you are upgrading from an Ultimate version, 
which is possible, but again, it should end up as Win10 Pro.  I've only 
upgraded from Win7 Pro 64-bit to Win10 Pro 64-bit and that has worked great on 
several PCs.

Only in my dreams. 
First started dreaming in 2018 when I found an ad for an unbuilt 25 year old 
Lancair 235 kit for $8k.
It appears that Tailwind (fixed gear) falls between 2 seat Lancair (retracts) 
and RV-8 (fixed) in efficiency / straight line speed, and should be cheaper 
than either. Making the fuselage a lifting body was apparently a stroke of 
genius, it's not as beautiful as a Lancair but it's pretty darn fast for fixed 
gear, especially considering the age of the design.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

If you want to see some of the oldest airframes still in regular service, hang 
out at KMIA or KFLL and watch the cargo terminals. There are tons of old 
aircraft still flying cargo into and out of South and Central America.

I can recall seeing 707s and even the occasional DC-3 there. I’m sure the DC-3s 
are long gone, but I’ll bet there’s still a bunch of old stuff down there.

 Kaleb,
 Did you check for an installation or error log or event log that might 
 give you the exact cause for the load failure?  If you have Ultimate, you 
 will end up with Win10 Pro, not Ultimate.  Are you certain that your Win7 
 ultimate product key is a valid key?  I ordered a thumb drive from a guy 
 on eBay that will install Win10 or do fixes to existing installs of Win10 
 (I think it was around $11).  If you can get Win10 installed, go to a junk 
 computer store or Goodwill and copy the product key off a box and use it.  
 MS will take the valid key and give you a new digital key.  I have a 
 Dell460 that I got last summer, supposed to have Win10Pro but it was Win10 
 Enterprise without a valid product key.  Since I can't get a valid key, I 
 may just do a Win10 Pro upgrade on it to make it valid.
 You need to find out specifically what is blocking the upgrade.  As I said 
 before, it could be the need for a BIOS upgrade as it will prevent the 
 upgrade also.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Eventually the fuselage or wings will get enough cracks they aren't economic to 
repair as the pressurization cycles accumulate.  At some point the risk of 
massive failure will outweigh the cost to replace, and they will be broken up.

Very few DC-8 or 707's left, ditto for 727's and early model 737's.  They have 
all exceeded their economic life, and were broken up for the aluminum.  I 
believe there are two complete Lockheed Super Constellations left -- one in 
Australia and The Columbine, Eisenhower's AF1 that was still in flying 
condition in the early 2000's at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH.

Kaleb,
Reboot your win 7 computer to safe mode. Then find the option that 
lets you
boot it to a previous date when it ran on Win 7. [should be a list of 
saved

times when it did backups...
The earlier boot backup will have the Win 7 key and run normally... from
that, recover the key.
Win 10 wants to take over, so when it installs it wipes out the registry,
thus your Win 7 key file to take over..
I hate everything Win 10 does. Personally, I intend to run Win 7 until its
wheels fall off..
Perhaps, by then.. "Win 12 or something will work"...

Getting back to dangerous hogs...

What caused the "violent fall" that left Yoenis Céspedes
 with multiple right ankle fractures at
his ranch last year, costing him all of the 2019 season and a big chunk of
his ‘20 salary
?


The incident led the Mets to restructure Céspedes' contract for the 2020
season. Instead of the original $29.5 million he was slated to make in the
final year of his four-year, $110 million deal with New York, he's only
guaranteed $6 million, which would increase to $11 million if he makes the
Opening Day roster or a prorated version of that amount if he makes it 
back

to the Major League club later in the season.

Yea I have that and it shows no key activated

Microsoft - Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)    00426-065-4097422-86619 (Key: 
none activated)


Now that I think about it the install I used was some sort of 
enterprise version I got from my brother which can supposedly be 
installed on multiple computers.  I used this same install on my 
laptop that the screen when out.  I will hook it up to my monitor then 
run Belarc on it and get the key off that computer.  Wait nevermind 
that wont work because I upgraded that laptop to 10 already.  Crap.  I 
am going to have to hunt for the CD or else pay for a license.

restore from backup.   You did   make a backup before you started this, 
Right?   Or you have a backup from last week?


there IS a log somewhere on your machine that will have the info about 
WHY the downgrade failed.   This log will be destroyed when you restore 
from backup.

I have no idea. I have a 2 tb SSD which I just installed not long ago 
and everything was running great. It was installing and I left it 
along then came back later and it was restarting in windows 7. Just 
said installation failed and rolled back the changes. Previous to this 
I checked the properties and it said windows 7 was active and genuine. 
Now it’s as if the product key is missing and wants me to activate. I 
can’t seem to find disc I used which has the key on it. Right now it 
keeps say I need to activate now.


When I did it on my laptop it also failed the first time and rolled 
back to win 7 but did not have the missing key issue. I just ran it 
again and it took on the 2nd time/

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

What what I read looks like it could be something with an antivirus program. 
Only thing that was running on this machine was the Microsoft security 
essentials. During the install it says something about it not being compatible 
so I disabled it. On 2nd attempt it said same thing. I just installed it and 
will try it again and see what happens.

It looks like it installs 10 but then does updates which fail so it reverts 
back.

[MBZ] OT best data recovery tool?

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Well I messed up and created the win 10 installation tool on my external hard 
drive that I also use for backing up data.

Creating the installation tool has over written about 6 GB on the drive. There 
were several hundred GB of data, so much of that is still there, but now hidden.

Can anyone recommend a date recovery tool for Windows, to find and restore as 
many files as possible?

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

Kaleb,
Did you check for an installation or error log or event log that might give you 
the exact cause for the load failure?  If you have Ultimate, you will end up 
with Win10 Pro, not Ultimate.  Are you certain that your Win7 ultimate product 
key is a valid key?  I ordered a thumb drive from a guy on eBay that will 
install Win10 or do fixes to existing installs of Win10 (I think it was around 
$11).  If you can get Win10 installed, go to a junk computer store or Goodwill 
and copy the product key off a box and use it.  MS will take the valid key and 
give you a new digital key.  I have a Dell460 that I got last summer, supposed 
to have Win10Pro but it was Win10 Enterprise without a valid product key.  
Since I can't get a valid key, I may just do a Win10 Pro upgrade on it to make 
it valid.
You need to find out specifically what is blocking the upgrade.  As I said 
before, it could be the need for a BIOS upgrade as it will prevent the upgrade 
also.
Good luck,

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

> I'd like to have 64 thinking that I can use the 8 GB of RAM installed.

The 'bitness' of an OS is not a single number.  There's half a dozen ways to 
measure this,
each with different implications.  There have been any number of '32-bit' OS's 
in the past
that are quite capable of using more than 4GB of RAM.  It's just that no single 
_process_
could directly use more than 4GB unless that process was using a 64-bit address 
space.

There's a lot to be said for using 32-bit processes on a 64-bit-capable 
machine/OS.  They
tend to use memory more efficiently.  I have a small write-up:

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Kaleb,
Reboot your win 7 computer to safe mode. Then find the option that lets you
boot it to a previous date when it ran on Win 7. [should be a list of saved
times when it did backups...
The earlier boot backup will have the Win 7 key and run normally... from
that, recover the key.
Win 10 wants to take over, so when it installs it wipes out the registry,
thus your Win 7 key file to take over..
I hate everything Win 10 does. Personally, I intend to run Win 7 until its
wheels fall off..
Perhaps, by then.. "Win 12 or something will work"...

Re: [MBZ] OT Hog advice

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Getting back to dangerous hogs...

What caused the "violent fall" that left Yoenis Céspedes
 with multiple right ankle fractures at
his ranch last year, costing him all of the 2019 season and a big chunk of
his ‘20 salary
?

A run-in with a wild boar, MLB.com confirmed. The story was reported by the
New York Post on Frida

y

.

• Revisiting MLB's strangest injuries


Per the Post, the Mets outfielder was injured when a boar was removed from
a trap at his ranch in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and "either charged toward
Céspedes or startled him," leading to him stepping into a hole and
fracturing his ankle.

The team hasn't commented on the report.

Céspedes immediately informed the Mets of the injury and how it happened,
according to the Post. Mets officials and Céspedes' representatives, who
visited the ranch the next day, and MLB Commissioner's Office and Players
Association officials, who visited at a later date, agreed on Céspedes'
version of the events -- that he was avoiding a wild boar.

At the time he fractured his ankle, Céspedes was already recovering from
surgeries to remove calcifications and bone spurs in both heels, which had
sidelined him since July 20, 2018, the last time he took the field for the
Mets.

At the time, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen didn't comment on exactly
how Céspedes had fractured his ankle, beyond saying it was a violent fall
and Céspedes had twisted his ankle in the hole.

The incident led the Mets to restructure Céspedes' contract for the 2020
season. Instead of the original $29.5 million he was slated to make in the
final year of his four-year, $110 million deal with New York, he's only
guaranteed $6 million, which would increase to $11 million if he makes the
Opening Day roster or a prorated version of that amount if he makes it back
to the Major League club later in the season.

I forget, did Don ever get the Tailwind airworthy?
If so, maybe he and Kaleb could fly to RI together at 150 kts. 
But not this year, if Kaleb is taking the family to Maine.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

If you just went on the extreme low end average of about $500 per car probably 
around $40k. On the extreme low end. If the time was taken to get the ones 
running that need to be, or actually price and sell them individually I would 
not be surprised at $100k. Realistically though I have a ton of parts cars, and 
parts that I’m probably never going to use. On a rare occasion something might 
come up I need a part off of and it’s pretty nice. I also have a bunch of 
project cars I probably will never get to. If I could get it down to maybe 10 
projects and enough parts cars to support them I might be doing good. That is 
in addition to the 8 or so daily drivers they come into and out of circulation.

Resist the temptation.
Leather, being leather, absorbs moisture, so soon it will mold, rot and

There are no “Kleb cars” in the airplane world. If there were, there would be a

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[List Owner via Mercedes]

Yea I have that and it shows no key activated

Microsoft - Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)	00426-065-4097422-86619 (Key: none 
activated)


Now that I think about it the install I used was some sort of enterprise 
version I got from my brother which can supposedly be installed on 
multiple computers.  I used this same install on my laptop that the 
screen when out.  I will hook it up to my monitor then run Belarc on it 
and get the key off that computer.  Wait nevermind that wont work 
because I upgraded that laptop to 10 already.  Crap.  I am going to have 
to hunt for the CD or else pay for a license.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

So when are you going to buy a plane? You could then fly yourself to the 
chowda-Q, fly for work and write that off, fly Tin Man or Clay around to 
collect cars for you.

Local story yesterday or day before, small plane crashed, so injuries. Plane 
came down in some big trees, but had a parachute. Get a plane with a parachute 
built in!

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Airlines don't want DC-10s -- too expensive to operate compared to a 777 or 767 
with similar capacity.  However, that makes them 'cheap' by aircraft standards, 
they fly reasonably well, and with a few exceptions, are well built and strong. 
 

The design defects that cause issues with passenger use (weak floors, flat 
pressure bulkhead at the rear of the fuselage, inadequate tail surface, engine 
issues, etc) aren't  problems with hauling cargo.  Since they are in use 
currently with the Air Force, parts are readily available at reasonable prices, 
hard to turn them down.

FedEx bought a bunch of them when the airlines retired them, I'd guess will fly 
them until they either become too relatively expensive compared to retired 777 
or 767 aircraft or the military retires them and parts dry up.  

It's all about the lowest cost for the most freight hauled, and fuel 
consumption isn't the only thing to consider!  

I don't think Lockheed ever got a freight variant certified.

The 747 is a bit stronger, as it was designed to meet the military spec for the 
aircraft that ended up as the C5A -- if you can find it, the photograph of the 
first production model standing on it's tail (with a massive skid plate) 
meeting the C5A takeoff requirement is amazing.  So is the shot of the wet 
pavement minimum roll-out (4500 ft) -- the bottom flap section is vertical and 
maybe six feet off the ground.

If it’s in the air or has been in the air within a few hours. If you’re a

some information on the aircraft based on the tail number even if you’re not a

My understanding is fedex has a whole bunch of Dc 10s in their fleet. I guess 
they make good cargo jets. 

I’m really sad the 747 is being phased out for passenger use. I have never 
flown on one and would like to before you can’t anymore.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

It was a mocked up "hybrid" -- and you are right, sure looks like a DC-7 or 
DC-6 fuselage with jet wings and screwy rear engine setup.

Deliberately NOT anything recognizable as a production aircraft to avoid the 
implication that some commercial aircraft wasn't safe.

And not flyable, with engines on the horizontal stabilizer.

Wife was watching a movie this morning, “Fate is the Hunter” with Glenn Ford. 
It’s about an airline crash that is being investigated and Ford is an exec of 
the airline that owned the plane.

What was weird was the plane - it appeared to be some sort of mocked up version 
of a DC-7. The engine placement was quite unusual.

It's amazing how long some of those old birds keep working -- someone hauling 
freight crashed a Convair 240 last fall in northern Illinois I think, built in 
1951 or so and still running piston engines!

The DC-10 wasn't the worlds best designed or most advanced aircraft for it's 
time, but like all Douglas aircraft, it's pretty tough.

Lockheed's L1011 was a much better design, but the market at the time could not 
support two, let alone three, widebody long range aircraft, to say nothing of 
being unable to support three major manufacturers and both the DC-10 and L1011 
went out of production fairly quickly.  

The AF bought DC-10s as airborne refueling aircraft, which is probably why

Re: [MBZ] should a bid a Kaleb for it? -- rear bumber

Dan, you are too serious!

It’s been parked in my driveway for the last three weeks. I see it 
several times a day at least. With my beautiful black plastic weld 
material over the gold paint on the rear bumper, too. And earlier this 
week the drive’s window regulator broke, or something connected to it, 
so if you roll the window down it tips back at a crazy angle. Red 
electrical tape on the switch to remind me not to use it.


And it hasn’t acted up with the BAS/EPC/stuff in some time, either, so 
it’s playing nice. Other than the crappy gas mileage, I like it. It’s 
done yeoman’s work when it came to the move.


And trust me, I didn’t buy a house to win a bet. Happy wife = happy life.

Re: [MBZ] What do you guys think of this weld?

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

That is my question too.  If the original system had a joint that could be
undone with hand tools, why is that no longer the case?  Was there a leak /
rust at the joint?

Re: [MBZ] ChowdaQ 2020?

Lately I've found that Google Flights is the best search engine, but
sometimes it is not so easy to translate a flight you find into a ticket,
as you have to use a different website to find that ticket at that price so
you can buy it.

[MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

Kaleb,
Much like problem determination on a car, you need to provide more than "it 
failed for some reason".  Was it hardware, too little disk space, bad Win7 
product id, etc.  You have until Jan. 14 to upgrade using the free upgrade with 
a valid Win7 product ID.
Best Wishes,
Roger

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’ve done the same on occasion. That and look up 899T (Dad’s V35 Bonanza) to 
see where it’s at. I’ll also plug them into Flight Radar and see where they’ve 
been lately, too.

Interesting. I’m surprised at the number of red eyes I see. I thoguht the 
airlines had cut down on these significantly...

Me dad's old plane up until he passed in 1983.  I had about 50 hours in it
myself back then.
