I thought I'd start a thread on Aviation. It's my career field and a lifelong interest.   A few years ago, I had an opportunity to see the Dreamlifter 747 LCF (Large Cargo Freighter) up close. As

That picture of Rare Bear reminded me of Lyle Shelton. My friend had subleased a hangar at Compton airport. One day Lyle came by and picked up some things left behind. There was a propeller and extra blades, etc. for a Bearcat and a few other odds and ends.

 

Back in the mid 70s, I was working as a machinist for Bob Mullen working on race engine cylinder heads. Bob had designed the first Top Fuel Aluminum Hemi engine just a few years earlier for Donovan... the Donovan 417, based on the 392 Hemi. He also had a contract with Chrysler "Direct Connection" to port all the 426 Hemi and 340 heads and we did a lot of Pro-Stock porting. He even had a contract with George Bignotti (Indy race team) to manufacture redesigned cylinder-head assemblies for Offys. I recall doing some work for Dave Zeuschel and Mullen showed me pix of Zeuschel's shop. Zeuschel, of course, was very active in Unlimited racing at Reno as well as drag racing. Apparently, I was fortunate to have attended two of the Mojave races before they were ended. Lefty Gardner was there as well as the big DC-7.

I could look at aircraft all day long. My favorite is WW2 aircraft, actually use to play a flight simulator called Aces High 2, AH2. My love for that era increased when I found out my wife's grandpa flew 27 missions in a B17. This painting is about the bombing raid on a Oil Refinery in Hamburg, he's the copilot in the lead plane.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
