The Swoosh was born 9 years ago in 2015, and ever since then I’ve been developing, revamping and and advancing the concept!

Sometimes its easy to loose sight of that fact, but here’s a visual of all the iterations, successes and failures that have built what I’ve done up to now #avgeek #rc
I was supposed to do some form of studying today. And yesterday. And the day before that. Aaaaand the day before that.

Really I just suck at making myself study when I should.

Cadillac revives the XLR, but its a bespoke carbon fiber mid engine chassis that uses the ZR1 Gemini engine, and is benched at a 500K-1M price, to be a new GM hypercar.

Nephew seems to do very well with his plane now. He knows how to keep it at a direction he wants, responds on the fly, and keeps it under control. Maybe in only two more sessions he'll be ready for the next step up.

I never got a definitive conclusions on the true difference between inrunner and outrunner motors (I'm certain I've already said this before).

Right now, there's two distinctions: inrunners offer an advantage at higher revolutions due to lower angular momentum of the

At some point I need to make an EDF canard design. Based off the way I think EDFs get their best thrust, a Canard would be a great way to minimize drag while retaining traditional aero controls.

I never built a canard before tho, so it would be a bit of a learning curve for me.

Damn barely counts as a profanity in my opinion... but the current story of my swears is that I'm very much frustrated lol

Also da...fuck man, 6,052 posts!
@airheadedaviator.bsky.social has swears! They've used 307 profanities in their last 6,052 posts.

Saw my first EVO! This would be the 10, and normally it's hard to tell if I'm seeing an Evo or not cause Lancer's are popular cars to mod anyway. #carbluesky

First crash with Antagonist today. Ran out of power and tip stalled on landing in a glide. Struck a wing and the nose, but it handled the crash very well.

This is why its valuable to have a spare glue gun and inverter to make the quick repair, and go back flying 💪🏾

A Rogue One Edition Nissan Rogue!
Gotta be a true Nissan and Star Wars fan to cop one of these babies

Remember when I said Antagonist has twice the power of Bullfighter? Well that might be BullSHIT

I looked up the stats on Bullfighters motor again, the NTM 3536 1800Kv motor (version 1) and found a thrust test on it.

A motor that is "rated" at 875 watts is pushing 1400 on my chosen prop 👁️👄👁️ #avgeek
It has twice the power, probably twice the thrust, and higher efflux, and yet Antagomist STILL feels only about as fast as Bullfighter

I can only theorize that the limitations are coming from Antagonists greater frontal area. Its darn near double that of Bullfighter, which relates to twice the drag

I was stuck at home all summer and found the military channel, and got to watch Dogfights marathons all day.

Now I want to design (non-military) airplanes

Quickly last night I wanted to test a divergent intake on an EDF.

Divergent types are typically on real Turbofans; they force the incoming air to slow down, which makes it denser. For jet engines, its desirable for engine performance. I thought that for an EDF, it would be good for mass flow

If you are queer, transgendered, gay, lesbian and you need a parent to love you during the holidays in place of the one(s) that may have rejected you, then DM me. I'm your new granny.
New: If you're queer, you know that the holidays can be rough. Maybe you have a bad relationship with your family and holidays carry painful memories. I spoke to LGBTQ+ Texans across the state about how they find community this time of year: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Bullfighter is fixed, plus has a new belly hump to help avoid more firewall damages, and Antagonist has thrust body objects to get even more performance out of it.

Maybe tomorrow we'll give em a fly to see how they are. Hopefully good cause I don't want to have to fix the fixes 😅

#weirdcarbs a good video that reminds me that people typically aren't a hobbyist of one. So Weird Car BS, what are y'alls other hobby?

Question for people in Los Angeles: are y'all having a media black out right now? I couldn't connect to any socials while on that location

I've almost driven every configuration of engine.

I4, V6, Hybrid, EV, V8, V12, Flat 6, turbocharged, supercharged, front, mid, and rear engined.

To be driven is a V10, I5, a Flat 4, a Rotary, and I guess Flat 12 tho THAT will be unlikely!
