Does anyone know the weight differences between the manual systems (gear and flaps) vs the electric systems? It seems like it wouldn't be much.

FTW! As my kids would say. It takes a far better pilot to cancel a trip than it does to push their limits.

The latest release of FlyQ is compatible with the Stratux SSID.

I think the FAA would disagree. It is no more of an indicator than the switch for electric gear.

It may seem redundant in a J-bar Mooney but remember that "Landing Gear Position Indicator" is on the list of required VFR equipment under 91.205.

Looks like there may be some in England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttleworth_Collection

Sounds about right.

Yep, there it is buried in the comments of one of the original posts in r/flying. If you limit your search to the r/stratux subreddit you won't find it. Which is really what I think Yetti and I were saying. There's a lot of noise on Reddit and you have to dig for useful info. I was really just looking for the config information since you had asked but I didn't get a chance to look at the config files on my stratux card. It looks like you have what you need now. I hope you are able to get it working with FlyQ. Let us know if it works.

That is definitely true! Which is probably why the question was posted here. There are lots of statements there about changing the SSID but nobody has bothered to share details. The SSID is specified in the uncompiled build but I haven't had a chance to look for a config file in the image.

Assumptions are necessary at the beginning but the iterative process of evaluating a theory relative to new evidence tends to balance out initial assumptions. This only works if you are truly willing to challenge preconceived notions based upon new evidence. Those that are opposed to evolutionary theory tend to start with a strongly held belief system based upon ancient texts. Please understand that I consider myself a religious person but I am also a scientist. The scientific evidence for evolution (when viewed from an unbiased perspective) simply does not support a literal interpretation of the biblical creation story.

I'm sure you're right. It was just an attempt to make a joke about outdated units. I've never used Rankine (or Reaumur for that matter) so I couldn't tell you what the conversion factors are.

It's been documented on the Stratux Reddit page that FlyQ looks for an SSID of "StratusXXXXX". The default SSID of "Stratux" doesn't get identified by the software as an ADS-B device.

The disorder in all systems does not increase at all times. Only the total amount of disorder increases. Energy is constantly input into the system (earth) from the sun. Evolutionary theory does not violate any of the things you mention. In fact it is the only theory that supports all of the observable evidence.

Do you also run your engine 479 deg Rankine LOP?

Hartzell offered a limited time deal for half price on a replacement hub. I flew my M20D to Piqua and had the Hartzell factory service center do the overhaul. Others probably took advantage of the same deal.

Both outdated and superseded by the SI. The unit exists but it is no more part of the current metric system than a stone or a fortnight.

Dynes is not a unit in the current SI (metric system).

The name doesn't change when the decimal moves, only the prefix changes. The name changes are far worse in our system. For distance we have Inches, Feet, Yards, and Miles and the conversion rates between them have to be memorized because it is impossible to guess what they should be.

GPS comes to mind, along with pretty much anything else that uses satellites for things like television and weather. Some technology finds its way more or less directly to us but NASA isn’t really in the business of developing consumer products. Most of the benefits we get come from the basic scientific research. That research has given us a better understanding of human physiology, materials engineering, and the earth’s climate among other things. There is also the secondary effect of training new scientists through research partnerships with universities and directly through postdoctoral programs at NASA. The benefits of scientific research often aren’t observable for years or even decades as the research leads to engineering which leads to products. For what it’s worth, Velcro and Tang weren’t invented by NASA. They were both around before the space program.

It's part of the most recent beta. From what I've seen it looks like you have to do some soldering to get the AHRS data to the Pi.

If we want to have any hope of diverting a large asteroid from a collision course with earth we had better have the technology to travel farther than low earth orbit.

It does require more fuel but you are assuming that everything (crew, fuel, mission vehicle) all need to be launched together as a single unit. That was a viable approach for lunar missions in the 60s and 70s. Fortunately we have come a long way since then. Orbital assembly and fueling of the mission vehicle is now feasible.

Lots of reports of the USB connector breaking on that unit. If you are planning to attach one to a Stratux it might be worth using a USB extension cable to reduce the strain on the connector.

Achieving escape velocity and traveling great distances through space are really different problems. Getting into space requires a ridiculous amount of fuel but once free of Earth orbit you only need to burn enough fuel to accelerate to your cruise velocity. After that distance is largely irrelevant.

Passive-aggressive much?
