I'm confident in your ability to get a jeep airborne but I'm not sure how you will keep it up there with just a little Subaru engine and some fancy prop action.

This isn't going to be a "As god as my witness I thought turkeys jeeps could fly" situation is it? :ohdear:

I'm looking forward to seeing how you build a plane. Your normal antics are pretty great but controlled flight is on a whole other level of cool.

My sleeping on the drive home story:

Totaled a Focus with about 24000km (Maybe 4 months old?) on it. What' s funny is the fact that the way you described waking up was visceral enough to make me gasp in sympathy, been there man.

I rolled my car. A few days later I had a small panic attack when they showed the in-car of this video:

Technically brake rotors and calipers match the first 2 requirements. (You never said drive safely)

They're *high tension* wires, thanks much.

The subtle difference between "can carry" and "can be subjected to"

Also voltage and physical force

I guess that pun was more for the 50+ year old British demographic... :ninja:

I work in Xray and for some reason we all still refer to the cables carying kV levels of electricity as high tension. So 50 year old brits. And xray repair guys.

wouldn't marrettes be really bad in a high vibration environment?


Someone should invent a thing where it's a metal tube, that you could insert stranded wire into both ends and crimp down on them. Then the physical pressure of the crimping would form a molecular level bond with the wire. And that's not even the clever part! The clever part is that you then put the entire assembly in pre-applied and cut heat shrink so you can make it even more moisture and vibration resistant.

It's a shame such a thing doesn't exist.
