Up

Then study em and we can mass produce til we get better equipped

May well do that. Only problem is theyd get bubba'd and that'll mean regulations

4 wheels are sketcky enough

Let's be honest here

A fucking motorized parachute is bubba'd as is 😂

🤣🤣🤣

You're not wrong unfortunately

Still cool as shit tho

Biggest draw for me is that I found a channel where the guy running it has multiple stories of accidentally running from the cops on one. Usually nosy Nellie's calling the law cause they don't understand and they can't pursue him in the air

id rather use a glider than that thing

When I save up for one and find a nice patch of nothing where I can pop off some rounds that might go completely sideways, I'll let y'all know if they're useful 🤣

I really do not think they'd be hard to produce at all

Definitely not, there's guides all over the place. Biggest issue is training. There's a specific feeling you gotta get used to and you have to have some actual muscle to get liftoff

Would be cool to get some aircraft techs in here or pilots

Oh yes

My best friends dad has one of those powered parachutes. His chassis is way bigger than the one pictured though. Pretty loud, definitely no stealth entry

The paramotors are definitely fucking noisy. I would be curious to see if we can find a good stealth solution or if they can get high enough to recon without too much noise

Rather, how high off the ground you wohld have to be to be out of earshot. That sounds a little better

Drones maybe?

I saw mention of the DJI Mavic drones. Those are pretty quiet but theyre cell phone controlled and have GPS on them

And if they're not the mini they have to be FAA registered. Racing drones are much louder but arent limited by FAA regulations. No gps/tracking on most units and theyre DIY. Downfall is theyre much harder to control and the AV hardware is lacking unless youre paying big bucks

Also leave you pretty defenseless unless you have a team

Because they have large video receiver that you wear on your face

Would it be possible to take one of the racing ones that don’t have to be regulated and put quieter motors on them?

Im sure they sell quieter motors But im not positive on performance and whatnot

I’ve played around with some friends cheaper ones just fucking around in the back yard with them, but have absolutely zero expertise with the bigger ones

The racing ones can also be fucking FAST

I keep like there are certain situations that the speed could come in handy, but the noise would be a dead giveaway and leave someone a sitting duck

And unfortunately theyre not cheap enough to just have a pile of

Strap a thermal camera to drone

FLIR medium range cameras aren’t that expensive...that could work

When SHTF we won’t be worried about FAA we can buy used ones that have been pre reg or from pre registration nera

I just got my ass whipped by a shitty header on a dodge truck

Ha loser

Correct

i wonder if computing counts as mechanics here lol

Did 7 years in Ford dealerships, glad to be out

@Garet such as? Im sure theres a good bit here you could do as well as Intel

mmm i suppose programming, networking, automation, websites

hardware recommendations idk

im fairly well rounded on the software side

@Garet in your opinion what is the next step for servers/communities like this in becoming independent of larger companies and networks

well if i had the resources i would say you'd really want more of a blockchain-style messaging system with the ability for groups to set their own permissions and level of discoverability. combine that with an easy way for barely-computer-literate folks to mirror a community site. kinda like how thepiratebay keeps itself up with tons of mirrors of the same data

though you could get fancier

make more-or-less another internet, like TOR does @Diggs™

Wow. That’s very mechanical

All software requires proper hardware. Ham Radio has progressed significantly over the years and could probably support local servers via CHIRP. Private encrypted LAN servers running linux could also support local supply chains or people networks with digital communications and intel.

@Shane_NA6 - Haven't hovered in years but I have 105 hours in a training helo, Robinson R-22.

Good shit

It's been a long goddamn day

@yeetasaurus drink that pain away bub

Bacardi and Crown are both tempting

Bacardi

Although I don't feel like mixing a drink currently

Sup everyone. Racecar building/engine assembly/welder and hopefully soon to be roll cage builder. Way things are going it looks like it’ll be more armor than roll cages but 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good shit. Glad to have you with us

Back to drones for a min. Def stay away from DJI. They control where you fly and track everything. Ready made rc sells everything you need to roll your own. Also check out tiny woop. They fit in the palm of your hand and have a camera that transmits to a video receiver. Also it’s not the motors that are noisy it’s the props. DJI props are about as quiet as you can get but still sound like bees. There are some pretty cheap bad ass planes that have long range and good cameras and can glide pretty far. Rmrc sells all that

The other big companies are FPV and surprisingly Amazon sells a ton for decently cheap

Does anybody else's 2A budget have any competition?

Im going to be spending money on my car soon, but thats just an unfortunate side effect of being a car guy

I feel the pain

I know how to work on any Chrysler vehicle and cummins stuff im a certified FCA tech

Dank

I’m a industrial compressor and engine mechanic

I work on fords in my spare time

I'm a GM certified master tech but i left that because if its not a pushrod V8 it was trash and i hated warranty, so i work on european/exotic shit now

American motors went to junk there for a while

The newer gassers seem to be a ton better

Here I am, picking up a Discovery 1.... aka : the only reliable land rover...

nice dude. might be getting by first bike here soon

What bike

Got this on the back of my cbr300

2012 suzuki s40 I think

Nice

yee neighbor just got a bigger bike and wants to sell it to me for like 1k

@PANZER that looks like a good how to. I'll have to check it out later

So what shtf vehicles are y’all working on

Wife and I are looking at purchasing either a small transit bus or a box truck to turn into a mobile bugout home.

Very nice

I’m working on an old 83 bronco right now

Debating on the fuel system

I have a 650 carb sitting in the garage I can throw on it for free but I kinda want a EFI replacement

i really want a fj70 troop hauler

That would be sweet

Those are goofy looking but they do their job well

there was 2 for sale on craigs for under 30 grand but i aint got that money

Oof

I picked up my bronco for 800 bucks lmao

nice

I put a battery in it and drove it up on to my trailer

The guy I bought it from was pretty upset, he had it for 4 years and could get it to run

retard

what is a test light

I have a slightly better than stock 351 I’m putting together to drop into it for a rebuild

Nah it was straight up a junk battery, he couldn’t jump it to start it but never bought a new battery
