I am based there. City hangers have roller doors and probably 30% came off their tracks and either fell outward or are leaning against the airplane inside. The WW2 hangers were refurbished about 5 years ago and lost most of their roofs. Some steel buildings that were being leased lost most of...

I am on the "equipment supplier" side of SatComm(I'm the "RF guy" so amps, frequency converters, BUCs, LNA/Bs etc. are my babies). One of the bigger growth markets for us relates to SatComm terminals to go on the plane for IFE(and other) data links. So look to people like ViaSat, GoGo(now...

For the calipers, fab up a grease zerk to brake fitting adapter and force them out that way.

Given its shape, there likely was a small ball under it that actually made the seal. You probably got new ones with your kit. Typically they come with one ball (steel) that you put in place and tap to form a seat in the carb body. Then there is a different ball(with a small weight on top)...

Hard to see the scale but possibly a weight that is used on the check valve for the accelerator pump. I've seen them as two pieces(a weight plus a ball bearing) or one(weight with a tapered end)

I installed one in a set of SoftComm headsets a few years ago. Seems to work fine. I used the 9V battery for a few years(battery use didn't seem excessive as long as I remembered to turn it off after flight), now have it wired into the ships battery Haven't really compared it to anything else...

Not certain it is OK to do on a certified plane but... On my experimental, I used my lathe and turned up some shouldered Aluminum pieces with a a tapered ID to match the inexpensive cone isolators. These pieces were a light press fit into the 0-200 ears. Each mounting ear took two adapters, one...

Saw a link to this (apparently peer reviewed paper) elsewhere :https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.13484 " Background and Aims The most restrictive non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) for controlling the spread of COVID‐19 are mandatory stay‐at‐home and business closures...

That is a great question! I would expect that if the "non-elective" ICU patients were truly being "turned away", the headlines would be everywhere. In the early days, AZ state edict was to halt all elective surgeries. AFAIK, that has not been widely implemented again. Perhaps the distinction...

It would but it hasn't been proven the vaccine has any impact on "susceptibility and contagiousness". The key is one can't automatically equate "% of population vaccinated" as a simple "Add that % to the herd immunity pool" 1. It is still to be proven the vaccine stops people from...

Same as those with a deadly allergy to many other common things(like bee stings) or live with an already compromised immune system. They likely did not choose their challenge but they already have to manage their life as best they can. The world cannot be made perfectly safe for all.

Once the vaccine is available to all in the general population, then it would seem the onus would pass to individual members of that population to choose their risk tolerance. Just like they do for things like severe allergic reactions(shellfish and nuts for example), annual flu shots, alcohol...

If the vaccine makes CV-19 a "non-event" if one is infected, and all that desire the vaccine have access to the vaccine, it would seem "NPIs" will have outlived their (arguable) usefulness at that time.

That's the gist of it. In my understanding, it is "known" Vaccinations should minimize the impact of being infected but if it doesn't actually stop one from being infected/becoming contagious(which is unknown at this time) the total number of infected persons required for herd immunity wouldn't...

If a vaccinated person sill can contract CV-19 and spread it at the same rate a non-vaccinated person can contract and spread it, then "Vaccinated" does not change that persons impact on herd immunity. Still will need around 60 to 70%(depends on the actual Ro of the virus; the WHO and CDC...

If the vaccine does not prevent someone from contracting/spreading Cv-19 than vaccinated "persons" do not automatically move into the "immune" group required for herd immunity. Dispensed amongst those with the highest risk, vaccines would reduce the number of deaths and associated complications...

People are free to post their views. You certainly have the right to object to them. The best information/value is when both are followed up with traceable facts and supporting info. A civil discourse based on the above provides insight. Responding with "They can't say that!" doesn't further...

Actually, at least here in the US, they can. Just as others are free to disagree and provide their reasoning.

one data point here: https://uahs.arizona.edu/news/uarizona-health-sciences-study-shows-sars-cov-2-antibodies-provide-lasting-immunity “The latest time-points we tracked in infected individuals were past seven months, so that is the longest period of time we can confirm immunity lasts,” Dr...

Same thought applies to those in the "non-placebo" group. The results are the impact of the vaccine on a population that volunteered for the study, not a truly random cross section.
