All right back to videos and asking Questions in here

Nope, we are not lol. Moved the video to the RF section, and deleted the question since it already has it's own thread. NO QUESTIONS ARE TO BE POSTED IN THIS SECTION! I think I have huge caps stating just that before you enter this section...

And you are right, that is some quick shipping right there. Maybe shipping is where all of that money is going... lmao. Can't wait to see them!

Well tonight is my last night in Ohio. I head out at 0700 for texass. Our first stop is Columbus for my e-check waiver since my car is out of state right now, one good thing about the army.

These last 10 days have been busy but fun, almost real fun. This trip set my hobby back buy a another month or longer but hey I saw my family. We got our first real rain since being here and it was beautiful flying weather.

Any on a mission now to get food for the wife so we can finish packing.

 

[Tony]

Can't win for losing today. Got woken up by a wrong number from S. Dakota, damn near crashed the 600 and screwed up my brand new tail blades, broke my montipora in my aquarium into 6 pieces, made smoke come out of my battery charger (still have not figured this one out), and my internet went down at the house. Makes you want to break something just to have something go wrong that you MEANT to go wrong. Is this day over yet...

 

[BladeScraper]

Blow up a Li-Po. Youll feel better instantly.

 

[Tony]

Not really, then the whole money thing comes into play when I have to replace it...

 

[BladeScraper]

An old Li-Po that you never use, like a low C battery, 2-4s, 500-1500mAh

 

[Tony]

that's just it, I use all of mine for something lol.

 

[callsign4223]

Pop one of those 2c 800 mah jobbers that you got like 10 of from that guy.

 

[BladeScraper]

I guess you could just watch videos of other people doing it

[BladeScraper]

LOL I do it all the time

Here is flying described in 24 words.
I'm in this big piece of metal 5 miles above the ground going at 600mph and expecting to land half way around the globe.

 

[wolfman76]

[Tony]

There has to be a better way to make money... Legally...

I was on vacation. Now I have bigger problems and only $90 to my name till Monday.

We got to arkadelphia Arkansas and we discovered that we had burned our oil up.

We have a loud tick in the motor. I have poured another 3.5 quarts in the motor and still have a loud tick.

The wife wants to chance driving 648 miles back to ft. Hood. I have to be back by 2359 tomorrow unless my vacation gets extended.

If anyone has any idea about this, like tony, input will greatly help. I am going to call a Ford dealership in the morning. I have an 06 Mazda 5.

 

[rchelipilot]

Sorry to hear man. Just drive slow and don't get the engine hot. If it's a "tick" probably just a lifter. Then all you need is a rebuilt head. Hope it's not smoking out the tail pipe. Again, sorry. If I was close I would help.

 

[murankar]

Not sure about the smoke. Didn't see any after I got to the hotel. The tick speeds up with the speed of the car.

Thanks for the offer.

 

[Tony]

Like Tony? Dude, I have become WAY too predictable lmao.

There are different sounds that come from an engine, adn there is no easy way to teach someone what they are over the internet in text. But with that said, here we go. If the noise is coming from the top of hte engine and sounds like a "clack", then it's most likely a lifter as stated above. However, unlike what was stated, you will NOT need a head rebuild, just replace the lifter.

If the sounds are more like a "clunk" or like hitting the side of the block with a small hammer, then you have spun a bearing on the rods and you need a complete rebuild.

Start the engine up and let the oil circulate around, then pull the dipstick. If you see metal shavings, then your engine is probably toast. If it looks like a chocolate milk shake, then your head or head gasket is toast.

Me personally, I would NOT trust a knocking engine a thousand miles. And with what is out in Texas, which is NOHTING! I definitely would not trust it. If you break down tomorrow, it's going to be close to 100º and that could end very badly for you guys. Worst case, buy a new car where you are. Explain your situation and I'm sure they will help you out, then just leave that sucker in their parking lot lol.

Good luck bro!
