![]() 14 seconds I had to hang on for my life! The landing was a rough one, but I lived to tell the story."Ĭhris says he plans on trying hang gliding again, since he didn't get to enjoy his first flight. "While the pilot made a critical error in our pre-flight setup by not attaching me to the Glider, he did all he could to get me down to the ground as quickly as possible, while grabbing on to my harness and flying with one hand." It was Chris Gurskys first time hang gliding. Just a second after takeoff from a 4,000-foot mountain top, Chris Gursky realized he was not attached and spent more than two minutes clinging to the bar as he sailed over trees. He also tore his left bicep tendon because of how long he held onto the hang gliding bar.Īs Chris wrote in the video, it beats the alternative. For 2 minutes and 14 seconds, Chris Gursky held on to a hang glider over Switzerland after realizing he wasn’t attached to the craft. Gursky survived the landing, but did end up fracturing his right wrist, which required surgery to install a titanium plate and seven screws. Eventually, the pilot brings the hang glider low enough for Gursky to safely let go and fall to the ground. Making things even more difficult, is the pilot is trying to hold on to the passenger with one hand, while attempting to steer the hang glider with the other. The reason I post here is that I have experience only with paragliding and parachutes, but never with a hang glider. The next few minutes are spent by the two men trying to get to terra firma as quickly as possible. algologic wrote: Sun 6:46 amHello everyone, I came up with an idea to motorize a hang glider without tri, keeping the position and enjoyment of the pilot the same. In the video, Gursky and the pilot run to take off, and soar into the sky, but a 'fun' ride quickly turns desperate as the pair realizes the harness hadn't been tethered to the craft. "My first time hang gliding had an unexpected twist when I left the ground unattached from the glider," Gursky wrote. Instead, he found himself clinging for dear life to the aircraft for the longest 2 minutes 14 seconds of his life.Īccording to Gursky, the pilot was supposed to strap him into the hang glider, but shortly after take-off, the pair realized his harness hadn't been attached to anything at all. ![]() An American tourist who wanted to try hang gliding for the first time while on vacation in Switzerland posted some harrowing footage of his "near death experience" to YouTube after his pilot forgot to attach his harness to the aircraft.Ĭhris Gursky posted footage to his YouTube channel of his first-time hang gliding experience in Switzerland that was supposed to see him gliding gracefully through the clear blue Swiss skies.

![]() In terms of connectivity, the table excels with its expanded options. As a vinyl lover, I truly appreciate the flexibility this Victrola model provides. The vintage suitcase design, coupled with an easy carry handle will allow you to enjoy your favorite tunes wherever you want. One of the standout features of the VSC-550BT is its portability. It seamlessly fits into any space, be it a living room, bedroom, or office. ![]() I am pleased with its sound quality, which is further enhanced by sound-isolating feet that minimize vibration, ensuring a rich and clear listening experience. This model provides three-speed options (33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm), catering to various vinyl records in my collection. I was instantly drawn to its unique aesthetic, plus, it offers an ideal blend of retro charm and contemporary functionality. Victrola VSC-550BT is a compact record player that brings a modern touch to the vintage suitcase-style design. While this model may lack the smoothness and vibrancy found in premium options, it still captures the enchanting essence of analog sound.Ĭheck price on Amazon Victrola VSC-550BT – also a great choice ![]() As a result, the sound from the players is quite clear, detailed, and deep. During playback, the sound is emitted by two electrodynamics, both are three inches in diameter, and each has a built-in amplifier with 2 watts of power. Now let’s talk about the main thing – the sound. The needle features ceramic construction and a sapphire tip. The Cruiser Deluxe also connects to sound sources with a cable and channels audio to external speaker systems.Įquipped with a Crosley NP6 replaceable cartridge, the tonearm allows for easy swapping via the company’s website if needed. A notable feature of this model is its wireless music playback via Bluetooth, utilizing version 4 of the module for a working distance of at least 10 meters. Furthermore, a universal USB port accommodates USB drives and other peripherals. It supports 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM playback speeds to accommodate a variety of vinyl records. This portable record player with built-in speakers offers essential functions for an enjoyable listening experience. The inner part is classical matte plastic that can be polished through time. The design is completed with nickel-plated speakers, which are compact but powerful. The form factor here is typical for the fifties but really rare today: it is a white suitcase with a specific texture – here is the imitation of a noble skin. So let’s move on to the appearance of the Cruiser Deluxe. Their models have always been known for their original and stylish design, as well as their fairly high quality. ![]() This American company is one of the world’s most popular manufacturers of affordable vinyl turntables. I’ll start with my favorite, the Cruiser Deluxe from Crosley. Victrola VSC-550BT – also a great choice. ![]() ![]() The transmission control unit is collecting information from the engine, vehicle speed sensors, and other sensors. What Is A Shift Solenoid?Ī transmission shift solenoid is an electromagnet component of an automatic or semi-automatic transmission that controls the flow of fluid to change gears and other functions in the transmission. You can read more about it here: Limp mode. Limp mode causes the transmission to not shift over gear 3, and if there is a bad shift solenoid, it may cause your car to activate limp mode. Limp mode is a protective mode for your engine, and you will notice it mostly because your engine will get an RPM limit of 2500-3000 RPM, and it may also affect your transmission shifting. This can cause hard shifting or shiftings at too low or too high RPM, for example. You may also have intermittent problems with the transmission shift solenoid, which will cause shifting problems. If this is the case, you can try to give the shift solenoid external power to release the gear if you know how to do it. If the shift solenoid got damaged while the gear was engaged, it might cause the transmission to be stuck in that gear. Instead, it will jump directly to the next gear. You have one or more shift solenoid for each gear, and if one is broken, it will not shift to that gear. ![]() This is a big sign that you have transmission shift solenoid problems. ![]() You may also notice that your car has a problem engaging some gears, and therefore it will skip to the next gear. This applies to both upshifting and downshifting. If the transmission control unit recognizes any shift solenoid problems, it may cause the transmission to shift very slowly. Most cheaper ones can only read the codes from the engine control module. ![]() To read the trouble codes from the transmission control module, you need an OBD2 scanner to read generic and enhanced trouble codes. If this light is on, there may be a stored trouble code related to a bad shift solenoid. Some cars also have a separate warning light for the transmission. This code basically tells you that there is a problem with the transmission control, and more trouble codes will be found in the transmission control module. Usually, if you use an OBD2 canner to read the trouble codes, you may see a P0700 Trouble code. The check engine light will light up even when there is a problem with the transmission. The first sign you will notice of all bad shift solenoid symptoms is probably the check engine light. ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, that bigger 16.5cm mid/bass driver and deeper cabinet result in added weight, punch and authority. There are newfound levels of refinement and openness compared with the older S2 model, with a spacious-sounding presentation and ample headroom for that cleaner treble to soar. Unlike the peppy, fun character of the 607 S3, the 606 S3 offer a more mature presentation. The two-way configuration, the same well-made build quality and finishes and the same dimensions return, but the 606 S3 are yet another step up in sound quality. ![]() They're furnished with the same upgrades as the 607, from the new titanium tweeter to the revised speaker terminal layout around the back. The 606 S3 takes on from the previous generation's 606 S2 Anniversary Edition (also a 2022 Award winner) with improvements and updates throughout. The 606 S3 are the bigger standmounters in B&W's latest 600 S3 range of speakers, and they're bigger, bolder and pricier than the younger sibling, the 607 S3 speakers (above). Read the full Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 review There’s clarity and refinement in the mix here – to a really admirable level – but we’re struck by just how entertaining, zippy and musical this new pair sounds right from the start. We’re glad that, alongside a newfound level of clean detail, openness and precise sound, the new 607 S3 speakers have remembered to add in big doses of energy and dynamic prowess. Overall, they're just incredibly fun to listen to. Basslines are pulled taut and while they don’t go as bone-shatteringly deep as bigger speakers (or as big as the bigger 606 S3, below), they do land with impact. For their size and price level, each note lands with precision and they even hold dynamic interest at low volume. The overall presentation is more open-sounding than before, while the treble performance is so much sweeter and more refined. Partner them carefully to balance out a somewhat forward, excitable treble performance, and you'll be rewarded with a terrifically detailed, rhythmically cohesive, agile, and energetic sound. The footprint remains the same and they're ideal for smaller spaces. ![]() The two drivers overlap to improve integration, while B&W claims the use of titanium should result in more refined and detailed high frequencies. The 607 S3 has been updated throughout, with a brand new 25mm titanium decoupled double dome tweeter, a new elongated tube loading system, a revised motor assembly for the 13cm Continuum mid/bass driver, higher-quality components used in the crossover, and sturdier cabinet bracing. The smallest and most affordable stereo speaker that B&W makes (even if that 'budget' price has increased in the last couple of years), the new 607 S3 replaces the previous Award-winning 607 S2 Anniversary Edition speakers and delivers a significantly improved performance. Now in its eighth generation and going 20+ years strong, Bowers & Wilkins' 600 series of speakers has more often than not provided some superb speakers.Īnd that story continues with its latest entry-level 607 S3 speakers.

Whether your stereo speakers will be in your living room, home office or bedroom, it's crucial to see what fits your space – and what you can afford. Are you after a small, affordable pair that can go into the corner of your room? Are you after a large pair of speakers, or have an extensive budget for premium standmounters? Whatever the case, remember to also factor in speaker cables and the demands of the rest of your hi-fi system.Īs far as audio quality goes, it's definitely important to find a great-sounding pair of speakers, but how your speakers sound is naturally tied to what you're using to drive them. ![]() Budget and size are the biggest considerations. ![]() ![]() ![]() The answers we received were often quite surprising! In this interview, we asked Williams about details of Empire of Grass, how his work on The Navigator’s Children is going, and asked for details about The Lady of the Woods, The Shadow of Things to Come, Brothers of the Sky, and The Veils of Heaven. Tad’s publisher, DAW Books, has recently released Empire of Grass, volume two of “The Last King” series. Ayaminu is located a stone's throw from the Pure, but no one in the city knows about the massive war party of Norns or the "other" mortals who showed up despite days/weeks of forewarning.Legendary Fantasy and Science Fiction author Tad Williams talks about Empire of Grass and several additional Osten Ard novelsĮ at Treacherous Paths are proud to bring readers another exclusive interview with storyteller Tad Williams, bestselling author of the “Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn” and “The Last King of Osten Ard” series of books. Note also how the Ayaminu scene occurs out of chronological order by a significant amount of days/weeks: it happens near the end of the book, but should be occurring back Part 2: Autumn's Chill, mere hours after Naglimund falls. The attack on the Pure by "Queen's Hand" who are not showing their faces (note Tanahaya's lengthy interior thoughts about how SOMETHING is happening here and she needs to figure it out as author sign posting that we need to pay attention) and seem to come from nowhere with zero warning. The Norns from the hidden bases that no one, even the Prince-Templar high up next to Utuk'ku, knows of.the hidden bases set up like Ayaminu's hidden base and a stone's throw from it. My own thoughts: it's the documents from the Queen's own archive that someone tried to destroy. Raising the dead outside the mountain was probably part of a scheme to either smuggle her in or smuggle something out. So, what if a Sithi like Ayaminu showed up, spoke to Hugh of their people's old bond, and asked him to help them by taking out her enemies and letting the Norns pass through his lands in exchange for getting Erkynland?Īt a guess, Ayaminu is allied with Akhenabi and has been since HOWWL. When Aelin interrogates the men who imprisoned them, he says exactly what we know is going on but the man replies by saying he doesn't know what's going on and implying they didn't turn on anyone but Erkynland. But what if they're not working for the Norns? ![]() Speaking of the humans, we know Hugh and the Hern have seemingly turned on everyone for the Norns. ![]() They're basically false flag attacks, meant to rally this new group, the Pure (who basically behave and are described like Fascist Sithi.they literally think they're of a different race than the other Sithi, wear pins, and horde knowledge.) Specifically, we're told they started AT The Pure's city of Chikaza and spread outward. The attacks by the humans on Sithi are another matter. How did someone (human OR Norn) reach and kill Tanahaya's master? How did the human attackers know all about these old Sithi hunting paths in the Sithi forest, let alone their tactics? Why are some Sithi being left alive but with their mirrors taken, like Tanahaya? If you consider her a villain and that the goal she has is what she says in HOWWL - to see the Sithi and Norn reunited, just like they always were before Utuk'ku - then a whole lot of smaller questions start to make sense. My own thoughts are that she's likely a villain - not a full on cackling power for power's sake villain, but a more morally gray one. I made this thread to get people thinking: what role will she play, and does she have more than good intentions? She's not mentioned at all in Witchwood Crown or previously in this book, as far as I know, so it's a small appearance. So, after appearing significantly in Heart of What Was Lost as a sort of guide and mentor with a mysterious goal of her own, the Sithi named Ayaminu reappears near the end of Empire of Grass. Don't read this if you haven't read Heart of What Was Lost, Witchwood Crown, and Empire of Grass. ![]() ![]() It’s easy to create a stylish hexagon tile bathroom aesthetic, like these Sea Glass Hexagon Blue Mosaic Tiles that provide a sea glass-inspired backsplash to complement the copper vessel sinks and modern marble vanity of this contemporary coastal bathroom look! ![]() The design world has come to love it as well!
