Wyoming B.S. Thread

Stalker level: Pro! I've found my girlfriends exact location off the coast of NZL. Can't hide from me

 

Hmm is that with HAM APRS that they do that?



@Digiratus i see Bud Built does Aluminum now. Only 63lbs for all three in 1/4''. I know for you thats not gonna work haha but..for igor could be okay.



...only costs a grand

 

There would have to be quite a few people to get in on a group buy for me to do that right now. 1st gen parts sit on the shelf for months or even years so designing new parts for them is not really a great business move.

 

well..shit.

Really was hoping for a set by you for Frankenstein for sure.

But i can understand what you mean. Not sure I could rally enough people to get 20+ orders on skids.

Thanks for response though. Maybe i'll have to get a 2nd gen....NOT!

 

Naw, I'll stick with steel thanks.

I would buy a set from you. The ones you did for the 2nd gen guys looked pretty good.

 

2 down..

haha

 

I know. Thats what i said. But for a what I do in Igor..wouldn't be back. Its almost 1/2 the weight. would only be a net gain of 44lbsish.

 

It's a start.

 

Only 20-40 more to go haha

 

I am curious, how many would you need?

 

To design a full set of skids at least 30.

 

ooof.

Tall order there.

 

Yeah, that's quite a few. Probably not realistic in the short term.

 

I don't really know. Upon looking again, the ships use AIS, which is a digital VHF system.

Also read that after the navy collissions, navy vessels are supposed to broadcast their locatations publicislly on AIS, so you can track a bunch of navy vessels from home haha

 

Yeah not worth it for us to do any less than that.

 

Yeah sounds similar to air planes too. They have their own setup as well. You can't public track them...UNLESS you allow them to use your digipeater haha then you can see them. My dad has the little box for it.

Understandable. I guess we will see how motivated we are to attempt to find that many folks with 800 bucks ready for skids. haha

 

What do you mean you can't track them with a digipeater? All the public ais ships info is broadcast to that website, so you just type in the military boat and find it online

 

Now that's freaking cool!

 

Do it.

Put those same skills you used to get yourself a set of 'yellow' Ray10s to work.

 

At 800 bucks for a set of skids might as well buy a welder, learn to weld then make your own haha
