From a few pages back. Never flown the Hind but that looks a lot like a flight control hydraulic boost system failure to me.

After I figure it out, I'll have forgotten what cats are. I only have so many spaces in my head. I learned some new legal stuff yesterday and I forgot how math works. To be fair, I was never good at math anyway.

Cojawfee posted:Start up a fire starting department. Reminds me of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, where the Ankh-Morpork fire department was paid for each fire they put out, which briefly seemed like a good idea. Or the actual historical Roman fire department, which was privately owned and operated by one man. When his fire fighters arrived at the scene of the fire, they'd proceed to haggle with the burning building's owner to get as much money as possible, and if no agreement was reached, they let the building burn to the ground and then offered to buy up the plot for pennies on the dollar (or semisses on the denarius?).

Marcus Licinius Crassus! He'd offer to buy the property at a hugely reduced price, and only after he owned it would his slaves put out the fire, allowing him to aquire (damaged) property at hugely reduced prices. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_firefighting

mostlygray posted:Now I have to learn new stuff about this Low Z thing. “Z” is the resistance of the meter itself. Normally, you want it to be very high so the act of measuring the circuit disturbs it as little as possible. This is important when working on sensitive digital circuits. You don’t want the meter to, say, pull the voltage of a signal down enough for the device to stop working. A low‐Z meter, or setting on a meter, lets a small but significant current flow through the meter itself. Analogue meters have low‐Z by default because it takes power to physically move the needle. Not much power in absolute terms, but a lot more than in a digital meter. An analogue meter might let one milliamp flow, while a digital meter would let two thousandths the amount through. This is useful in situations like yours. That 21.4 V you measure probably has nothing substantial backing it up. If it has even a weak path to ground through the meter, the voltage will collapse almost to nil. There was a video in the thread last month of a similar situation. They used a step‐up transformer to get over two hundred volts, but it couldn’t charge a phone.

I doubt they would have been able to touch down smoothly at the end if they had a hydraulic failure.

Humphreys posted:It also happened in early New York if I believe certain movies. Also book if a certain book, if a certain book that a certain movie is to be believed! it has accounts of firefighter gangs fighting each other outside burning buildings, and at other points them just standing and watching buildings burn until someone would come forward and pay them to put the fires out. Capitalism is a terrible last resort in emergency situations!

Early American firefighting was two gangs fighting over the right to loot the burning building. After the fight was over and any valuable furniture was loaded on the truck, they might start pumping water now if they feel like it.

A shittily executed approach into the lee side of a big building when it's howling and then landing with your tail rotor into the wind would look a lot like that too.

dr_rat posted:Also book if a certain book, if a certain book that a certain movie is to be believed! That was basically how Crassus's fire department worked. quote:The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Crassus. He took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the fire fighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire, if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground. After buying many properties this way, he rebuilt them, and often leased the properties to their original owners or new tenants.

Pretty sure there are rural areas with actual private for profit fire departments instead of govt provided, and if you don't subscribe to their service they will not help you.
