Deciphering Peter’s conversation with Wanda

1. Wanda tried to test Peter by asking him about the name of the boy that has a skin problem who always steal his shoes to which Peter counter “You’re testing me.” And has successfully divert the conversation by telling her “I know I look different.” Wanda do feel his brother is not the same brother she remembers. That even us viewers wonder why Peter and not Pietro is present? Though I do have a theory about that and talk about below.

2. “I'm just trying to do my part, okay? Come to town unexpectedly, create tension with the brother-in-law, stir up trouble with the rugrats, and ultimately give you grief. I mean, that's what you wanted, isn't it?” For these sentences, it kind of look like someone is speaking for him (like he’s possessed). Peter gave off the ‘mischievous elder brother’ or possibly has a sister complex as seen X-Men Days of Future Past. If this is really him, giving Wanda a grief will definitely be the last thing he’ll do, pranking her? Maybe, like what he did when Vision left the house and sneak up on her back on Episode 6.

3. Peter said “Details are fuzzy, man. I got shot like a chump on the street for no reason at all and the next thing I know, I heard you calling me. I knew you needed me.” And Wanda has a confused look on her face. Also, If we go on FANDOM, Wanda’s profile has been updated and one of the updates the user add was “He told her that he heard her calling him after he was shot by Ultron, and that he knew she needed him.” First of all, whoever made an update, none of Peter’s words mentioned Ultron, and didn’t imply Ultron as well, second Pietro was not shot for no reason at all, Ultron was firing bullets from Quinjet and Pietro have to save Hawkeye and the kid he’s holding, Peter on the other hand phrase it as “no reason at all”, so I don’t believe it’s anything related to Ultron.

Let’s translate what Peter just said, “I got shot like a chump on the street” – if we are to simplify this sentence, he could meant he’s running (as usual) on the street and got knocked down because he’s an easy target (after all, chump means a foolish or easily deceived person), or someone stopped him from running then he was hit by something, then when he’s trying to understand what happened, he can hear in his head his sister calling him, in probably mournful voice because he claimed “I knew you needed me.” Because before he appeared, when Wanda mentions Pietro (in past tense), she was still smiling, almost indicating she was able to move on from his passing, then when was asked by Tommy if Wanda have a brother, she now spoke of him in present tense “He’s far away from here, and that makes me sad sometimes.” – this could probably be what he meant when he say “I heard you calling me. I knew you needed me.” Because Wanda is now reminiscing the Pietro, and could possibly be now in denial with him and she wants to see him. We don’t know what’s going on in X-Men Universe and hell Earth-616 is one confusing world. Retelling it here in MCU that X-Men could probably be from different multiverse will make it less confusing as well.

Also Wanda was not officially introduced in X-Men Universe, but on the delete scene of Days of Future Past, Ms Maximoff (their mom) said to her youngest “Go upstairs and bug your sister”, implying (and confirmed by the director) that the “sister” is Wanda and she does exists in X-Men world, Peter being the eldest of the siblings, have a big brotherly love for his younger siblings so he easily got brainwashed and was summoned to Earth 616, we can only theorize that Mephisto discovered him as he was travelling thru the multiverse (as per his comics abilities), discovered Wanda and Pietro. Who knows if Wanda of X-Men Universe is alive or dead, but we can try and think, why this Wanda? If Mephisto has the ability to travel to the multiverse, he can chose Wanda of other multiverse too. Is it because of her involvement with the Infinity Stone? So this Wanda is so special because she is able to mother twins without a man’s help? We just have to wait for 2 more episodes for answers.

Also on top of Wanda not being introduce X-Men Universe, FOX changed Pietro’s name to Peter because MCU is also introducing another Pietro, but in MCU, they killed Pietro, this is probably due to copyrights restrictions (between Disney and FOX) because both Pietro and Wanda can appear on both franchise with some restrictions, which makes sense why there’s only Wanda in MCU and only Peter in X-Men World to avoid referencing the restrictions due to legal rights. Now that the Multiverse is being introduced, they can now cross Peter from X-Men World to MCU as a mutant (vice versa) and can also be referred to as Magneto’s children since the restrictions have been lifted. Although another possibility that the MCU killed Pietro is because MCU and FOX already planned ahead for a possible future Multiverse since way back, once the First Generation of Avengers retires (Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, etc.), that is possibly the time they can introduce the mutants. Because if the First Generation is still present when the Mutants arrive, it could destroy the balance of the super heroes line up and the MCU might become a trash of super hero franchise, which of course they won’t want that to happen. By killing Pietro on the other hand, can actually be both a risk and advantage. MCU’s researchers have definitely done their job well and study other products that involved alternate dimension/reality/timeline. In my point of view (as an otaku), when I watched these type of anime with alternate dimensions/reality/timeline, it does feel weird especially if the character meets her/her counterpart, like in Dual!! Parallel Trouble Adventure where both Mitsuki have actually met (I only remember parts of the story, so I won’t go deeper into this), the awkwardness is kind of hard to watch… So killing Pietro might’ve been the best decision, because keeping both characters and later meets up will not only cause awkwardness but the viewers might also find it weird. With no offense to ATJ but unlike his, Evan Peters’ QS have more cool scenes, his running in the kitchen is definitely a big wow, Age of Ultron didn’t showcase much any cool moves, we do see the slow motions around him and his afterimage, but the kitchen scene looks way more cooler, and personally for me, I find his break in Magneto scene (the glass shattering and escaping the guards) much more satisfying than anything...

Evan Peters could’ve also been given instructions by FOX of him possibly appearing/joining the MCU in the future because in an interview with the X-Men Apocalypse cast on MTV After Hours, Peter (Evan Peters) comment to Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) “Just because you wear shades, doesn’t make you cool.” In which Cyclops responded with “Just because your name is Quicksilver, doesn’t make you an Avenger.” And Peter responded back with “You know, legally I’m not able to respond to that.” Also during Dark Phoenix interviews, Evan Peters was nervous yet silently freaking out, almost like Tom Holland trying to avoid telling anything. In the interview with New Trailer Buzz, Evan Peters was ask to say the first thing that come to his mind like Wolverine = claws, Marvel = X-Men, Magneto = metal, Charles Xavier = wheelchair, then when as SCARLET WITCH – he pause and almost choke and said nervously “okay” and started to laugh, then was asked about cross-over and he responded with sweet, although compared to his previous answers where it only took less than 1sec to respond, the word SCARLET WITCH and CROSS-OVER definitely gave him a scare as he was probably be in talks but is of course not allowed to disclose.

If we think about it back then, we can probably just dismissed it as part of the restrictions between Disney and FOX, but Kevin Feige did mention before that everything is plan even up to 5 years, and X-Men to be in talks for the future multiverse is not impossible and of course they will not disclose that information (to actors let alone media), and what are the odds of killing Pietro in MCU and not introducing Wanda in X-Men.

I will wait for Episode 8 for the next WandaVision update ‘cause it really hard to assume.

#Devember 2019 - Days 27..30

I spent a lot of time trying to gather infos about linux and realtime. I’ve managed pretty easily to compile and use a Preempt-RT patched kernel. I’ve also collected all the commands in a convenient script. The real struggle was to find infos on what to do in my code. Doing a busy sleep was getting me worse performance than with vanilla kernel. I’ve started to watch talks on Preempt-RT and I’ve found out that you can tell the scheduler to tread your program in a different way. You choose which scheduler to be put into. Usually you’d want to be in the FIFO scheduler with the max priority. Pigpio does that. With Preempt-RT and I also think in vanilla kernel >= 3.14 you can choose `SCHED_DEADLINE`. To do that you need to write some functions, structs and to define some constants, even `SCHED_DEADLINE` itself, because it is not exposed in userland. For this scheduler you specify the period of your needed work and the time of each work cycle. The scheduler will wake up your process/thread and respecting your requested timings. The key here is that you have to communicate to the scheduler that your work is done. This info wasn’t super clear, so it took me some time to get it. You have to call `sched_yield()`. I’ve also tried with some sleep functions, with different clocks, but `sched_yield()` gave better results. One strange thing is that with this scheduler I got times with less variance, but the average timing was below the requested. Running without the yield gives me lower average but more variance, i.e. more higher spikes. Running for a minute I get 2/3 spikes of 1 second. Absurd. I don’t know how it would sound having spikes of 2x the cycle time, but I know for sure that you would hear a stall of 1sec.

Oh, obviously I had to disable every service I could. I’ve put up a script to do that, you can check it in the repo. I’ve also modified pigpio disabling the script threads and the sockets. I’ve only left there the alert thread. I’ve made it so that I can compile it in C++, directly including the c file in the main program.

The big obstacle with the Zero is that it has one core. Having multiple core you can pin a process or thread to a core so that all the other computing can happen in parallel. I’d like to stick to a Zero so that the BOM is kept low and also the power consumption. I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 2, that has 4 cores. I could re-compile the kernel for its architecture (arm7) and try my code there, but before that I prefer to complete the looping functionality.

I’ve done tests using FIFO scheduling, and it seems that is slightly better. Strange. It makes spikes of 2ms, in addition to the ones of 1s, that are more regular.

I’ve implemented a basic loop pedal, with three buttons, (play, rec, stop) a single track. I still have to test it. The circuit is on the breadboards. I’ve added the mcp601 to multiply the signal in and added a voltage divider to dump down the output. I’m measuring a ton of 50Hz noise, even with all the caps around. Tomorrow I’ll connect a speaker. Fingers crossed.

❤ ◞ HI EVERYONE ! ❤ ◞

i dropped a notice on twitter days ago but i’m happy to finally bring in a new character! this is my lil’ jiwon and she’s absolutely harmless if a little more than the usual pessimistic but that doesn’t mean she’s a soil sport (even though she can be), she’s tries her absolute and i mean really hard to not be ( but if you start throwing the word love in her direction, she’s going to spout some very debbie downer preachin’ realism on your ass )

i’d love to get some plots going as well as random starters! so please reply with your favorite or now playing song and i’ll whip some up for you. or if you like this post, i’ll come to you! ( after i answer messages of course which as everyone knows takes me 32492341 years )

also, below the cut are some facts about lil’ miss rain and no shine as well as tiny plots that can be nitpicked from those tidbits ❤

❤ ◞ ALL ABOUT PARK JIWON ! ❤ ◞

❤ ◞ park jiwon ⇢ nineteen ‘99 ⇢ pisces

❤ ◞ she’s a child born out of wedlock, her dad knocked her mom up and didn’t take responsibility. her mom remarried and she has a half brother ⇢ if anyone has a deadbeat dad who could have cheated on their mom with jiwon’s mom, please !!!!! COME AT ME !!! THIS WOULD BE AMAZING !!!! give jiwon some half siblings like fuck Ruin her Life ⇢ childhood friends who know her as the girl always saying “i’ll tell my dad on you!!!” ⇢ got picked on at the beginning of her life because she only had her mom and it was obvious her Dad wasn’t in the picture (lasted until she was seven because her mom remarried and her New Dad was actually super sweet and doting but jiwon didn’t care because it wasn’t her Real dad) ⇢ she had a rocky childhood because of her own making, her family did everything they could to fill the hole in her heart but jiwon is stubborn and she wants what she can’t have

❤ ◞ she has major daddy issues, so let’s not talk about that -- even jiwon doesn’t talk about it ⇢ she’s probably told like two people, ( preferably best friends )

❤ ◞ she works full time ( probably more than she should ) at this thrift shop in hongdae ⇢ she’s pass along her discount bc that’s what friends are for ⇢ there’s also a dog named mayo that sleeps in a basket at the counter. he’s not sick, he’s just lazy. ⇢ she’s practically a Golden employee aside from her spontaneous kpop karaoke sessions that go on via the intercom, some customers have complained but others fill her tip jar ⇢ she can’t really sing, she’s more like saying everything in a higher pitch than her regular speaking voice but girl can spit a rhyme -- watch her mimic the smtm rappers, she can do it ⇢ “they love me!” ⇢ “no -- they’re paying you to stop for the love of god.”

❤ ◞ she’s actually really into fashion but she’s literally a cross between dressing so eccentrically or horrendously, that’s what happens when you work at a thrift shop and on top of it get a 30% discount ⇢ she could have been a fashion ig personality but her ig is p much full of indie-esque film caps ⇢ “how does this one sound -- ‘they’ll never catch me ... i’m fucking innocent.’” ⇢ “how you think owen wilson looked hot in that movie, i’ll never understand.” ⇢ “it’s the nose.” ⇢ “jiwon -- it’s never the nose.”

❤ ◞ she’s also a 365 daily vlogger; she’s not famous but you’ve probably seen her around talking to the camera as if anyone actually cared ⇢ youtube channel: @jiwonahhh ⇢ catch her at your work place, at her work place, yabbering on! ⇢ maybe she was spending a little too long loitering and you had to kick her out ⇢ if you’re a friend, you’ve definitely been shown on her channel whether through an actual thorough video or a 1sec frame ⇢ “jiwon, please put the camera down.” ⇢ “but the light is so nice right now!” ⇢ “what the fuck -- you don’t know jack shit about lighting, stop.”

❤ ◞ she actually has a dull outlook on life, didn’t really have a lot of aspirations; when asked what she wanted to do after high school she literally said, “stay alive.” (so maybe she’s like 2% optimistic and 98% full of survival instinct) ⇢ high school friends, wanted! (i don’t have a high school that she could have attended planned so we can plot for that) ⇢ she’s actually really Sad but she’s also really good at hiding it and can honestly make you think wtf is this girl have an unlimited supply of endorphins ⇢ correction: she has 20% of endorphins, the other 80% is Sad and Pain and Why Am I Not Good Enough

❤ ◞ when you first meet her she seems like a ray of sunshine, always talking, suggesting things to do ( most so she can film and put it on her channel and seem like she’s doing something with her life ) ⇢ catch her off guard and watch her fall into misery.

❤ ◞ she’s a debbie downer when you get close to her and can get real emo when you start talking about issues ⇢ ie. family, love, future, dreams ( pretty much anything off the surface and deep ) ⇢ default answer, “bro, it’s not that deep.”

❤ ◞ she actually wanted to go to college but she has like zero dinero so that was out of the question ⇢ if she actually got to go she would have wanted to be in one of the art majors like film, art history, or something like music theory ⇢ but she likes hanging out at campuses bc Aesthetic and because it makes her feel like Someone, did i mention she’s a Fake

❤ ◞ in high school she was part of the dance club ⇢ she does dance covers in her spare time now and posts it on her not Popular youtube channel ⇢ high school fact: she was nicknamed ‘dimples’ because *surprise* she has very deep dimples

❤ ◞ she’s at the movies literally every weekend, whether it’s for some indie film, mainstream superhero movie or dramatic korean romcom ⇢ “you, again? don’t you have a life?” ⇢ “why do i need a life, the one’s in the movies are so much more interesting.”

❤ ◞ she can be found at the conveince store near her apartment late at night eating midnight snacks (her favorite these days due to the god-awful heat: ice pops) ⇢ have yet to decide on a district to put the girl in so please anyone who needs a roommate! ⇢ or if you’re in need of a neighbor, jiwon isn’t a bad one! ⇢ neighbor and roommate plots galore !!!

❤ ◞ in her spare time ( if she’s not vlogging, going to the movies, or sulking at convenience stores ), she’s volunteering at the animal shelters ⇢ is that friend who preaches ‘adopt, don’t shop!’ ⇢ is also that friend that stops at the front of a pet shop and makes happy faces at the pets

❤ ◞ she tried to go Vegan but the bulgogi too Bomb ⇢ she also saw these leather boots at the thrift shop and going Vegan was Out of the Question ⇢ “it’s hard to be fashionable and animal friendly, i want to be both!” ⇢ “you’re hardly fashionable to begin with --” ⇢ “(insert gasp) i’ll pretend me and my vintage gucci didn’t hear that.”

#❥ ┊ tying red strings .#this was long and i really don't expect you to read all of it but you all get a mod-approved pink star from me if you do #i'm still trying to follow everyone zzzz we are a Lot of people and we could build an Army

Risk Reward

This game has a risk reward factor with its assignment of villagers. You can assign villagers to tasks like woodworking, merchants and military. To gain production in that area but then you are losing food. As villagers gain food by themselves when unemployed. You need food to survive and not let your people die. So do you sacrifice your food production for other materials to build and grow or gain more food and slowly build up materials.

In this game you have drs and ers which are boosts that you can use to overtake your opponent. Drs only can be activated when you are 1sec behind the car in front and with ers you only have a certain amount until you run out and go slower. So with ers do you use it to boost to overtake or protect a position or do you save it for later on. Also with drs you might use a bit of ers to boost to get past another car but then later on the other car will have it and come back past. So there is a lot of risk reward in F1 and to make good decisions that will help you.

This game has levels in it which can determine your stats and places you can go. There are recommendations on areas/enemies you can kill. But it does not stop you. So the risk reward factor is do you risk your time and gear to try and defeat a higher level boss which may not be guaranteed. Or do you stick to your lower level areas and get less xp and worse gear.

waccha and kouchan @ cosplay mania 2017

just as it says on the tin, originally a twitter thread!!! crossposted from my twitter!!! totally not in order!!! i was not taking notes!!!

(y' going down?) (also he shimmies down into an air chair pose cuz he is extra) →waccha was all like WTF BOI WHAT KINDA ENDING IS THAT EVEN????? →kou and waccha had fun with the fact that "bababa ba?" "bababa" can be a full convo ("are u going down?" "i am going down") →also waccha points out that here "baba" also means "chin" and just like JP the same syllables, same word can mean lots of stuff →i was luckily close enough to see so i am around 40% sure that their surprise bday cake for kouchan was yema cake and now i want yema cake →waccha: the thing is, both kou and i used to play bball, so you know the time before u shoot is like 1sec right??? but in anime the ball FLOATS MID AIR and they talk the ENTIRE TIME →as his translator repeats this he holds a shooting pose in mid air and goes yeppppp it goes like that →kouchan: backwards snapback, checkered shirt, pants, jacket →waccha: black sweater, white shirt, pants (this seems to be a fave outfit) →they both kept on giving heart signs and nama kisses to audience it was unreal →signs they read out from the audience: "notice me kouchan" "notice me waccha" "pls wink" "sing pls" →waccha: i never had acting XP cuz i didnt wanna go to theater club - they went out on school ground screaming weird stuff - →i am TRYING to recall the exact phrase but it was rlly silly, he screamed it, and he made his translator go and scream it out loud too →waccha: and THAT was embarrassing, i never wanted to do it, but here i did it anyway, →kou: u even made her (the translator) do it →kou: now she's REALLY TRAUMATIZED waccha tantou translator: that was rlly embarrassing →they had kou and waccha play filipino/pinoy henyo! they had to guess words by asking us questions and all we could say are yes, no, maybe →waccha's word was jollibee: "wait is this food - its filipino? smth we ate here??? uhhhh sinigang??" (kou: NOO) →kouchan's word was cake: "what is this? some sweet thing?? do i eat it??" (waccha: YOU ALWAYS EAT IT U'VE BEEN EATING IT SINCE U WERE BORN) kouchan: BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE waccha: BE LESS SPECIFIC →for waccha he finally realized it was jollibee cuz kou said it was a chain with many branches and waccha went DOES IT HAVE A MASCOT CHARA →asked about what was hard about being seiyuu, waccha went well, actually everything is hard, its like a wall of challenge upon challenge, but he'd wanted to be a seiyuu for so so sooooo long that not once did he ever think of giving up on his dream →for kou, he said that actually he and waccha were the same, and he knows he always looks like he's happy and grinning but in fact it's the fans' smiles that give him strength to carry on →this bears repeating SOMEONE GIVE WACCHA TANTOU TRANSLATOR A KNIGHTHOOD, VACATION LEAVE, A RAISE, A HUG,SHE'S SO TIRED WACCHA SAID TOO MUCH →waccha: we're always surprised that we have fans overseas! there's a lot of untranslateable stuff in JP works so we always wonder how overseas audiences would take them, so we're rlly happy rn! →in pinoy henyo we were screaming responses but accompanied it by literally going 🙆 for yes 🙅 for no and shrugging for maybe, and eventually the one of em who wasnt answering the question begun doing the same too LMAO it was cute →i think this wasnt translated onstage, but remember how one of the audience signs was "sing pls?" waccha went, uhh rlly?? just one would - be okay?? rlly?? well then what song should i sing?? birdsong?? OKAY ITS A PITY NO ONE PICKED UP ON THIS CUZ FOR ONE REASON one of waccha's official profile talents on 81pro website is "mimicking bird calls"! WHY DID NO ONE NOTICE WHY DIDNT U LET HIM DO THAT →kouchan voice めちゃめちゃmasarap is goddamned iconic i swear to god →waccha noticed @kujouheaven 's regality album and was happy they actually bought it!! he also said one of his ingame lines and talked about how playing him was, also kou talked about zool and said a ridic af line in his chara's voice (host: WTF U KNOW HE SAID HE FARTED RIGHT) →I REMEMBER NOW the line waccha did when he noticed the regality album was "trigger rlly is the best isn't it?" I CANT BELIEVE I HEARD THAT →they said that there's lots of auditions u take before u go to final audition for a role (waccha: just like the cosplay tournament here!) →they asked who in the audience wanted to try out being seiyuu and almost everyone raised their hands, and waccha goes and says, waccha: in the first event i ever went to, a pro seiyuu asked that question, and only one person raised their hand. and it was me. so i'm very very happy to see this kind of turnout. →general notes: kouchan was surprisingly quiet and kept looking to waccha, waccha was A GODDAMNED MOTORMOUTH, kept looking around and waving →when his translator was repeating one of his (rlly long) answers waccha kept miming walking with heavy steps it looked so funny i stg →WACCHA'S NAMA KISSES CAME WITH リップ音 HOW ARE WE ALL STILL ALIVE →kouchan: its important to have one big goal, like 'i wanna be a seiyuu', but its also important to better urself w/ small goals bit by bit →waccha, after another long speech: uhhh right ive gone for too long kou u can talk now kou: 👀 reaaaally. are you SURE

Funny how much you can hate a person and still a) find an handrwritten note from their dead mom in your wardrobe cause she was the only person ever to see you and actually enjoy talking to you and treating you like a person

B) find a metal thing you picked up in Bologna for their dog to play with when you were dogsitting her cause she is the only creature that you ever loved as your own child (and put in your cyberdreads in cause you ever forgot that she is gone for like 1sec)

I am so tired lmao this is what i mean when i say i can't get over this person..good news is i am finally admitting that i miss them both (mom+dog) cause i no longer am avoiding the pain of their absence in order to be the best friend possible to my back-then-grieving-friend (yes i read books on how to be a good friend to someone grieving but i don't think she ever will see that i tried). She's possibly the worst thing to ever have happened to me and yet i still link so much love with her. I miss fucking walking that damn dog ALONE by the lake in Mantova i fucking miss her biting my hand and i miss her mom telling me that i should never stop being sensitive. I miss them both so much and up until now i was too scared that i was not allowed to miss them cause my then-friend's pain was much worse than mine (that's what i told myself litetally every second about everything which i think led to her believing she was the center of it all and thus allowing herself to focus on her even when the pain was about me). I miss them so much&i have been crying for hours and my ears are ringing. I still wanna punch her and break her nose though.

Active Flying

Active flying in paragliding used to keep the wing inflated and stable above … I’m writing some scenarios for visualization practice (I update this periodically as I learn tips to handle deflations, etc).

[1] CANOPY GOES FORWARD (LEGS GO DOWN) pull brakes, get out of dive release speed bar if wing moving with speed down, be quick aggressive to break the surge! note: angle attack is decreasing, risk of collapse note: if you have to brake a fast deep surge hard, be prepared to release all brakes (hands up) immediately after the surge stops [2] CANOPY GOES BACK (LEGS GO UP) action: hands up! release brakes whenever wing is behind note: if mild conditions, speed bar can also lower pitch angle of attack has increased what's happening: canopy is back and close to stalling, wind noise may decrease, never apply brakes when canopy is behind, it needs air speed [3] BRAKE GOING SLACK action: - keep some light brake pressure - short 1sec hard stab on the brakes can prevent a collapse - after: brakes back up to avoid stall what's happening: pressure inside wing is going down, may collapse lean away from slack line, prepare to fly straight quick brake input to find tension probably low angle of attack due to turbulence [4] TURBULENT RATTY AIR (ACTIVE FLYING) - let off speed bar - 10% light brake to feel the wing, enough to keep constant pressurized but keep airspeed high - keep feeling for loss of wing pressure - look at horizon to react immediately - look at wing to know what happens right away - get away from the ground terrain - if close to ground, visualize parachute throw - real turbulent, and lose brake, may need to whack on lost brake - don't over react to a collapse, hands up, steer then clear - do not hold brakes near stall, keep up speed riser rising - lean weight toward rising riser, counter it, weight to high side [5] FRONT COLLAPSE, SYMMETRIC TUCK action: - hands up! - speedbar off - frontal is much more likely when using speed bar (lower pitch) - be prepared to brake surge when wing comes back forward, but only a quick pulse, then pack before collapse, the instant you feel the nose tucking, or wing going back: a short, sharp pump (1-2 sec) simultaneously on both brakes will aid the re-inflation by forcing the trapped air towards the leading edge and the cell openings. But, no brake if/when wing behind! Only if wing is above you, or returned above you. what's happening: the leading edge tucks underneath, resulting in an immediate loss of lift. The wing pitches back due to the increased drag. The pilot’s momentum continues forwards and downwards, which tensions the rear risers and increases the angle of attack again. The glider reinflates rapidly, then pitches overhead and dives in front, trying to regain vital airspeed. note: frontal is much more likely when using speed bar (lower pitch). Can happen when exiting a thermal, flying into rotor turbulence, or during a cliff launch. SIV to induce: - grab A risers above quick links (thumbs down, palms out) - fast hard deflation to chest level, and quick release (do not hold) To enter: Grab both (or four) A-risers above the quick link with thumbs down, pinky finger up and palms faced outward. Sit up in harness. Pull the risers down to chest level, release immediately - hands up immediately [6] ASYMETRIC DEFLATION action: - hands up, speed bar off, look at glider - GENTLE small brake to open side ... steer it straight. do not over-correct - keep flying, avoid obstacles; ok to turn in direction of deflation if needed to avoid something - pump out collapse side: A firm, 1-2 sec deep pull on the brake of the collapsed wing to re-inflate - look at horizon and counter steer - shift weight hard to open side caution: - too much opposite brake can create a spin - not enough enough lean/break, the glider may be turned into a spiral dive note: - most common problem is over-correction from his momentum, inducing turn. The loss of support from the collapsed wing causes the pilot weight to tilt, which worsens the turn towards the collapsed wing. SIV to induce: - keep brakes in hand, sharply pulling the A-line(s) on one side (outer line, or all A lines). release quickly. [7] CASCADE OR WTF hands up, minimal brake, speed bar off, hold for 5 seconds look at horizon, look at wing prepare to aggressively brake a surge [8] NEED TO PENETRATE FORWARD - hands up, speed bar on - monitor gps ground speed - crab out of venturi if in one - get and stay low, in front forward [9] APPROACHING CLOUDBASE, NEED TO GET DOWN [1] apply big ears and then speed bar, watch altimeter / compass [2] off speed bar, try big-big ears using 2 outer As [3] Spiral dive, watch altimeter [4] Spiral dive with outside deflation (less g's) [10] INSIDE CLOUD follow compass desired direction focus on instruments [11] HIGH WIND LANDING, CHANCE OF DRAG option1: landing hold rear risers high at strings, land crouched legs bent, spring up reverse and kill wing with rears, run toward wing option2 : kill wing with A and opposite break (wrapped first), run toward wing [12] DRAGGED pull one line (rear or B), pull pull pull until wing collapsed [13] LOW TO GROUND COLLAPSE OR SPIRAL throw immediately if wing is in bad shape have height to throw in mind - below 300' don't scratch near terrain in thermal conditions [14] KITING BACKWARDS AND LIFTED INTO THE AIR Hands up, fly the glider backwards on rears - no problem when landed, kill glider (you are holding rears) if still going up, use rears to twist forward [15] DON'T DO THIS fly in winds >10mph in mountains scratch near terrain in thermal conditions flying deep in brakes fly in weather outside safe envelope fly mid-day slot fly in rain aerobatics at low altitude launch in non-perfect conditions fly in the lee [16] RISER TWIST to exit: reach above risers, push apart, shake body, to untwist option: fly glider by reaching brake lines above To enter: push one riser, pull the other ... then grab the one riser to stop it untwisting, get glider in control by grabbing one brake line above pulley if happening: sit up, grab risers to try to prevent twisting [17] CRAVATE action: - keep straight direction! - large weight shift, but small brake to keep straight [1] pull orange stabilo line (outer B) down as much as possible large (hard and fast) [2] large 75% brake pump for ~1 second [3] asymmetric As tuck on cravate side [4] big ears [5] last resort ... (quick) full stall - can just go to back fly point. [18] SINK ALARM action: - hands up - apply speed bar - leave area, get out of it, take a new line [19] RAIN, GLIDER WET action: - hands up for speed (no brake), and bar forward 25% for speed - go land - avoid big moves note - stall speed increases, risk of deep stall. canopy weight increases, increases angle of attack, do not use big ears in rain [20] HIGH WIND TAKEOFF go to the lower front of the hill, down lower launch build a neat wall (inner-As/Rears), hold rears with string wing up gently, let the wind do it all run toward it as it rises up, brake with rears if it comes up wonky or too fast, kill it turn smartly to face front brakes full up once flying (to move forward) careful venturi behind hill - speed bar if needed [21] DOWNWIND LANDING try to gradual turn 90 degree+, but no big turns flair and legs up, running PLF roll harness slide only on pure grassy field [22] BIG EARS to enter: - unwrap brakes - grab OUTER A's at same height at mallions (thumbs down, pinky finger up, palms facing away). - pull down symmetrically, elbows locked - apply speed bar to increase sink - weight shift for direction control to release: one then other (allow canopy to recover on own), only pump a side if needed note: closer to stall, as angle of attack increases from drag, so NO brakes note: airspeed increases slightly due to increased wing loading (less surface) [23] BRAKE LINE GOES SLACK lean away from slack line, prepare to fly straight quick brake input to find tension probably low angle of attack due to turbulence [24] WING OVERS weight shift hard and brake during down swing (bodies acceleration, seat pressure, or "I have speed"), just before bottom. Brake turn direction, but some outside too. Don't brake on low energy way up and down. add some outside brake too. look - watch the outside wing tip and apply brake if it begins to deflate, monitor and maintain wing pressure to exit, use a mild spiral dive, if not be prepared for a surge weight shift too early or too much inside break: lower inside wing deflates, weight shift too late or forget to brake: higher outside wing will deflate key is pressure on outside brake (keep pressure on this when turning) if you have deflation, stop [25] ONE SIDE WING OVER, OR ASYMMETRIC SPIRAL like normal wing over but in same direction but roll weight shift back to neutral to avoid stable spiral can be higher G's than symmetric spiral, but not constant so better that way [26] SWING PORPOISE DIVES practice to recognize and control of speed and pitch don't apply toggles below chest (no more than normal), this maneuver is about timing practice surge control (using brakes, speed bar) [27] SPIN to exit: - release both brakes progressively when canopy is in front on forward surge (when you see the ground) - eyes on horizon - some opposite brake - prepare for asymmetric surge Caution: could happen if slow down too much for a landing and turn at the last moment. Application: fly into the middle of thermal traffic then have to turn really hard to avoid others. SIV to enter: - wrap breaks, sit up upright, heals crossed and under - fly at low speed toward stall (4 sec) than suddenly raise one brake and lower the other to elbow lock - one side of wing stalled (flies backward), other wing side loaded and flies forward - outside brake up/off (may have hand on outside riser to prevent twist) . Note: The negative spin can become violent and disorientating if you hold onto it, or if the spin is released when the glider is off to one side. A last resort to get out of spin - quick full stall [28] FRONT HORSESHOE enter: pull inner A lines (not a useful move, but interesting to see) exit: quick deliberate symmetrical pump on brakes [29] DEEP STALL, PARACHUTAL STALL hands up! added boost: speed bar push what's happening: glider is inflated, but descending straight down, wind coming from below (no forward speed) caution: can happen to wet glider [30] BEFORE FLIGHT B A S I C B: buckles legs to chin A: A risers, left over right S: speed bar hookup, velcro undone I: instruments ready C: chute, check velcro [31] PARACHUTE RESERVE DEPLOYMENT look, located at right hip, grab handle one move throw "down and out" hard, toward opening and away from motion when deployed - pull A lines, down plane is dangerous Note: if low, in doubt - whip it out! Always throw: if you fall through lines, feeling light headed, cravate that can't be controlled if reserve does not come out of deployment bag, pull reserve bridal hard, reel back to re-deploy [32] SPEED BAR release brake (no wrap, up) C-handles rear if pitch down, release speed bar some, pull and release Cs. light control on c-lines (don't pull to stall) release on turbulence, move to 10% brake and turbulence mode [33] LANDING IN WATER don't! any movement in water can kill unclip harness before going in, but don't jump (can't estimate height) land downwind, let glider dive in front (traps air) moving water - UNCLIP - one buckle at a time under reserve you can't unclip (maybe your chest) [34] SPIRAL WITH OPPOSITE DEFLATION A-riser deflation Spiral the other way Fewer Gs .... lower black-out risk [35] DUST DEVIL rosette to one side dive on glider, at center rear full weight on top, and hold onto trailing edge [36] BOWTIE from line over tumble control glider, possible fly it, until reserve throw (don't land with it) [37] GIFT WRAP pull canopy along seem until clear sky, then throw quickly [38] LAUNCHING SEQUENCE BASIC pre-flight build wall to inspect lines, look for sticks, knots yell "launching" pause wing on top to inspect all lines (cravate, knots, line-over, etc) pause to look at wing tips cross wind - take a step to control which wing rises first [39] EN-C TIPS less brake travel, beware of stalling don't over-react to deflation [40] B-LINE STALL not very useful, high pull force required, not the fastest descent, stresses glider gets snaky with high aspect ratio gliders [41] SPIRAL DIVE to enter: - quick entry pull inside brake, release outside brake - weight shift in to turn, and prevent spin - wing dives forward and assumes a vertical flight path to fly : - shift to weight neutral (not inside) - control descent and G force with brakes - beware, don’t keep inward weight shift, go to neutral - keep a neutral sitting position (not to inside! more to outside) and give way to centrifugal force - look straight down (look at inner wing to avoid nausea) to exit: - slowly release inside brake - careful not to release too quickly - some assistance with outside brake is essential (may be hard) - look at horizon to gauge turn - create gradual turns in same direction to release energy (bleed out slowly) notes: - if releasing too quickly, glider will pitch back then accelerate forward rapidly! - exit can take a lot of altitude, don't do low - hold muscles stomach tight to pressurize body - pull out if seeing stars or black spots - do not spiral with big ears (few lines taking load) - may fly into glider’s own rotor coming out - high G’s - practice starting with tight 360s to get used to Gs [42] FULL STALL To enter: - take half wrap brake lines - lean/sit upright, legs under, packed as tight unit - slowly bury brakes, progressively and symmetrically, lock elbows ... air speed and wind noise decrease, then period where wing falls back, and you go weightless - keep hands close to body/harness, thumbs may touch harness ... until you swing back under the glider - wing will thrash around, wait until glider reappears above you to exit: - wait for glider above head, do not release brakes as glider goes back. - release brakes symmetrically and slowly to chest level - the "back fly" position, a stabilized descent - pause here at chest for a second - important! back-fly position is important. - watch horizon, pay attention so stall is not asymmetric, then ease off brakes gently, provide some brake pressure all the way up, best to release brakes when wing is in front or directly above - prepare to brake a surge. Note: full stall is a 'hail mary' maneuver for spin, SAT, cravat, line-over (if high, try before reserve) fullstall.png Note: never release brakes with the glider behind you - surge can be very strong! [43] TREE LANDING Use radio, phone, gps to contact others See biner configuration See biner configuration [44] REAR RISER CONTROL turn by weight shift turn by pulling inwards (sideways, towards the middle) – the side you are turning into. Don’t do anything with the outer rear riser as you are turning – if you pull on it in any way it will work against your turn. ( caution: the wing is easy to spin or stall with rear risers.) For pitch control, pull backwards (not down) on the risers, to allow more subtlety and reduce loads. You aim to control pitch with small, fast inputs rather than by slowly adding armfuls. Try to use the smallest possible control input that is just enough to keep the glider above your head. The earlier you detect a pitch movement, and the faster you put input in, the smaller the control inputs you need to use. [45] SAT - to exit a SAT/autorotation you pull brake on the low side, while to exit a spiral you pull brake on the high side. In both cases weight shift toward the brake you pull. [46] AUTO-ROTATION WITH ASYMETRIC OR CRAVATE - if low throw reserve, - opposite brake, but wing is loaded so just enough to exit and then prepare for hands up then a surge

This post describes an odd looking camera of fairly unique design, the Agfa Flexilette 35mm twin lens reflex.

My Flexilette camera

As with so many of my vintage camera collection this Flexilette was an eBay sale which I found whilst browsing around looking to see if there were any bargains. I came upon this unit, priced at only £9.95 in a ‘buy it now’ sale, and thought it was worth a gambol. It was described as faulty with a locked film advance and shutter but in my experience that could be a variety of reasonably simple fixes, so I bought it and paid an additional £5 for postage.

When the unit turned up a couple of days later I found a somewhat untidy unit with a couple of physical damage issues, and the shutter / film advance problem the seller referred to. It was minus the leather case (which was as expected – the seller didn’t say a case was included), and without any other accessories.

Film advance mechanism

As it happens, the shutter / film advance issue was easily fixed.

The camera was basically locked because the shutter had been fired but the shutter release button didn’t travel far enough to also release the film advance mechanism. This left the film advance locked and unable to move. By pushing the shutter release down with a small screwdriver inserted in the release button which acted as a cable release, the film advance unlocked and the camera worked. It locks up again on the next cycle if the same small screwdriver isn’t used to release it, but the problem sounds easily fixable.

The other damage issues the camera has are a broken viewfinder lens, although this is the framing viewfinder rather than the actual focusing screen viewfinder so it’s not so bad, and a dent in the top cover. Also the trim is missing from the top of the viewer and the camera is a bit grubby and worn. All in all however it isn’t bad for £15 since a working clean example is quite expensive just because they are unusual and rare.

Agfa Flexilette Description

The flexilette was made by Agfa in the early 1960s and build on the basic Agfa Silette 35mm camera body. The stand out feature of the flexilette is the fact that it is a twin lens reflex, with an upper viewing lens used for composition and focusing, and a lower taking lens which is responsible for the actual capture of the picture to film.

Twin lens reflex cameras were fairly common for larger format film like 120 and 620, but there were very few 35mm designs made.

I guess the main advantage of the design is to give a larger composition area, but the design can also lead to more interesting compositions, because the camera is naturally held at a lower level rather than at eye level. Composition is more tricky however because the image is reversed. The light is reflected up to the viewing screen via a mirror so it takes time to become accustomed to moving the camera in the opposite direction than expected to change the composition.

In truth, other than the twin lens reflex design, the Flexilette is in other ways an unremarkable camera.

Aperture and shutter speed

The Prontor shutter offers speeds of 1 sec to 1/500 sec and bulb exposures and the 45mm Apotar f/2.8 lens can be stopped down to f/22. There is no exposure meter, but the viewing screen has a split level focusing aid in the centre of the screen to assist in getting the focus sharp.

The camera has a flash sync socket, but of course the viewing screen at the top of the camera means there is no flash shoe fitted, so the user would probably have had a flash holder which screwed into the tripod bush on the bottom of the camera.

The frame counter on the top of the camera, above the bottom mounted film advance lever, is the sort which counts down, so it would be set to the number of frames just after loading the film. There is a small sliding button on the back of the camera enable the photographer to do this.
