Further questions, are there any papers or sources on how the evalution for that equipment went and what they exactly did with all of the Stuff they suddenly had.
Also why was e.g. the Mi-24 Hind not reused by the German Airforce seeing as it was a widely successfull combat helicopter.
Hi all, I'm just starting to plan my Sprinter conversion and am doing a ton of research / planning in advance. I'm starting with electrical and plumbing, since those are the parts that seem like they constrain the design space most and need to have groundwork laid first. The trouble I'm running into is that there doesn't seem to be something like "the digikey/mcmaster-carr of conversion van equipment", a place with high quality products (ruling out amazon), and a selection so vast that they're more concerned with helping you search than promoting some item.
Don't get me wrong, I think there's a lot of value in forming a relationship with a distributor so that you can ask questions and get sanity checked, but so far I haven't found one that has carried everything that all the others carry, which means I haven't found one that won't try to steer me towards the products they happen to have. What I'd really like, in the absence of finding the "we target companies instead of individuals, and we carry everything" distributor, is to find a list of as many equipment brands as I can, so that I can manually compare and contrast their offerings. Yes, I know there are a lot of them, I've been reading lists of inverter/chargers for several days at this point... and I still get the suspicion I'm missing big names.
Does such a thing exist? If not, is there interest in compiling such a list as a wiki page for this subreddit?
Entries are listed by date posted, with the exception of the initial handful of items, which were all posted on the same date to this post. All websites listed will fall under one of the following two categories:

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey everyone, I’ve been doing my research slowly and I’ve finally made a little list of what I think would be a good setup to start out with. I appreciate any and all help and i hope I did enough research to abide by the subreddits posting guidelines, thanks again!
I plan on growing 3-4 plants at a time, the strain is not yet decided but I’ll be going with autos instead of photos, I decided that because since I’m a beginner I’d really like to be able to have as easy of a grow to start out with and autos seemed to appeal more to that side.
Grow tent: Vivosun 48”x48”x80” Mylar hydroponic grow tent with observation window
LED light: Sunraise 1000w LED grow light full spectrum(will be buying 1 at first, since I can’t pay $400 right now for a good light I will be buying 2 of these eventually)
Ventilation: Vivosun 6 inch 440 CFM inline fan with speed controller
Medium: I plan on using Fox Farms Fx14054 happy frog potting soil 12 quart(if you have any suggestions for the easiest soil to use from sprout to harvest please let me know)
Nutes: Fox Farm liquid nutrient trio soil formula
Wall clip on fan: Genesis 6-inch clip convertible table top and clip fan
Thermometer gauge: Acurite 00613 indoor thermometer and hydrometer with humidity gauge
PH control: General hydroponics ph control kit(this is probably the 1 part I’m not confident in, any better suggestions to keep ph under control?)
Pots: I have not decided on what to use yet, I was wondering if anyone has advice on a way to maybe start the grow in the pot you’ll still be using when you harvest(if it’s better to start small and move up though please let me know)
This grow will be done in a 2 bed apartment with it own room, smell or lack there of is pretty important to me, and thank you to everyone who uses this sub I have learned so much from you all and can not wait to join you!
If there’s anything wrong with this post please let me know!!!!!

The jacket was itchy and rough. It had long sleeves which were so long they would go past your hands and around to your back. The nurses would always used it to tie me up. I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried, and it made me feel so scared.
But today the kind nurse was letting me out! His name is James. He is a very big man, almost twice my size. He went behind me with a key and undid the knots, freeing my hands. I felt so much better.
"Thank you!" I shouted.
James nodded. He looked very sad, and angry at the same time.
"What happened, James?"
He shook his head. "Listen, Timmy. This is going to be the last time I see you. Be good, and do what the soldiers say, okay?"
I looked around, and realised that this wasn't anywhere in the hospital that I recognised. There were other men in the jackets, who were being released as well. The room had identical grey walls all around, which were the same colour as the ground. It looked like the whole room was made up of ground, actually. We were all seated in benches, facing a whiteboard that could roll around. Many khaki green bags were piled up on the floor in front, beside a door.
It wasn't unusual. Sometimes, I will fall asleep and wake up in a completely different place. I wouldn't remember how I got there, but it was okay because it was always inside the hospital.
"I'm scared," I whispered.
"I know," he said. "Get Jack to protect you, okay?"
"Okay."
Jack was one of my roommates, Dr. Robinson said. We would take turns being in charge while the others slept. He was also the baddest and meanest of them all. Dr. Robinson said that he was the reason we had to wear the uncomfortable jacket all day, because he had hurt a lot of people.
"Boarding time!" A man in military uniform shouted. He was carrying a backpack that looked too large for him and had a rifle slung in front of him. "Single file. Grab your parachutes and suit up." The other men stood up and walked to the front, picking up some of the bags and started strapping themselves in.
"It's time to go," James said.
I didn't want to leave, but I knew I had to. Dr. Robinson said grown boys don't fuss around, so I got up quietly. I got to the front and was worried I wouldn't know how to wear the bag, but it was actually really easy. I got stuck for a little while, but one of the soldiers helped me with it. I than
