Gliding competitions

A race of gliding, gliding, or speed race, usually is divided into a number of trials (minimum three).

Each test consists of a "theme", which is a path marked by "pillars" or turning points. The theme will be awarded to drivers by the race during the briefing mattuttino, which are also described, with the greatest possible accuracy, the weather of the day.

The length of the topic assigned will depend on the forecast day by day more or less favorable conditions of the atmosphere, in turn derived from parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity and sunshine.

The race will also meteorologist complex phenomena such as more or less unstable air mass, obtained by plotting the data from a survey in the early morning air.

These factors make it possible to predict with reasonable accuracy the evolution of the mass of air in the theater of the race.

This situation will be carefully evaluated by the pilot, trying to get from your machine the best compromise between speed and distance.

The issue of race is presented as a closed polygon whose vertices, called "pillars", should be bypassed in the assigned sequence.

Evidence that the pilot has completed the race course will be provided by an electronic device called "logger" connected to the onboard GPS.

Win the test day, getting the highest score, the pilot will have traveled as fast as the assigned theme.

Finally win the game, the contestant who has achieved the highest overall score, the sum of the partial scores obtained in different days.

Gliding

The thermal flight

In the middle of the day the ground warms up of course. The warm air, being lighter, tends to rise: it is thus to create an updraft (thermal), able to do the glider climbs at high altitude.

The technique of soaring, which is used by the pilot, is to make the most of warm rising air currents to ascend the spiral flying in all 'inside of the heat itself.
Gliding from one thermal to another, you can travel great distances.

The flight dynamic or slope

When a horizontal air flow (wind) meets orographic obstacle on its path, tends to climb up to jump over the obstacle and then return trajectory. The glider then positioned along the slope by running the "eight" at the bottom to keep the air mass and quadagnare share.

The flight on air

When the wind speed becomes high values ​​(100-150kmh intercepts and other mountain systems (Alps) can reach very well over 10,000 meters.

The world record of altitude is 14938 feet with American Robert Harris in California.

RC Helicopters UH-60 Black Hawk 3 Channel Indoor RC Helicopter Review

          i had never owned an r/c helicopter before, and this one looked good to start with for the price. by the time the battery died on the first charge i could already fly it fairly well. it took quite a few good crashes first tho, stayed together like a champ. on the 2nd charge i turned my 5 yr old daughter loose with it, she had a blast just making it take off and land again. since she didnt really do any extensive flying, the battery lasted an amazingly long time for her. 2 of our 3 dogs barked at it and chased it, the 3rd was just petrified of it. she must have played with it for over 3 hrs the first nite. now she cant wait till i get home from work so she can fly it more. guess im gonna hafta buy one for me now. great toy at a great price.

powered flight

What powered flight

The flight can 'be many things can' be a hobby, the direct road to a prestigious profession, a way to quickly move from one place to 'another, but for almost all practitioners and' a passion.

Passion is the thing that drives a Jet Commander, which has just completed a long flight line to board a small aerobatic and ringed "figures" for fun, or that drives us, not professionals, to find time in 'lunch break for a stroll along the slopes of the Alps or the hills of Monferrato.

The fact that some of the flight will also become a convenient transport system, for others the daily work, does not mean that every take-off, even after so many years, you feel a sense of freedom.

Freedom ': it'! the flight from 'this feeling forever, but enjoy it safely requires study, training. In fact, the school you can 'teach the technique and rules, but your behavior will allow the correct and prudent' in the years to get something really satisfying.

The races of powered flight

At the beginning of the goal of 900 races to see who was unable to rise from the ground, and is 'past progressive: in the '20s and '30s to speed races' pure and height above the ground, in the 60s and 70 races in mixed speed 'and accuracy of navigation in the days to the current races regularity'.

In the '60s classic "Castle Tour Piedmont" committed riders (with the instruments of the time: compass, airspeed indicator, stopwatch and map), to follow the route assigned, against the winds and recognize roads and hills in order to arrive on the goals at the right time.

Today, electronic instruments has removed any mystery about the knowledge of its position, and the race was' transformed and is played on three other parameters:
• speed 'and accuracy of route planning
• based on data provided within the first few minutes of
• departure.
• capacity 'to recognize terrain features
• comparing them to fly over some photographs.
• precision of the landing maneuver.

Certainly not 'more' time the hiss of air around the helmet and goggles to the "Red Baron", but it 'still a challenging and fun way to participate in a competition to more' good opens the door to travel, awards and grants for international competitions.

RC Helicopters S006G with GYRO Review

          The Syma S006 is very well built and is quite durable. Too big for indoor flying, but great fun outdoors in zero to light wind conditions. Its low forward speed really limits it's capability in wind. (This is common with all co-axial helicopters.) Would certainly buy another, but will probably transition to conventional (single rotor) helicopter next purchase.

RC Helicopters 3 Channels Indoor RC Chinook Helicopter Overview

I wrote an earlier review about this toy helicopter describing how I thought I overcharged it and upset the balance between the front and rear rotars.......purchased another one because I liked the first one so much and as I reread the directions I discovered there are buttons on the ends of the remote to adjust this.

I must have set the remote down on one of these buttons and accidently changed this setting but it was set origionally so it flew fine.

I adjusted the old helicopter and it flies fantastic again and I gave the new one to a friend.

These things fly fantastic and are very durable and I highly recomend. My 9 yearold twins fly it all the time.

One thing to watch out for is the remote is line of sight and if you get too far away or something gets in between you and helicopter the remote cuts off power and helicopter falls but its sturdy.

Also its a no wind toy......no celing fans on or no furnace blower going as these will buffett the helicopter.

RC Helicopters 3 Channels Indoor Black Hawk RC UH-60 Overview

This toy is cool looking and fairly small. The only issue I see with it, after flying it around a bit is that the trim button is only good for about 2 seconds and if you turn the helo left or right it has to be "trimmed up" again. I don't know if the rear rotor blade is too big for it, if it was dropped in shipment or what the deal is, but the helo looks just like the movie "Black Hawk Down" as it spins out of control quite a bit. Now if the name of this helo would have been "Black Hawk Down model" then I would expect the poor flight performance.

I bought a SYMA Cobra helo....it is was better and I use it a lot more than this Black Hawk. Maybe the bugs will work themselves out. I guess I can't complain about the Black Hawk as I spent $15 on it (or there about).

HAPPY FLYING!

"Get to the choppa!"

GIFT SET OF 2 Genuine Syma 3 Channel S107G RC Helicopter Review

          What a learning experience! In May I ordered an S107 from (another reseller here) but it arrived "dead on arrival" (couldn't power the remote, also had visible build flaws - and many other Amazon reviewers said theirs were DOA, too). Amazon's buyer protection is great: I packed up the defect, printed return label, sent back, full refund. Yet, I knew others were enjoying their Syma copters and I saw fun web vids showing S107 in action - beautiful flights.
          Worth a retry! Jaded but smarter, I searched enthusiasts' blogs. One photo-packed blog claimed some counterfeit S107s were being sold but they recommended buying from Amazon reseller "Superstition Hobbies" who sells the genuine Syma products and replacement parts. I took the bait, ordered this paired set from that reseller (plus spare rotor blades which I know can eventually wear a bit).
          SUCCESS! Two gorgeous S107s, fly beautifully, have tremendous build quality, superb power, nicely maneuverable as they hover, turn, fly. The discounted price is very affordable, and it's great to have a pair so I can recharge one, while flying the other.
          Within weeks I purchased a third (as a gift) from Superstition Hobbies. Tested great! I know my pal will love it.
          Great purchase if you get the genuine item from the right reseller. I really believe the research and reseller choice, made the difference.
