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.
