Fly an RC helicopter with your friends or children is a fascinating hobby for many. Here are some tips that you would do well to remember to buy and fly these sophisticated little machine.

When I entered the park with my friend to go jogging in the morning, I saw a man with a remote in your hand almost in the middle of the park with a group of excited children around him. The boy was the sky that the remote control to watch the sky. Each time you press the buttonThe remote control was the group of children that make noise and jump in unison. As I followed his gaze and I knew what it was. It 'was an RC helicopter (helicopter remote control) implementation in the air.

I brought the same model for my son a week earlier. E 'was RC AH-64 Apache helicopter. I remembered how ecstatic to get the son took my model. I decided one, I put all the information in the form of helicoptersArticles and put them on the Internet, to know to help others.

Today there are many opportunities for an RC helicopter that the correct choice is confusing. My advice is to get only 4 helicopters, more channels. You must control the radio control duel propeller and full of movement – forward, backward, left, right, up and down. It should also be co-axial rotor technology and a rechargeable battery. Main rotor parts is also availablewith the kit.

the actual manual carefully before starting to fly RC helicopters. Be sure to include all the charts, and put all the pieces in place. Properly configure the machine is very essential. Check all gas boom that are in the right place. Take care to keep the holder of the foam for the life of your mixing levers. You would do well to make a list of pre-flight check before flying start. The list should be moresecurity to, auctions transmitters, radio and screws. Look for the first time your toys in the air. and even control the weather before you leave, you can fly RC helicopters. Be careful also on the surroundings. Never fly your helicopter in a place that is near power poles or those objects.

Take time to learn the art of flying RC helicopters. The device can move very quickly in the air, andgo really high. So practice in order to fly safely, before any stunt with him. Learn to fly in all directions. Learn how to effectively use all the possibilities of remote control. The remote control of a RC helicopter might seem complex at first, but as time passes, you will be sent to the address. Spending the time is right with him to help you understand. Think about the battery life or it would come crashing to the ground.

Different types of RCHelicopters are available on the market. These types are generally divided in terms of maintaining control of the helicopter and its refinement to do. The 3-channel RC helicopters are easier to control. Then there are 4-channel RC helicopters that are more advanced than the previous version and a bit 'more difficult to manage. You would need some time before the master remote. The latest version is 6-Channel RCWhat are the most demanding. To fly this machine out to get it done, you have to spend a long time.

RC Apache helicopters are the most requested. They are a replica of the real, which were used by the United States in the Gulf Wars. Models such as AH-64 3CH Super Stable and 2CH RTF Electric are very popular. Before deciding to buy them all, you would do well to read the review of the best RC helicopter ApacheMachines.

Who says you can not Putti

These days, retired to Victoria, British Columbia, I seem to spend a lot of time in the memories. Is this a sign of age, I wonder? I secretly adhered to the "pipe and slippers Brigade ', without realizing it, my friends blame me and say I should not live in the past so much I protested and said." Like the past but it was a good place. My last trip to this place brought me right to the Victoria Falls. I spent many happy days of my youth there, on the north bank in Zambia and SouthBank of Zimbabwe. Although in these days of 1960 and 1970, Zimbabwe was called Rhodesia.

From the shores of the north, the waterfalls of Queen Victoria on a number of spectacular views, which is some jump from rock to rock you see to the edge of the vertical drop where the water of the Zambezi River crash, 300 vertical feet straight. It is possible only at certain times of the year, when the volume of water in the river is low. Right on the lipthere is a wall of rock below the water surface, where a small natural pool is the "Devil's Pool." Some stupid people immersed in it and floating flat on your Tums, they peered into the abyss. Inevitably, most of them with the liquid coming from the river that are not fortified, but the nearest pub! These "dumb" ancient writers shudder to think about it now, especially because it is not uncommon to occasionally disappear for a "fool" Over The Edge on the back burner in"Boiling Pot" below.

Much of my time on the south bank was managed as a young driver with Ruach (Rhodesian United airlines) flights above cases, and Apaches of the hunting reserve nearby with old planes Piper Aztec Piper spent and older. Of the latter, if memory serves, was one of the oldest operating Apache (PA-23) in the world. The flip of the cases has been called "The Flight of Angels", posted characterized by a set of David Livingstone used again in 1855describe his feelings when he first saw it … "Scenes so lovely must have been looked upon by angels in their flight." His statue looks today. The passengers on our flights would gasp in amazement we flew directly over the edge and spray, which fell a few hundred yards, when the river is in full swing. "Mosi or Tunya" the smoke that thunders, was the description of the local folk music used long before the white man Livingstone. Thisshows how people have tried for hundreds of years, the most appropriate superlatives to describe in their own language, to the point. But the cases and the surrounding area are almost indescribable in their beauty, especially in light of a lunar rainbow, "Moonbow. 'The Flight of the game accompanying the river towards Kazungula, there was a money-back guarantee on all customers dissatisfied … it was so abundant wildlife. lechwe Rare could be found. It 'was one of the last unspoiled places onEarth.

We managed to swallow the airfield Spray Vista, which was unfortunately encroaching suburbia in recent years. But, I was told by reliable source, if you know where to look, there are still pieces of aircraft and the tools are in the bush around at the moment it does, before my time. In 1935, the local mechanic, Ted Spencer, has started a small company called Air Charter Airways Spencer. First, he ran a used Puss Moth, but a Fox Moth soonlater. His room was in the remote area of ​​the Zambezi, where the strain Barotseland kuomboka famous was the height of the summer floods. This has been an annual event in the near Mongu, where the king Barotse litunga that shines in the British admiral's uniform to wear his entire village of barges at a higher level, surrounded by colorful ceremony. In Mongu, it was common for a pilot project for the old earth golf course and a cry of "fore" to warn all players. The newTakeoff and landing strip are, when it was completed entirely in brick, made of millions of them. airstrips in Balovale, Kalab Sesheke were all unpaved areas, but a dirt surface at that time was very different from a dirt surface in today's world of aviation. They were rough, and a man-eating lions Senanga once had to be sent to the safe arrival and departure to ensure passengers. It is the stuff of dreams and National Geographic.

In subsequent years, a Tiger Moth and aFairchild was the fleet and some Piper Tri-Pacer registered, Avro Ansons, DH Rapides. He hummed in the area and extended beyond. But never forget to-be, has been the increase of the wonderful Flying Boat service to Victoria Falls. BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) have ended their short S45 Solent on the Zambezi above the cases from 1949 to 1952. They were traveling from Port Bell on Lake Victoria in Uganda, the Vaal Dam in South Africa. The Bridge on theBank, known as "Jungle Junction" is still in front with a plaque marking the site. Can you imagine the old days to get up and walk down the gangway to be greeted by a giant python in the tree above, with a half-eaten monkey in your mouth? This really happened, and are perhaps best described as … As face to face with the darkest Africa! The stories are legendary and many old people who lived as something of fiction. As Jack Soper,who came to live on the cases in 1904, and kept a pet crocodile. Over the years, many celebrities have joined the angels in their flight. Lady Baden-Powell was one. Paribatra and Prince, brother of the King of Siam, and his family appeared on the passenger list soon.

Unfortunately, the magic of the cascade of Victoria's for a time suspended in 1970 when political unrest in the region at its peak. "It 's been a long time," as the old proverb say the least. There was freedomFighters "or" guerrilla ", depending on which side you were who are determined to destroy the political agenda in Rhodesia. My thoughts on this subject are very clear, but now largely irrelevant. It 'been a long time of time before the Canadians Most were born there. Suffice it to say that "The Flight of Angels" is a very risky business, after a heat-seeking SAM (air missiles) was from the north shore in one of our licensed Aztec . lost, but at the end of "research" thethatched roof of the Elephant Hills Hotel and razed. And a mortar bomb in the tea garden over the famous Victoria Falls Hotel for one night. No one was hurt, fortunately, but the "Grand Old Lady of the case, which was built in Edwardian days in 1904, suffered great humiliation. Two Canadian tourists were killed by the north bank of gunfire in 1973 while they were exploring the gorge below the falls. "It was a time," yes.

Forget? Some of them, probably.Most of it, absolutely not.

How helicopters work

How helicopters work


How helicopters work

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 08:41 AM PDT

Helicopters are more maneuverable than airplanes or other small aircraft. During a plane can only go forward, a helicopter can hover the page, move from side to 360 degrees and even fly backwards. These skills make it extremely versatile helicopters incredible. They are used as a rescue vehicle, military vehicles and police forces and means of surveillance.

To explain how a helicopter is in the air, it helps to understand how a planWing works. The wing of a plane is wide at the front and tapering to a point in the back. This shape forces air under the wing as the plane moves forward, what to lift the vehicle. A helicopter blades are tapered like an airplane wing.

A plane must move forward to maintain lift. A helicopter can maintain their "wings" or blades in continuous motion. These endless air forces under them and lift increases, even if the airplane is around the place. It does so with a twisting motion. Two or more sheets are attached to a central shaft, which rotates like a fan. This building is located on the roof of the vehicle, and is called the main rotor shaft.

If you have never seen a helicopter, you've probably noticed that there is another, smaller propeller at the stern. This is the tail rotor. To increase fast enough to reach the main rotor spinning, you need the most powerful engine helicopters. If the> Helicopter above the ground, the force of the motor rotor rotates the body of the helicopter along with the principal. The tail rotor drive the rear of the vehicle to the side, does not occur. It provides a resistance force that the body still keep turning the rotor blades.

To fly a helicopter, was walking with two hands and two. A hand control lever as a "cyclical", the helicopter left, right, forward and backward. The other handuses the "collective". This controls the up and down motion of the trades and the speed of the engine. Both feet rest on its axis pedals that control the tail rotor of helicopter, spinning can.

The controls of the main rotor lift, direction and movement from side to side of the vehicle. The machine in the rotor can change the angle of all blades at the same time, the amount of lift so the boat up and down at different speeds.In addition, the angle of the rotor blades to be adjusted individually. This controls the horizontal movement of the helicopter, including forward, backward, left and right.

The tail rotor, the helicopter can rotate in a circle. Changing the angle of the rotor blades, the helicopter can circle around its axis in a complete or partial will.

Hovering is one of the most difficult maneuvers of a helicopter can do. To float must pilot the use of cyclic to keep the helicopter in an above ground, the use of a certain collective levels, and use the pedals to keep helicopters in the right direction. wind conditions can float difficult and dangerous, but it is a very useful skill. Hovering helicopter pilots often for long periods in rescue operations, military maneuvers and the duties of police.

MilitaryHelicopters> have a slightly different design civil helicopters. Apache helicopters, for example, have leaves coated in titanium and graphite composite. pilots of military helicopters often fly low to the ground to prevent attacks on surface air missile, and the leaves are ruggedly constructed to withstand the obstacles to meeting branches of trees, power lines, and others. Apaches are equipped with missiles, weapons, sensors and weapons.

BlackHawk helicopters are specially equipped. Because they are often used to transport equipment in war zones, are equipped with two detachable stub wings on both sides of the hull designed appropriately. Each is built with a pier that can accommodate up to 9,000 pounds. Black Hawk helicopters also have a hook on the frame, you can then fly to protect the large load, the helicopter dangling below. Black Hawks are also a function of autopilotstabilization of recording automatically.

Helicopters are perhaps the most versatile aircraft ever invented. With their incredible flight characteristics, which can perform the maneuvers of aircraft can not do anything else -. The helicopters are truly remarkable and are used to transport equipment to perform important military maneuvers, and save every day lives. If you've never done a ride in one, you know, is an unforgettable experience.

Space Derby – Just like a Cub Scout Fun Activity Win

Posted: 17 Apr 2011 11:40 AM PDT

Last Saturday, my 8 year old son took his first Derby with his Cub Scout Pack Space Many young parents, brothers and Cub Scout leader showed up for the event. What is a Space Derby? Well, it's probably a little 'different than you think.

Each Cub Scout Space Derby will receive a kit with their Cub Scout pack. The kit includes balsa wood, that take advantage of each participant to form the body of a rocket. There are also plastic in the kit, which can be cutFashion fins for the rocket. Here is where it starts to sound a bit 'weird. There is also a propeller in the kit. A propeller? I thought it was a rocket? Well, actually it's like a rocket, but the real driving force of the rocket. The scouts race their four rockets at once. The missiles hanging from a horizontal wire and the propellers are powered by a rubber band that comes with the kit with the power.

Missiles are classified into three categories, speed, beauty andOriginality. It soon becomes clear that the main thing that makes her a rocket "weight fast. Since all guided missiles are the same and hurt the same, the lighter the rocket, the faster the job. However, if you do your light rocket, you risk structural failure, if the tires are wound. So there's a balancing act to have a light but strong missile to have a fast.

My son and I decided to go for the beauty category, since this was his firstDerby. We wanted an idea, as another missile in terms of speed performs better this time to come. We followed the instructions of the set and start gluing the two halves of balsa wood. Later we used very natural to start the sand paper, the shape of our race. Later I found out from some of the other parents that a vegetable peeler works wonders for shaving wood from the body in rough shape of the rocket to get. Neither this early information, we have the sand paper. Once we have obtainedthe basic shape we wanted, we have finer sandpaper. We changed to 400 sandpaper, then finally the 800th

Subsequently, the rocket sprayed with primer. Once the primer dried, we sanded thoroughly with sandpaper 800. Then we have another layer of primer and sanded again. We continued this process until the rocket body was smooth enough to give us satisfaction. I have a friend, I should have said loop primers used. He says it would be between the cracks of balsa wood or stuffed with atwo layers. I take his word. I used regular spray paint primer … the cheap stuff.

After we finished priming and sanding, we sprayed a coat of Candy Apple Red on the body. When spray painting, there are a few tips to make a big difference how do you look like your finished model. spray paint in a well ventilated area. It 'important to keep the spray the right distance from your model … about 6 inches is usually recommended. If you can alsoclose the paint runs they, too far and your painting is an orange-peel (rough and matt will) have. Continue to move the can when spraying … Once again, a lot of time in a place in runs and carry a not-so-great finish.

If you spray paint your rocket, you can fashion a body bar made from a coat hanger. This prevents you from getting all the coats of spray paint, and before that lost the fingerprints on your new coat of paint. Be careful, asafe place, at the end of your crutch, keeping your fresh paint to touch anything until it dries. Sufficient time for the paint to dry (30 minutes) before a second layer or (2 to 4 hours) before they hit the rocket body, depending on the humidity.

Once the first layer is dry, we have a second coat of Candy Apple Red Chrome We painted the wings and propeller after the initiation of them. Since they are not very practical, all the stickers, I had to take silver and black sharpiesFlashes on the address labels. Then I cut the bolts and glued them on the rocket body. My wife uses a fine tip black marker to Capt. Justin Rodgers a missile, "adding tail fins.

Justin Rocket won first place in the category Beauty. And 'well in terms of speed, but there are definitely lighter than a rocket next year. I hope you find some useful tips in this article to build your own space rocket to win Derby.

Micro Helicopter Control System – What will you choose?

Micro Helicopter Control System – What will you choose?


Micro Helicopter Control System – What will you choose?

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 10:40 AM PDT

Micro helicopters are usually equipped with one of two types of remote controls. If you are the helicopter on the market for a new microphone, it is important to understand the differences between these types of purchases, the most of your. In this article I will explain the difference between the two types of control and the advantages and disadvantages of each. In addition, I will try for some tips on some bonus features useful to a controller. We hope that afterReading this have a better idea of which system to look for in a micro-helicopter control.

The first type of control is IR. Infrared systems use infrared LEDs (like a TV remote control) for the receiver to send the signal to one or more infrared rays on the same helicopter. These systems are very common with inexpensive micro-helicopters, because they take very good for producers. It may not sound likeType of system would not work very well on an RC helicopter. However, it turns out that the right attitude, the IR LEDs work very well. But this is the key … in the right setting.

Infrared fight outside in natural light, the wavelength of the rays of the sun can interfere with the controller. Direct "line of sight between the helicopter and control is required. It will not work through walls, people, etc. In essence, the helicoptermust "see" the controller. Finally, infrared controls are limited in scope. Over 30 to 50 meters from the controller, they tend to lose the signal. Fortunately for us, these requirements are perfectly suited for micro helicopter. Infrared micro helicopters must be used indoors at close range so happens a technology fits very well.

The second type of control is the most typical radio frequency, or type "RF" monitoring. These may operatesuffer in a number of different frequency bands and not to the same restrictions as infrared. Of course, on the other hand, are RF controller to implement more expensive and have a number of its potential disadvantages. Typically, you will not find in high-cost RF controller micro-helicopter.

RF control systems offer much greater range than their counterparts in the infrared. You do not have line of sight issues are also suitable for operation through walls. ThisDays if used in enclosed spaces filled our homes due to RF interference technology. Things like microwave ovens, cordless phones, computers, routers and wireless phones are all potential sources of RF interference. In practice, I found no problems helicopters are a big problem for the micro. However, there is something to consider and take into account, especially if you have a lot of these types of devices at home.

There are some features that can bewant to look for in a micro-helicopter

. 1 Cut the adjustment – allows you to cut, helicopters make small problems with yours. For example, curved tail rotor helicopter can cause wheels to the adjustment of the problem of attitude, the carts so you can fight without slippage.

2 -. tri-band or frequency micro helicopter often go "are available in different bands or"Frequency" to allow several other helicopters to be flown at the same time without interference. Some controllers are switches to select between the bands and frequencies. This is a very useful feature in that helicopter, you can program different exchanges with the controller.

. 3 Ergonomic Design – This may seem an obvious feature to look for, but with online shopping, a controller well-developed design is often overlooked. Some Manufacturer as the controls for the design looks rather than usability. Make sure that the controls in a symmetrical manner, providing easy access to all controls at the bottom. Trust me, the flight much easier.

4 – Download. This system will only be built helicopters are an option for low power consumption, but it's nice not to worry about lugging around a charger and stay close to the sockets, if you'd like to join your> Helicopter move.

In most cases, an infrared system for the control of helicopter is more than adequate for the control of an account. However, it is important to the border, before realizing a buying decision. You are at the highest end of the micro helicopters, RF controller (my preference) is an interesting option to consider. You do not have to worry about line of sight obstacles like furniture, walls or passers-by. The most important thing is to understand yourOptions and make a decision that provides the benefits available to you.

Model Helicopters You Can Fly

Posted: 04 Apr 2011 06:20 AM PDT

Flying Radio Controlled Helicopter flight is challenging and passionate in many ways a remote controlled airplane is doing challenges. You need to put in a lot of practice but the rewards are worth it. Most pilots prefer to use a simulator or a beginner looking to learn to fly coach or a trainer. remote controlled helicopters are expensive, and nobody wants to risk an accident to escape with her. We recommend checking the beginner> Helicopters elementary school for more information.

remote controlled helicopters are a "complete package", in which only a few pieces and assembled in a kit with almost 90% or more assembled parts. Some kits are the only helicopter mounted only on the radio and engine, while other kits have the gyro motor and radio installed. You should choose a package that the engine, radio and gyro includes flights, because this is the best setup for a Beginners.

Nitro gas remote control helicopters to make a sound very realistic and are preferable to electric. The helicopter can fly nitro several times, because all you need is to fill more than gas. On the other hand, electric-powered helicopter flying minutes of power from 8 to 10 before the loss. You need an additional package has batteries or recharge the batteries.

The only advantage of electric tractionHelicopters> were the helicopter nitro gas is under way that are super quiet. If you plan to fly often in areas where restrictions on the noise, then power electric helicopter is the best if not the stick nitro gas powered model. The Electric Mini RC Helicopter is perfect for all year round and flies inside.

The Reflex XTR 'Next To Reality' Flight Simulator or Dave Brown RCFS Radio Control Flight Simulator 2001 is a cost-for beginners to learn to fly helicopters, radio control effectively. Crashing model helicopter is expensive exercise, flight simulators, use a pay off in the first 30 seconds. Simulators closely simulate the real conditions and to help new pilots learn to respond to commands.

Some people want to start with something real and not interested in helicopter simulators such persons should take into consideration the size 0.30 Radio Controlledas it is relatively inexpensive repair kits.

Some models are recommended for beginners, electric RC helicopters are Dark Knight RTR Radio Control * Thunder Tiger Raptor 49 V.2 Helicopter RTF BB Pro Mod engine TTR-4839-A11. The helicopters are powered belts and are more accurate than torque shaft driven tail rotor helicopter. Running 3D maneuvers easily with a belt drive tail rotor.

Start with the Raptor 50Model and if you try to experience some Radio Control * Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 Helicopter High Performance Kit w / Motor TTR-4851 K 11, which is expensive and slightly larger. It 's a larger disk rotor, the parts are compatible with the 30th Raptor is stronger and has a silencer really cool. But the Raptor 50 is worth the investment.
