There are several methods of rc airplane training, and this page will give you a brief insight into each one. The methods given here also apply to rc helicopters, but for the main part we'll stick with airplanes. The important thing to remember when learning to fly radio control is that it will take you some time to gain confidence and better your flying skills. As with everything in life, everyone who wants to learn something new has to start on the very bottom rung of the ladder! RC airplane training is no different, and you need to learn to walk before you can run, as they say. The beauty is that these days many rc airplanes and helicopters are very user-friendly, and there is a huge choice...

Well as we have always said if you want to change the world you take something from one industry and apply it to another. History has shown this, for instance many of Leonardo DaVinci and his drawings and the Bicycle Mechanics Wright brothers. Well in that same tradition the Makers of Aircraft Jet Simulators, Lockheed are now producing a prototype Truck training simulator. can buy video games simulators in trucking just like the aviation ones by Microsoft already, sometimes art really does influence reality, 3D Virtual reality that is Well because there are certain things you will not wish to do in a truck during training, which will help a new driver learn experiences. For instance driving off the...

It appears that Raytheon Corp., which does lots of contracts for the United States military is shedding its Beechcraft brand of general aviation aircraft as that division is up for sale now. Of course this is rather unfortunate for the economic development associations of Salina Kansas and Wichita, Kansas, which both have aircraft plants there.In fact Raytheon aircraft Co. announced that it would be eliminating 600 or more jobs and although they announced that they would do this in January, now the company is for sale and the aircraft manufacturing plants might close. This is rather unfortunate considering Wichita, Kansas has seen a real estate bubble burst and is still recovering from the last wave...

Israel is preparing itself for war with Iran, as the Iranian President has promised the Iranian people that he will blow Israel off the map. Meanwhile Iran is supporting international terrorist organizations such as: Hamas and Hezbollah.Currently Israel has quite a few high-tech weapons at their disposal to defend their civilization and they have every right to do so. However, their current high-energy laser portable systems and they are antimissile defense systems are not quite capable of a larger swarm of incoming ICBM missiles. Therefore Israel is retrofitting its ballistic missile defense programs and upgrading its arrow interceptor systems. Currently Israel also has U.S. built Patriot missile...

When looking at the United States Military and our incredible advances it seems that we have everything. Our superiority is so vastly unequal in everyway, one can only wonder why anyone would pick a fight with us or wish to have a war with the US.It seems we have the most advanced Armies, Navy and Air Force, with technology unheard of only a decade ago. Recently I was talking to a man who claimed he was an up and coming aerospace engineer wanting to make a company and sell his wares to the military. He was trying to pick something that the military needed and concentrate on solving that problem and fulfilling that need in a little start up company of his own.In hearing this noble idea I did an...

Virus damage estimated at $55 billion in 2003. "SINGAPORE - Trend Micro Inc, the world's third-largest anti-virus software maker, said Friday that computer virus attacks cost global businesses an estimated $55 billion in damages in 2003, a sum that would rise this year. Companies lost roughly $20 billion to $30 billion in 2002 from the virus attacks, up from about $13 billion in 2001, according to various industry estimates." This was the story across thousands of news agencies desk January 2004. Out of $55 billion, how much did it cost your company? How much did it cost someone you know?I. The Why There is an average of 10-20 viruses released every day. Very few of these viruses actually make...

As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Sunday night's revelations that China National Nuclear Corp (CNNC) may strengthen its ties to UraMin could represent a broader picture than an ordinary acquisition of a near-term uranium producer. There is an ongoing global war for energy security, which appears to be politically inspired. China and Russia are the main opponents, especially in Africa, but have rivaled each other, over the past several years, in Central Asia. The goal for both nations is not only energy security but political influence and alliance over their targeted territories. On May 12th, Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan signed a declaration to upgrade and expand transport pipelines...

What if we used the wing tip vortices from a heavy jet airline taking off to power up the run way lights? At three minute separation, the runway lights could hit a peak output just in time for the next landing aircraft or the next one to take off. This would be most excellent at O'Hare, LaGuardia, LAX, Memphis during FedEx operations, etc. Also good for military operations. These aircraft generate a lot of wind on take off and climb out and that wind came at an expense of power to make the thrust and create the lift. We should never waste power. To learn more: then if these vortices are enough power to rip apart a small aircraft or cause an aircraft to crash, then surely we can use this with pop-up...

Foreign aid, foreign trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) have become weapons of mass persuasion, deployed in the building of both the pro-war, pro-American coalition of the willing and the French-led counter "coalition of the squealing". By now it is clear that the United States will have to bear the bulk of the direct costs of the actual fighting, optimistically pegged at c. $200 billion. The previous skirmish in Iraq in 1991 consumed $80 billion in 2002 terms - nine tenths of which were shelled out by grateful allies, such as Saudi Arabia and Japan. Even so, the USA had to forgive $7 billion of Egyptian debt. According to the General Accounting Office, another $3 billion were parceled at the...

Afraid to fly? No problem. Microsoft's Flight Simulator, one of the oldest simulation games around, will take you flying anywhere in the world in just about any type of plane you can think of.The year was 1982 when the first flight simulator came out. It was version 1.0. Graphically, it was quite simple, but it did give the user a chance to fly a real plane. In the early editions they used vector graphics, so the view from the cockpit was pretty much left to your imagination.As the game progressed, however, the graphics became more real. If you took a plane ride over New York, you would see a skyline that was letter perfect to what you would actually see if you were flying over New York in a...

The UAV, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is hear to stay and they are rapidly replacing the glory days of the fighter pilot and soon, there will be no humans in military aircraft flying the planes. Here is a quick overview of UAVs and all the new types. Hopefully these few links can catch you up on the subject to understand the future of these units. you can see quite quickly there are many types of UAVs and each works on a little bit different principle of flight. Also be aware that each aircraft is a compromise, speed for stability, payload for size and power, this has always been a fact of aerospace design. Now realize that these relatively easy to build units have different functions. UAV are generally...

THE LITTLE-KNOWN SPEECHWRITING SECRETS THAT WON GEORGE W. BUSH THE US ELECTIONHe's been accused of "mangling the language, destroying its meaning by avoiding the use of verbs, twisting nouns into verbs, and endlessly repeating phrases until they become zombified" (Source:'Bush and Blair accused of mangling English' by Kate Kelland, uk, Mon 15 November, 2004 12:50).But despite this George W. Bush has become the first Republican president to win re-election since Ronald Reagan in 1984.And he's been able to motivate the US public to vote in record numbers.In a time of stress and crisis, Bush was able to connect with the masses.Bush - who according to language experts once famously used the word...

Herman Goering was the most popular figure in Nazi Germany. He was second only to Hitler in his importance. He was Hitler's Deputy and official successor, erector of the Nazi air force, and the super economy minister. It is amazing that there isn't any book dedicated to his part in the annihilation of the European Jewish People. As chairman of the Reichstag he signed the 'Nuremberg Lows'. As 'general inspector on the matters of Jews in the Reich', he was the person who wrote the order of the final solution and the chain of orders that lead to it. He transformed the Gestapo to a major dictatorship enforcment tool; He was the leader in exploiting forced labor, assets robbery and more. The...

It would only be an understatement and repetition to state that movies or concerts are the greatest stress busters. A formula that like Harry Porters blockbusters never fail. Why only in pepping up people, they are also a sure short remedy for such afflictions like headaches. Several people have experienced the magical effect of music on a suffering head. Sure enough it squeezes the pain out of ones system and replaces it with freshness that only a man who is suffering from such menace as headache would value. Similar thing can be said about movies which have the power to carry people along with it and till the time lights are not switched on one is away with Brad Pitt or Sylvester Stallone doing...

The Spitfire was a single-seat fighter plane manufactured by Supermarine, and designed by R.J. Mitchell. Mitchell continued to make modifications to the plane until his death in 1937.The Spitfire made its combat debut came on October 16, 1939. It was used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II and gained immortal fame during the summer months of 1940 by helping to defeat the German air attacks during the Battle of Britain. The Spitfire and Mitchell are often credited with winning the Battle of Britain.A favorite of its pilots, the Spitfire saw service during the all of World War II, in all theatres of the war, and in many different variants. There were 24 marks and many sub-variants for...

Airplane travel today has become a Darwinian exercise, where only those of Olympic fitness will survive. Frankly, given the psychological and physical fortitude required, I'm amazed that anybody will agree to fly anywhere anymore. Indignities abound, including the strip poker antics in the airport security line. First you lose your shoes, then your belt, then your hat, if you dared to wear one. You tirelessly whip out photo ID to officious TSA agents stationed every five feet all the way to the boarding gate, careful to refrain from making jokes about hidden bombs, even if the jokes are exceedingly clever. These are heavy sacrifices indeed.Yet the most fatiguing thing of all is that direct flights...

Background:Southwest Airlines is the largest airline measured by number of passengers carried each year within the United States. It is also known as a 'discount airline' compared with its large rivals in the industry. Rollin King and Herb Kelleher founded Southwest Airlines on June 18, 1971. Its first flights were from Love Field in Dallas to Houston and San Antonio, short hops with no-frills service and a simple fare structure. The airline began with one simple strategy: "If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly your airline." This approach has been the key...

Going through the history of International relations in the post- cold war era, you can observe several political crises originating from the military and clandestine operations of the United States. This overflow of international crises dealing with America's operations are better defined as" US interventions". This concept of intervention is a well- known term in the political history of the world, especially during the 90s in the United States, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton's presidency. Not a single country has ever meddled with international affairs irrelevant to its country than the United States, However, in some periods Soviet Union was playing US exceptional current role in the world...

The market for small arms and light weapons has completely overlapped the cocaine market. Purchases for arms are no longer made with cash but with cocaine, and the same routes used to smuggle cocaine out of South America are used to smuggle guns in. Actors far and wide rush to meet the weapons demand created by continued conflict in Colombia.What used to be two separate cash-for-product markets has blended into one nearly perfect market.Due to the conflict in Colombia, perfect elasticity of demand exists for anyone who can smuggle guns into Colombia. And the market there will absorb any and all weapons at the going rate, which in this case is measured not in cash but kilos of pure cocaine for one...

As should have been expected, after spreading so much methodical bloodshed all over the world, bloodshed returned to the United States mainland on September 11, 2001. The death toll was about 3,000, only 0.1% of the 3,000,000 Vietnamese killed by US aggression. The number of casualties from the attacks on September 11th was also much lower than the over 30,000 children who died from starvation and easily curable diseases on that exact same day. For those who only value American lives, keep in mind that over 7,500 Americans suffered cigarette-related deaths that same week. (Yet Philip Morris has never been the target of US bombing raids.)This is not to devalue the American lives lost on September...

Last month, I sat down with a group of friends to watch the latest pay-per-view Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event. The host of the party was a major fan, and he laid out a nice spread for us with plenty of food and cold beer. The fights started and all seemed to be going well until my host started acting as if he knew something about fighting. Oh, he knew plenty about the UFC athletes, but not much about an actual street fight. For him, the be-all-end-all was Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). He raved about how the Gracie family had invented the sport and how their fighting style dominated anything else out there. I tried to keep quite, but you can only listen to someone spout the wrong...

In the early to mid 1960s, Milton Bradley came out with some interesting games all marketed under the label of American Heritage games. These were all war based games and at the time were very popular. Unfortunately, they drifted off into obscurity and are now some of the rarest games around if you can even find one. Collectors are getting a mint for some of these.The series started in 1961 with the Civil War Edition. This game was a very scaled down Civil War battle game. Each side had only 22 pieces consisting of 10 Infantry, 10 Calvary and 2 Artillery pieces. In order to do combat with an enemy piece you had to line up your piece adjoining it in some way, either side to side or facing the...

Flight simulation refers to the very lifelike imitation of the actual flying experience. It has a highly vital and totally indispensable role to play in the military as well as in commercial flying, wherein landscapes and airplane control panels are simulated so that pilots are able to practice operating an airplane in flight. The students can learn basic maneuvering, cockpit control, and navigation while still grounded. However, it is not used as much to teach pilots to fly the aircraft than to accustom them to potential problem situations and the way out of trouble. In this regard, hazardous weather conditions, unfriendly landing terrain and other emergency situations are simulated to acquaint...
