ive want ed to fly airplanes for a long time (im 12) now and was considering the airline buisness, but, since the price of gas and everything else has gone up than might not be a good idea??i dont want a military job…….please give a detailed answer. THAX
I’m wondering what the helicopter is and what it’s affiliated to…since it’s been flying around my house occasionally…
I live in the Los Angeles county area if this helps…
An airplane is flying horizontally at 200 m/s, and it drops a care package to some people on the ground below. If the package takes 5 seconds to hit the ground, how high above the ground is the planeflying? Also what is the speed of the package when it hits the ground?
Here is a brief video on how to taxi and some tips on taxiing model airplanes. Visits www.kevinkingrc.com for more flying lessons!!! (Sorry the sound is kinda off on this one.)
Helix is shown flying in my garage and being landed in my hand for size comparison and maneuverability for a friend of mine who wanted to see a movie of it. (There’s 2 parts to this video, so watch it all) Too bad about the battery/fire issue. lipos require a special handling and charging that I am familiar with. I am sure other products with lipos are going to get the same kinds of feedback. Be that as it may, lipo batteries are amazing since their advent for us modelers. The manual that came with the Helix has full size warnings and 4 pages about the Lipos too. More than adequate, but sh*t happens, eh? It was just a fluke that I had my tiny Aiptec camera there and shot this video. Sorry there is no wide angle lens. It would have been easier to keep the heli in the picture too. Wanna see how it works?? See this link: www.youtube.com
This is a video from May 31, 2009. I flew a Cessna 172 from Sussex NJ (FWN) to Blairstown NJ (1N7). The morning was already a bit rough but by no means unbearable. Later on during the day convective turbulence was picking up due to strong instability coming in from the north and driving thermals. My brother preflighted and flew a Schweizer 2-33 with his instructor. When he got back we took a flight to Stroudsberg, PA and returned to Blairstown. Finally we took a return flight to Sussex which was very rough but ended well with a good landing.
I am have been trying to think of ways that I can pay for flying lessons.I have been paying for them for a while and am starting to run out of money. I am pretty occupied with school and sports (I’m in high school) during the weekdays, so it would kind of be hard for me to get a job to pay for them, so I would love to hear how you paid for your lessons and of scholarships/loan programs you know of.
I also intend to pursue a career in the aviation field.
