Books In Sync Congratulates J. A. Hunsinger - March 2010 Author Of The Month

Historical Literary Fiction Author Writes Axe of Iron Series by J. A. Hunsinger

Just Released: Confrontation – Second Book In The Axe of Iron Series

In Confrontation, two calamitous events occur that pave the way for the hostile beginnings of an assimilation process between the Greenland Norse settlers and the natives of Vinland. The first mixing of cultures occurs when a woman of the Northmen, Thora, and Deskaheh the Haudenosaunee, marry. This union, accepted enthusiastically by the Northmen, opens a window into the native mind.

For all the people of this land the way is rocky and fraught with danger at every turn, but the acceptance and friendship that develops between the Northmen and the Naskapi, another native tribe, over an affair of honor, the eventual acceptance of a young boy of the Northmen by his Haudenosaunee captors, and a scenario that seems ordained by the will of the gods, makes it all begin to fall into place, as it must for the Northmen to survive.

Will this developing relationship allow the Northmen to remain in the homeland of the Naskapi, or are they doomed to failure?

The settlers must deal with that question on a daily basis. Standing in their way are uncounted numbers of indigenous peoples, the pre-historical ancestors of the contemporary Cree (Naskapi), Ojibwa (Anishinabeg), and Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Indians. From the outset, the warriors of these various tribes violently resisted the incursion of the tall, pale-skinned invaders. The overwhelming numbers of the native peoples in Vinland hold the fate of the Northmen in their hands. The success or failure of the settlement at Halfdansfjord hangs in the balance.

Flying Wing Airplane
Flying Wing Airplane

Megatech Avion Airplane

I just bought this plane on sale from kjreviews. It is a joy to fly and is extremeley manuverable. Other than this plane i have only flown an air hogs havoc and a havoc cyclone. The controls on this plain are simple, intuitive and produce clean reactions from the plain. if you have never flown a radio controlled vehicle, this will take some getting used to. The plane looks rather flimsy, but it has survived many crashes by me. hopefully it won't break in the future. The only downside to this plane is the lack of elavator controls, but that isn't a surpise for a product in this price range. A great plane for fliers of all ages and skill levels.  I also ran two toothpicks through the two front wings and glued them in place to stabilize the wings. THIS WAS SUPER FUN!!!!!!! Since then i have crash a million times, and whenever a piece looks like its going to give, i work around it. After all these stupid modifications, the plane works flawlessly and has provided endless hours of indoor fun.  The battery life is excellent. 10 minutes of flight time consistently. You do have to be extremely careful flying it and land it carefully in a soft spot. It does not take off on its own and must be gently hand launched. If you are good enough, when the battery does start to go you can fly it back to yourself slowly and catch it avoiding crash landing it.

Featuring an ultra-advanced design, Megatech's AVION plane is the most impressive, easiest-to-fly model airplane to ever hit your living room. Boasting a tight three-foot turning radius, this indoor aerobot is a high-performance plane that is precision-controlled and maneuverable in even the tightest of spaces. Ready to fly right out of the box. Requires 4 "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 3" x 8" x 8.5".

About the Author

Kevin Jordan

I have a recurring dream that I am flying (just me, no wings and not in an airplane). What does that mean?

In these dreams it is always night, I am always embarrassed and I never want people to see me. I know it is not right, and I even feel like it is evil. I have had this dream many times with different circumstances, but they seem to be getting more intense and always feel so real! Different than other dreams, I always remember these and think about them. Does anyone know what it might mean, or where I can find out?

The most common answer to Flying in a dream that I have ever encountered, is that you desire freedom from something in your life.

It may be that you feel trapped in a job, or at home, or in a relationship. In any case, most dream interpretations I have read say that flying, without wings or the aid of a mechanical device, usually indicates the desire for freedom.

It is 2345EST and I need to laugh,what is the funniest line (intended or not) spoken in an aviation film?

Well, pilots, what have you seen spoken by actors in aviation movies that made you want to stand up and scream/laugh etc.
Or, even better, the comment was so far off from what they SHOULD have said, that you wanted to visit the writers and beat them about the cranial area, continuously, until they promised never to write for an aviation film again

Independence Day is a gem. It has the F/A-18 with the tail chute!

When they were explaining the launch of the Nuclear weapon from the alien craft Steve (Will Smith) remarks "It's just like the AMRAAM launch pad on a Stealth"

That was the first time I heard anyone say that either the B-2 or the F-117 carried AMRAAMs!

I have always loved flying! I really started thinking about airplanes when I was in high school, but didn't get to make my dream come true till I was in my 20s. My first plane was a L2 Taylorcraft, and then came a 1940 Taylorcraft, which I wish I still owned. The company I worked for had a flying club, in this flying club we got to fly a Cessna 150, Cessna 172, and later a Cessna 182.

About six years ago I started hearing about the Sport Pilot Endorsements may be coming into rule and realized that this could later affect me. I was not getting any younger. I checked the ruling and also started checking around for an airplane that would fit the rules. The Sport Pilot rule will allow me to fly a Taylorcraft and continue my love of flying. I wanted an airplane project to rebuild (I love rebuilding) and so the Taylorcraft was perfect for me. I have purchased a 1945 BC-12 Taylorcraft that had been damaged on landing. I will be doing a complete restoration on it. My first project was restoring from scratch a 1950 Mooney Mite. This project took me a few years and hours of work, but was also fun.

Pilots who hold a recreational certificate or better, but whose standard or special issuance medical certificate has lapsed, will be able to fly under sport pilot rules with a driver's license and with a self-certification that they are medically fit to fly. Pilots whose medical has been revoked, suspended, or denied will need further review by the FAA and could be required to obtain a special issuance. The Federal Aviation Administration sport pilot medical question and answer page is a good place to go for answers. Pilots who hold a valid driver's license and whose medical has not been suspended or revoked will be able to fly many familiar certificated airplanes, including Piper J-2, J-3 Cubs and my favorite because I learned to fly in the Taylorcraft, (they have always been special to me).

The rule also creates a new class of light sport aircraft that will include both kit airplanes and yet-to-be-certified models. The FAA estimates that light sport aircraft should be less expensive than many models now available, and that lower cost will come lower operating and maintenance expenses.

Learning to fly will be more affordable requiring a minimum of 20 hours of flight time to earn a sport pilot certificate, which is a significant savings over the average time of nearly 70 hours to earn a private pilot certificate. Sport Pilot certification brochure. I hope this information on why I purchased a Taylorcraft and the above links to the FAA will bring you the enjoyment of knowing you can still fly. Today Sport Pilot will allow you to fly even though you may have a medical problem or are getting older. To view some of the airplanes I have either flown or restored go to Jerrys Hangar page.

My name is Jerry Bishop and I am a private pilot and have owned and restored several vintage aircraft. I have been an aviation instrument designer for 45 years (gyros, vacuum pumps, and engine instruments). Take a moment visit Pilot One http://www.pilotone.com and go to Jerrys Hanger with stories, photos and information for the pilot. I love visiting about airplanes.

A Cessna 150 aircraft has a lift-off speed of....?

A Cessna 150 aircraft has a lift-off speed of
approximately 125 km/h.
What minimum constant acceleration does
this require if the aircraft is to be airborne
after a take-off run of 378 m?
Answer in units of m/s2.
What is the corresponding take-off time? (in seconds)

and

If the aircraft continues to accelerate at this
rate, what speed will it reach 21.4 s after it
begins to roll?
Answer in units of m/s.

When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is the average of the initial and final velocities.

Vavg = (125 + 0) / 2
= 62.5

D = Vavg * t
378 = 62.5 * t
6.048 = t

acceleration = (Vf - Vi) / t
= (125 - 0) / t
= 20.67 m/s^2

V(t) = a * t + Vi
V(21.4) = 20.67 * 21.4 + 0
= 442 m/s

Sailplane Glider
Sailplane Glider

Perhaps this isn't the most important soaring article ever written, however it should prove to be an interesting little read! Join me as I recollect some memorable aerial encounters during my years of soaring flight. A few things here to raise the eyebrows of pilot and non-pilot alike.

Rough Encounter With A Thermal Core

Soaring pilots of all types are familiar with 'thermals', those columns or sometimes bubbles of rising air that are warmer than the surrounding air. In central Australia, where I learnt to fly in the 70's, the summer thermals were often very strong. The thermal core, just a few meters across, would sometimes suck dust from the ground up to high altitudes.

Anyway, I was on a training flight with my instructor and we spotted some tell-tale dust some distance away. We lost no time in flying towards and then entering that thermal. What happened next took us by surprise, as we flew directly through the core. WHAM! The old Blanik L13 bucked skywards. A split second later, the huge upwards acceleration stopped, and every bit of dust and debris in the cockpit hit the top of the perspex canopy and then rained down on us again. We just grinned! Needless to say, it turned out to be a great thermal!

Magical Encounter With A Cumulus Rim

This next encounter is commonplace for many many soaring pilots, but it's a magical moment the first time you experience it. Again flying the Blanik L13, but solo on this occasion. It was a good soaring day, and I remember looking upwards as I spiraled up under a large cumulus cloud.

Maintaining the climb for as long as I dared, the great gray cavern got bigger and bigger overhead. I noticed the horizon had disappeared, in all directions. The air was deliciously cool. Here I was in the slightly concave underbelly of a healthily growing cumulous cloud. A whisp of grey shot past me to my right. Mmm, flying through scraps of cloud now, better get out of here, and fast. I pushed the nose way down, accelerating the Blanik up to a noisy 80 knots (150 kph) or so, before punching out into the brilliant sunshine that lay beyond the rim.

Very Close Encounter With A Lunch Bag

To be precise, a small brown paper bag. I just decided it would be fun to attempt to hit a small object in midair. A sort of flying accuracy test! With 1000 meters (3000 feet) or so in hand, out went my empty lunch bag, through the clear vision panel of the canopy. Then, I flew straight for a while to put some distance between the Bocian 2-seater I was flying and the bag.

By now, the bag was gently floating down through the air, losing altitude at a similar rate to the glider. Heaving the old Bocian onto one wing tip, I wheeled around tightly, turning back to look for the bag. It wasn't hard to spot. As it got closer, I had to make some very quick last-second adjustments on the controls to get close to the bag. Missed the first time. But after a few tries, FWOPPP there it was, pinned across the open air-vent flap! It really made my day. After landing, the bag was still jammed in the vent, and there's a photo to prove it...

First Encounter With A Hang Glider

At several thousand feet, I spotted a hang glider thermalling upwards several kilometers away. Naturally, I went over to join him, but curiosity was compelling me just as much as the prospect of a climb! Sliding under the hang-glider, maybe 300 feet below it, I then spent too much time trying to gawk at it and not enough time concentrating on my own climb in the thermal.

Seeing he was out-climbing me, I left the thermal after a few minutes to avoid further embarrassment, hehe. But it was an interesting experience, watching such a minimal aircraft in flight. I could clearly see the pilot enthusiastically shifting his weight around, guiding the craft into the strongest regions of lift.

First Encounter With A Hawk

The first air-to-air encounter with a soaring bird is another rather special experience for a soaring pilot. For me, it happened during a ridge-soaring flight on the small range of hills near Locheil, in South Australia. Heading towards the southern end of the range, I noticed a large bird, also doing a spot of ridge-soaring. On having a closer look it turned out to be an average-sized hawk of some kind.

Determined to get an even closer look, I turned away from the ridge and approached the bird from behind, flying as slowly as safely possible. Wings outstretched, the hawk appeared almost motionless as it flew directly into the light westerly breeze. As my glider drew alongside, the creature twisted its neck to get a good look at me too. Two beady hawk eyes summed up the giant white bird which dared to share it's territory, for just a moment. My flying speed was far greater than the hawk's, so I soon left it behind. I never saw it again, but the memory certainly lingered!

Conclusion

Hope you enjoyed my little collection of soaring encounters! These are just a tiny sample of the unique experiences to be had as a soaring pilot, whether that be in a paraglider, hang-glider or sailplane. Check out some of my other articles to find out more about those other soaring sports.

Tim Parish is a motorless flight enthusiast, the webmaster of Paragliding Tales and Reviews, a site which will introduce you to many aspects of paragliding, with a sprinkling of humor. Tim has had the pleasure of soaring in sailplanes, hang-gliders and paragliders in the past, both real and simulated. His enthusiasm for these activities is evident in his writing, which he hopes will inspire others.

What's the name of this sailplane with engine?

Today I saw what at first I thought was a sailplane heading in to a small airport. It had the wide wingspan, slim fuselage and slow speed of a glider. The tail was T-shaped and it had tricycle landing gear. Then I noticed it had a propeller on the nose. What's the name of this fascinating light aircraft?

Sounds like the DIAMOND HK36 Here is a shot of it and the information.

If that is what you saw. T-Tail long wings, thin fuselage etc.

Add - Called the Katana in the US and Canada
