Glider Airplane

The Federal Aviation Administration has strict requirements for obtaining a private pilot license. You must be at least 17 years old unless you want your license to be restricted to free balloons and gliders. In that case, you can get one a year earlier. You must also have at least a current third-class medical certificate with a less restrictive requirement for the free balloon and glider pilots. You can get your medical certificate for a FAA-authorized aviation medical examiner. The FAA directory lists about 6000 examiners around the country.

You should get your medical certificate before you take any lessons. Just imagine your disappointment if you were to go through flight school only to discover that you have a medical condition which will prevent you from piloting an aircraft. Not to mention the cost involved in getting a private pilot license. If you are reading this article in its original form, you probably already meet the next requirement. You must be able to read, speak and understand the English language. Around the world English is used at airports and by control towers.

Finally there are a few flying related requirements. You have to pass the FAA private pilot airmen knowledge written test. Ground school will prepare you for that in addition to many other tools available such as books, practice test software, and videos. To get your private pilot license you have to log at least 40 hours of flight which must include at least 20 hours of flight with an FAA-authorized instructor and 10 hours of solo flight. If you expect to be certified for night flying, you have to log a minimum of three hours at night with a flight instructor which have to include at least 10 takeoffs and landings.

Why doesn't my paper airplane idea work?

Basically I made two airplanes, a dart airplane that was made of a full sheet of normal paper, and a glider airplane made of half a sheet of paper. I figured I could put the glider on the dart, then the dart would fly for some distance, and when it dropped, the glider would lift off and keep on flying.

They are two separate units, whether you start them off together or not, and if you give the initial impulse to the dart, then there is nothing to transmit the impulse to the glider, if they are not physically fixed together. Then the airflow over the dart simply lifts the glider off the dart, and glider falls to the ground because it did not receive any forward impulse.

How to make a really good paper airplane 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.

Wooden Porch Swings

Wooden porch swings are for fun and relaxation and even though it is still winter, it is time to start thinking about them. Our wooden porch swings will be hanging on our front porches sooner than we think. When I was growing up I can remember visiting an uncle on the east coast who had a wonderful wooden porch swing. Today a hanging wooden swing on a front porch is a rare thing to see. Most new homes do not have front porches.

There are some realtors today think that having a wooden front porch swing is a valuable asset to selling your house. They bring across a feeling of fun and relaxation. Have you ever noticed how much fun people are having while sitting on porch swing? Even though most houses today do not have front porches, people would buy free standing swings and place them in their front yards. It does look like things are starting to change a little; many builders of new houses have started putting front porches back on the houses. I think we will start seeing more and more families using wooden front porch swings as a way of having more family time. The hanging type of swing, as you know, will need a sturdy front porch roof to secure the screws and chains for the swing.  

Front porch swings have a way of being very cozy and they create an atmosphere of relaxation. They are comfortable place for reading the morning newspaper and having a cup of coffee or two to start the day. They are a pleasant place to listen to the rain on a balmy wet day. They are also a good way to visit with your neighbors on a warm spring day or a cool summer evening. On a lazy summer afternoon porch swings are romantic while swinging with a loved one. It is fun to add cushions to them and relax and gaze at the stars in the evening.  

It is important to think about a few things before purchasing a wooden porch swing. Is it going to be hanging on a front porch or sitting in a garden? If you are going to purchase a hanging wooden porch swing you are going to need the proper hardware such as screws, and/or ropes and chains for hanging. A wooden porch swing does not mean it has to hang from a front porch roof; it can be a free standing model for a garden, a deck, or patio. You also need to decide if you are going to use cushions for your swing and what type of wood you prefer.

There are a number of wood types that are used for wooden porch swings and they are wicker, cypress, pine, cedar, teak and alder. Wicker porch swings are charming and old world and can easily be painted. Cypress porch swings hold paint longer that other woods; alder porch swings are also easy to paint. Both cypress and alder are very durable woods for swings. Cedar porch swings are very popular because it has the ability to withstand the weather and the natural oils it has helps prevent decay. Their color starts out as reddish brown and it will become silver gray as it ages.

Pine porch swings are very popular but because they are a soft and delicate wood they will need staining regularly. Pine also resists the insects, weather, and decay. Teak porch swings is probably the most popular wood and it has an aroma that is similar to rosewood. Teak also has natural oils that repel water very well. It does not need to be treated but you can stain it or seal it if so desired. This wood also will not rot. If teak can withstand being put on ocean going vessels it will certainly hold up quite well on your front porch or in your garden.

Also available for purchase are wooden porch swings that are free standing and porch glider swings. These swings do not need to be attached to a roof ceiling, patio cover, or tree limb. Some of the free standing wooden porch swings come with a roof already attached to it, and some glider swings have wooden floors attached. If you purchase a hanging wooden porch swing installation is very easy. You and a friend could have it installed in an hour or so. Your main concern is purchasing the wooden porch swing that suites your needs best.

What is the best model glider available?

Hi CW O'M.

Best for what?

There are so many different forms of model sailplanes, that there is no single 'Best'. You have to help us with what your requirements are.

Freeflight handlaunch or radio control?
Slope? Discus Launch? Thermal Duration?

The best sailplanes are usually composites rather than balsa, although some 'Woody' competitions require balsa construction. Is this a requirement of yours?

I have been flying RC sailplanes for 29 years, and free flight before that. Look at my avatar. I am holding a balsa sailplane with a wingspan over 12'. I have many carbon fiber/kevlar models as well. I would love to help you more with your question, but without a better understanding of your intent, this overview is the best I can do.

Use the 'Additional Info' feature to add to your question, and tell us more about what you are trying to do.

Have fun!

Glider Wood

Outdoor Furniture and Glider

Adirondack chairs are the most essential member in the family of outside furniture and gliders. The quality of wood utilised in making or at the time of purchase of Adirondack chairs is the most important factor that one should always keep in mind. The best quality of wood to utilise in manufacturing of these chairs is teakwood and it will wear tremendously well. Teakwood is ineffective to rain, sun, snow or frost. Thus, one can keep an Adirondack chair outside your home thought out without any fear. Though your furniture may get spoil, as any other furniture can, but one will get advantage of long-standing loyalty and sturdiness. Teak furniture is mostly utilised furniture that one can have in their lawn because of its great comfort and unique elegance.

Adirondack furniture comes in many designs and styles. Therefore, one needs to choose best furniture which suits your need. You can also buy an this type of furniture set including chairs and a table that will be more economical than buying separately. As far as coloured gliders are concerned, one can have a painted metal surface to balance your garden. You will love your furniture when you will choose the best for your house. Proper space should be available for your furniture, this is most essential thing to be considered.  One can place it anywhere in the house; it will create a luxurious feeling.

You should always cautiously scrutinise the portions of tightly woven canning. Canning without spaces is considered more appropriate. Check that there should be no cracking, splitting or any other defect in the bottom legs of Adirondack chair. Comfort is the important factor that one should consider while purchasing these chairs. One should check properly whether it provides proper relaxation to your body or not.  

Mostly gliders are available with the choice of 2 or 3 people seat. Determine which suits you best by examining your need and comfort level.  The beautiful craftsmanship, the classic design and the traditional look of the teak furniture make it appropriate for nearly any location. Purchasing Adirondack furniture is an excellent investment.

How do you adjust a glider rocker to keep it from scraping the wood when you rock. Not smooth rock motion???

I just bought this glider used and didn't realize till I got it home that the glider is scraping the wood base when it rocks. It is scratching the wood and not rocking smoothly. Is there any way to adjust this so that it doesn't scrape and scratch up the wood on the base? It is a Dutailer glider which is a good brand...hope it can be fixed. Thanks

If you just bought it call the store and tell them to come out there and fix it. These are shipped to the retailer broken down to conserve space on the truck, and assembled by the retailer, so my guess is that a nylon bushing is missing from between two parts, causing the rub.

Build Working Model Airplane The Definitive Guide

You have not lived until you build a working model airplane to fly around the sky indulging in your greatest passion of model airplanes.

I had a few planes myself but never really felt the same about them after I built my own, it was a proud day to say that I can build model airplanes! And the greatest thing was the fact that I could do it so much more cheaper than I would have paid in the hobby store.

Here is my plane in action..

I used a guide to teach me tips and secrets that I needed to know to build and complete my very own aircraft. Before reading this guide I thought that building my own plane would take years, and cost an arm and a leg.

In fact my first model aircraft took me under a month to build, and cost me a fraction of my other hobby aircraft's. And best of all is to see it fly like an eagle.
