Objective: Inspired by full-scale aerobatics, we strive to fly scale aerobatic model aircraft in a competitive and realistic manner that is challenging for the contestants as well as interesting for spectators. 2. General: All AMA regulations and FCC regulations covering the RC flier, airplane and equipment, shall be applicable to this event. 2.1: Consideration of safety for spectators, contest personnel, and other contestants is of the utmost importance in this event. Any unsportsmanlike conduct or hazardous flying over a controlled spectator area will be cause for immediate disqualification of that flight. Further infractions will result in the removal of that pilot from the contest. 3. Open Events: 3.1: The events accommodate aerobatic monoplanes and biplanes which are replicas of types known to have competed in International Aerobatic Club (IAC) competition, or replicas of types known to be capable of aerobatic competition within the airspace known as the “Box.” 3.2: All classes except Basic require that the pilot must meet the requirements defined in Rule 3.1. The Basic Class is open to all competitors with a monoplane or biplane aircraft. There is no minimum size requirement for any class. Contest Directors may make an exception for a model of a full scale aircraft that was built for IAC competition, but has not yet competed.

The discipline has its roots in several ancient civilizations. During the early modern period, scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, and especially Newton, laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. Key Points: 1. Classical versus quantum The major division of the mechanics discipline separates classical mechanics from quantum mechanics. Historically, classical mechanics came first, while quantum mechanics is a comparatively recent invention. Classical mechanics originated with Isaac Newton's Laws of motion in Principia Mathematica, while quantum mechanics didn't appear until 1900. Both are commonly held to constitute the most certain knowledge that exists about physical nature. Classical mechanics has especially often been viewed as a model for other so-called exact sciences. Essential in this respect is the relentless use of mathematics in theories, as well as the decisive role played by experiment in generating and testing them.

This document is a set of rules and guidelines to ensure safe Tailwheel and Aerobatic operations in the Great Lakes. You are required to follow these rules to remain a part of the Great Lakes community and Plus One Flyers itself. We look forward to getting to know you while you enjoy hours of fun flying these amazing airplanes! Dual Flights All Plus One pilots are invited to enjoy the Great Lakes with one of our approved, highly-qualified instructors. While this document is geared towards those wishing to solo the airplane, all pilots should read these guidelines. You are expected to know and follow them even on dual flights. Your instructor will review them with you. Airmanship Before you solo, you must demonstrate professional airmanship. The Great Lakes is not tolerant of careless pilots. Errors such as forgetting a GUMPS-B check before landing, incorrect stick position during ground ops, failure to constantly S-turn while taxiing, distractions during taxi or flight, low-level aerobatics, “showing off”, an egotistical attitude, and similar behavior will disqualify you from solo and may result in club membership action, including expulsion from Plus One.

It was produced in Romania from 1977 to 1998 by Aerostar, as Iak-52, which gained manufacturing rights under agreement within the former COMECON socialist trade organisation. The Yak-52 was designed as 52 - an aerobatic trainer for students in the Soviet DOSAAF training organisation, which trained civilian sport pilots and military pilots. Currently the Yak-52 is used in the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Aerobatic Yak 52 Competition, a popular powered aircraft single-design World Aerobatic Championship. YAK A descendant of the single-seat competition aerobatic Yakovlev Yak-50, the all-metal Yak-52 is Yak-52 at 2007 Wings over Wairarapa Airshow powered by a 268 kW (360 hp) Vedeneyev M14P nine-cylinder radial engine. Since the aircraft was Photograph by Dean S. Pemberton designed to serve as a military trainer, the development of the aircraft incorporates a number of features to be found on the early postwar fighters: notably the cockpit tandem layout (instrument panel, seat design, cockpit opening system), tail design, tricycle landing gear, inner flaps, controls position, access panels on sides of the fuselage, even the location of the radio antenna and overall dimensions of the airplane.

In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning.

  • On the Early History of Spinning and Spin Research in the UK Part 2.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2015/03 On the Early History of Spinning and Spin Research in the UK Part 2 : The period 1930 - 1940 B J Brinkworth Waterlooville, Hants, UK Abstract In Part 1 (Journal of Aeronautical History, Paper 2014/03) a continuous thread of experience and research since WW1 was traced, which had provided a growing understanding of the propensity of an aircraft to spin and a standard procedure that gave the pilot a good chance of being able to recover if one developed. The 1930s were a period of rapid change in air defence policy and technology, leading to the emergence of the monoplane as the preferred configurat- ion for fighters. During this time there was an expansion of work on spinning, with particular reference to progression to the fast flat spin, from which recovery was usually impossible. A major step forward came with the opening of the RAE vertical Free Spinning Tunnel. Systematic investigations of spinning behaviour could now be made with models that were correctly scaled dynamically. From the results of these and the growing body of tests at full scale, a procedure was devised that distinguished between physical characteristics of aircraft that could be recovered from a spin and of those that could not. Although empirical, this was firmly founded in theory, as the work had been from the beginning. This procedure allowed designers to include for the first time routine checks at all stages of the design to estimate the likelihood that a new type could be recovered from a spin. The procedure would be refined and become standardised in later work, but the stage reached around the beginning of WW2 marks a distinctive end-point for the early part of the history of spinning in the UK.
