Radio Control Scale Aerobatics
Competition Regulations 2013-2014 Rules Governing Model Aviation Competition in the United States Radio Control Scale Aerobatics Amendment Listing Original Issue 1/1/2013 Publication of Competition Regulations Judges Guide 1/2/2013 Clarifications SCA-1 RADIO CONTROL SCALE AEROBATICS SECTION I: GENERAL PRINCIPLES 1. 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. -

On average there are over 250 civil flying displays Guidance for display each year attracting in excess of two million pilots spectators. It is of the utmost importance in the interests of public and personal safety, that those Managing the risk who participate in such displays operate to the highest standards. These notes are intended to Planning your provide advice to display pilots to help them display avoid the pitfalls which have been experienced in the past. Practising for your display The air show Display day Post display © Andrew Critchell 1 the law The rules governing the conduct of civil air displays in the United Kingdom are given in the current Air Navigation Order, The Rules of the Air Regulations and comprehensively explained in CAP 403 – “Flying Displays and Special Events: A Guide to Safety and Administrative Arrangements”. guidance for display pilots Display flying, especially aerobatics, is a specialised form of flying that frequently involves flying the aircraft close to the edges of the permitted flight envelope. Regrettably, most years, a small number of pilots are killed whilst displaying. Many of these pilots were highly experienced and extremely competent in their particular aircraft and display. What can be done to minimise the risk? managing the risk personnel fitness There are a large number of factors which affect the outcome of a particular flight. Many of them are encountered well before the pilot gets anywhere near the aircraft. -
Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4
Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4 This is an English summary of Jochen Reuter's paper, published on the SAGA-website www.sagach.ch I could not resist adding a few hints of my own, where I saw it appropriate. But overall, it is still Jochen's text. And I was too lazy to convert any units of measurement from metric to English. If you prefer to go by knots and pounds etc. you will have to juggle the units yourself. General Remarks Any pilot, who is new to the B4 will notice that it is a "noisy" glider. The "blonk-blonk" of the skin panels can upset a novice, but after a few flights you get used to it and before long you'll ignore it. Jochen's B4 came from the UK and a previous owner had apparently tried to turn it into a high-performance machine. All the skin joints and rivet heads had been covered and smoothed. But if you intend to do aerobatics, this is not a good idea at all. Apart from the additional weight and lots of useless work, the putty becomes brittle with time and when the structure is flexing, will crack and eventually peel off. Talking about C of G: Jochen is very tall and weighs around 100 kg. So he flies at the load limit and also the forward CG limit. Earlier, he used to fly with the small tail ballast weight (2.3 kg), mainly to facilitate spinning, but now he recommends even for heavy pilots not to. In his opinion, the B4 handles better with a forward CG. -
Dogfight History
Dogfight A dogfight or dog fight is a common term used to describe close-range aerial combat between military aircraft. The term originated during World War I, and probably derives from the preferred fighter tactic of positioning one's aircraft behind the enemy aircraft. From this position, a pilot could fire his guns on the enemy without having to lead the target, and the enemy aircraft could not effectively fire back. The term came into existence because two women fighting is called a catfight, and all early fighter pilots were men, hence dogfight. This subsequently obtained its revised folk etymology about two dogs chasing each other's tails.[citation needed] Modern terminology for aerial combat between aircraft is air-to-air combat and air combat maneuvering, or ACM. F-22 Raptors over Utah in their first official deployment, Oct. 2005, simulating a dogfight. History World War I Dogfighting emerged in World War I. Aircraft were initially used as mobile observation vehicles and early pilots gave little thought to aerial combat—enemy pilots at first simply exchanged waves. Intrepid pilots decided to interfere with enemy reconnaissance by improvised means, including throwing bricks, grenades and sometimes rope, which they hoped would entangle the enemy plane's propeller. This progressed to pilots firing hand-held guns at enemy planes. Once machine guns were mounted to the plane, either in a turret or higher on the wings of early biplanes, the era of air combat began. The Germans acquired an early air superiority due to the invention of synchronization gear in 1915. During the first part of the war there was no established tactical doctrine for air-to-air combat. -

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.
