There was a very short spell of activity in 1922-23 which terminated in the birth of the light aeroplane as we know it to-day. From then until 1930 no progress was made here ; in fact, little interest was shown, except by a few, in the remarkable advances that were being made in Germany under the energetic direction of the Rhon-Rossitten Gesellschaft (the German Gliding Association) assisted by the Government of the Reich and municipal and other bodies. In 1930 a few enthusiasts showed their faith in the future possibilities of motorless flying by founding the British Gliding Association. From the outset they realized that the only method of getting the movement on its feet would be by arranging for a series of practical demonstrations by a sailplane pilot with an international reputation. The pilot kindly lent for this purpose by the Rhon-Rossitten- Gesellschaft was the author of this book and we are indebted to him for the splendid demonstrations that he gave in 1930 and 1931 of the practical uses of a sailplane for scientific and sporting purposes. The machine on which these demonstrations were given was the famous " Wien " a gift to Herr Kronfeld from the citizens of his native town.

  • Artist's Proposal
    Gabbert Artist’s Proposal 14th Street Roundabout Page 434 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for this opportunity. For your consideration I propose a work tentatively titled “Flame”. I believe it to be simple-yet- compelling, symbolic, and appropriate to this setting. Dimensions will be 20 feet high by 14.5 feet wide by 14.5 feet deep. It sits on a 3.5 feet high by 9 feet in diameter base. (not accurately dimensioned in the 3D graphics) The composition. The design has substance, and yet, there is practically no impediment to drivers’ visibility. After review of the design by a structural engineer the flame flicks may need to be pierced with openings to meet the 150 mph wind velocity requirement. I see no problem in adjusting the design to accommodate any change like this. Fire can represent our passions, zeal, creativity, and motivation. The “flame” can suggest the light held by the Statue of Liberty, the fire from Prometheus, the spirit of the city, and the hearth-fire of 612.207.8895 | jgsculpture.webs.com | [email protected] 14th Street Roundabout Page 435 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor home. It would be lit at night with a soft glow from within. A flame creates a sense of place because everyone is drawn to a fire. A flame sheds light and warmth. Reference my “Hopes and Dreams” in my work example to get a sense of what this would look like. The four circles suggest unity and wholeness, or, the circle of life, or, the earth/universe.

  • West Michigan Pike Route but Is Most Visible Between Whitehall and Shelby
    Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 198 Oceana Drive, Rothbury New England Barn & Queen Anne Residence Hart-Montague Trail, Rothbury The trail is twenty-two miles of the former rail bed of the Pere Marquette Railroad. It was made a state park in 1988. The railroad parallels much of the West Michigan Pike route but is most visible between Whitehall and Shelby. New Era New Era was found in 1878 by a group of Dutch that had been living in Montague serving as mill hands. They wanted to return to an agrarian lifestyle and purchased farms and planted peach orchards. In 1947, there were eighty-five Dutch families in New Era. 4856 Oceana, New Era New Era Canning Company The New Era Canning Company was established in 1910 by Edward P. Ray, a Norwegian immigrant who purchased a fruit farm in New Era. Ray grew raspberries, a delicate fruit that is difficult to transport in hot weather. Today, the plant is still owned by the Ray family and processes green beans, apples, and asparagus.

New Era is characterized by a number of vernacular concrete block buildings. Prior to 1900, concrete was not a common building material for residential or commercial structures. Experimentation, testing and the development of standards for cement and additives in the late 19th century, led to the use of concrete a strong reliable building material after the turn of the century. Concrete was also considered to be fireproof, an important consideration as many communities suffered devastating fires that burned blocks of their wooden buildings Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 200 in the late nineteenth century.

  • It's That Time Again!
    April 2019 IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN! By Don Stewart Yes, it’s time again to start thinking about the upcoming flying season. Time to dust off the snow, rust and cobwebs. Get your equipment ready to go. Your first concern should be your batteries, not only the receiver batteries but your transmitter as well. How long have they been in there? Were the cycled and stored properly last season? It’s way easier to replace a $20 battery than it is to replace a $2000 glider. How are your servos? Have any last flight hard landings? Do they all function properly and center every time? How about your clevises and control arms? I saw a beautiful Pike Perfect go in on launch because the pilot used a 2mm clevis on a 2-56 threaded rod. Check for cracks in the fuselage and any hidden damage to the flight surfaces and hinges. Any wiper damage that could hang up a flap or aileron? Did any components shift and alter the C/G? How about the flight program? Is left still left and right, still right? Up and down? How about your flap functions, launch mode and camber setting? If you are flying an electric does the brake for the motor work? Will the prop fold back correctly? How are those motor batteries and on board back up? Does your CAM unit still program correctly? Did you put your AMA number and FAA number on the plane? Did you include your identification on the off chance somebody else finds it and would like to return it? An offer of a reward is usually a good incentive.
