Pitts Booklet.Qxd PPiittttss MMoonnsstteerr Aerobatic flying just doesn't get any better than this Pitts ARF. The classic lines of a biplane coupled with the radial cowl, add excitement to the maneuvers you love, knife edge, split S, lumcevac, torque rolls, snaps, and ground-hugging inverted flight. What's more, we've engineered this ARF to get you into the air with a minimum of fuss. So take a few minutes to carefully read the introductory material and then get to work. You'll soon be out at the field with a classic aerobatic champion! WARNING A radio-controlled model is not a toy and is not intended for persons under 16 years old. Keep this kit out of the reach of younger children, as it contains parts that could be dangerous. A radio- controlled model is capable of causing serious bodily injury and property damage. It is the buyer's responsibility to assemble this aircraft correctly and to properly install the motor, radio, and all other equipment. Test and fly the finished model only in the presence and with the assistance of another experienced R/C flyer. The model must always be operated and flown using great care and common sense, as well as in accordance with the Safety Code of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (5151 Memorial Drive, Muncie, IN 47302, 1-800-435-9262). We suggest you join the AMA and become prop- erly insured prior to flying this model. Also, consult with the AMA or your local hobby dealer to find an experienced instructor in your area. Per the Federal Communications Commission, you are required to use only those radio frequencies specified "for Model Aircraft." LIMITED WARRANTY Carl Goldberg Products, Ltd. has inspected and certified the components of this aircraft. The company urges the buyer to perform his own inspection, prior to assembly, and to immediately request a replacement of any parts he believes to be defective for their intended use. The company warrants replacement of any such components, provided the buyer requests such replacement with- in a period of 90 days from the date of purchase and provided the defective part is returned, if so requested by the company. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made by the company with respect to this kit. The buyer acknowledges and under- stands that it is his responsibility to carefully assemble the finished flying model airplane and to fly it safely. The buyer hereby assumes full responsibility for the risk and all liability for personal or property damage or injury arising out of the buyer's use of the components of this kit. ©Copyright 2004 Carl Goldberg Products CARL GOLDBERG PRODUCTS, LTD.

    $3 vol libre • free flight 6/89 Dec - Jan POTPOURRI SAC was informed by Sport Canada on the 10th of July that we are not eligible for funding for 1989-90 and until further notice. Thus we are now totally on our own. The average yearly grant from 1979 to 1988 in 1989 dollars was $14,000, or $16 per person. Perhaps it’s a good thing as planning in an atmosphere of doubt is not conducive to good health and efficient use of funds. The cutback was not unexpected and steps were taken early on to ease the effects of this loss of revenue. Imaginative planning in our small store and a good response from our members through the use of the “Soaring Stuff” inserts resulted in in- creased sales. We will also receive higher than projected invest- ment income essentially due to careful cash management and short-term interest rates, which have remained higher for longer than generally expected. In addition, a small gain in projected receipts from an unexpected increase in membership – now at 1423 – which is the first time since 1982 that we have passed 1400. Total expenditures should come in well below budget projection, primarily as a result of scaling back meetings and travel expenditures. On balance it seems fair to say that a combination of some tight fistedness on the expenditure side and a bit of luck on the revenue side will leave SAC in a financially stronger position than was expected at the beginning of the season, despite the cutting off of govern- ment funding.

  • Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight Author’S Note to Flightlab Students
    Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight Author’s Note to Flightlab Students The collection of documents assembled here, under the general title “Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight,” covers a lot of ground. That’s because unusual-attitude training is the perfect occasion for aerodynamics training, and in turn depends on aerodynamics training for success. I don’t expect a pilot new to the subject to absorb everything here in one gulp. That’s not necessary; in fact, it would be beyond the call of duty for most—aspiring test pilots aside. But do give the contents a quick initial pass, if only to get the measure of what’s available and how it’s organized. Your flights will be more productive if you know where to go in the texts for additional background. Before we fly together, I suggest that you read the section called “Axes and Derivatives.” This will introduce you to the concept of the velocity vector and to the basic aircraft response modes. If you pick up a head of steam, go on to read “Two-Dimensional Aerodynamics.” This is mostly about how pressure patterns form over the surface of a wing during the generation of lift, and begins to suggest how changes in those patterns, visible to us through our wing tufts, affect control. If you catch any typos, or statements that you think are either unclear or simply preposterous, please let me know. Thanks.
