HOW TO DO LIGHT WORK AT A DISTANCE & The actuator cables used by the radio control model airplane people — they call them "push rods" — are usually installed out of sight, where critics cannot see them. When we looked for throttle, reverse, and steering cables to run in plain view in DIANA's cockpit, everything we found was grossly oversize, far too stiff, and rainbow-colored. We wanted something that looked like honest machinery, scaled to the boat, so we had to design our own. The sheath of our actuator cable is a special Teflon*, .048" o.d., and the wire core is flexible stainless steel, .019" o.d. The severest operating mode for an actuator cable is that in which the sheath must carry the reciprocal load of the core, as in a camera cable release. In this Mode One, our assembly is rated at 12 oz. continuous duty, push and pull. In Mode Two, where the plunger cylinders are fast to the same entity airplane or boat structure the sheath serves chiefly as a guide, and acceptable duty loads increase. Since the sheath material is serviceable to 200°C. (392°F.), and the core wire is non-corroding, the steam/marine environment is unthreatening.

There are only two problem areas, neither of which is insurmountable, but nevertheless existent. Since ailerons are in the top wing only, the operating servo must either be mounted in the top wing center section for conventional connection, or in the bottom wing, which requires more complicated though scale-like linkage.

  • Spin and Spin Recovery
    90 Spin and Spin Recovery Dragan Cvetkovi´c1, Duško Radakovi´c2, Caslavˇ Mitrovi´c3 and Aleksandar Bengin3 1University Singidunum, Belgrade 2College of Professional Studies "Belgrade Politehnica", Belgrade 3Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Belgrade University Serbia 1. Introduction Spin is a very complex movement of an aircraft. It is, in fact, a curvilinear unsteady flight regime, where the rotation of the aircraft is followed by simultaneous rotation of linear movements in the direction of all three axes, i.e. it is a movement with six degrees of freedom. As a result, there are no fully developed and accurate analytical methods for this type of problem. 2. Types of spin Unwanted complex movements of aircraft are shown in Fig.1. In the study of these regimes, one should pay attention to the conditions that lead to their occurrence. Attention should be made to the behavior of aircraft and to determination of the most optimal way of recovering the aircraft from these regimes. Depending on the position of the pilot during a spin, the Fig. 1. Unwanted rotations of aircraft spin can be divided into upright spin and inverted spin. During a upright spin, the pilot is in position head up, whilst in an inverted spin his position is head down. The upright spin is carried out at positive supercritical attack angles, and the inverted spin at negative supercritical attack angles. According to the slope angle of the aircraft longitudinal axis against the horizon, spin can be steep, oblique and flat spin (Fig.2). During a steep spin, www.intechopen.com 2210 MechanicalWill-be-set-by-IN-TECH Engineering the absolute value of the aircraft slope angle is greater than 50 degrees, i.e.

  • Tiger Moth Aerobatics
    TIGER MOTH AEROBATICS By David Phillips Preamble I was recently asked to provide some notes on Tiger Moth Aerobatics to be used as an appendix to a Warbirds aerobatic training syllabus. As I wrote these notes, I was constantly aware of a feeling of: “ Well, this is how I do it, but what is the correct or ideal way … ?” I have never seen any formal notes on Tiger aerobatics. The following represents most of what I know about aerobatics in the Tiger. The vast majority of it has been taught or shown to me by others, or has been pinched from Neil Williams’s book on the subject. I think it (my brief, not Neil’s!) is probably flawed in places, and it certainly is not supposed to be authoritative. My reasons for presenting it here are mostly selfish — I would like to increase my knowledge of the subject. So I am inviting criticism of, and additions to, what I have written below. “ Additions” includes alternative ways of skinning the cat. In particular I would be keen to hear from people who grew up with Tigers, as they probably have clearer and purer recollections of the original way of doing things. Also knowledge of or anecdotes about flick manoeuvres, bunts, inverted spins and inverted flying are most welcome. For example, some flight manuals prohibit bunts and outside loops — but one of Alan Cobham’s Tigers did 1500 or so of them in the 1930s. So, if you have anything to offer on the subject please contact John King and myself via the Contact page on the website.
