Open Question: The US has thousands of old fighter plane in storage. What about converting them into drones?

It seems that as the services use more and more of these drone aircraft, how hard would it be to strip out all of the unneeded 'manned aircraft' equipment and turn them into radio controlled drones. Imagine the firepower that a light weight old F8U could carry. more

Resolved Question: The World Trade Centers??????

Yeah, I know, this question has probably been asked a thousand times and most of the people who ask it seem like psycho conspiracy loving nutcases but, please, just hear me out. Lets act like nobody hear is a conspiracy theorist. I'm not (I'm actually not). You're not. No one is. In fact, let's say right now that 9/11 WAS done by a terrorist organisation. Could you please answer the following questions then? 1. When air traffic control loses radio communications with a passenger jet, fighter jets are ordered to intercept it as soon as possible. This is even more serious and important when it happens over NEW YORK. There were no fighter jets even close to any passenger jets let alone the passenger jets that hit the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon or the one that crashed into the ground in Pensylvania. Why is this? 2. In relation to question 1, why was there no fighter jets prowling the skies after the first passenger jet hit the first World Trade Center? Media helicopters that do 150 miles an hour tops were circling the buildings minutes before the 2nd plane hit and yet no miltary fighter jets with Mach 3 capability and state of the art weaponry were anywhere in the vicinity. Not even close. Whats up with that? 3. In Madrid, a 106 meter tall office building burnt in an inferno all night and it wasn't until 3AM that any thing collapsed. Only the top 6 floors collapsed and thats because these "floors" were more like charcoal by then. Even the crane perched on top of the unfinished building stood tall and didnt fall over or collapse. Why did the World Trade Centers collapse? Two hours is not enough time for a completely metal building to burn bad enough that it collapses. Not only did they collapse in record time, but they collapsed from the bottom as if they were being demolished and when they collapsed they erupted into clouds of dust...even a half brained twit would be scratching his head and saying WTF? more

Resolved Question: Should I wrap my RC Airplane with Packing Tape?

Hi All I recently bought a radio controlled plane, a Super Cub LP. I am new to the hobby. I saw a comment from a Customer on Amazon saying the following: "Bullet-proof your SC by wrapping the wings, fuselage and cowl completely with clear packing tape (yes, every surface). Make sure to keep the cowl-holes free for keeping the motor cool. " In one way I think this would be good idea, as I'm sure I'll have crashes while I'm learning to fly. In another way I wonder would it weigh down the plane or maybe make it unbalanced in flight. So what do you think, is it a good idea to wrap a model airplane in clear packing tape? more

Resolved Question: Why is it that we can do all this, but not find a new fuel source?

Why is it that we can put men on the moon, access the internet from almost everywhere on Earth, make a call to anyone and anywhere with a cellphone, have touchscreen computers and phones, can travel the speed of sound, have a space station, bomb the moon, access the radio via satellite, drive stealth jets with a remote control, hop on a plane and travel to almost anywhere on the planet, watch movies in 3D, build bridges across oceans, build skyscrapers, mass produce just about every item you can think of, and more..., but we can't create an alternative fuel that replaces gasoline, coal, and dams in producing electricity and powering cars, and one that does not pollute the environment. I'm not referring to what we already have, wind turbines, solar panels, electric cars, etc., but a mainstream eco-friendly fuel source that would replace gasoline, coal, and others as a power source. Why?? more

Voting Question: what do you think of my video game idea?

The system video game A manevolent group of control freaks, composied of captians of industry, bankers and other men of esteem assend to power within The US government. The group, known simple as "Genesis Superioria" pull the strings of a puppet goverment. Using the paradigm of democracy GS manges to divide the populace along party lilnes, but GS actually owns both canidatesto. Race also plays a role, as a method of devision too. Threw planned economic and security disaster, the group uses a "shock doctrine" to install laws violating the constitution, similar to that of "The Patriot Act". The game will take place in a semi free state, but as your progress becomes more controlled. In the Game you place a sane man(or woman) in a sand box type enviorment that plays more realistically. Most of the populace is "zombified".You have a choice as to how to react. You may choose to join the underground resistance force, escape to the freedlands (which are at war with the system), join the system or succumb to the fallen. The game would play like a sand box GTA type game, but unline GTA random rampages would be hard considering the tight control the group has over the city. There are cameras on every corner, which survey and record actions of the citizens. Media is controlled and only spew propoganda. The standard radios in the game plays only mindless contemporary music like "shots-lil jon", lady gaga, "move bitch get out the way", but you can find other recievers that pick up music like pink floyd and other "kick ass" musicians. In the game the populace is neither good nor bad, but zombified. The walk around in a drugged stupor. Movement should be fairly realistic. Jails are termed "re education centers" and employ electro shock therapy and sensory deprivation coupled with brain washing. Your charector will lose the ability to move as fast, shot as accurate and have less health the more often sent to such centers. The charactor has to avoid drawing attention to itself, while making connections with other charectors and slowly gain power to make actions. In the game books are sold like drugs, and unadulterated food is boughten in secret. RX drugs are highly available, there effects should be vary from loss of sight to increased pain tolerance. Unlike GTA your wanted level never goes down, so it is wise not to draw much attention to yourself. I think the dynamic of playing in such an open game, but having to be secretive would be terrific. The game takes place predominately in a highly urbanized megacity which can be modeled after NYC or be fictious. It should take place in the near future. IN the city it's almost always dark, because planes blacken the skies with contrails. The city is by the bay, and is either walled in or is enclosed by mountains. The City is highly monitored and patrolled, set design could look like that of "children of men".Outside the city is a villages of the free. They are fighting the system, and live in harmony. There villages should be very picturesque and pleasant. I got a "feel" for the game, and know it could be a great. more

Resolved Question: What about the black boxes on the flights involved in 9/11?

I am seriously not into conspiracy theories, but I can't help to think it was strange that the black boxes were not recovered, or publicized to have been recovered, in any of the crashes involved in 9/11. If I remember correctly in most major plane crashes they go for the black boxes pretty aggressively. For example, in TWA flight 800 they dove to the bottom of the ocean to find it, and in that Valuejet crash in the everglades they dredged 100 ft of muck to find it. But none of the 9/11 flights' black boxes were mentioned, not even in the 9/11 commission, they were depended only on radio transmissions with aircraft controllers on the ground and not records of how the planes were being controlled along with all the voice recordings. That is what a black box does if I understand it right. What gives?The flight that went down in Pennsylvania, as far as the physics are concerned, wouldn't have been that abnormal of a wreckage site. Yes it was a debris trail that was very spread out, but I don't think impact and incineration are as much of a factor here. ______________________________ I've gotten some interesting links here. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Did you know there were no commercial planes on 9/11? Only military planes?

The hole in the pentagon was too small for a commerical plane. The engine was also too small and the piece of the plane was too delicate for a commercial plane. Plus, the FBI video footage shows the exact shape of a military radio controlled plane. In shanksville there is a similar size hole, too small for a commercial plane, which could mean only one thing. Look up a picture of the second plane before it hits the tower, it is darker than a commercial plane and has no windows. And the first plane there is only one picture of it, and you can see a flash of light below the plane before the plane hit the tower, which was an explosion which caused the plane to blow up into a fire ball (it wouldn't have done that without explosives). And if it had that many explosives on it, it had to be military. Do you understand how monumental this type of knowledge is? All this time we were led to believe in hijackers and passengers facing a horrible death. When in fact, there were no commercial planes, thus no hijackers, and no killed passengers. If you think you know a family of a deceased passenger, prove it, otherwise there is absolutely no record of any of the passengers. In fact, if you go on the social security death index, many of those supposed passengers do not even come up on the SSN death index. Rather than feeling sorry for the passengers that do not exist, we should instead be angry that we were lied to. And for anyone that just feels the need to insult me because of what I'm saying, I just pray you can at least have an open enough mind to live a happy life.the hole was too small for a commercial plane, plus this video shows witnesses seeing a military plane http://www.prlog.org/10322926-independent-investigation-into-pentagon-attack-yields-alarming-information.htmlsorry, they did not ID the bodies, in fact they didn't even find any bodies. And the hole is still too small for a commercial plane. more

Resolved Question: HELP!? RC radio control plane crystal problems? The transmitter no longer controls the plane?

I used to fly a Parkzone Stryker C radio control airplane. I put the electronics ( receiver, servos, etc.) into a nitro plane and the plane has been flying great for nearly 2 seasons. Last week a gust of wind caused me to have a fairly rough crash landing... i guess thats what i deserve for flying just before a storm. Anyways, I brought the plane home only to find that the transmitter no longer controlled the reciever. The parkzone transmitter has fully charged batteries and is in good shape. The reciever also has fully charged batteries and the servos still jitter like normal when the reciever is turned on. When both the reciever and transmitter are on, however, the transmitter doesn't control the servos. I can toggle the joysticks all I want and still get no response. Occasionally, however, the servos seem like they are trying to move in the direction that the transmitter is directing them to - they jitter in the direction of directed motion for a few seconds before going dead once again. So based on my tests, i have concluded that both the transmitter and reciever are getting power, and once in a while a weak signal gets through. I was thinking that maybe the hard landing caused the crystals to go bad? Is this a possibility? Any other ideas? any help would be greatly appreciated. more

Resolved Question: With the anniversary of 9/11 quickly approaching I have some questions... Prove me wrong, if you can!?

We all know that there are a lot of conspiracy theorist out there claiming that the attacks on the towers were inside jobs. I do believe that we were lied to on many of the facts surrounding 9/11, however I want to know if anyone can prove my facts wrong that it WAS an inside job. 1.) The government has been involved in "False Flag Terrorism" (operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than ones own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension.) since the 1950's. What would keep them from using it now? We all know that the government has used fear in the last decade or so to get laws and/or certain bills passed (ex. Patriot Act) to have more control over the people. This has been quoted by many famous dictators... "This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector." - Plato "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - U.S. President James Madison "Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death". - Adolph Hitler "The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened". - Josef Stalin So who is to say that this was not the case with 9/11? 2.) Why did our government ignore all of the prior warnings that we had stating an attack on 9/11 was imminent? The administration's claim that terrorists crashing planes into buildings was not foreseeable is contradicted by numerous sources: Initially, the CIA Director had warned congress shortly before 9/11 "that there could be an attack, an imminent attack, on the United States of this nature. So this is not entirely unexpected" according to a broadcast on National Public Radio. And the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee was "not surprised there was an attack (but) was surprised at the specificity... (he was only) shocked at what actually happened -- the extent of it" And the U.S. received warnings from numerous foreign intelligence services about planned attacks, many of them quite detailed. Indeed, America's closest ally apparently tracked the hijackers' every movement prior to the attacks, and may have sent agents to film the attack on the World Trade Centers. And for God's sake the Pentagon tracked the hijackers before 9/11!! Verify at (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/11/17/122900.shtml) 3.) On the very morning of 9/11/01, five war games and terror drills were being conducted by several U.S. defense agencies, including one "live fly" exercise using REAL planes. Then-Acting Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Richard B. Myers, admitted to 4 of the war games in congressional testimony. Interestingly, Vice President Cheney was apparently in charge of ALL of the war games and coordinated the government's "response" to the attacks. See this Department of State announcement. And while the government has consistently stated that it did not know where the aircraft were before they struck. The Secretary of Transportation's testimony before the 9/11 Commission, shows that Cheney monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon. How could one of the most heavily-defended buildings in the world have been successfully attacked, when the Vice President of the United States, in charge of counter-terrorism on 9/11, watched it approach from many miles away? Fighter jets were also sent far off-course over the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of the attacks (testimony of Senator Mark Dayton), so as to neutralize their ability to intercept the hijacked airliners. Could Osama Bin Laden and his sent-from-the-cave band of followers have exercised this degree of control over the military? Obviously not. And air traffic controllers claim they were still tracking what they thought were hijacked planes long after all 4 of the real planes had crashed. This implies that false radar blips remained on their screens after all 4 planes went down, long after the military claims they purged the phantom war-game-related radar signals. Could Bin Laden have interfered with the full purging of false radar blips inserted as part of the war games? In other words, could Bin Laden have overridden the purging process so that some false blips remained and confused air traffic controllers? 4.)Numerous experts have stated that three World Trade Center buildings were brought down on 9/11 by controlled demolition: A prominent phys more

Resolved Question: So I have a question about the Cargo Cults..?

So, around 70 years ago, most of humanity was doing things like inventing planes and radios, while some of humanity was not, and they were still sleeping in houses made of dirt and throwing spears at wild animals. One day, among some asian tribes in the south pacific, talk arose of gods visiting from the sky, shitting out clothes and other things that they'd never seen before. Those tribes probably had their own atheists, who proposed these people had eaten too many of the brown mushrooms the elders warned about. But, eventually, those skeptics saw it too; Metal birds with stiff wings that shit clothes and food. Of course, they were just planes dropping in goods to equip troops in the Pacific Theater. But the tribals thought they were giant gods giving them gifts from the sky. After the war ended, the planes stopped coming, so for years, they tried to call the planes back, even doing things like building airstrips and radio control towers out of bamboo, while waving two long sticks at the end like they had seen troops do, to try to get them to return. They were completely wrong about how to get the gods back, but the fact remains that they did their best guesses to the origins of the gods and what they wanted. The planes may not have actually been gods to us, but they were gods enough for the cults. Suppose we put the cargo cults on a plane and flew them to New York and showed them around. Have we dispelled their beliefs and showed them there are no gods? No, we've reinforced that image- we've shown them that what they THOUGHT was completely under the mark of what the gods really were capable of. So, Atheists, while you may not believe there are gods, that doesn't mean there arent any, just because you haven't seen them. Absence of proof is not proof of absence. What will you do when you finally DO see the giant metal birds? Think about it. Let the beating of the invisible Unicorns begin!Zero Cool, no. think about it little boy. more

Resolved Question: Is it possible to build a rc model plane that can fly up to 2-3 hours at high alt.?

Is it possible to build a rc plane that can fly 2-3 hours (gas or electric?) and program it's flight using gps so you don't have to worry about radio range. It would fly around 2000-4000ft. I want this to be like a survallence plane with a few cameras with monitors on the ground and a remote to control the cameras. What is the longest radio range for an rc transmitter and reciever? more

Resolved Question: What frequency is best for my radio controlled air plane?

I an a Ham Radio operator and I have the privileges to transmit in the 6m(meter) range. 50mhz and 53mhz. I was wondering if you think that using one of the FQs this would eliminate all my interference issues? I am not sure this is in the FM band or not, so will it work with my planes FM rx and tx? right now I am using 72mhz. Do you know of a place were I could purchase one of these 6m crystals? And is there a difference between a receiving and transmitting crystal? I know i asked alot but if you can only answer 1 that is still helpful. more

Resolved Question: Why are more men interested in flight than women?

I've noticed that many more men seem fascinated by flight than women. In particular, in my favorite hobby of flying radio controlled aircraft, there are no females that I've ever seen participating in it. I've often wondered, why is this so? Even with younger kids, the boys seem much more interested in watching me fly my planes then the girls are. There must be a gender factor at work here, yes?Well, of course I'd rather be flying a real plane or helicopter, with me in it! Do you think I'm crazy? But where am I going to get the money for flight school? Although, with all the money I've spent on my model planes over the years, I probably could have learned to fly a real one. But I would never have been able to hide that expense from my wife. more

Resolved Question: What exactly would happen if i left my cell phone on in a plane?

I know that the airlines always tell you to turn off your cell phones and I have always wondered exactly why they have you turn off your cell phone. Could it cause deadly malfunctions of the controls or just maybe disrupt the radio waves it uses to communicate? more

Resolved Question: Using toy airplane for drug smuggling?

I got this idea when i was on air modelling competition. Some remote-controlled airplanes can carry loads of up to 2-4 Kg so i thought of hooking some cocaine on them and controlling the plane along the borders xD.

Resolved Question: Will this get published?

this is just a short exccerpt from my chapter in my book.....just want ur opinions thanks Marshall inside his cockpit was getting apprehensive, but not nervous. This would be the most powerful rocket plane he has ridden to date. His job was to test some interface system for a new upcoming NASA mission, and some powerful rocket engines at the same time. To pass the time, Marshall listened to music on his ipod he brought with. Yes, it is unprofessional, but Marshall had ridden so many rocket planes, test flights were now routine to him. But what he really longed for was to be in NASA. To be the best of the best, not best of the rest. He had applied three times, and failed twice. “Ignition in T-minus 60 seconds,” Jose squawked like a lunch lady from high school on the radio. Marshall sighed. “Ok, let’s do this,” Marshall whispered to himself, and slid his helmet visor down, the shadow created slithered over his tan face and sleek black hair. He watched patiently the seconds count down to zero. When one turned to zero, a sudden shudder rocked the airplane as the aircraft was freed from the wing pylon. He looked up out the bubble canopy glass and watched as B-52 slowly drifted away. It was quiet, save for the sound of wind bristling the cockpit canopy, for the sleek black aircraft was now soaring through the air like a giant eagle of steel. The whole world seemed still and peaceful, the quiet before the storm. Marshall then turned his vision forward to the great expanse in front of him. The sight was astounding. To be that high and watch all of the land below him, the desert, the fine line where the desert meets the forest, spying on the people in cars on their way to the city. He felt like a king, watching with noble and pleased eyes over his vast kingdom. But Marshall knew his real mission was not to have visions of grander, he leaned forward and flipped open the ignition button protection. And with this one quivering finger, Marshall hit the green ignition button and shoved the throttle forward, unleashing the fury of the storm. Now a teeth rattling hit shook the aircraft; the rocket engines were on. Marshall felt his body pressed against his seat from the force of the acceleration, and heard the high pitched scream of the rockets blasting the aircraft forward. When the engines reached their maximum thrust capacity, he watched the clouds zoom by, like the hash marks on a road when you’re going 65. The speed dials spun out of control, like a compass surrounded by magnets. Here he was, probably going faster than any human has ever gone, his aircraft splitting the air, slicing through clouds. Marshall heaved back on the control stick, pointing the aircraft towards the heavens. He looked back; the land was very far away now, looking hazy behind the veil of clouds. Even at such a dangerous height and speed, he gallantly pressed on. Now almost in space, Marshall could see the lustrous blue halo covering the curvature of the Earth, growing little by little, and the luminous moon ahead of him, the lighthouse of space. Almost out of Earth’s grasp, almost an astronaut, almost space traveler. He was teetering on the edge of a dream. Every month he would come so close to his dream, to go to space, yet every month his aircraft would collapse before the finish line, sputter and whine before crawling back to its den in the hanger. As time went by, and the acceleration turned slowed, and the scream of the engine stopped, Marshall felt his body thrown forward by the force of deceleration. His blood pressure lowered and he felt cold from all of the adrenaline. Sighing, he pointed the nose of the aircraft down to the ground and prepared for landing. “whoooooot, what a ride!” He screamed out no one, “whooot what a ride!” more

Resolved Question: will someone plz read this?

Plz read this and tell me ways I can improve it and give your opoinion n it plz?? Quartz is one of the most abundant and widlyspread of minerals in Earth's crust. We have virtually no hope I runing out in your or my life time. It is made up of one atom of silica and 2 atoms of oxygen. It has a hardness of 7 on Mohs Hardness scale and a density of 2.65. This makes it harder then most minerals and extremely resistant to chemical and meachanical weathering, which allows it to form almost anywhere! Quartz is part of the silicates class, and the subclass of tectosilicates. Quartz and most of the other Quartz Group members are also classified here as silicates because of their structural and property similarities to other tectosilicates But, stishovite, for example, has properties and structure more closely related to the minerals of the Rutile Group and is therefore classified as an oxide. Thus, even though quartz is scientificly classified as in the silicates group the true classification of all the quartz members is still being debated and is undecided at the moment because, of the many versions of the mineral itself. As much as we over look this mineral we don't relize how dependent we are on it. What Are The Uses Of Quartz? Like I said, this mineral is VERY overlooked by a lot of people. These people don't realize that almost all the electronic things around them have this mineral in them. All the electronic things we use everyday such as, cell phones, your radio, your television and even your computer have this mineral in them! This is because, quartz is piezoelectric (It can produce electricity when preasured by sound waves.) But how is Quartz placed and used in these things? Well, Thin wafers of quartz grounded to the precise thickness, can transmit sound waves at fixed frequencies, making them invaluable to the things I mentioned earlier and more! A lot of electronic things probably wouldn't function as well without this mineral. Even most of your jewelry has this mineral in it! This is because, quartz can be used in gemstones such as, Bloodstones, Agate, Tigerseye, Citrine, Carneian, Onyx and Sardonyx. What qualitities does quartz have to help us? Quartz has many qualities theat help us in our everyday lives for example, because of its ability to rotate the plane of polarization of light and its transparency in ultraviolet rays it is used in heat-ray lamps, prism, and spectrographic lenses. Used in the manufacture of glass, paints, abrasives, refractories, and precision instruments. Also Cultured quartz,” that is, quartz crystals grown very carefully in highly controlled laboratory conditions, is the quartz that is used in industry. About 200 metric tons of cultured quartz is produced each year. In the production of cultured quartz crystals, a “seed crystal” is needed. A seed crystal is a small piece of carefully selected, non-electronics-grade quartz. The manufactured crystal grows on this seed crystal. Seed crystals of quartz are called lascas. The United States is 100% dependent on imported lascas for manufactured quartz crystals. SO WHAT DOES QUARTZ LOOK LIKE? The quartz color variation is amazingly variable. Quartz can be almost any color as well as colorless. Even though it has many colors it is almost always transparent. It crystallizes in triangular form and is found in a well-known pyramid-like configuation with various lusters. However, some versions of quartz look nothing like this. %0 more
