Mini RC Helicopter 0

Dec26

The Mini RC Helicopter is a small radio controller, motorized replica of a helicopter. They fly on the same principal as helicopters allowing omni-directional flight. A Mini RC Helicopter has a main rotor and tail rotor, again much like its larger counter-part.

The main rotor is the most important part of an RC Helicopter; this is the rotor which is located at the top of the helicopter. The main rotor is responsible for the upward thrust of the helicopter allowing it to lift of the ground, change altitude and even successfully make turns. The adjustability of a helicopters main rotor is thanks to something called a Swash Plate which consists of two main parts; the rotating plates and the fixed plates. The Mini RC Helicopter often refers to this adjustable feature as “trimming” or to adjust the “trim” to properly balance out the helicopter.

The trail rotor is the second main component on a helicopter and allows for the ability to rotate the helicopter on the drive shafts’ axis. In a traditional helicopter the trail rotor would be controller by two foot pedals which the pilot operators accordingly; in the RC helicopter this is controller with a directional control stick and the main rotor is controller by a vertical control stick.

The Mini RC Helicopter receives and interprets the movement requests from the handheld controller and adjusts the main rotor and tail rotor accordingly to allow the proper movement of the mini helicopter in an omni-directional fashion.

RC Helicopters are generally easy to fly and operate although each one requires a unique skill level. Many operate on rechargeable internal batteries and are very lightweight therefore they operate best indoors because the stronger wind may carry the mini helicopter in the outside environment and interfere with its ability to maneuver properly.

Mini RC Helicopters are great collectibles and hobby toys which provide limitless fun. They are commended for anyone who enjoys flying and aviation in generally.

How To Play With Gogos Crazy Bones 0

Dec2

The games that inspired the creation of Gogos Crazy Bones come from Ancient Greece, where children used to play such games in the streets with old animal bones. Luckily the large range of small, colourful Gogos are a lot more hygienic and pleasant on the eye than the animal bones of old. They can be bought in packs of two or three from pocket money and can be collected, traded and played with at home or in the school playground. Here are a few of the games that can be played with these funny little characters.

Traditional – players take it in turns to throw their Gogos into the air at the same time. If any land standing up, you score 5 points, for any that land on their side you get 2 points and for any that land face up you get 1 point.

Battle – each player places his Crazy Bones in lines of six or seven leaving a fair space between each players army. Players then flick one of their own Gogos towards their opponents in an attempt to knock their pieces down. Whoever knocks their opponents pieces down first wins as long as they have a Gogo still standing.

On-The-Line – this game starts with one player drawing a straight line on the ground. Each player then throws, not rolls, one of their Bones towards the line. Whoever manages to get their character closest to the line wins.

Bowling – just like with 10 pin bowling, each player places an agreed number of Gogos Crazy Bones in an agreed arrangement about 20cm from a wall. Players then take turns to throw another Gogo at their opponents line up in an attempt to knock down as many as they can. Points are scored for each Gogo knocked down but no points are gained if you knock down one of your own characters. The winner is the player to score the most points.
