Question: Can we put payload in the wing, such as in a hollow spar?
faqAnswer: For this year payload MAY NOT be carried internal to the wing. That does not prohibit the payload bay extending between the wing panels in the "wing carry over" area, as long as it is entirely inside the fuselage structure. Answer: The 40A limit can be considered as a system wide current limit. No motor or battery may see more than a 40A current. Therefore, if you have two separate packs feeding two separate motors, each motor/pack would have a 40A (max) fuse.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Will the payload be supplied by the team or the contest administration?
faqQuestion: If battery power fails can an immediate landing be made without making a complete lap (question paraphrased by editor) Answer: First priority is safety of personnel, followed by minimizing damage to facilities and equipment. If power fails unexpectedly the pilot will setup for as safe an emergency landing as possible. If the plane does not pass the downwind pylon that sortie's payload will not count, but any prior sorties will still be credited toward the overall score.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Is the payload box provided by the competition or may we make our own?
FAQAnswer: Fairing/Cones may not be added to the box. For the sensor deployment mission only the box may leave the aircraft. The exception is that a lower "hatch" may be released separately and does not need to be replace providing the aircraft is structurally and aerodynamically able to fly the remaining mission without it. Also, to prevent jettisoning half of the fuselage, the "hatch" must be no larger in planform than the box planform plus ?" in length and width.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Is there a specification for the cg location of the payload simulated processor units?
FAQAnswer: The payload elements must be enclosed except for the sampler tube inlet and outlet as specified in the rules (the entire sampler tube may not be external, only the sections specified in the rules), and at least ? of the softball (also defined in the rules). You may use payload specific fairings provided they are not structural and are such that the aircraft could still fly (possibly with ballast, see #5 above) without either payload being present.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Does the aircraft have to be able to fly without the "payload insert"?
faqAnswer: You won't have to fly the aircraft without any payload (empty) during the competition, but the aircraft must be able to fly without a "payload insert", ie. It can't be a required part of the aircraft structure.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Does the payload have to be a "perfect" box or can it have rounded or chamfered corners?
FAQAnswer: The payload deployment MUST be controlled by the RC Tx/Rx system. No physical "intervention" is allowed. Question: Can the antenna and mount for the Decoy mission (A) be left installed on the aircraft when flying the other missions. Question: Can fairings be applied to the fuselage that "in effect" fair the antenna if they remain at least the specified 3" away. Answer: No.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Are wing pods for carrying the cargo permitted?
FAQAnswer: External pods (wing or fuselage mounted) may NOT be used for carrying the payload. (rev 22Oct02) Answer: There may not be any "holes" through the payload box for mounting. You may have external "tabs" for mounting, or may make brackets that surround and secure the payload.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Is a flying wing considered to have a fuselage?
AIAA Student Aircraft Design/Fly CompetitionAnswer: It has a fuselage if any body portion extends beyond the "natural" planform of the wing. That includes a "squashed" cross-section nacelle or boom if the resulting section through it is not an "airfoil", and if there is a clear chord length "jump" to the body region.
Related QuestionsWhen do we get to free spar?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for the University of Conn...Basic sparring is emphasized during the first year or so of practice. Free sparring becomes more important for advanced students. The main reason for this is that good basic technique is a prerequisite to effective free sparring and too much free sparring tends to create bad habits in basic technique. Beginners occasionally free spar, but typically it is with senior students as partners.
Related QuestionsDo you spar?
Columbus Ninjutsu Club - FAQYes, we are one of the very few Ninjutsu schools that do. You will gradually train against added resistance, speed, and strikes until you can comfortably and safely spar. Sparring is essential for timing development and learning how to apply techniques to a resisting opponent. Training without sparring is incomplete training, and can develop a dangerous false sense of confidence. Top
Related QuestionsQuestion: Just how big can a canard or horizontal be before it is considered a wing?
AIAA Student Aircraft Design/Fly CompetitionAnswer: If there are multiple flying surfaces, and there is no overlap between the surface, the largest area one is considered a wing. If the "other" surfaces have a high-lift system, they will be considered to be a second (or third) wing. Answer: No, the rules are correct as stated. Aircraft must have ALL wheels off the ground by the 100 foot line, and they must remain off until the landing. Their is no "obstacle" height requirement for this year.
Related QuestionsQuestion: What is 'Wing Incidence' and 'Wing Decalage' ?
Model Airplane FAQImagine a line down the middle of the fuselage - this is called the water line (because planes usedto be made by shipwrights - you live and learn) Put the wing at an angle of about + 2.5 degrees to this; this is the riggers angle, also called angle of incidence. When the wind flows across the wing, relative to the chord line (a line across the centre of the wing from leading edge to trailing edge) it defines the angle of attack.

Most people have one Wing point that is dominant, although at some time in their life, they access the energy from the other wing point.
