To the best of your humble FAQ author's knowledge, the current speed record for a 'hobby' radio controlled helicopter is just over 100 miles per hour. To get that fast requires extensive modification, so you end up with a helicopter that can go fast but doesn't really run well, emits an ear-splitting roar, doesn't fly well upside-down, and basically can't really do much besides go really fast. The average person's "sport" helicopter is still pretty quick though.

The program will run on any level of IBM computer including an old 8086 XT. This computer is painfully slow searching a large database but it is fine for data input and data checking. It will run in any operating system from DOS 3.3, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, OS2, etc. Sorry but there is no Macintosh version.

It's impossible to say; there are so many variables that influence the process. In a laboratory, under ideal conditions for decay fungi, wood can rot quite quickly. However, in real life applications, the entire process is slower and unpredictable.

Because light is found on the electromagnetic spectrum, light travels at the same speed as other electromagnetic waves, which, in a vacuum, is 299,792,458 m/s, or 186,282.4 mi/s. Except when performing experiments that need the exact velocity of light, this number is usually rounded up to 3 ? 108 m/s (186,000 mi/s). Just like any other wave, light does slow down when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere.

After you open the package, the clay begins to dry very quickly. Because the piece is small, it doesn't have much mass, and depending on the humidty, it can dry very fast. Tightly re-wrap the clay that you are not using. Use water and a moist brush to lightly hydrate the Art Clay while you shape your work. Keeping the clay covered with something moist will let you put it down momentarily. A small spray bottle of water is also very helpful.

A8. The boat goes about 7 knots (8 miles an hour). If we go around the world in 2 years, we will be underway about 20-25% of the time. When we go long distances we do not stop in the night, we travel 24 hours a day. The longest passage was from San Diego to the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific. It was about 2900 nautical miles (nautical miles are about 15% longer than regular miles) and took 21 days. Most long passages average about 10 days.
