  Then, you get a fast-track zoom-in toward the carbon atom.  I often forget how infinitesimally small I am in the vastness of the universe…

RC Superhero

RC Superhero

Imagine seeing this thing fly by your car as you’re driving to work… Pretty incredible.

From the website:

Specifications: The full scale RcSuperhero is 78 inches tall, weighs approximately 3.3 pounds, and has an “arm span” or wingspan of 47 inches.

Flight characteristics: Great! This is due to the low weight to surface area and that it has a high wing like a Piper cub with a low center of gravity. In addition, he has plenty of vertical tail surfaces due to the double side bodies; which adds to the stability. Also, the RcSuperhero has oversized control surfaces and likes to fly upright. He takes off by being thrown or by standing upright in a stand and lands on his belly skids.

Thrust: The RcSuperhero has 5+ pounds of thrust; this allows for vertical take off.

RcSuperhero Package Includes: laser-cut foam, substructure materials, control horns, a plywood motor mount, 2 sizes of rubber bands, carbon fiber fabric strands, two 4mm square arm spars and other various carbon fiber sizes, a picassa photo build album with captions, materials list, and e-support materials (directions and tech. information).

Degree of Building Difficulty: Best if you have previous modeling experience.

Pilot’s skill requirement: Although the RcSuperhero is not a trainer any average rc pilot can fly this. If you are inexperienced I recommend that you practice ahead of time on a simulator.

Check out rcsuperhero.com for more information and to buy one for yourself.  Send us a video and we’ll put it on the site.

Fabric of the Cosmos

October 30th, 2011 | Space

This video is an interview with Brian Greene from the New York Comic Con convention. He is discussing his new show, “Fabric of the Cosmos”, which will be airing on PBS beginning November 2nd, 2011. There is some rather mind-blowing topics covered in the interview. Some of my favorites: time travel, teleportation, and the structure of the universe.

“What makes me me is not the actual particles that are constituting my bones and my brain and everything else inside of me but rather, [what makes me me is] really the quantum information that those particles contain.” – Brain Greene
