What is a decent rc helicopter for a beginner?

November 5, 2008 by 1topstore2008

Question:
Is Blade CX2 RTF Electric Coaxial good for that and if not what is a good one?
Also when I’m buying a rc heli for a first time what are the things I should look for?
And what’s the price range for such helicopters?

Though I’m a beginner I’d like to have a rc helicopter with lots of capabilities. So please give me good ones.
Answer:
Hello, you are in luck, I am a RC helicopter Pilot. Unless you are familiar with the controls with a RC helicopter that mimics the functions of a full scale helicopter, I suggest you get something else. The Blade CX/2 has Counter Rotating Blades that only helps the helicopter center it if you move left, right, forwards or backwards. However I don’t suggest it if youre a beginner that just started. Air Hogs has come out with an awesome line of helicopter products. The helicopter Havoc is great to test, but it only has 2 channels. Up, Down, Rotate Left and Right. The Air Hogs Helix/Reflex is also great. It has counter rotating blades, and it could go up, down, rotate right and left, and even forwards and backwards. I highly suggest this if its your first time with helicopters. Simulators are only for the actualy full scale helicopters, so I wouldnt suggest that yet until you feel confident later on. I have bought lots of these RC aircrafts and I must say, you should get the Air Hogs Havoc or Reflex/Helix (both are same) and then go with the E-Flite’s Blade CX/2 (CX2 only has better transmitter.) After that, if you want to go further, you could go with the Blade CP or buy a simulator to fly around. (simulator is optional if you dont feel confident) Hope my information helpped, but if it didnt, please feel free to contact me for all your RC needs.

Beads–which is living with us

November 3, 2008 by 1topstore2008

If clothes are a tell tale about a person, then jewellery does not lag far behind. They speak even more clearly about a person, his or her personality type, tastes and preferences, likes and dislikes, sense of dressing up for the moment, cultural background and a lot of other things. Jewellery with beads are one kind of jewellery, which when worn, also tell a lot about the person wearing it. They shout aloud to the world, that the person wearing them is a fun and fearless kind of person, who is quite easy going and comfortable with herself.

Jewellery also differs from occasion to occasion and from mood to mood. Needless to say that, but something to mull over. There are different kinds of jewellery set for different kinds of occasion. And not all jewellery find themselves suitable for all kinds of occasions. But with beads, it is more of an easy ride, as it seems to gel with most kinds of occasions.

And not just jewellery, beads are great on accessories as well. Not all kinds of stones, gems or faceted and non faceted jewels go along with accessories. But beads seem to fit in quite well even with accessories. You put them on your bags and shoes, and they seem to do just fine. They make your accessories look as fun to carry along as your personality is. Some even wear it on their dresses and believe it or not, the outfits do look grand. Jewellery for the living – beads

Basically some jewellery are meant for every day living as well as special occasions. Beads and beads jewellery are the primary in the list of such jewellery. You can wear them to anywhere on earth, and you can look just fine. They are your best bet, when you just want to spruce up for the occasion.

Whether you need bluetooth

October 31, 2008 by 1topstore2008

When buying any digital electronic device, whether a cellphone, PDA, or notebook computer, it is important to check the specifications to ensure that it will serve your purposes. Bluetooth is becoming an increasingly popular offering in personal electronics, but do you need it?

What Is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a wireless PAN (Personal Area Network) transmission protocol standard. In layman’s terms, Bluetooth is a technology that enables a device to communicate and share data with other Bluetooth capable devices – cellphones, headsets, PDAs, notebook computers, desktop PCs, computer peripherals, printers, cameras, and others – through radio wave transmission (so there is no need for wires) at a range of around 1, 10, or 100 meters, depending on the class of your Bluetooth device (Class 1 has the longest range and Class 3 the shortest).

If a device has a Bluetooth chip, it can communicate with other devices that have a Bluetooth chip. Users can share pictures, movies, datasheets, documents, and all sorts of information among them as long as their devices are in range (they do not need to be in direct line of sight). For instance, a Bluetooth-capable digital camera can communicate with a Bluetooth-capable printer for direct printing. Likewise, a Bluetooth-capable cellphone can be connected to a Bluetooth-equipped headset so that a person can take and make hands-free telephone calls.

Bluetooth can be used for internet connectivity as long as a bluetooth-enabled computer is in range of a Bluetooth modem. Bluetooth devices can also form a small wireless network (called a piconet) of up to 8 devices. For security, devices can be paired and transmissions encrypted. So that it causes only minimal interference, Bluetooth periodically changes frequency channels.

Bluetooth uses the same radio frequency that 802.11 Wireless Networking does, but it is much simpler than 802.11 technology, negating the need for complex network configurations. Bluetooth also has lower power consumption, making it more economical, though its range is shorter.

You Need Bluetooth

If you wish to have an extremely basic home network, Bluetooth is for you. There are no wires to trip you and there are no complex configurations like network permissions or addresses to deal with. Piconets are temporary, so a new device can immediately join or leave a Bluetooth network with nothing more than a simple device discovery. It is important to note, however, that piconets are no substitution for a traditional home network (whether through Ethernet or 802.11 Wireless), which are much more reliable and offer much more full-bodied security options.

If you have a notebook computer, there is a good chance you will want to have Bluetooth connectivity so that you can take advantage of the many Bluetooth-equipped peripherals, thereby eliminating the need for bulky wires. You can also easily synchronize data between your handheld devices and your notebook computer. Moreover, if you are fond of sharing data with other handheld device users, you definitely need to have Bluetooth for easy and convenient data sharing.

You Don’t Need Bluetooth

It is important to note that bluetooth can present a security risk if you store sensitive information on your Bluetooth-enabled device. If you are traveling with sensitive information on your computer, cell-phone, or PDA, it is wise to disable Bluetooth temporarily to prevent data theft or exploitation. Please also note that some corporations and government entities disapprove of bluetooth and similar convenience-based additions, so please check with your employer if you intend to use your Bluetooth-enabled notebook for business.

Helicopter

October 29, 2008 by 1topstore2008

Okay, so you bought that $1,000.00 flying thing and it’s now in your home. You rip open the box cover and find that you still have to fix the tail, blades, and servos before you can get it up in the air.

Well, you tell yourself, it’s not a problem, so you hurrily screw in all the parts and go off to the flying field to try out your new toy. The engine fires up. The blades spin, and you find you can’t stop the engine. In panic, you back off, and the engine races. The heli bounces, and CRAAASSSSHHH!

So what happened?

Setting up the helicopter correctly is *THE MOST* *Important* thing before flying it. And understanding the principles of all the working, moving parts will save you hundred of dollars in repair cost.

Is it possible to play my Xbox through a PC TV card onto a PC Monitor?

October 28, 2008 by 1topstore2008

Q:Is it possible to link my xbox to my pc monitor through the aerial connection on the TV card in my PC. If i use the xbox RF connector will i be able to play the games through the PC Monitor?
A:Yes, just run the tv program on the pc and select the correct input. Most PC cards have a video input too, the yellow phone socket, so you could plug it in there easily using a phone connector. Or you could buy a vga box which converts scart/phone in a pc monitor. Picture quality wont be too hot though cos all the converting means you usually end up with big black borders around the game picture

Light Up Your Wheels With the Help of LED Lights

October 27, 2008 by 1topstore2008

Wheel well LED lights emit a illuminating glow from the wheel wells of your truck or car, making them stand out and get noticed. There are several manufacturers of LED lights, and these include Streetglow, PlasmaGlow, and Varad, among others. The colors that are available are numerous, including blue, purple, green, pink, and almost every other color of the rainbow. These lights come in single colors and in multicolor and changing color models as well. There is even one model that boasts 2.1 million colors as the LED lights cycle through their entire color spectrum on a regular basis. If you choose a model that has the ability to change colors, make sure you still have the option to set it on a single color as well, so that you can switch between the two modes as needed.

The laws vary regarding LED lights, with some areas allowing them, some areas restricting their use, and some areas completely banning this light accessory on your vehicle.

Municipalities, cities, and states all have the right to set their own laws regarding these matters, so the law can be completely different in cities that are only fifteen or twenty miles apart. Some places only ban specific colors, like red and blue, with the reasoning that the LED lights could cause confusion, because most public vehicles like ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks use these colors. Other places have restricted the use of changing colors and colors that strobe or pulse, with the reason that these devices can cause a distraction, making other drivers concentrate less on driving, which can lead to accidents. Some areas restrict the exact location these lights can be placed on the vehicle, limiting them to specific areas but not others.

It is a wise move to contact your local authorities, like the police department or city hall, to find out what the specific law is in your area. Otherwise, that great light kit could cost you significantly more in tickets and legal costs.

Wheel well LED light kits can vary in price, depending on the brand name as well as the model. Normally, for a couple hundred dollars you can get a top name brand and multiple colors in a light kit. These lights are very easy to install and come with very detailed easy to follow instructions. Each kit normally includes a flexible light bar for each of your 4 wheel wells.

These normally mount at the top of your wheel well, cascading a soft glow of color over your entire wheel well area and tire. The light bars connect to a standard 12 volt power source, usually your vehicle battery, and there is no special knowledge or experience needed to install them. The installation process may take quite a bit of time, especially if this is your first installation attempt with wheel well lights. Some people may not be comfortable in attempting this installation process, and if that is the case, then any car accessory dealer can install the lights for you at a reasonable cost.

Wheel well LED lights can be a great way to make your car stand out and become the center of attention. With the soft glow illuminating the wheel wells and tires of your car, every eye will be drawn to it. Some models allow the lights to change, pulse, strobe, and blink, making your vehicle a driving light show. These lights are great to use on a car that you drive every day, as well as a car that is shown in auto shows for competition. These lights can greatly improve the customized look of your automobile. These LED lights can be used alone, or with numerous other lighting and automotive accessories in a mix and match style, to give your car that unique, one of a kind look. These lights are fabulous ways to make the look of your car match your personality.

How to read a digital caliper correctly?

October 24, 2008 by 1topstore2008

Make sure the digital caliper reads zero when closed. Set it for inches or millimeters. Put the jaws on the outside (or inside) of the item to be measured. Slide the digital caliper against the item (not tight enough to deform it). Read the numbers.
