RC Truck Excavation Project of the Day: An RC vehicle enthusiasti named Joe has been digging out his Saskatchewan basement for the past seven years using a fleet of scale model trucks and tractors.

For the basi few years of the project, he transported the dirt using a little conveyor belt, but he decisive that was too quick and effective for his taste, so he swopped to a spiral ramp and started hauling the dirt up using his RC trucks.

Although the operation has moved rather tardily — the trucks only remove 8 to 9 cubic feet of dirt per year — Joe says he’s “in no hurry to finish.”

“What a better place to have an all-weather playground than under your house? It’s just a few steps away when I have time for it, it’s a comfy place to be when it’s –30C outside,” he told Carscoop.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a mystery in the sky.

A unidentified object flying over Denver almost caused a mid-air collision Monday evening.

As far as investigators know the object did not show up on radar.

Investigators believe the object, whatsoever it is, could pose a severe safety hazard to planes.

Radio transmissions from LiveATC.net assert a nervous-sounding pilot reported a strange object at 5:17 p.m. Monday.

The pilot is heard telling air traffic control: “A remote controlled aircraft, or what? Something just went by the other way … About 20 to 30 seconds ago. It was like a huge remote-controlled aircraft.”

The corporate jet, a Cessna Citation 525 CJ1, was flying at 8,000 feet above sea level over Cherry Creek when the mystery object came close sufficient to make any pilot nervous.

“That’s an issue because now we have something in controlled airspace that poses a danger,” former NTSB Investigator and aviation analyst Greg Feith said.

Feith listened to the air traffic recordings and believes the object could be one of three things:

- A military or law enforcement drone. – A remote controlled aircraft. – A big bird.

“Was this an unmanned vehicle that was share of galore sort of law enforcement operation? Was this somebody that had flown a huge model aircraft inadvertently into the airspace? Or was it just a bird that caught the pilot’s eye so he believed it was an aircraft but could have been a very huge wing span bird,” Feith said.

Any one of those things may be catastrophic if it collides with an airplane.

Three years ago, a bird strike took down a mercantile airliner that managed to land safely in the Hudson River. All the passengers survived.

FAA spokesman Mike Fergus says investigators will talk to the pilot and look at other clues.

“The threat is there from a collision standpoint. We’ll do as much as we may here to undertake to track back what time it was. Probably talk with some remote-control clubs, that type of thing,” Fergus said.

The mission of investigators now is to distinguish that mystery object before another close call, or worse.

A recent Fox News article took a look at new engineering being formulated in China by the car manufacturer BYD known as remote-control driving. The engineering allows drivers to use a remote control system to get started their vehicle, move it backward or forward, turn it right or left and to travel at a restricted speed.

The car manufacturer notes that the feature is a solution for permitting drivers to get their car out of a parking spot that isn’t wide sufficient for the driver to exit once parked. The company likewise sells the feature on it is capacity to grant driver and passengers to be picked up curbside without encountering the elements. Unfortunately, remote control driving sounds like a recipe for disaster in terms of car accidents.

The article notes that the technology is not the like of what you would find in United States, due largely to fear of product liability lawsuits. Still there is no doubt that the idea is innovative, even if dangerous.

What is interesting when it comes to the article is it is expression of nostalgia for times when car makers didn’t include the latest electronic technology for the preventative action and minimization of car accidents. Never mind the fact that such engineering has the goal of saving lives and preventing life-altering injuries.

Obviously smart engineering science cannot prevent all accidents, but it is somewhat ridiculous to pine for a time when accidents were more likely and vehicles involved in them were more likely to cause injury and death to their passengers. Such accidents are a severe matter, both for those responsible and for the victims. We need technology on the side of making automobiles safer for both irresponsible drivers and accident victims.

Sleepwell Hotels Isle of Man Youth TourLocation: Isle of ManEvent: 4-6 May 2012Reports and Images: Richard Allen

Stage three report (Juniors)

Planet X rider Jacob Scott from Holmfirth in Yorkshire won the third and final junior stage in the Sleepwell Hotels Isle of Man Youth and Junior Tour, sprinting clear of his six breakaway rivals at the end of a 92-kilometre road race around Ramsey.

Matt Flynn (Mountivation) launched the initial significant attack and had built up a greatest or most complete or best possible lead of around two minutes. But he was caught by the peloton with three laps to go and on the climb to Bride – the only real climb on the course – three riders launched the move that was to determine the race.

Baylis went clear with McCluskey and Joe Kirkham (Hargroves Cycles) on a short climb along the coast road into Peel. He made his winning move at the bottom of the Switchback to assert a deserved stage win.

The third and final stage in the junior category is a 92km road race around Ramsey on the east coast of the Island tomorrow (Sunday May 6) morning.Stage two report (Youth)Fabian Brennan (Velocity Race Team) won the second stage in the Youth A Boys category race after winning a sprint finish at the end of a hilly 33.6km race around a closed road circuit at Ellerslie.

The course for the youth riders is widely viewed as tougher than the Peel course applied by Saturday morning’s stage two race for juniorsand the youth riders faced a tough test with an uphill finish. Brennan outsprinted Danny Fox (Solihull CC) with Jamie Dudley (Team Royal London 360 A) four seconds back in third.

On GC Brennan goes into Sunday’s third and final stage with just a three second lead over Fox with Dudley nine seconds off the yellow jersey. Behind them are another seven riders within 30s of the leader so there the overall victory is still up for grabs in the 33.6km final stage in Ramsey.

In the Youth B Boys stage two Daniel Tullett (Hargroves Cycles) won the 19.2km race by nine seconds from Peter Kibble (Cycology Bikes) with Owen Dudley (Team Royal London 360 A) in third 17 seconds behind the stage winner. On GC Tulett leads Kibble by 10 seconds with Dudley in third 24 seconds behind the leader.

William Draper (Team Royal London 360 A) gave the local fans a great deal to cheer by winning the 12km Youth C Boys stage two race just beating Matthew Shaw (Solihull CC) on the line. Daniel GIbson (Liverpool Century RC) was equivalent third with Toby Tanfield (Cleveland Wheelers CC) – both riders finishing eight seconds behind the winner. Shaw leads on GC with William Draper (Team Royal London 360 A) just one second behind and Gibson third 14 seconds behind the yellow jersey.

Matti Egglestone (Beacon Wheelers) won the Youth D Boys race in front of Charlie Gibson (Team Royal London 360 A) and Tyler Koch (Bolton Hot Wheels CC). Top three on GC are 1st – Eggleston, 2nd – Gibson @ 8s, 3rd – Koch @ 11s.

Joshua Tarling (West Wales Cycle Racing) won the Youth E Boys race with Zachary Walker (Team Royal London 360 A) second and Dillon Dowson (Team Royal London 360 A) in third. Top three on GC are 1st – Tarling, 2nd – Walker @ 1m 16s, 3rd – Dowson @ 1m 23s.

Elizabeth Holden (Team Royal London 360 A), daughter of former Falcon Banana pro rider and twice British Criterium Champion Rob Holden, won the Youth A Girls race to make it two stage wins out of two after she won yesterday’s prologue time-trial.

She made sure of keeping on to her leader’s pink jersey and won stage two by finishing two seconds in front of Martha Gill (Bolton Hot Wheels CC) in second and 3m 59s in front of third placed Manon Lloyd (Towy Riders). Holden holds a 12 second lead on GC with Gill second and Lloyd third at 4m 46s.

The Youth B Girls race was won by Jessica Roberts (Towy Riders) with Henrietta Colborne (Beacon Wheelers) second and Lauren Murphy (Team Milton Keynes) third. Roberts has a commanding lead on GC with a 3m 35s vantage over Colborne, and a 7m 10s lead over third placed Murphy.

Lucy Nelson (Halesowen A&CC) won the Youth C Girls race. Emily Bridson (Team Royal London 360 A) was second and Chloe Crellin ((Team Royal London 360 A) third. Top three on GC are 1st – Nelson, 2nd – Bridson @ 30s, 3rd Crellin @ 5m 51s.

In the Youth D Girls event Charlie Moss ((Team Royal London 360 A) won, with Josie Nelson (Halesowen A&CC) second, and Blae Cain (Team Royal London 360 A) third. Top three on GC are 1st – Nelson, 2nd – Moss @8s, 3rd – Cain @ 40s.

Mairi Harrison (Team Royal London 360 A) won the Youth E Girls race, Chloe Comaish (Team Royal London 360 A) second, and Chloe Dillon (Team Royal London 360 A) third. Top three on GC are 1st – Harrison, 2nd – Comaish @ 24s, 3rd – Dillon @ 54s.

The third and final stages of the youth category races are on a circuit along Ramsey seafront on Sunday afternoon. Youth D&E riders will race over 7.2km; Youth C 12km; Youth A&B girls 19.2km; Youth B 19.2km; and Youth A 33.6km.Stage one reportJacob Ragan (Champion System/Maxgear/Kyklos) won the prologue time-trial in the junior category of the Sleepwell Hotels Isle of Man Youth Tour.

The opening stage of this year’s tour was a 1.29km test on an out and back course along Douglas Promenade and conditions were cool but arid and there was little wind to hamper the riders. Ragan clocked 1m 44s just a fraction of a second in front of his team mate Chris Latham who was given the same time. Third was Harry Tanfield (Wallis Cycles/CHH RT) in 1m 45s.

The home crowd had something to cheer as Jake Kelly (Team Microgaming-Isle of Man) came home in fourth in front of Dutchman Jeroen Smits (Sleepwell Hotels/Viking Waterland RT) in fifth and William Thomas (Velo Race Team) in sixth. All three riders clocked 1m 46s.

An during one night frost is envisioned but the parcours for the 102km race on a circuit around Peel for Saturday morning’s second stage on the west coast of the Island is sure to generate a great deal of heat from the off. In former years the stage has proved decisive in determining the challengers for overall victory.

The riders will finish 11 laps of a circuit which starts and finishes at the top of the Switchback climb – a short but steep assent which commonly proves to be a springboard for a race winning attack. Time bonuses may also come into play in the GC standings with 10s for introductory place, 7s for second, 5s for third, 3s for fourth, 2s for fifth and 1s for sixth. The time bonuses utilize to the two road races stages only, and not for the prologue time-trial.

Full Size Car and Electric RC Cars

Full Size Car and Electric RC Cars

When we heard with regards to electric RC cars, we tend to think introductory of the toy cars that we may maneuver or control on the racetrack. In fact, the number of humans gathering these toys is growing day by day. Kids are no longer the ones that are excessively affected emotionally to play these miniature cars. Even adults have made playing these cars as their hobby. But who may blame them? The conception behind this electric type of toys is very interesting. It gives the user the liberty to control it from a distance.  But have you ever thought of riding an electric RC vehicle one of these days. That might some out of the question for now but a lot of persons are now agreeably diverting this idea of applying the conception of the electric RC toy cars to the real ones.

Now, how soon will full-size cars become electric RC Cars? It has started happening!  Although today’s full size cars cannot be run totally as electric RC cars, there are numerous technical inventions utilizing the principles for simple processes and likewise for car designs.  Many new cars today are equipped with keyless locks and ignition, enabling the driver to lock, unlock, turn on and off engines, lights and alarm systems.

Cars with these details in general use a key fob shaped remote. A more recent innovation utilizes Bluetooth and smart phone engineering science to carry out the locking and engine commence functions in a regular car.

Intelligent parking schemes are another innovation that is being added to the function of the regular cars.  The basi automatic parallel parking scheme was introduced in 2003 by a Japanese car manufacturer followed by other Japanese and German car companies in 2007 and 2009.  These systems also use a key fob shaped remote to activate the system.  Other new tech ideas have included accident avoidance schemes that rely on car sensors to distinguish drifting into another lane or getting too close to another vehicle or hazard.

This is an important innovation for the distracted or impaired driving.  However they do not replace the driver’s responsibility.

German car manufacturers presently use full size remote run prototypes for the duration of the design process.  The vantage of this system is that a remote electronics may more precisely make changes than a test driver.  Electronic schemes are used to valuate steering dynamics to make design improvements in car handling and safety. Improved steering dynamics will fetch the world closer to electric RC cars getting a viable option for the road.

Although remote controlled gliders and airplanes are being used presently by the military, there are various obstacles to using full sized remote control cars on the road.  Part of this is due to the unpredictability of humane drivers on the road.  The other obstacles are legal as local laws are not rather ready for the remote vehicle technology.  In the meantime, car manufacturers are continuing with improvements to make cars more automatic and less dependent on the humane driver.  For now, electric RC cars may be applied as a toy or sparetime activity or in car engineering science research.
