So You Would Like A Remote Controlled Chopper?

January 29th, 2012 by Owen Jones

If you want to start flying or even making radio controlled helicopters, the best manner to start is at the beginning and the start is with small electric, 7″-8″ long, battery-powered models. These models are very cheap compared to a year ago, when they cost $100-$120 each. Now you can buy one for $20.

There is practically no assembly work with these small RC helicopters, although you might have to secure the rotors and insert the battery and a child could do that. However, you are not buying this model in order to learn assembly, you are buying it in order to learn flight management.

These small remote control choppers normally have three channel-control, which gives you control over flight in three directions: up – down; left – right and forwards – backwards.

This sounds very easy, but you will crash your RC helicopter, because you do not know what you are doing and you are not into any routines. You have almost certainly not learned to judge distance and height either.

First, you will crash into things and make rough landings. Second, you will misjudge distances, height and flight time.

These latter are important because, your transmitter and receiver have a working distance of around 30 feet and if you model goes outside that range, you lose control over it – anything could occur!

In addition, the battery will power the chopper for around 5-7 minutes. If the chopper is 25 feet off the ground when the battery fails, you will have a serious crash on your hands.

Luckily, these little models are very sturdy with a metal frame, so you will almost certainly only lose a couple of rotors, which are not costly or difficult to replace. If you trash the whole thing, you have just lost $20, but what if your model cost $500 and you were only starting out? That would be a costly manner to learn flying RC helicopters, would it not?

These small model helicopters will put up with lots of rough treatment, but you will need spares and these spares can be purchased. Parts are readily obtainable and it is worth purchasing spare main and rear rotors as you buy your model. This is doing you good.

If you choose to move up a degree after a time, you will comprehend how practical your practice with a small RC helicopter has been, even though you can just learn so much from these small choppers. Larger models, say a six or eight foot model will have a lot more controls and need much more maintenance, so start small and learn.

One thing that you will be able to do with your small model will be to use it for photographic purposes. Birds might entirely ignore them, so if you strap a small, lightweight contemporary video camera to it, you will be able to get special footage of local birds. You may even get able to sell aerial photographs of your neighbours’ gardens, with their permission, naturally.

Having Fun As An Adult With Toys

January 27th, 2012 by Owen Jones

Someone who has a toy hobby is normally an adult. After all, all children collect toys – the more the merrier for them, but a person who has a toy hobby normally collects one type of toy – like, say, train sets or a precise make of train set. These adults keep their childhood fascination with fantasy. They are not childish, but are childlike whilst they start talking on the topic of or playing with their favourite toys.

Some toy hobbyists like to share their hobby with children, frequently grandparents come into this category, and some toy hobbyists do not, frequently single men who are scared that children may damage their often valuable collection.

These collections of toys can get very valuable, because toy hobbyists tend to collect the toys from their youth, so a grandparent is mostly collecting toys from fifty or sixty years ago.

A favourite toy hobby for women is collecting antique dolls or dolls from other countries. Occasionally this interest in dolls will spill over into an interest for dolls’ prams or dolls’ clothes and they might start to make dolls’ clothes and even their own garments. Some women and some men too get into making dolls and even dolls’ houses.

Rag dolls are a distinct favourite both for the collector and the crafter because they are easy to manufacture and easy to repair. Teddy bears could also be put in the category of dolls. Numerous homes have a small collection of teddy bears if there have been children brought up there and it is not strange to see hundreds of teddy bears on shelves dotted around a house.

Lots of older men collect train sets or model cars. Hornby, Marxs, Marklin and Lionel come to mind for train sets and Matchbox and Dinky for small but detailed, die cast model cars. Tonka is famous for larger, maybe less detailed, model trucks, but people liked to play with their bulldozers, trucks and earth-movers as children.

More contemporary toys that have become collectible include Beanie Babies. Beanie Babies are childlike representations of babies. So there are baby kangaroos, baby elephants, in fact babies of every type of animal you can think of and each one has its own distinct personality.

They are inexpensive and lovable and there are hundreds of them – just the blend that some collectors want. Teddy bear collectors often have a couple of Beanie Babies too.

Other well-liked toy hobbies are flying radio-controlled, powered model aircraft and racing motor-powered radio-controlled cars and trucks. There are also hobbyists that collect or and make radio-controlled boats. Some collectors of radio-controlled aircraft, boats and vehicles might not like being referred to as toy hobbyists, but it is what they are after all.

Wooden toys have always been well-liked as well. A hundred years ago and further, all toys would have been made of wood, particularly those of the working class and there are still a lot of parents and grandparents who like to give or make wooden toys themselves. A toy hobby is a great pastime for those who remember their childhood fondly and never really got out of the habit of playing.

Buying Safe Toys

December 19th, 2011 by Owen Jones

We are fortunate in the West, or most of it anyway, because the European Community, north America and Canada have strict laws on how safe kids’ toys should be.

In spite of this, there are lots of unscrupulous people about who will import cheap junk toys that could be dangerous to children, which means that anyone purchasing kids’ toys has to have their wits about them.

Having said that, the larger stores do do their best to weed out the rogue importers and in fact most of the dangerous children’s toys are weeded out before they go on sale. Be wary in discount shops and open-air markets though.

Once you get your safe kids’ toys home, the time to be cautious starts. This is because most accidents in the home relating to toys do not happen to the person that the toys were purchased for. This is because adults trip over them. The stairs are the most dangerous

The first thing that anyone buying toys should look for is the label. In the United States this is known as the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) and in Europe it is known as the Certificat European (CE). However, be wary, because these labels can be faked very easily.

If you are not used to purchasing toys for children, the next indicator to look for is the age range for which the toy is meant. Typically the marker will give 5+ or 7-12, so you still have to use some judgment.

Educational toys are critical to children and one of the best of these that you can build on as the child gets older is Lego. Duplo is the kind of Lego that is most suitable for very young children.

This is because Duplo building blocks are larger than the normal Lego building blocks so that tiny hands can manage them easily.

One of the biggest risks for very young children is choking. Young children put everything into their mouths but Lego has made these Duplo building blocks too large to swallow.

As your child grows older, you can add to the Lego set right up to adulthood. There are Lego electric motors for teenagers and there are many adults that have continued using Lego well past their Twenties.

If however your child does have an mishap with a toy, you should endeavour to find out how it happened immediately after seeing to your child.

If the accident was obviously the child’s fault or someone else’s, you can report it if you like, but if the difficulty came about because of a difficulty or failure inherent in the toy, you ought to report it.

The first place to report the toy is to the local council and then you must inform the manager of the shop where you purchased it. Hold onto the toy until the wheels of bureaucracy turn enough to get around to you

They will get back to you and you might save other children and their parents from going through the same difficulties that you did.

How To Measure Children’s Dolls For Clothing

December 15th, 2011 by Owen Jones

Do you fancy manufacturing a doll’s dress for your own doll or a friends? Or how about some other articles of clothing like a trouser suit, pyjamas or a night shirt?

If you have never done it before, it is not that difficult to create a decent job of making dolls’ clothing, but you will have to take measurements, just as in real life.

It is a good idea to know the full length of the doll, but there are no garments that actually cover from head to toe unless you are designing a ghost’s fancy dress costume for the doll. Be careful with the chest measurement as well.

You cannot estimate it because dolls, both male and female, tend to have larger chests than proportion would imply that they should be. Just look at Barbie and Ken, they could probably hold their breath for ten minutes!

Similarly, the inside leg measurements tend to be overstated and the waist way undersized. This is why it is so essential to measure the doll or if the dolls’ clothing is to be a surprise, measure one like it. From waist to the hem is enough for a skirt or from neck to the hemline for a dress.

If you are manufacturing trousers, you will need the inside leg and the outside leg to the waist band or hips, depending on the style. Then you will also require the waist or the hip measurement and the combined thigh measurement for skirts and dresses or individual thigh dimensions for trousers or slacks.

If you are measuring for a top or the top of a dress, you will need the measurements from the sternum to the centre of the armpit and from there to the centre of the other armpit.

In numerous ways, measuring a doll for clothing is equivalent to measuring humans, but on the other hand, the dimensions can have a great deal more tolerance because seams do not come under stress from movement with dolls. It is quite easy to just use common sense whilst measuring dolls for clothing, but practice will make perfect.

One of the best habits that you can get into is making notes and making sketches. After you have become proficient enough at manufacturing dolls’ clothing, you might be able to sell your produce and maybe even sell your pattern book as well, if they are all your original ideas.

Tailoring or dressmaking for dolls can be great fun and children will certainly appreciate a new, unique costume for their doll, but then you will see that for yourself the first time you present your little niece, nephew or friend with one of your latest creations.

Christmas Shopping Tactics

November 14th, 2011 by Owen Jones

Christmas shopping can be seen as an absolute thrill or as a compulsory evil. It is a thrill to be out and about amid the sights and sounds of the season and the cheerful crowds. But for the same reasons, others fear shopping at Christmas time. These days, you do not need to leave your home much or at all to get your Christmas and holiday shopping completed. That is because the Internet puts shopping at your fingertips and rather than competing with traditional retail stores, the Internet has in fact expanded the ability of traditional stores to sell more products to a bigger number of people in a bigger number of places.

Both large and small retailers can be found at their specialized Web sites on the Internet. Most will also offer items that can be found in the store. However, online retail sites will often have additional products for sale, or access to additional products, that are not yo be found in the store.

Another benefit of shopping on the Internet is that it offers access to stores situated anywhere in the world. It has therefore become simpler to order a unique present from a niche or specialty boutique store in locations that you otherwise would not be able to reach. It is also easy to do comparison shopping using ’shop bots’ or simply by comparing prices yourself.

If Christmas shopping is done through the Internet, you have to pay careful heed to the order times and any cut-off dates to get an item delivered in time for Christmas. Based on likely volume, most sites will give a date or the number of hours within which orders have to be confirmed for guaranteed delivery of the products before Christmas.

The precinct is a well-liked place for traditional Christmas and holiday shopping. Precincts offer one-stop shopping and have a huge assortment of merchandise, which can minimize the endless searching of dozens of stores for some special item. The stores will also be delightfully decorated for Christmas, have splendid displays and a Santa Claus to interact with children. These and other activities that are usually at the precinct during Christmas and the holidays also make them an attractive setting to take children to enjoy some of the season’s delights.

To maximum benefit from shopping at the mall, you will need to know the discrepancies between the mall department stores. You will need to find out which stores have elite brands, which stores are moderately priced and which are more up-market.

There are also the specialty stand-alone stores and spinoff store branches for kids and teenagers that try to fill a particular niche. As an example, stores have emerged that carry only styles related to hip-hop culture or styles that have an ‘urban’ look. So it may be worthwhile beginning your shopping at a specialty store, because they are more focused, and then continue onto a department store that has a broader assortment.

Another interesting place to shop in precincts are the stand-alone kiosks that are frequently located at intervals in the open areas of a mall where there is a lot of foot traffic. These kiosks are more likely to carry one-of-a kind items, which can provide ideas for Christmas gifts.

Also at precincts will be dedicated shops that offer home/household products, books, music and movies, electronics, sports gear and shoes.

All of the sorts of mall stores previously mentioned can also be found at Outlet or Factory Malls or Warehouses, which offer lower prices. These stores frequently carry clearance items from their associated precinct store, merchandise with minor flaws and merchandise that is made for the outlet. Those products of merchandise usually have minor style variations from what is found in mall stores and may also be manufactured from different materials.

A final place to mull over for Christmas shopping is downtown businesses. They are usually small and personal, have unique offerings and offer more personalized support. Although downtown businesses are also likely to be crowded at Christmas time, there is likely to be less of a crush of people than that found at the malls.

Hornby Model Train Sets

November 9th, 2011 by Owen Jones

It was not long ago that I saw pleasure on a young boy?s face as he unwrapped his birthday gift of a Hornby train set that was put on the floor on the morn of his birthday. My nephew spent that extraordinary day putting together the layout and proudly running the train set around the track.

Lots of us may have thought that video and computer games have taken the awareness of young boys away from Hornby train sets, but I have discovered that this is far from the truth. There are still many fathers and grandfathers that get pleasure from receiving these gifts for their sons/grandsons solely out of the enjoyment they also obtain from them.

Hornby, the UK brand leader in train sets, has manufactured train sets that can be customized to any desire and age for many decades. They are talented at bringing out striking train sets that have been made with a good deal of care and attention. You will find a diverse range of train sets in a variety of places,

You can purchase new train sets, but also valuable secondhand sets from decades ago. Pre-owned train sets cain be less expensive than new ones, but not always. You can also purchase a wide assortment of stations, huts and other items to go with the set.

It is immense fun developing model railway layouts with these train sets using your own imagination and creativity. Purchasing an attractive starter kit could be the beginning to collecting a large railway track.

Most Hornby train sets also come with a Hornby Track Mat, mains electricity transformer, train controller and other accessories.

You can augment your enjoyment from your Hornby train set collection by adding further wagons, coaches and other accessories to make unique, innovative railtracks. Hornby has been constructing train sets for many decades and so there is a lucrative secondhand market too.

Even a novice to this fascinating and fulfilling hobby will find something to cater to his/her needs, and it is not surprising to know that there are many stores ready to provide free and valuable advice for constructing a unique and satisfying collection.

Starting your exciting set of Hornby train sets would be best achieved with a Flying Scotsman steam engine or the latest Nigel Gresley inspired Peregrine Locomotive or Eorostar or the Virgin Trains 125 set. The choice available is broad, so you should find something to suit you.

Many children and their parents and grandparents have discovered a immense amount of satisfaction when they bought and built up this brand leader?s train sets. Hornby train sets not only gave them the satisfaction of doing something that they had always wanted to do, but also the elation of fulfilling a young child?s ambition as well.

The Most Amazing Hobby

October 6th, 2011 by Owen Jones

There are tens of thousands of hobbies, aren’t there? Some seem pointless, others offer a opportunity for self-improvement and others offer the chance to make some money, but what is the most amazing hobby of them all?

It is so amazing that the overwhelming majority of individuals on the planet have taken part in it and do on a ordinary basis. It fascinates millions of individuals every day.

Or ought I to say each night, because I am referring to amateur astronomy or, more basically, star gazing. Every sighted person in the world throughout the history of mankind, has looked up at the planets and the stars in the night sky and wondered something. Individuals ask themselves different questions, but everyone has pondered something whilst gazing at the stars.

Astronomy is a excellent hobby that surely everyone is interested in. It is there to do, free of charge nearly all nights of the week if the sky is clear. If you would like to see more, you can get a pair of binoculars and if you want to study objects even further away, you can buy a telescope.

Neither of these optical aids is highly expensive at the entry level, but the difference they will make to your level of enjoyment of the hobby is, well, amazing.

Books on astronomy are not expensive and they will guide the greenhorn in the right direction for seeing all types of amazing sights: constellations, planets, meteor storms, visiting comets etc..

There is also a wealth of free knowledge on line. Join Jodrell Bank (the British Observatory) on Twitter to be kept informed about what is happening in the night sky in the near future in your region.

This is a different fascinating aspect of this hobby, visiting observatories, where you get the chance to observe the universe from as close as we can be and still be on terra firma. If you have never looked at the night sky through a huge telescope (or even any telescope), you have a huge treat in store for yourself.

Children adore astronomy and I have heard numerous well-known astronomers say that their love of astronomy started while a relative pointed to the night sky and explained something to them. This led to getting out library books on astronomy and asking for a telescope for Christmas. Twenty years later they are on television explaining some astronomical fact to the nation.

That is amazing. Not lots of chess players or stamp collectors or football fans can claim the same. And there is still so much to learn about the solar system. Everybody has a chance to try to explain something. Even though most of the ’simple stuff’ has already been discovered, it has not all been explained to the satisfaction of all astronomers.

If you are not so interested in astronomy yourself or do not have the time, why not give the opportunity to some child you know? Instead of the usual Christmas or birthday presents, give a book on astronomy, binoculars or a telescope, you could be encouraging the next Patrick Moore, but at least you will be introducing someone to the most amazing hobby in the world or even in the universe.

How To Fly Your Remote Controlled Chopper

September 24th, 2011 by Owen Jones

The majority of micro remote controlled choppers are made for indoor flying and might be used outdoors only under the most perfect weather conditions, because they can easily be blown off course. These micro RC choppers can be controlled in three flight paths: up – down, forwards – backwards and left – right.

This means that the model is capable of quite remarkably specific manoeuvres. In spite of that, accidents do and will occur. ornaments will get knocked off the mantelpiece and some windows may get broken, if the flier is not cautious or adept.

So, it is best to practice in the garage or garden shed or even outdoors in fine weather until a reasonable level of ability has been gained. it ought to not take long with these mini flying machines.

They are great fun, the sole real drawback is that the small battery will just give between five and seven minutes flying time. Luckily, it just takes 30 minutes to recharge the battery with the AC mains charger or the USB computer-cum-transmitter charger.

Lots of of the indoor helicopters are padded softly so that they cannot do much damage to windows, heads and the like, but not all of them. Some have a metal body so that it can better protect the motors from crashes. If you would like to make one of these far less risky, try sticking some foam rubber to the front of the model.

However, physically bumping into things is not the only problem that indoor RC helicopters can cause. As with all helicopters, the foremost rotors create quite a downdraft, which can blow items about or off shelves. A letter put behind a vase may catch the draft, move and knock the vase off the shelf.

While you are flying model aircraft of any sort, you must be continuously aware of the health and safety of others. Learn to judge the diameter that the top rotors cover.

With these smaller craft, the sweep of the rotors usually extends well in front of the helicopter, which could be a hazard to eyes and faces. Never fly your chopper where someone may turn a corner and walk straight into it. You have to assume responsibility for your model whether you fly it into someone or they unpredictably walk into it.

Children are not usually the ones most at danger from a flying helicopter, because you normally fly over their heads. However, most flights will be at a height of about six feet, so adults beware. If you make a decision to fly your indoor chopper outside, there are extra safety concerns.

Power lines are a major worry whilst flying your helicopter outside in a town.You can do lots of damage to power lines and you would be responsible for any financial cost incurred.

Two of the main benefits of starting flying a micro RC chopper are that: one] you learn how to control the model, mastering fundamental tricky flight manoeuvres two] you learn health and safety procedures, which will serve you well if you move on to a larger, more powerful radio controlled helicopter.

The Intelligent Sport of Archery

September 23rd, 2011 by Owen Jones

Archery requires flawless hand-eye coordination and a steady hand. In this situation, a steady hand does not come from not drinking alcohol, but by being so strong that the archer is not straining to draw the string and hold it when taking aim.

Rapid fire archery necessitates fast reflexes You could say that these qualities are desired for other objectives in general life and that may be a fact, but archery is the one sport that requires them all.

Shooting a gun accurately takes some of these skills too, but it does not need great strength and rapid fire is only a question of pulling the trigger or even holding it back. It is the case that when guns were developed, archers looked down on riflemen, because they did not require the same level of training to be good shots.

This is one of the main factors why guns took over from bows. It took 10-15 years to train a long bowman, but merely a couple of weeks to train a rifleman. It was compulsory in England and Wales for all men and boys to train with their longbows at the village butts on a Sunday where they were watched over and taught by the local sheriff’s militia.

The long bowman was a respected figure, because everybody knew the commitment and skill it took to be an accurate archer. This was not merely a fact in Great Britain, but in each country in the world (except Australia) as far as we know.

Proof of archery, but not the longbow, has been discovered everywhere from Europe to Asia and some of it goes back 12,000 years, which is a long time for a bit of timber to last, especially when a fractured bow would frequently have been a household item which could be burned on the fire as fuel.

Prior to the invention of the bow, huntsmen and warriors used the atlatl (or woomera, in Aborigine Australian), which is a long, grooved stick used to launch a one-metre long dart at almost 100 mph. There is evidence that the atlatl was being used by Homo heidelbergensis 400,000 years ago in modern day Germany.

The longbow and the flat bow were most commonly used in northern Europe where most soldiers marched into battle as only knights (nobility) had horses. However, in most other countries, where a lot of the fighting was carried out from horseback or from chariots, a shorter bow was used as it was less cumbersome and easier to move across the horse’s neck to fire left and right.

The longbow and the flat bow were around six feet in length and had a characteristic draw weight of over 60 lbs but up to 100 lbs, which would fire a three-foot arrow up to 1,000 yards.

The shorter bows were recurve bows and although lighter to draw, it took a significant amount of ability to hit a target whilst travelling at speed on the back of a horse or bouncy chariot.

There are two ways of aiming any bow: by sight and by intuition. In sight shooting, the archer aims down the arrow and lines it up with the target making an allowance for distance, wind, movement etc, but in intuitive shooting, the archer only concentrates on the target. Intuitive shooting might come after lots of sight shooting practice.

The Joys Of A G Gauge Train Set

September 23rd, 2011 by Owen Jones

Have you ever seen the eyes of a young child while they watch a sibling or friend get a train set as a present? They would like to play with it also but cannot because they are so young.

However, there are train sets on the market that the young ones can enjoy as well. The G gauge train set is the perfect choice.

This train set is also a wonderful toy if you are looking for a train to put around your Christmas tree or outside in the garden, but it does require a bit of space.

This train set hardly ever derails which is why it would be best for younger children. The track is large enough at 45mm that a child could place a car back on it with very little problem. The track is strong enough that it will not get hurt if it is trodden on.

There are two sizes of straight and curved track available for the G gauge train set. This train set does have not so many accessories obtainable than most of the other scales.

However, by shopping around one might find quite a variety of engines, cabooses, box and passenger carriages to fit their requirements. There are also landscaping, tunnels, lights, and other items that can be purchased to fit this kind of train set.

The cars come in different sizes. The average size is about 17 ?? long by 4 ?? wide by 6 ?? high. There are some that might be shorter or a little longer. The locomotive is around 26.7? long.

A lot of the carriages and track are manufactured from brass. This is so they will hold up to bad weather conditions and are durable. Brass also makes for easy polishing.

Power is supplied by battery, transformer, or DCC. A battery or DCC can get quite costly to use. If you decide on the transformer be sure that it is powerful enough to run the train that you buy.

The G scale train set normally comes in a box and finished to be fitted together once it is opened. Other pieces may be purchased to make the set as you want it.

Storage may be somewhat difficult if you decide to set this up in your garden. If you have a shed big enough it could be slid in there without having to take it to pieces. Big totes are a safe manner to transport a train of this size.

There are numerous manufactures on the market that make this sort of train set. Each offers many items that can go with this set. Prices differ according to the amount of track and amount of rolling stock and manufacturer.

Looking on the web is a good way of seeing what each manufacturer has to offer and the prices they are asking.

Many of the larger chain shops carry them as do a few the smaller model stores as well. A train of this size would keep any child of any age content for hours. It would be a learning experience with the possibility of becoming a life-long leisure pursuit for some.
