Th e class was made up of approximately 15 high school boys who are intereste d in aviation. On display we had numerous foam fixed-wing aircraft\, a gyr o copter\, a quad-copter and a large scale aerobatics 28 lb. airplane. In addition Joe Falconer brought his hexacopter with a 3 axis gimbal and live feed camera.\n\n \;\n\n[KGVID poster="https://dev.arvadamodelers.com/ wp-content/uploads/Legacy_HS_2015_thumb58.jpg" width="640" height="360"]ht tps://dev.arvadamodelers.com/wp-content/uploads/Legacy_HS_2015.mp4[/KGVID] \n\nTed started us off talking about the club and promoting our flight ins truction. The class gathered around the large scale aircraft that Ted brou ght. The students asked relevant and thoughtful questions about Ted’s ai rcraft. We discussed how the plane works\, the amount of electronics on bo ard and approximate costs. He tied it into AAM’s training program and th e students seemed very interested. Pat then talked about his aircraft and showed the functionality of his foam aircraft. There were a lot of questio ns for Pat about how much his aircraft cost and how hard it was to fly. De wey then told everyone about his scratch built gyro-copter and explained h ow stable the design was. Finally Joe explained his hexacopter and how the 3 axis gimbal works along with an explanation of the future of UAS. A lot of questions revolved around cost.\n\nOnce we were done with the conversa tion portion of the demo we went to the gymnasium to demonstrate the capab ilities of the multi-rotors. Pat went first and showed how stable his mult i-rotor was indoors.  Apparently if you can get the quad to use your head as a reference point it will follow you around as you walk. The students seemed to enjoy the demo that Pat gave. Joe was next to fly his hexacopter . He explained how he needed to calibrate the compass then gave a student a remote to control the camera. He also brought FPV equipment so the video signal was transmitted to a monitor the students could see. In addition J oe brought a pair of FatShark FPV goggles and the students took turns look ing through the goggles.\n\nThe flight portion was uneventful and the stud ents seemed to be enjoying themselves. Multiple people asked about the fli ght instruction that AAM offers. I expect we will see some of them at the field in the near future.
