What is the best company to buy a custom model aircraft?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

StockJunkie asked:

I’m looking for the model aircraft to be of high quality, made from resin or maghony. I would like a simple, but custom paint job on the aircraft. I need the aircraft to be delivered in 4 weeks.

The model I’m looking to purchase is a Challenger 300, 604 or 605, possibly even the Citation X.

Thanks for any recommendations and or advice!

What are the signs that airport guides make when an aircraft is taxiing to the gate?

Friday, June 26th, 2009

presidentrichardnixon asked:

I think I understand the one that is directly in front of the aircraft, but what about the ones on the side. It looks like they just hold up a glow stick or orange stick with one hand and walk beside the airplane. What do they actually do?

What do we actually look for if we want to install the FDR on another aircraft. Do we need to develop a different FDR that suits the architecture of the specific aircraft or we only need to do some changes in the data acquisition units?
