Personal Narrative: How To Start Your Helicopter

Most people are all grown up when they finally figure out what they want to do with their life. I was 4. I realized what I wanted to be when I attended my very first Rodeo. Even though it was so long ago I can remember that day like it was yesturday. That day got me on the path to my future.

Growing up in the United States I had an instant love for cars and anything with an engine. I have had these interests since a very young age. The kind of things I grew up around have a lot to do with why I have such an addiction for speed and adrenaline. Ever since I was a little boy racing has been a part of me. I love the competitiveness of it and the adrenaline that I get every time I pull up to the staging line; I really just love everything about it. I have always loved the smell of burnt race gas and the sound of a built big-block screaming down the track. Ever since I can remember as far as my memory goes back I remember being there at the track every weekend watching my dad and his friend’s race. I can remember barely being old enough

The type of broom you use will determine the preferred speed of the equipment. The size of the bristles, slope, environment and weather will all alter the speed and pressure you best operate at. When you turn on the engine, raise the broom head and allow it to run for 10 minutes.16 Do this at a low speed as it gives a hydraulic system a chance to warm up. 16

turn the fuel petcock to reserve and drain for a second or so. Step four is

Flying alone for the first time when you're seven years old is definitely not an easy thing to do. Not many people can say they have done that at such a young age, or even flown on a plane at all! I started flying when I was five, and flew about four times a year. I moved to Idaho when I was five so I did a lot of flying back and forth from Salt Lake City, Utah to Dallas, Texas. When I found out I was going to be flying by myself, I wasn't scared since I had flown so many times, but I wasn't excited either. I had many thoughts rolling through my head suc as where would I be sitting or who I could talk too. I am someone who is very atached to my mom and dad, so I feel very uncomfortable alone. Before my flight my mom kept reminding me that she would take me all the way to the gate, and that everything was going to be okay. With her comforting words I relaxed, and told myself I would be just fine.

I always find myself staring blankly at my computer screen. The cursor flashes, mocking me, and the only word I have written is ‘the.’ I close my eyes, trying to think of all the things I did over the summer and in the past four years, and somehow, my mind only draws up the lyrics to Beyonce’s “Run the World.”

“Hard right!” shouted my brother. Immediately, I threw the flight simulator into a massive right turn, hoping to line up for a shot at an enemy. Unfortunately for us, it was a little too massive, and we swung to the side, facing the wrong way. I wrestled the controls, and finally stabilized on target.

When Miguel appeared at the flight school where I was an instructor, there was no indication of the relationship we would develop or of the adventures we were destined to share. I would have laughed at anyone crazy enough to suggest that within a year he and I would pilot a single engine plane from Phoenix, Arizona to Santiago, Chile. No one could have predicted that along the way a woman in a remote village would try to give us her baby or that we would find ourselves buzzing an airstrip to chase away festival celebrants so we could land.

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” At the end of my life, I will wonder if I have fulfilled all of the purposes that I was meant to. Was I brave enough to follow a passion? Did I care so much about those around me that I was willing to give anything up for them? Was I courageous enough for others to say that even though I didn’t always reach the moon, I landed among the stars? The purpose of this essay is to communicate the values that are most important to me, the next steps I will take in my journey including the skills I need to improve on and, as I mentioned before, how I hope to be remembered when I am gone.

Ideally, you will want to prevent your fuel lines from freezing in the first place. You will want to start by keeping your battery fully charged. When the gas lines freeze, people normally try to start the engine multiple times before realizing that the line is blocked. If you do not have

Ever since I was in junior high school I have been fixated on remote control planes and small unmanned aerial vehicles. The interest ironically started out from a toy helicopter crash combined with my curiosity, igniting a life-long passion that eventually became my singular fixation and my ticket into the future. I built and crashed my first few planes before I joined a local group of hobbyists who were involved with the Tipton County Radio Control Club. They brought me to the top of an old, filled in landfill, now covered in lush, green grass that swayed with the slightest breeze blowing through the leaves of the surrounding trees. The designated flying field was at the highest point of the landfill. With well manicured fields still fresh with the scent of freshly mown grass, it stood in stark contrast

''Please,'' I yelled I really want a helicopter like Ariel''. I've been for a remote control helicopter since I was five. I thought it was so cool when my sister got one for her birthday,so for every birthday i would ask for one but i never got it.

It was my 16th birthday and my parents had decided to gift me a drone, thinking that I was responsible enough to use it without breaking it. All I can say is that they were mistaken. A few days after my birthday, I took the drone out for a flight and, me being an ignorant teenager, decided to fly the drone at top speeds without knowing how to control it properly. I ended up crashing the drone into my neighbor’s roof and hitting a tree before the drone landed. The drone was a monstrosity with pieces of wire hanging out, and the frame disfigured beyond belief. Out of fear of what my parents were going to do to me, I hid the drone in my garage and just acted like nothing had happened. Later that day, my mother came to my room and told me my cousins

Next is to install the camshaft retaining plate and bolts. Torque to spec, careful not to over torque as these are small bolts. Install the timing chain making sure the timing marks line up correctly, failure to do so will result in engine failure in the future. Thread in the camshaft bolt with a tab blue Loctite and torque to spec. Install the timing chain cover by running a bead of RTV around the gasket surface and place on the engine. A gasket can be used in place of RTV, however RTV will provide a better seal. Tighten bolts with thread sealant until RTV begins to squeeze out then let sit for an hour and torque to spec. This prevents all the RTV from squeezing out which results in a poor gasket. Install the water pump, use RTV to seal the surfaces and torque the bolts to specs. Install the harmonic balancer lining up the keyway with the crankshaft, apply a dot of RTV on the keyway to seal the key, torque the bolt to spec with blue Loctite. Place the front main seal on the timing cover and place the oil pan with gasket on the engine. Apply RTV to where the front/rear main seals meet the base gasket and finger tighten bolts. Wait one hour to torque bolts to specs to allow RTV to set up. Install the lifters and dog-bones to complete the short block.
