NASHUA -- Peggy Kiefer of Chelmsford is prouder than ever of her grandson, Kiefer Savoie, these days, and not just because the Nashua High School North junior earned his pilot's license on his 17th birthday in October.

Savoie, who was named after his grandmother by his parents, Karen and Roland Savoie, has already somehow managed to get started on his own career path -- one very different from his father's CPA business -- all while maintaining National Honor Society grades and teaching a class weekly as an instructor of remote control cars at a charter school in Nashua.

Let the manifest note that the personality of the aspiring teen aeronautical engineer and military-academy pilot could not be any different from that

of William "Whip" Whitaker's, the fictional commercial-airline captain portrayed, partly upside down, by actor Denzel Washington in the 2012 movie Flight.
Q: When did you first know you wanted to be a pilot?

A: When I was younger, I lived next to a hobby store. I used to drive the remote-controlled cars, then went to the RC boats, and next came the airplanes. In seventh grade, I started getting really interested in remote-controlled planes. I thought, 'wow, this is really cool, I think I should go full-scale.' I waited until I was 16 before I took my first lessons. http://ciscosimulator.weebly.com/

Q: How does the son of a certified public accountant get a pilot's career off the ground?

A: I met Dennis Warner, my first flight instructor, at a pilot

shop that used to operate out of Nashua Airport called Wings. They had a Cessna 152, two-seater, basic trainer, and that's what I learned in. After they shut down the store and went away, I thought, 'well, I guess I'm done flying because I don't have an airplane to rent.' Then I went over to Harvest Aviation at Nashua Airport, and they also had a Cessna 152. So my next instructor, Scott Wharem, took me up to my first solo flight on Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012.
Q: You got your pilot's license on the first day legally possible, at 17, but is what your father says true, that you recently took a personality test and decided not to check the box that read, "I'm brave?"

A: I do feel comfortable in the air, except in the back of my mind, I am always afraid of the engine dying or something like that. I try not to show it to anyone, but the thought is always back there. Basically, you never want to get overly cocky when you're flying. I want to be over-cautious, if anything. I keep a book with me so that when I'm bored and have a spare minute, I can study emergency procedures. I'm really focused when I read that stuff. It just really gets in my head.

Q: You do know that whenever the elevator rudder on the plane's tail gets stuck, you have to roll and fly upside down for miles, about a hundred feet off the ground, then roll it right-side-up again, clip the steeple of a church, and glide to a crash-landing in an open field, right?

A: Yes, I did see Flight. It was definitely a good movie, but once they flew it upside down, I just said, "All right, that's pretty much Hollywood." It was a stretch. The main thing I questioned is, if I took my trainer and flew it upside down for a while, there's no way for the fuel to get to the engine. They don't design jets like that.

Q: What is your favorite flight-related movie ever?

A: Red Tails. I've watched that one many times. I especially like the dogfights. Guys my age in life-or-death air battles. Crazy. And absolutely amazing.

Q: How about all the stories about famous people perishing in small-airplane crashes, like Roy Orbison, John Denver and John F. Kennedy Jr.?

A: When I tell people that, say, I'm going to fly to Cape Cod, that (JFK Jr.'s death) is the number-one thing people bring up and ask me about. "Won't that happen to you? Aren't you scared about that?" To deal with that (fear), I'm working on my instrument-flight-rules training right now, learning to fly in really bad weather -- clouds, fog.

Q: Any pilot heroes?

A: Definitely Chuck Yeager. And Rob Holland, a local pilot from Nashua, an aerobatics pilot who has won national awards and travels the world competing. He performed at Ribfest last summer, behind the Budweiser plant (in Merrimack, N.H.). During the Ribfest air show, my father and I were kayaking and Rob came up the river, inverted, about 20 feet above the water, flying upside down past us. It was awesome. I love watching him fly. It hooked me.

Q: What type of piloting career do you want?

A: I really don't want to fly commercial airliners. I'd prefer to be an aeronautical engineer and go to college at either Purdue or Embry-Riddle (Aeronautical University). Or go into the Naval Academy or Air Force Academy and fly for them. If I do go into aviation engineering, I plan to keep flying recreationally, as a hobby. Later, I really want to fly for UPS. You get paid really well, and UPS won't be going out of business anytime soon.

Q: Is it true you teach a class on remote-controlled airplanes?

A: Every Tuesday I teach a course on building and flying RC planes for a class of 24 kids at the Science of Academy and Design in Nashua. We recently bought our first four RC airplanes for about $400 each, and next we're going to go fly them together at the field I fly at.

Q: Is it more difficult to fly a remote-controlled aircraft or an actual airplane?

A: The remote-controlled plane I'd say is a harder skill to pick up because you don't have the feeling of what the airplane is doing or wants to do under you. That said, in the military, drones are taking over. A lot of military recruiters are coming to these remote-control airplane events now and trying to recruit people to fly the drones.

There's no question that the future of warfare, espionage, and clandestine operations is moving rapidly toward reliance on drone aircraft. But should citizens grow restless when this technology moves into the private sector? A German drone maker claims Google is trialing one of its drones, a battery-powered surveillance quadcopter previously used by UK police and special forces. What the search giant and alleged Wi-Fi data collector plans to do with the drone is unclear, but it seems likely that this isn't going to sit well with privacy advocates.
The drone, made by Microdrones GmbH, can stay in the air for more than an hour, photographing large swaths of territory autonomously as it goes. It can also hover, providing aerial surveillance over a single target area for just as long.

Technology, Clay Dillow, google, google maps, military, privacy, quadcopters, street view, surveillance techGoogle's interest in such a drone is most likely its ability to supplement its Google Earth service, which currently relies on aerial and satellite photos to overlay Google Maps with actual bird's eye images of the earth. But Google is in hot water -- particularly in Europe -- for its collection of personal Wi-Fi data by its army of Street View cars that drive around collecting all those street images provided by that service. Street View itself has been called an invasion of privacy because it photographs people without their knowledge or consent.
It's tough to make a case that shooting photos on a public street is an invasion of privacy, but adding an aerial surveillance drone to the mix could stir the ire of privacy advocates and could raise legal issues in some countries as well. Assuming Google is only toying with the idea of raising a drone air force to provide cheap and up-to-date aerial images for Google Earth, this doesn't seem like such a big deal.
But given the fact that Google has a history of prompting privacy complaints and rc planes  hat the drone it acquired was designed with a military/surveillance nature, it will be interesting to see what shakes out of this wrinkle in the Google story. UK aircraft regulations have already been amended to reflect the new and growing role of surveillance drones in society and the FAA is currently considering how the U.S. might integrate commercial drones into American skies. Somewhere out there privacy rights, aviation law, and commercial interests are going to collide, and should Google roll out a fleet of camera-laden drone aircraft, the ensuing reactions of citizens and state could mark the preliminary steps in defining which direction our drone culture is heading.

You can get many benefits from a quality rc car. For this, you have to invest as much or more according to your desires. Do not forget about the thermal. There are electric vehicles with impressive acceleration and good top speed but sometimes due to the power of their engines use a lot of amps and can overheat, although this also occurs in the heat if bad carburetor. At the end the choice is up to each market and finds great variety of both electrical and thermal models of varying performance and greater or lesser price.

Look at affordable options so you can make a wise purchase. It does not get any better! Choosing the type of rc car terrain (asphalt or earth) vehicles on land or terrain (TT) due to its greater height suspension and the ground have the advantage that it can drive almost anywhere to be a great advantage for the beginner. However, the road or track vehicles require a smooth or asphalt. Track rc car models by its constitution bodyworks have more real than all-terrain look more like the buggies.

In short, this is a magnificent way to get onto this new approach. rc plane simulator are part of a new technology. You cannot miss out such amazing benefits. The more you try them the better you will get at it. For instance, driving track rc car needs a more precise driving but the beauty of these is at high speeds up and the curves drawn on. All-terrain vehicles do not require as precise driving and rolling at a lower speed but delight us with jumps and drifts have more driving fun. Choosing the type of traction (four-wheel Drive 4 × 4 or integral / rear wheel drive 4 × 2):

The rear-drive cars have a single differential and are therefore cheaper than wheel drive. But drive vehicles 4 × 2 are more difficult to drive because the power is transmitted only on the rear wheels so they have fewer grips and is easier to us from the rear skid. The 4 × 4 due to greater stability for distributed power all four wheels allow larger engines. The 4 × 4 are therefore easier to drive but are more expensive. Look at the many rc car and analyze pros and cons. This will allow you to select with total ease. Do not rush onto any purchase or else you may end up feeling disappointed.

Those looking to learn to fly RC (radio-controlled) helicopters should be prepared to undergo a learning curve. While the techniques involved can be mastered with a little practice, novice RC helicopter users should be aware of the fact that helicopters are considered by many enthusiasts to be the most difficult RC vehicle to gain command over.

Instructions
Learn to Fly a Radio-Controlled Helicopter

1
Read the instruction booklet that comes with your RC helicopter. Make sure you have at least a basic working understanding of the constituent parts and mechanisms that drive your RC helicopter. This will only help make learning to fly one easier.

2
Make sure that there are no loose screws on your RC helicopter before you try to fly it. Loose screws can result in important parts flying off as you attempt to make the helicopter airborne, and can lead to significant damage to your RC helicopter.

3
Have your RC helicopter unit checked over by someone with advanced expertise before you fly it. He or she will be able to spot any assembly flaws that might prevent proper flight or cause damage to your helicopter.

4
Familiarize yourself with the different functions of the control panel before you attempt to fly. Most RC helicopters' control units have the same controls that are found in real helicopters, and can be quite complex in nature. The instruction manual included with your unit will walk you through the details.

5
Master the skill of hovering before you attempt any other moves with your RC helicopter. This skill alone can take many attempts to master, and it is the most basic and necessary function you will need control of as you develop in skill.

6
Move on to more advanced techniques, such as turns and dips, when you are comfortable with your ability to hover. Expect that you will crash your RC helicopter frequently as you learn to fly it. It is best to learn to fly it over a grassy area that can absorb the shock of a crash and may minimize and prevent damage to your helicopter.

7
Practice, practice, practice. Eventually, the skills you need to successfully fly an RC helicopter will become a matter of course.

There is no denying that fact that all of us love to fly, not only in the cabin of an aircraft, but we actually want to take on the. However, not everybody has that kind of skills or the training that is required to fly a conventional aeroplane or a helicopter. To serve to your needs, manufacturers of remote controlled vehicles have come up with a variety of RC helicopters that can help you get the pilot's seat without any flying license. While there is no dearth of RC helicopters on which you can practice flying to learn a few basic techniques, expert RC pilots need remote controlled helicopters with that extra performance which can allow them to flaunt their flying skills to the maximum.
