SUMMARY:Legacy High School Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFebruary 5th 2015\, the Arvada Associated Modelers Club att
 ended Legacy High School\; in particular Mr. Godman’s aviation class. 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&nbsp\;\n\n[KGVID poster="http://www.arvadamodelers.com/w

 \nTed started us off talking about the club and promoting our flight instr
 uction. The class gathered around the large scale aircraft that Ted brough
 t. The students asked relevant and thoughtful questions about Ted’s airc
 raft. We discussed how the plane works\, the amount of electronics on boar
 d and approximate costs. He tied it into AAM’s training program and the 
 students seemed very interested. Pat then talked about his aircraft and sh
 owed the functionality of his foam aircraft. There were a lot of questions
  for Pat about how much his aircraft cost and how hard it was to fly. Dewe
 y then told everyone about his scratch built gyro-copter and explained how
  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 o
 f questions revolved around cost.\n\nOnce we were done with the conversati
 on portion of the demo we went to the gymnasium to demonstrate the capabil
 ities of the multi-rotors. Pat went first and showed how stable his multi-
 rotor was indoors.  Apparently if you can get the quad to use your head a
 s a reference point it will follow you around as you walk. The students se
 emed 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 s
 ignal was transmitted to a monitor the students could see. In addition Joe
  brought a pair of FatShark FPV goggles and the students took turns lookin
 g through the goggles.\n\nThe flight portion was uneventful and the studen
 ts seemed to be enjoying themselves. Multiple people asked about the fligh
 t instruction that AAM offers. I expect we will see some of them at the fi
 eld in the near future.
