"Dear XXXXX,
Hello. How are you?
It's really a privilege to study in your class, and it helps me a lot. You have shown us a video about the XXXXX Aircraft. It is a very beautiful aircraft and has very advanced aerodynamics, I'm very interested in it.

About aviation, it has always interested me. When I was young, I was very good at drawing, and always got the first place in competitions. So everybody just said I would be a very good artist.
In senior high school, I became very interested in military aircraft, and some of my classmates had the same interests too, maybe because we are really men*. So every weekend we spent a lot of time searching for some news about Chinese aircraft in magazines in a bookstore, and compared our planes with American aircraft. We always spent a lot of time there reading books but never bought anything, what made the shop keeper very unhappy. But that was a good time for us, and at that time I've obtained a lot of basic knowledge about aircraft.
At last I gave up the thoughts of becoming an artist, to study about aviation.

I graduated at the Nanchang Hangkong University (Nanchang University of Aeronautics), majoring in Aerospace Engineering.
When I was in college, I liked to play flight simulators on my computer. It really costs much money for a computer that runs them, but I learned a lot from it. X-Plane 9, Flight Simulator X, DCS: Blackshark and Falcon 4.7 - they are all very good. Some of them have many kinds of airplanes, and they are very realistic.
I always tried to introduce people to these simulators, but they all said it's too complicated. Now I need to learn more about it, because I've never tried it the way you have shown in the video.

I am also fond of flying RC airplane models, and I've made some kind of airplane models by myself. Some of them flied well, but some crashed. I think my flight skill is good, though. I have a T-Rex 450 clone helicopter, and I can fly it upside down. Once I participated in an innovation competition of my college, and I made a very small flapping-wing UAV. It was weighted less than 10g, with a wingspan of around twenty centimeters. It looked like a big butterfly. Because of its light weight, the stability was a bit unacceptable, and it can't be controlled. The teacher liked it, however, so I got the first place.
The following year I found that a student did a flapping-wing aircraft too, much bigger and faster than mine, and it could be controlled. It was really a good job. At that time we communicated a lot.

Now at work, we are designing an amphibian aircraft, which will be the largest of its kind in the world.
I am in the general arrangement department and currently am responsible for the Environmental Control System layout. Throughout this job I've learnt a lot about this system, and other systems as well.
I also stayed in the factory as an intern for some time and learnt the manufacturing and assembly technologies and processes.

I've enclosed my college courses and the scores in the attached Excel file for your reference. I am not sure if I am qualified for your University, as you have your own requirements.

One thing I forget to tell you is that there is another place in China you really don't want to miss.
Here is a website for an introduction:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huangshan_Mountains
It's not far from my home.

I hope to meet you in China soon.

Best Regards,
Han"

I'm not sure why you're sending this email. If you're interested in applying for a graduate program, probably the best thing to do would be to contact someone in the department (someone in charge of admissions, not a random professor). Sending them your life story isn't going to accomplish anything. And if you're not sure if you're qualified for it, then it's probably not in China, so why are you telling them they'll be in China?

hello second message thingy i made of this in case my other doesn't get read on the less read subjects lmao… anyways i was wondering what companies i should buy from for model airplanes… if glue together or snap together is better, i'm guessing glue cus it sounds harder and better quality… if there are some tips i should take note of… if there are other kinds of model airplanes besides glue and snap… and i am not interested in RC, just want one i can make and put on a stand and enjoy for the ages to come… i am 14 so maybe there is a type of model airplane easier for my young age than the more seasoned veterans of modeling… your help in answering these questions would very much be appreciated… and maybe there is a question i should have asked that i didn't so if u have personal advice, i'd be happy to hear it.

Meant to mention this is the other question I answered. The links I gave you are to a reputable company. Don't be scared off that they're in Japan; I've ordered from them more times than I can count and never had any problems.

To get started for your first kit, though, you should probably go local. Search for hobby shops in your area (like Bob's Hobby Shop, not the model department of some big box store), look around, and ask about beginning kits, and the supplies you'll need. You'll probably want some paint and glue to start out with, and they may have some beginner or basic sets available.

Building is a fun hobby. Plan on getting addicted!!

Well i am 14 years old and i am currently thinking about building model airplane kits. a few questions i have are what companies i should consider buying from… If there are certain kits a beginner like me should be looking for… and if i should buy glue together kits or snap together kits, I'm thinking glue together, because snap together sounds much to easy and not as much of a time hog… and lastly if there are other kits to build beside snap together and glues together… oh and i am not interested in RC, i want a plane i can build and put on a stand to revel in it's majestic beauty lol… well your help would very much be appreciated…

What type of aircraft are you interested in? WW II, modern jet, regular aviation? Whatever you're interest, I'm sure there's a kit for it!

If you're a beginner, you'll want to get a lower skill kit, to break yourself in on. I myself am partial to Japanese kits. They seem to have better detail and fit together nicer than the American ones I've built.
HOWEVER, it looks like Revell has a lot more beginner kits than the Japanese produce

Those two searches are for skill levels one and two, very beginner. There are kits on up to level 5, but I don't think you want to try those for a first go.

Hi frnds i hav a rc car and im planning to use its machinery to make a rc plane on my own.
I hav a model of plastic plane which is exactly as a boeing. Frnds ill be glad if u support me wit ur answers.

Most plastic model kits are not strong enough and are too heavy to be converted to flight use. Plus, they have no provision for flight controls. If you want a R/C model airplane, you should go to someplace like Hobbytown USA and buy a purpose made kit.

i got a few ideas for on-board power generating and i would need help setting up resistors and that
crap over there.

1) solar powered engine starter.
the nitro engines run using a glow plug which is lit by a 1.2 volt, 1700mA glow stick. you stick it on, flip the propeller, the engine starts, then you remove the glow stick and take-off.
now, what if a solar panel used a few resistors to get this same power but constantly going into the glow plug? you would just have to spin the prop to get it started again. the engine would never stall.

2) solar powered flight battery charger.
the battery (that powers servos and receiver) is 4.8 volt (DC) and 600 mAh. the battery CAN be charged while in use. i'm not good with resistors and i don't know how i could make the panel give out no more than 4.8 volts and 600 mAh. it would be cool because i would never have to charge my airplane. just my controller.

3) solar powered rc glider.
rc glider with solar panels powering an electric motor

4) wind powered battery charger
same as the solar powered charger but with an electric motor with a prop being spun by wind to generate power

1. That takes a lot of solar panel, a lot of weight, just in case the engine stalls? doesn't seem worth it. 1.2 x 1.7 = 2 watts. That will be about 50 square inches, or 7" x 7". Now you could use a smaller panel and a large capacitor to store some of the power, but that gets complicated also.

2. same problem, carry the extra weight when you can charge the battery before the flight.

3. This is more like it. Needs a lot of design work, and of course there is the problem of when the sun ducks behind a cloud.

4. Doesn't work. the extra drag from the second prop will be more than the power recovered. Perpetual motion machines are not possible.
