As a kid in school, I learned that long ago, two men on their own did the unbelievable - they flew a plane. They were the first and everybody was happy that it happened.

What I have learned since is much different. 

I want to share today on Lessons From History my research and some surprising facts.  Let me reveal a different story, something more than my rosy picture of history. History recorded it and I have discovered that besides two successful and memorable men, there was lying, cheating. deception, and an attempt to rewrite history. Join me now as I reveal a more colorful, yet tainted story of the Wright Brothers and exactly what challenges they faced which made them a great, Lesson From History. 

The Torrey Pines Gulls, one of the first AMA Chartered clubs dedicated solely to RC soaring, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The Gulls operate three fields in San Diego County:  The Torrey Pines Gliderport in La Jolla, the Poway Flight Center in Poway and Encinitas Flight Center in Encinitas; all used for various disciplines of soaring such as thermal, wench, discus launch and of course slope soaring. They have played host to the International Hand Launch Glider Festival for 25 years and helped in the development of FAI F3K as an aeromodeling discipline. 

Joining us on the AMA Podcast today to talk about the Gulls is club president Ian Cummings and club historian Gary Fogel.

Some quotes from the episode:
“The reason why I lived a decent life… [my parents] understood right and wrong.”

“Whether or you believe in Jesus or not, you can’t argue the principles he lived by and taught are valuable and applicable in today’s day and age.”

“I get to [John] 4:23, ’True worshipers know God in both truth and spirit,’ and it hit me like a sack of bricks… I understood logically, I believed logically. I didn’t connect emotionally.”

“Neither of us were seeking each other. We were both seeking God”

“The biggest thing for yourself is creating habits and routines.” 

“Structure leads to freedom, and rhythm leads to peace.”

“You’re not going to change your life in a week. But if you change your weeks, you’ll change your life.”

“Learn with implementation in mind”

“If you’re learning all the stuff in the world and doing nothing with it, it’s a waste of time to learn it. ‘Cause I can Google it faster than you can learn it.”

“Don’t let your generosity get hit by fear.”

“If you’re being pushed to do something because of [fear, obligation, or guilt,] I promise you that’s not [God] talking to you.”

Michael Goddaert is the founder of Domani Yachts in Belgium. Together with a group of like minded friends he is charging ahead to build truely special boats. From the ground up they are designed with electric drives which implies different thinking from past boat building. As the company is growing they are also thinking beyond the boat and look into services and complimentary business models around electrification in watersports - see the elegant boats Domani Yachts is building yourself.

Innovators from around the globe share the highs and lows of an innovator's life, their motivation and creative passions as well as their favorite methods, tools, conferences and ideas.

Advancements in aerospace design technology has allowed the U.S. military to get really efficient at transporting people, equipment and supplies. However, many of those same technologies also make it really difficult to do those things without being detected.

Recently, a collection of researchers from Georgia Tech University, in cooperation with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has developed a material that could provide a solution.

Paul Kohl, a professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech, recently described to Digital Trends how his newly developed photosensitive polymer could be used to construct a parachute or glider that dissolves when exposed to sunlight. 

So, while its use would obviously be relegated to nighttime operations, the ability to leave no signs of arrival could be key to the success of many covert missions. 

Kohl’s previous research focused on the use of such materials for biodegradable packaging applications. The polymer is derived from a chemical called aldehyde, which is mixed with certain plasticizers to provide structure. The end result is a lightweight, flexible material similar to nylon. 

However, as soon as the material is exposed to higher temperatures, all of these bonds slowly break down. This structure not only results in a faster disappearing act, but the costs to produce it are also lower. 

In instances where users can’t wait for the sun to rise, the reaction could be set off using a small light emitting diode built into the object. Once the decomposition process starts, all that’s left is some residue and a faint smell that dissipates with time. 

A working glider prototype has already been constructed, but it’s load capacity currently sits at just one kilogram. Next steps will obviously entail increasing the amount the material can carry, as well improving rigidity, cost, and the time it takes for the material to completely disappear.
