Exceeding Target Heart Rate

Exceeding Target Heart Rate

What should my target heart rate be when exercising?

I’m 24years old and I’m 5’9 and 315lbs. I just recently started working out at the YMCA.. I’ve been doing the treadmill for a few weeks now. I usually check my heart rate and I’ve been maintaining it between 130 and 140 bpm. I’m wondering if this is safe or even high enough to be effectively working out. I’ve worked my way up to 2.8 mph for a solid 30min. And my heart never exceeds 140. Should I be getting it higher or lower? Thanks for all help!!

As a quick reference, the following table would suffice:

20 years 100–170 beats per minute
25 years 98–166 beats per minute
30 years 95–162 beats per minute
35 years 93–157 beats per minute
40 years 90–153 beats per minute
45 years 88–149 beats per minute
50 years 85–145 beats per minute
55 years 83–140 beats per minute
60 years 80–136 beats per minute
65 years 78–132 beats per minute
70 years 75–128 beats per minute

Esky Outdoor Lama

Esky Outdoor Lama

Esky Big Lama: Nearly crash-proof, this Big bird roosts best outdoors and takes off with tons of fun

The Esky Big Lama superbly balances engineering sophistication along with simplicity of manufacturing. Do keep in mind: This is an aircraft – not a child’s toy – that requires a measure of coordination and dexterity to fly it well.

Unlike regular fixed pitch or collective pitch model remote control helis, the Esky Big Lama uses a set of upper and lower counter-rotating blades to maintain heading. Since this is a BIG Lama and not a regular Lama, you can even fly this outside.

Controls include throttle (up and down), nose heading (left/right steering), side-to-side movement, forward, and reverse motion.

Unlike more expensive and technically advanced model helis, you’ll find yourself spending more time actually flying and very little time worrying about crashing it – it’s just that stable in the air.

While more technically advanced helis require tinkering, the Esky Big Lama adjusts easily and remains remarkably durable. Operate it like you would the family car: Drive it into a wall or tree and you will most definitely damage it, but normal wear-and-tear won’t keep you grounded.

Replacement parts are readily available and are reasonably priced. Battery charge time takes around 2 hours if the battery is fully drained. Flight time hovers around 15 minutes: normal to better than usual for an electric aircraft. A spare battery comes in handy.

Afraid of crashing and destroying a delicate aircraft? The Big Lama is just so easy, you are virtually crash-proof, after just a little practice. Nearly all damage is fixable, so go ahead and have fun!

Esky Honey Bee Cp2 6-Channel

Esky Honey Bee Cp2 6-Channel

what do you think of the remote control ESKY Honey Bee CP2 6-Channel helicopter?

I am wanting to get this for my husband for christmas. He has never flown any of the remote control helicopters before so i’m wondering if the 6-channel is definitely to extreme. The thing is, is this is the funnest looking one I’ve seen and I don’t want to get him something that can just go up and down in the air. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
You are right be concerned that the HB CP2 is extreme. It is. Too extreme? That is up to how much effort and patience you are willing to put in to it.
An RC flight simulator will make a huge difference. An hour a day for a week or two, and then flying the actual model might be doable. The FMS simulator is the very bottom end of usability. Others like Realflight G3 (or g4 or g4.5) will work better. Clearview, FS One and Aerofly are all good too.

But those will add $100 to $200 to the bill. And your hubby’s chances of success are pretty low without the sim. I am not saying this from any estimation of his skill. I am saying it from 28 years of flying RC planes, sailplanes and helis. An acrobatic heli like the HB CP2 is one of the most challenging forms of the RC hobby.

I highly recommend that if you go with the HB CP2, you get a sim AND have him read up on the dedicated beginner heli forums:

If you want something much less aggressive and flyable indoors, and more capable that the silly up-down toy helis, consider an E-flight Blade MCX RTF.

http://www.hobby-lobby.com/blade-mcx.htm

It is quite easy to fly, does not hurt furniture, comes with everything you need, and is the most fun I have had with a heli indoors.

Good luck!

3 Channel mini RC Helicopter with metal airframe.

The best 3 channel mini rc helicopter for only £18.99 including postage! this heli has a bigger battery and a metal airframe even with bearings on the rotor shaft. the detail is brilliant and it also flies very well. i have had many mini rc heli’s and this one is the best by far. it comes with spare blades and a screwdriver. i would recommend using rechargeable batteries as the heli charges from the transmitter and eats batteries as you will be addicted to this heli. it is very stable and easy to control with left, right, forwards and backwards control. The heli comes in three colours, red, green and yellow. i am still amazed at the price for this heli as it is very well built, does not look cheap and flies brilliantly. a 25 minute charge gives roughly 5-9 minutes of flight time. Enjoy and please leave a comment.

Bird Control For Airports

Birds have cost airlines big money in aircraft damage, downtime and even downed aircraft. The statistics are staggering and point to the need for aggressive bird control measures.

During a 19-year period from 1990 to 2008, 89,727 strikes were reported to the FAA across the United States. California, Texas, Florida, and New York suffered the most bird strikes (7,442, 5,963, 5,571 and 4,732, respectively). Twenty-one other states each reported more than 1,000 bird strikes.

While other wildlife sometimes contributed to aircraft mishaps, birds were involved in 97.4 percent of the reported strikes. Most bird strikes occurred between July and October and 62 percent occurred during the day. A total of 60 percent occurred during an aircraft’s landing, and 37 percent occurred during takeoff and climb. About 59 percent of the bird strikes occurred when the aircraft was at a height of 100 feet or less. Nearly 72 percent occurred at 500 feet or less and 92 percent occurred at or below 3,000 feet. Bird control measures could have prevented many of the strikes.

A total of 59,047 bird strikes did not damage the aircraft; while 5,112 aircraft suffered minor damage; 2,456 suffered substantial damage; and 24 aircraft were destroyed as a result of the strike. The aircraft components most struck by birds were the nose/radome, windshield, engine, wing/rotor, and fuselage. Aircraft engines were most frequently damaged by bird strikes.

For the 19-year period, five of the strikes resulting in seven fatalities involved unidentified species of birds. American white pelicans, Canada geese, white-tailed deer and brown-pelicans were responsible for nine fatalities. Ducks and geese caused 40 strikes, injuring 45 humans; vultures created 24 strikes, resulting in 26 injuries.

In April 2008, a Challenger 600 struck several American white pelicans at 3,000 feet during its climb from a Colorado airport. One bird penetrated the nose of the aircraft and entered the cockpit. Both engines ingested birds and one engine lost power. Fortunately, the pilot was able to return and land safely. Repair costs exceeded $2 million. Effective bird control measures might have prevented this mishap.

In December 2008, a gadwall was ingested into the #3 engine of an MD-10 at 2,700 feet during the aircraft’s approach. The entire engine and cowling had to be replaced. The aircraft was out of service for over three days and repair costs exceeded $900,000.

Effective Bird Control Measures

To prevent these and other bird strike mishaps, airports need to adopt effective and humane bird control measures. The most popular are listed below:

Bird Netting

A highly effective physical barrier method of bird control, Bird Netting keeps pest birds from gathering and nesting at airport facilities. For best results, heavy-duty bird netting should be used. The best netting is made of ISO 1806 mesh test polyethylene fabric and is UV stabilized, flame resistant and rot and waterproof. Bird netting comes in various mesh sizes to deter specific bird species.

When covering an airplane hangar with bird netting, thousands of square feet of netting and special lifts and power equipment will be required. In this case, it’s best to call in a professional bird control installer. Improperly installed netting will sag and droop, creating gaps that allow pest birds to enter.

Misters and Foggers

Bird misters and foggers have been widely used at airports to achieve bird control. These devices emit an ultra fine mist of methyl anthranilate–a grape extract that naturally occurs in concord grapes–to disperse and discourage pest birds from gathering around tarmacs and runways. Recognized by the FDA as a safe substance, the chemical can be used to deter a wide range of pest birds, including, sparrows, pigeons, starlings, crows, blackbirds and geese. The chemical works by irritating the trigeminal nerve and mucous membranes of birds when they fly through it. One whiff and they’re gone.

Bird Slopes

Bird Slopes achieve bird control by denying pest birds a landing zone. And if they can’t land, they won’t stay. Birds simply slide off these angled, slippery PVC panels no matter how many times they try to “get a grip.” Suitable for eaves, ledges, beams and other 90-degree areas where pest birds tend to nest and roost, the panels install easily using glue, nails or screws. Bird slopes even come in different colors to blend in with an airport’s décor.

Electric Tracks

For on-the-spot bird control, Electric Track bird repellers work quite well as a bird control measure. Mount them on ledges, rooftops, in and around airport structures and birds will disappear from those areas. They work by delivering a harmless electric shock that quickly discourages pest birds. The best electric tracks feature a low-profile flow-through design to keep water from damming up around them.

Bird Gels

This is another localized bird control measure that will keep pest birds off towers and other airport structures. Bird Gels are easy to apply using a standard caulking gun. The gel stays sticky and tacky for about six months–a surface birds hate to set foot on. Safe for birds (except swallows), gels are an ideal bird deterrent for use on ledges, I-beams, parapet walls, conduit, pipes, and most flat or curved surfaces.

Bird Sonic Devices

Like most creatures, birds feel very uncomfortable when they hear the sounds of predators nearby. Bird Sonic devices exploit this fear to the max, broadcasting a variety of predator calls and birds in distress over a wide area. Some devices emit the sound of Peregrine falcons defending their territory (a pigeon’s natural enemy). Another sonic device aimed at starlings and seagulls blasts the sounds of predator hawks screeching and gulls under attack. One versatile device emits distress and predator calls for as many as 22 types of birds. In some cases, the sounds are amplified and broadcast through special generating units, covering up to 40 acres.  These sonic units, used in open areas, are best used with other methods of bird control such as the misting devices.

Plastic bird spikes

Plastic bird spikes are a highly effective method of bird control for use around airports. The chief advantage they have over stainless steel spikes is that they are non-conductive and won’t interfere with EM transmissions. This means they can be used where high frequency transmissions like radar and other flight transmissions are being generated.

Installed on air-traffic control towers, hangars and maintenance bays, plastic bird spikes won’t allow pest birds to land. They are especially effective in preventing large pest birds from landing on flat or curved surfaces. Birds like pigeons, crows, gulls, vultures and raptors.
