Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      It is not that expensive to built a good UAV compared to the price tag on the level of the sophistication of the Gimball design (the Turret under the fuselage) and the onboard surveillance system with direct link to the battlefield, or president’s office for example.

            It looks like a medium altitude (conventional airfoil design wings), low airspeed (which is not a bad thing), long range/endurance (the two bladed propeller might even be powered by a small more efficient turboprop jet engine, I can’t tell for sure from that model)....and a twin boom design? Wow now that seems to be very unique, don’t know any UAV with twin boom configuration of this size.

            Lets see, the advantages of this design would be:

            - The booms can easily be disassembled, hauled, reassembled in no time at all.
            - Twin vertical stabilizers setup has less tail sticking up which means more vertical clearance on the ground, it can be pushed into a short ceiling hanger/bunkers.

            -Lower empty weight.....which means more fuel or critical system equipments can be carried.
            -Two-rudder/tail design always mean if you loose one the other will get you home.

            She is a beauty if you ask me. We need a name for it.
            Think again, this machine should be about 2 meters on 1.5

                  Thank you for posting this. What a man! He owns a famous magazine in Russia, he says "Haykakan harcrov, im terter@ haka Azerbaijanakanen, Hayastani masin vochmi vat xosk kyanqum chem grel, te che et tert@ kpakem ev bolorin goric ghanem". He is also a very close friend of Sergey Lavrov and have brought together Russia's rich Armenians to work together for the Armenian cause, and most of them implement dozens of project at this moment.

                  Russian-Armenians are the most successful and influential Armenian Diaspora in the world. They control large media, banks, construction and political instruments in the Russian Federation, as opposed to a few years ago, they are beginning to organize themselves into a large, effective and powerful pan-Armenian group. One of the projects is the construction of the biggest (huge!) Armenian Church in the Diaspora, together with a school and other complexes, in the center of Moscow.

                  Long live Russia, which is home to millions of Armenians, where Armenians get the opportunity to work and succeed, and keep their culture. There is no (forced) silent assimilation process going on, unlike the United States of America where everyone (except one group) learns to forget their own culture, history, past and are being learned the "American" way of life, singing the national song in the morning in schools and watching Sweet Sixteen in the evening. Russia, the country which has recognized the Armenian genocide a long time ago, whose Presidents have paid numerous respect by visiting the Genocide Memorial and the country which supplies the Armenian army with modern weaponry, mostly for free and at the same time protects our borders, threatening Turkey with a new world war would they set one foot on our lands, supplying Metsamor with nuclear fuel and supporting Russian-Armenian businessmen in their pan-Armenian projects..... and... and..... list is endless.

                    What makes you think it is going to be that large? I think it would be no more than 3 meters in both wingspan and lenght. Engine is probably from ROTAX.
