From the architect. Hillside House project is located among an area of about 1000sqm which is a part of a resort beside Bùi brook, Hòa Bình; that takes 55km from Hà Nội to the west. This place is where Mường ethnic people habit.
The murmur all year of Bùi brook along the 45 degree sloped hillside is considered to be the most marvellous scene of the area. However, there was a limitation in construction here. So, this was a tough challenge for the architect in planning overall traffic.
The owner of house works in construction field, and he desires a place not only for his whole family to relax during weekends but also a house that friendly to the nature, suitable to the native architecture, saving energy and low cost.
From all above elements, the architects design “Hillside House” which is inspired of Mường ethic traditional house on stilts. Constructed materials are mostly from nearby area like quarry stone, bamboo, palm leaves, etc…combines with specific Vietnamese northern materials such as slate stone, yellow laterite. Structure of the house is made by steel frame, which is quickly constructed, light and durable. Construction workers mostly are Mường people, that’s why the architects try to give a simple but useful solution.
There are a ground floor and an attic. The ground floor is about 70sqmarea which includes living-dining-kitchen space, one standard bathroom. The 1st floor is 1,2m higher than the ground land around so that people could have the best view of the scene, and to stay away from insects.
Moreover, the atmospheric convection creates comfortable atmosphere, reduces endosmosis from the ground. Surrounding pool is an interesting highlight, it makes the air cooler before flowing through the house. The cover solution is the bamboo curtain system. Each time the curtains are rolled up, the scenery can be enjoyed through the I shaped steel column system, and the bamboo curtains accidently become a romantic nature picture frame.
The second floor is 50sqm area includes multipurpose space and bedroom, covered by glass not to limit the view. The roof is made of bamboo resigned frame and covered with 50cm thick palm leaves to make it cool inside the house even if during the hottest day of summer.
The construction of the house and the landscape of green are done at the same time. In which there are varieties type of plant such as big tree, fruit tree, and vegetables…
Irrigation and clean water is supplied enough from the underground water stream and rain water which was filtered by natural materials, so tap-water is no longer required.
It’s a lot easier to fly RC planes now than it used to be. There’s been a revolution, thanks to the miniaturization and lower cost of tiny electronics and rechargeable batteries. These days you can buy a ready-to-fly plane, charge the battery, and be in the air within an hour. And that’s part of the problem. Now it’s so easy to get into the air, you can get there long before you’re ready.
No matter how smart they are, thousands of people every year jump into the RC plane hobby, and many repeat the same mistakes. The most common mistakes are:
Buying the wrong plane. Lots of folks get into the RC plane hobby by buying a Porsche when they should have bought a Chevy. You’ve got to buy a plane that matches your skill level – one that can fly slowly until you’ve learned to control the plane. You need a durable plane that can withstand several hard landings without cracking into pieces. Luckily, many of the inexpensive planes I’ll recommend in this book are also the most durable.
Wasting money on the wrong accessories, and not getting the right accessories. New hobbyists face a bewildering array of parts and accessories. For example, do you need extra batteries? What kind of batteries? Do you need a battery charger? Which one? What kind of transmitter do you need? Can you use your existing transmitter with your future planes?
Being impatient. In my first three months in the RC plane hobby, I lost and crashed more than a dozen planes, simply because I wasn’t properly prepared and didn’t exercise patience—like trying to fly during bad weather. I will show you how to prepare yourself for the best chance at success.
Having no plan for takeoffs, flying, and landing before you leave home. We’ll go over the basics of piloting a model plane, and how to do it safely while having fun. Don’t wait until you have a plane in the air before you start learning. Start now. I’ll give simple instructions on how to take off, fly and land while keeping your risks of accident and injury as low as possible.
Through trial and error, I’ve discovered which planes are the best for novice RC pilots. There are dozens of choices, but relatively few have earned a place in this book. I’ve purchased and flown all of the planes mentioned here (along with other planes that didn’t make it into this book). My recommendations are based solely on how the planes perform, the quality of the materials, and the manufacturer’s customer support.
