Q: The generally accepted minimum radio control system has two channels. Each pair of units, radio transmitter and radio receiving system, operates on a discrete frequency so that several radio control units can be operated at the same time and location without conflicting with one another. The number of channels refers to the number of functions the set will control directly. The basic two-channel system allows discrete control of the steering on one channel. The second channel operates the sail control which sets the position of the sails. The actual operation of the model is by manipulating the controls of the radio transmitter unit on the shore. The skipper controls the steering and the sails on the model. The model can be sailed as if it were a full-size yacht. The distance to which we can sail our model yacht is limited by the range of the radio transmitter and receiver in the control system and by the capability of the human eye. Visibility is crucial for setting sail trim and course - and also for avoiding collisions.
A: Know what to expect with radio control. Be aware that the controller will use channels. Learn how to manipulate the controls. Note that you are limited by your visibility.

Q: Feed one end of the lace through the top of the bottommost eyehole one one side of the shoe's flaps. Pass the lace under to the tongue of the shoe to the opposite eyehole. Push the lace through the bottom of the opposite eyehole. Pull the lace upward to form a loop running from one eyehole to the other. Pull until the length of the laces on the left and right are about the same. Once your laces are looped, start on the right. Pass the right end of the lace to the left. Feed it through the top of the second highest eyehole on the left and pull until the lace is snug. From here, you essentially do the same thing on the left. Pass the left lace to the second highest eyehole on the right. Feed it through the top of the eyehole on the right and pull it snug. This should create a criss-cross pattern on your shoes. Take the left side of the lace. Move it down to the bottom eyehole. Re-feed the lace through the bottom of the bottommost eyehole on the right and pull it up snugly. Repeat the process with the left lace. Move it downward to re-feed through the bottom of the bottommost eyehole on the left. Take the lace on the right. Push the tip through the top of the second highest eyehole, re-feeding the lace through this hole. Pull the lace until it's snug. Repeat the same process on the left. Push the tip of the left lace through the top of the second highest eyehole on the left and then pull the lace until it's snug. This will create an hourglass-like shape running across the tongue of your shoe. Repeat the pattern you made with the first two eyeholes with both the third and forth eyeholes on the right and left. Remember, the process is as follows: Pass the right lace through the bottom of the third eyehole on the right. Pull it snugly and pass the lace to the left eyehole. Feed it under the fourth eyehole on the left. Repeat with the left lace. Re-feed the lace on both sides through the third eyehole and then the forth eyehole, creating an hourglass shape. You should now have two hour glass shapes running across the tongue of your shoe. Feed the tips of either lace underneath the top eyehole and pull them snuggly. Pass the right lace to the left and re-feed it through the top of the topmost eyehole on the left. Pass the left lace to the right and re-feed it through the topmost eyehole on the right. Pull your laces snug and then tuck them into the flaps of the shoes.
A: Loop the laces through the bottom eyeholes. Pull the right lace through the second eye hole on the left. Pull the left lace through the second eye hole on the right. Re-feed the right lace through the bottom eye hole. Re-feed the left lace through the bottom eye hole. Re-feed the right lace through the second eye hole. Re-freed the left lace through the second eye hole. Repeat this pattern with the third and fourth eyeholes. Pass the laces through the top eyeholes. Feed the top laces through the opposite holes.

Q: You might need to use some pressure to constrict the shock as it falls into place, and you might need a help to help lift the suspension back up to reinstall the bolts in the correct positions. It can be kind of a balancing act, so it helps to have another set of hands. Screw on the nuts hand tight. Reattach it and screw the bolts back on hand-tight. Replace the shock tower nuts you removed at the beginning of the process, probably in the trunk of the vehicle. Before you go tightening everything back down, recheck the specifications for torque to be sure everything's secure. Most of the shocks should wear out at the same time, so if you're going to do one, you're probably going to end up doing them all. Do in following the same steps and then put the wheels back on and tighten the lug nuts to finish the job.
A: Fit the new shock back onto the suspension control arm. If needed, you may once again affix the anti-roll bar if you removed it earlier. Check your torque specs in the service manual. Repeat the steps to replace the other 3 shock absorbers, if necessary.

Q: The great thing about tug of war is that you can learn how to win as a team, even if you don't have the strongest people on your side! For organized leagues, you might also want to recruit 1-2 extra people as alternates in case someone gets hurt or has to miss a match. If you're planning to play in a league, make sure the combined weight of the people on your team is less than the stated rules, which can vary depending on the age group. This person will act as the "leader" of the group. Choose someone who is a medium height for the team and has played tug of war before. This person should be able to keep a good grip on the rope while in a squatting position and have a lot of lower body strength to keep the front of the line from becoming too strained. It might be helpful to have the teammates stand from tallest to shortest and then pick one of the people close to the middle to be the lead tugger. Position a less experienced member in between 2 more experienced members of the team so they can communicate throughout the game. That way, the knowledgeable teammates can set the pace of the tug and less experienced teammates can work on building up endurance and strength. Talking and communicating throughout the game can be helpful for some members, but remember not to give away your strategy to the other team! Choose someone with good lower body strength and put them at the end of the rope so they can "anchor" the team. Make sure they're strong enough to continually pull the team back while maintaining a tight grip on the rope. In general, the anchor normally wraps the rope around their back and keeps the team moving backward. Normally, the anchor will set the pace for the tugging by taking a step back every 3-4 seconds. If the rest of the team can't keep up, it's up to the anchor to keep their grip and slow down so the rest of the team can reposition themselves.
A:
Gather 8 people of varying sizes and strength levels. Place a more experienced team member at the front to lead the tug. Stagger the middle teammates based on their skills to encourage teamwork. Position someone with good endurance at the back of the team.
