In early September 2019 the first shipments of the long awaited Tesla Model 3 autonomous electric vehicle began arriving in Australia.
All Tesla cars come standard with auto pilot, full self-driving capability and driver assistance features such as emergency braking, collision warning and blind-spot monitoring.
With the next software update, the cars will recognise and respond on autopilot to speed signs, traffic lights and stop signs. A number of other autonomous features will also be available by the end of 2019.
This white Tesla 3 Performance, pictured above is my sons car. He picked it up in Sydney on September 28 2019. Apparently if he had not been there at the pre-arranged time the car would have been allocated to someone else and he would have gone back on the waiting list.
Today Boxing Day 2019 I had my first opportunity to drive this amazing vehicle. Apart from being whisper quiet the technology is unbelievable and the acceleration from 0 to 100km hour in 3.4 seconds is breathtaking.
The standard car with various options he had ordered was unavailable on the day so Tesla upgraded him free of charge to a Performance Long Range vehicle. His car had been ordered well over 3 years previous to the delivery and his great patience has been rewarded with an amazingly sleek and seriously impressive and in the end, upgraded vehicle.
The stylishly sleek low profile Standard Tesla Model 3 has a battery range of 460km (real life more like 350km), a top speed of 225kph and at 5.6 seconds 0 to 100km it has scary acceleration that throws you back hard against the seat.
The Standard Model 3 will retail for Au$67,900.
There are two other models being made available in Australia.
Long Range Standard (620km -233kph-4.6 seconds) (Au$85,900)
Performance (560km - 233kph-3.4 seconds) (Au$92,900)
When one gets into the car the first thing you notice, apart from the comfort of the seats and the sleek tinted glass roof, is the total simplicity of the dash. There is no instrumentation on the dashboard, just a large computer screen which literally does everything. It allows you to conveniently update the cars autonomous and standard driving mode software, make phone calls, use maps and play music. I'm not sure yet but its probably set up for voice command also.
Charging is carried out at Tesla's rapidly expanding network of Australian charging stations or at home through an adapted power point.
Recently I saw that the Tesla Model 3 has become the top selling car in the Netherlands.
It will be interesting to see how rapid its adoption will be in Australia given Australian's record as a world leader in transitioning to new technologies.
It will not be a surprise if the takeup is quite fast, despite our current federal governments best efforts to dampen down all enthusiasm for anything not powered by fossil fuels.
The Tesla Version 10 Update was released on 26th September 2019

Testing out Autoflight Logic’s Autopilot app with a Phantom 3 Pro.
Made in UK by Smiths company. I did purchase these one because of its unusual colors, it appears that it was used only in Fokker 28 airplane.
This is one of the earliest shots that I took of Auto. As you can see, the wheel is now rounded down, and I attached wooden brackets to each parts of the wheel themselves.

The kit and its assembly:
Another spontaneous interim build in a busy time - if I want to build something "on autopilot", an ARII VF-1 in fighter mode is a safe bet. The trigger was that I realized that I had, despite having built far more than twenty VF-1s so far, none of them carried a US Navy "low viz" paint scheme? No idea why this had slipped my attention - even though I had already built one in a USAF "Egypt One" scheme and a modified (non-transformable) VF-1D in a low contrast Keith Ferris splinter scheme with USN colors.
I dug out VF-1 fighter from the pile and built the kit mostly OOB - but with some detail updates. This time, the kit would receive an extended landing gear and an open canopy for ground display. Consequently, I added side consoles and a dashboard extension to the cockpit. On the wings, the slats and the flaps were lowered, but not extended, and for additional excitement I opened the spoilers on the wings - because their red interior would be a nice contrast to the overall grey aircraft (see below).
Characteristic blade antennae were added to the nose flanks and on the spine, and the pilot figure was only added for the beauty pics.
The ordnance was in part taken OOB, too, with six AMM-1 missiles on the outer pylons but an 1:100 AN/ALQ-131 ECM pod (from a Revell 1:100 A-10) and a single stand-off missile (an 1:144 AGM-86 ALCM, left over from an Academy B-1B kit, just mounted upside down) on the inner pair of pylons.
Even though the model would later stand on its own legs, I added the option to attach a display (my almost-patented wire construction that uses the OOB display base) to the back of the ventral gun pod.
I was practicing my freehand panning (NL: pannen) technique during the 42nd cycling competition "Wielerronde van Ermelo".

From Missile to Space Launcher
The U.S. Army's Redstone started life as a battlefield weapon on the Cold War frontlines of divided Europe. Nicknamed "the American V-2," the missile stood 63 feet tall. Redstone's V-2-type A-5 engine could throw a nuclear warhead up to 400 miles behind the Iron Curtain. The Army first tested Redstone at Cape Canaveral in 1953, and deployed it in Western Europe in 1958.
In 1954, V-2 and Redstone designer Werner von Braun convinced the Defense Department to ask President Eisenhower for permission to launch a US. satellite on an upgraded Redstone. Eisenhower chose instead the civilian Vanguard satellite project. Von Braun was not discouraged. Using as an excuse the need for warhead reentry tests, he built the Jupiter-C, a Redstone with lengthened fuel tanks and the powerful A-7 engine. Following the twin humiliations of Sputnik 1 and Vanguard's failure, Jupiter-C launched Explorer 1, America's first satellite, in 1958.
"The development of manned space flight is not just a matter of replacing a warhead by a manned cabin. Suddenly, a switch is thrown between two parallel tracks, those of missile technology and those of aviation technology, and an attempt is made to move the precious human cargo from one track to the other. As in all last-minute switchings, one has to be careful to assure that no derailment takes place."
- Joachim P. Kuettner, Mercury-Redstone Project Engineer, 1959
Man-Rating Redstone
NASA tapped Redstone for Project Mercury in 1959 because of its reputation for reliability. The new space agency want to launch astronauts on suborbital flights at least 100 miles high, a level of performance that called for new upgrades. Many modifications drew on the rocket's heritage. For example, NASA adopted Jupiter-Cs long fuel tanks, then stretched them six feet so the A-7 engine would have enough fuel to burn for an additional 20 seconds. Engineers also replaced the Redstone missile guidance system with the simpler, more reliable LEV-3 autopilot used on the V-2.
In all, Mercury-Redstone included some 800 modifications. Many aimed at improving astronaut safety. Chief among these was the new Automatic Abort-Sensing System (AASS). If the AASS's electronic brain detected a catastrophic malfunction-for example, a sudden loss of fuel tank pressure-it would automatically fire the Mercury capsule's escape rocket, blasting the astronaut clear of the doomed Redstone.
Redstone Missile in Action
If the Cold War had gone hot, Redstone missiles stationed in West Germany might have struck at Warsaw Pact supply lines and command centers far behind the front lines in East Germany and Czechoslovakia. The Redstone missile required a fleet of support vehicles for transport, assembly, and launch. These included a warhead transporter, two liquid oxygen tankers, a fire control truck, and a mobile launcher with crane-like erector.
The Redstone missile's A-5 engine burned for 100 seconds before exhausting its alcohol and liquid oxygen propellants. Its ST-80 guidance system tilted vanes in the engine's flame plume to steer the missile toward its target. After engine cutoff, the warhead separated to improve targeting accuracy. Four vanes steered it during its unpowered fall to the target. Redstone could destroy enemy armies and installations using either conventional high explosives or nuclear weapons
Mercury-Redstone In Action
A Mercury-Redstone rocket stood nearly 84 feet tall on its launch table on Cape Canaveral's Missile Row. The astronaut reclined in a couch inside his cramped Mercury capsule. Controllers in the Launch Complex 5/6 blockhouse 300 feet away carefully monitored spacecraft and booster systems, ready to stop the countdown at the first hint of trouble.
Countdown went automatic 20 seconds before planned liftoff. The astronaut got abort control about 15 seconds later, when the tower umbilical separated from the Mercury-Redstone rocket. At liftoff, a plug pulled out of the rocket, activating the capsule clock and the AASS. Fifteen seconds after liftoff, vanes in the A-7 engine tilted, deflecting its flame plume so the rocket pitched toward the east and flew over the Atlantic.
The engine cut off automatically 142 seconds after liftoff, by which time the Mercury-Redstone was 25 miles from the launch pad traveling at 6.3 times the speed of sound. The AASS shut off automatically. The capsule jettisoned its escape tower, then separated from the Redstone rocket. The astronaut began five minutes in zero-G.
He turned his spacecraft so its retrorockets and heatshield faced forward. The capsule slowed as its climbed toward the highest point in its arcing path, 100 miles high. The astronaut then fired the retrorockets for 20 seconds, further slowing his spacecraft. Forty seconds after retrofire, about 150 miles from the launch pad, the retrorockets separated. Heat and deceleration built up as his capsule reentered the atmosphere. About eight minutes and 20 seconds into the flight, the astronaut experienced a force equal to 11 times Earth's gravity.
Gradually the crushing pressure tailed off, then the capsule's parachutes opened. Splashdown 260 miles from Cape Canaveral occurred about 15 minutes after launch.
