The Hitchhiker's Guide
To The EWC 2006
Finding Pitesti from Elsewhere
The "Universe" from God's view. Here you can
see how small 13.77 billion light years really are!
This is the "Universe". Do not
ask God, Allah, Jahwe or Petrus where the "Universe" is.
They will not understand you because they simply call
this "42".
Ask now God where you can find the "Virgo
Supercluster".
Perhaps she will not know this so ask for "Hydra
Supercluster". Just there you will find the "Virgo
Supercluster". Inside this there is the "Virgo
Cluster" and the EWC 2006 will be held just in the
neighbourhood of the "Virgo Cluster" in a very
small system of 30-40 galaxies called the "Local
Group".

Try to find now the galaxy "Milky Way". Ask
the people living in "Andromeda Nebula" if
they can tell you the way to "Milky Way".
Now you will need a map of the "Milky Way".

The map of the galaxy called "Milky Way".
Where is the "Earth"? And what the hell is
the "Federation" and who are "Klingons"?
Oops - wrong map! This is the "Trecky" universe
where "Batleths" and some other crazy stuff
exists...
Quelle: www.ras.ucalgary.ca/CGPS/where/plan/
Correct map. Now find the "Local Arm" (also
known as "Orion Arm") between "Perseus" and "Sagittarius
Arm".
Just on the outer 3rd of the "Local Arm" there
you will find something called "Solar System".
Crazy guys there. They really believed in the past that
they are the center of the universe and that their "solar
system" is the only one in the universe. Kids, you
know...

The "Solar System". After passing the center
star called "Sun", third planet from the inside
is the "Earth", where the EWC 2006 takes place.
Special Travel Tips
Visiting planet "Venus" (2nd planet) before
EWC has an advantage: a day lasts there as long as
116,75 days on planet Earth. So if you have some trouble
building your models before EWC give it a try! After
this you definitely know that a day can last longer
than 24 hours. The temperature around 470°C (864° F)
and pressure of 92 bar (1334 psi) should shorten your
production cycles dramatically. You will like that
when producing your CFRP structures! It is much faster
than any autoclave cycle you have ever seen. Longer
days and shorter production cycles are the benefit
of visiting planet "Venus" before EWC.
The "Earth". Are you sure you want to visit
this planet? Rumours say that the Earth has to make way
for an interstellar highway soon. And there are people
living reading daily a 2000 year old book praying 10
times a day: "Fly
Low, Go Fast, Turn Left!". After this they are going
into their darkroom to push their batteries.
EWC 2006 Music Corner
The offcial FAI EWC song is already in the charts: "Push
The Button" from "Sugababes". The very
popular Club Cave Remix is also known as "Push
The Batteries - F5 Remix feat. GP"!
So far our very special music tip to get the right
EWC 2006 feeling. Now you might use Google
Earth for further navigation if you like. Just Pitesti/Romania
und you will find it. We use classic maps now.

This is the continent called "Europe". It
looks like this when there is no flood and no Ice Age.
This might modify the shape a little bit. But long-term
weather forecast say there will be no Ice Age and no
deluge this summer in Romania. And here we are, Romania,
Pitesti:
Now try this one, the dynamic map:
And If you have read the Bulletin No.1 you should also
know what this is:
Quelle: http://travel.yahoo.com
This is the Hotel "Muntenia" in Pitesti. We
do not know if this is pylon #1 for EWC Pylon Race but
this would be the biggest pylon #1 of all
times! And if you are still unsure why you have to visit
Pitesti, just read this review of somebody visiting Pitesti
before us:
Yahoo! User: "Pitesti
is a peaceful town .You can get relaxed in there
. The girls are amaising werry beautiful and smart.My
advice ...you have to go there and you`l see what
i`m talking abaut."

Ok guys, do not tell this your wife! This
will be definitely your first and last EWC trip where
you are allowed to travel alone. And now let's have
some fun: charge your batteries, let your f5d pylonracer
do "42"!
