The boat standing at the dock, nothing attracted attention.

Photo these aeroamphibious — archive edition. They, along with some technical characteristics of the machines, sent some time ago, Vladimir Pichugin from Kizel, Perm region.
Before proceeding to the description of the snowmobile “Turtle-2”, will tell about the history of his birth. And it happened thanks to the ATV — the predecessor of the same name, only with index “1”.
What is the snowmobile (motonarty) motorcycle everyone knows who is familiar with these vehicles. Mainly because the first — track and adapted to ride on the snow cover and the second wheel to move on the ground. But for comfort they are the same: open, although the motorcycles are operated mainly in the warmer time of the year, snowmobiles in winter and even in the cold of winter.
a deep fascination with the technique came to me in youthful years, when he began not only to repair the scooter, but to collect them from different old parts. Then, growing up, over to the motorcycles, have altered their own way: faced on your own taste (the word “design” then in my everyday life were not), made easier, more fashionable, more powerful, more comfortable.
Thanks to the “Modeller-designer” I’m still at school became interested in technical creativity. Three-wheeled all-terrain vehicle is one of my latest designs. It used the engine from a motorcycle “IZH-Planeta”, equipped with a fan, differential — motorized С3А, fuel tank (located under passenger seat) — from scooter “Electron”.
Building a tractor-little young designers not deny myself the pleasure to use his own name initials. So there on the hood of metaphora three polished letters SAP, which means Sergei and Andrey Pavlovs. In a letter sent to the editors, they said that the big help in the development of the tractor had his father — Valery, All three regular readers of our magazine.
The domestic industry for many years produced mopeds and motorbikes with engines of the type “D”. However, all of these machines were a significant disadvantage (which was, however, pay for their low price). The fact that these motors had a single transfer, which significantly reduces their opportunities. So, for them it was almost impossible to budge without preliminary acceleration by foot pedal; connect to motor “human power” I had when driving uphill or on a dirt road, and when driving on the highway the scooter would not prevent accelerating transmission, allows to increase its speed at least 50 km/h.
Folk wisdom says that man’s life is not lived in vain, if you planted a tree, raised a son and built a house. And if the first two cases of special mechanisms is not required, when building a house can do without them. And the most necessary woodworking machineries — circular saw, power planer, milling machine, fixture for turning or instead of them — one multifunctional machine. It does not matter what the walls of the house: brick, concrete, or any other. No wood structures and materials is still not enough, since the tree — building material is not only versatile, but indispensable, especially for indoor decoration.
Familiarity with this machine was held at last year’s show “autoexotic” (photo No. 11’2006) — a celebration of homemade and vintage of motor equipment, which has now become traditional and held annually in Moscow at the Tushino airfield. Represented the car Alex starilov her new owner. He tells her readers of our magazine.
