SCOOTER SNOWY EXPANSES

SCOOTER SNOWY EXPANSES

For open snow-covered expanses, in my opinion, there is no better vehicle than a snowmobile. No other ATV can not be compared with them in speed and terrain. Noise really much.

And so the design of it is thought out thoroughly, and the required units, units and materials prepared in advance.

In one of the old issues of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” (on last page) photos and a brief description of a folding trimaran Leningrad shipbuilding V. A. Vakulenko. His trimaran consisted of three folding units in a triangle and connected in a single whole lattice platform. The great thing about this design is the extreme simplicity of the housings.
