TRICYCLE, FAMILY

TRICYCLE FAMILYThree weeks it took me to collect parts of old bikes recumbent double the pleasure type. Rapid wedge-shaped profile suggested a name for the new machine — a “Sail”. It turned out onlinefreeroll, easy and strong enough. Low rise creates a purely automotive sense of speed, elongated frame and padded seat well conceal the tremors of the bumps in the road.

R/C TRAINER

R/C TRAINERFirst, the equipment management model. The use of well-proven systems of the type “Pilot”, “Start” or “RUM” is the only (unfortunately!) the opportunity to engage in sectarian terms radio-controlled model aircraft. They are characterized by functionality and a sufficient noise immunity, which can not be said about modern proportional systems available. Of course, digital is no longer considered “fashionable,” and start holders “Supernarrow” or “Navipromo” will look more professional. But… only as long as after a series of accidents model, they will not come to the conclusion that all the same old discrete is better “killer” is proportional to. Incidentally, this feature of proportionally could be used without quotation marks, if to remember, how many aircraft modeling technique, strength, enthusiasm and best creative time is really ditching because of the low reliability of available equipment (including a “Signal” from the GDR). And in favor of the simplest systems says 15-year experience trouble-free operation of radio in our circle.

THE CREATORS OF “FIRE ARROWS”

THE CREATORS OF The emergence of missiles in Russia noted by the chroniclers in the Pskov chronicle of the XV century In 1680 in Moscow organized a special “school” for the production of lighting and flares. In 1717, the Russian army was adopted grenade dynamites lighting signal, rises to a height of 500 fathoms (1 fathom = 2.13 m). In the eighteenth century in India, English General Convex designed their own patterns of missiles and achieved flight range of the missiles up to 3 km away. the Missiles of the Convex was used in the war with Napoleon 1812 – 1814 In particular, these missiles English fleet bombarded Copenhagen, “convincing” Danes join the French fleet, gathering forces for the invasion of England.

HEAT AS THE FIREPLACE

WARM AS THE FIREPLACENice in the dark frosty evening to sit by the radiant heat of the heater. But it becomes more comfortable when in it, like in a real fireplace, flickering “flame” and crackling “wood”. However, the industrial designs, simulation of burning firewood slowly, and all attempts to improve the installed impeller foil give only partial improvement results.

WITH THE “BLIZZARD” ON THE VIRGIN SNOW

In a snowmobile “Blizzard”, which I constructed based on many developments, published in “M-K”, merged circuit elements of classic motoart, “amfitriti”, the snow. pneumona and aerolis, that is, almost all the famous trails of mechanisms. However, my vehicle can not be assigned to any of these groups — it’s the combination motorolaring propeller and skis, which is the driver. So I called my snowmobile motoliam. The ka drive them really very similar to the usual walk on the wads, because the driver drives a snowmobile standing up. Experience of its operation showed that the scheme has a number of advantages: high flexibility and good permeability at quite a satisfactory speed — up to 15-25 km h
