AVAILABLE FOR BEGINNERS OR RACING FLAT FUSELAGE

AVAILABLE TO NEWCOMERS, OR RACING WITH A FLAT FUSELAGEFor a year came into effect new rules on aviation sports, which legalized “school” subclasses of cord aircraft. One of them circuit racing vehicles. Different from “adults” only permit flat fuselages, these models opened the way for many boys in the world-class F2C. For anybody not a secret that, more than in any other class, there still existed an insurmountable barrier for the transition from academic to sports cars. Yes, actually, race training simply did not exist. If you have simplified aerobatic, speed and attack models, racing are required in the beginning to create a championship design. And that was to make the boy who have not yet know which side of the plane take. The classes of racing had to be postponed at times when coming to and experience with different materials, and there will be knowledge in the challenging sport.

Cordoba for every taste

Cordoba for every tasteThe Soviet school of construction of model aircraft air combat has long since gained worldwide recognition. Although it is possible to speak about the attempts to find new opportunities in the design of “boytsovok”, yet in most of the devices for air arts created by the waste, the established pattern: foam forehead and composing the rear of the “flying wing”. Its advantages – ensuring high durability and survivability model, light weight, adaptability to work – and attracting athletes of the highest rank, and young “men”.

THE BIKE IN THE TRUNK

MOTORCYCLE IN THE TRUNKBefore you engage in the construction of microvesicle, I’ve been drawing various versions of its layout, trying on paper for all possible errors and miscalculations, which can only occur in the process. Looking ahead, it should be noted that designing on paper is one thing, fabrication is another. Many of the “roughness” out in the operation of the machine.

GAZ-415

GAZ-415Pickup GAZ-4 in the Soviet Union enjoyed a well – deserved popularity – it acquired trading bases, small businesses and cooperatives. In 1936, at the Gorky automobile plant is the GAZ-A, the basis of the pickup GAZ-4, launched a series of GAZ-M1. Factory designers and engineers quickly developed a relatively inexpensive technology of serial production of pickup on the basis of “emka”, the designation GAZ-415.

NORTH AEROASTROSnowmobile Ka-30. The first test of the snowmobile “North-2”, created in OKB famous designer of helicopters, N.And.Kamov, showed that they have two fatal defect is small capacity and lack of capacity. Not surprisingly -because this snowmobile was created on the basis of the body of a conventional car GAZ-M20 “Victory” and was a vehicle comparable in these parameters with this cars. Therefore, the design Bureau was instructed to develop still, and a 10-seater snowmobile Ka-30 cab high capacity, which according to its characteristics resembled popular in those years is also a 10-seater minibus RAF-977Д “Latvia”.

THE REBIRTH OF THE “HARD” ROCKET PLANE

SECOND BIRTH First the model of similar schemes appeared in the all-Union competition in 1982. With them were athletes from Moscow. But at the time of competition for soft raketoplana the type of wing”, Rogallo” they be not could. And further development of “hard” rocket gliders did not have. However, with the introduction in 1989 of a new category (S8 — rocket glider, which have not allowed separation of any elements of the design, including the engine block) this scheme has found a second birth in the category S4 (here design with soft wing is not allowed). In favour of the scheme say and world records set by V. Minakova and S. Ilyin, S. Ilyina at the training camp of the USSR team. The model we present to athletes rocketmodeler.

THE CREATORS OF “FIRE ARROWS” (PART 2)

Fighting vehicle BM-31 on the chassis ZIS-151 in the open area of the technical Museum TogliattiReactive BM-8-24. In August 1941, took arms 82-mm rocket M-8. It was a modification of the aviation RS-82 for use in the field artillery, which had almost twice the mass of the explosive. Creating launchers for M-8 instructed SLE Moscow plant № 733 “Compressor” with the participation of the Bureau of plant No. 37. Led the development of V. A. Timofeyev, a leading designer of chassis D. I. Sazonov. In machine design engineers used a series of nodes from the BM-13, as well as guides such as “flute” used in aviation.
