A roll of soft rags or foam rubber, emery paper wrapped, simple and perfectly working device for sanding curved surfaces, whether wood or metal. And the same skin in combination with two plates in it, fortified at a right angle to each other, help out in cases when you need to sand the surface of Read more…

NEW TECHNOLOGY

With all the advantages of fiberglass hulls for model rockets the traditional process of production is highly labor-intensive and unsound. Meanwhile, the conversion gave the modelers a new and very interesting material is heat resistant fiberglass gasket STP-4. It is used widely and, having a small official shelf life, often charged and often goes to the shops “Junior technician” or “Do it yourself”.

FLIGHT ELECTROLET

Judging by the letters from our readers, the interest in the model aircraft with electric motor is not reduced. Comes a lot of questions about the challenges of producing interesting flying machines and development of specific projects. One of them we want to acquaint the followers of electroperu. Very effective control line aerobatic model created by A. SUHANOVYM from the city of Astrakhan. In addition, they built “nilotica” interesting minimal use balsa, which gives the possibility of playing in almost any conditions. If necessary, balsa items without much damage to the mass of the model can be replaced made of lightweight Linden (in this case, TopMenu blanks should be reduced in half to two times).

TWO FIGHTING WING

Developed in the circle of aircraft modeling station of young technicians of the city of Berezniki of the Perm region and the following proposed model of “air combat” is designed for mid-level athletes. They are distinguished by a good performance, sufficient strength and manufacturability. But for some modelers who do not have experience with foam lomikami or do not have access to the material of the required quality, it may be advantageous to use as the main material lime veneer (which, as a rule, can be made independently). Both bouzouki built on a “flying wing”, dominant in the Junior class and sports the “air battle” of the last decade.

ERSATZ FUEL “CALLOC”

Search methanol for glow motors have always been a big problem. The situation is slightly simplified Pope the publication of interesting material about the ersatz fuel in the “M-K” № 6, 1986. However… was not so easy to find and required for its preparation the solvent oil-based paints. Finally the problem was solved after the publication of a number of other recipes fuel mixtures in the “M-K” n b star 1990. Of all the options the most simple mixture based on gasoline And-76 and AI-93. However, there is little difficulty. On a mixture of perfumes work well only with a special selection of glow candles. But this possibility is not at all.

GENTLE TRUNK

There are many clamps to secure the roof rack of the car. However, quite comfortable and no unsightly gutters on the roof I did not have to meet. Offer readers the “M-K” I developed the design of the locking mechanism of the trunk. It was developed with the proviso that in the manufacture of trunk with such clamps can only use the locksmith tools.

CHAIN MIXER

Stagnant paints, adhesives in the narrow vessels to mix even with a drill bit that is the problem. The task is simplified if at the end of the stirring rod clamped in the Chuck, is to hang a short period of any available chain: it goes into the neck of dishes. the motor will replace Read more…

RING FOR GRANDMOTHERS

GLIDER, WHO BECAME A PLANE

Firm “Gather of waggonfabrik” (better known as just “goth”) at the end of the 1930s, released the first batch of ten-seat amphibious gliders DFS 230 was developed in the German Institute for the development of gliding (Deutches Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug, abbreviated DFS) under the direction of G. Jacobs. At the plant “goth” production of the DFS 230 was engaged in engineer A. Kalkert. Taking a series of DFS 230, Kalkert thought on creating a larger glider capable of carrying 20 soldiers with full equipment, and oversized cargo. He had to have a large hatch with size approximately equal to the cross section of the fuselage, and upper wing. The cargo hatch designer decided to make a hinged tail of the fuselage, as the nose of the glider could get damaged when landing (which often happens). This entailed the use of twin-boom tail. This layout was previously known, but was first applied to aircraft of this size.

TANDEM FOR TWO, THREE, FOUR

For a basis we took the road bike (with “women’s” frame), set on it a longitudinal beam of the two aluminum profiles-“parts” and fixed on the beam two seats with backs so that the first rider was able to pedal the front wheel drive and the second conventional chain drive the rear wheels. So we got a double bike with the same dimensions that and serial single. Sitting in the front seat rotations”t pedal for more drive, located in the center of the front wheel, supports the balance, and also serves as the driver. The second rider works the pedals, resulting in the rotation of the rear wheel while sticking the handles on the back of the front seat.
