MiG-3: SPEED AND HEIGHT

MiG-3: SPEED AND ALTITUDEIn early 1939, at the meetings of the military and industrial leadership of the Soviet Union repeatedly raised the issue of creating new types of fighters and about the increasing power of the aviation industry in case of war could not cope with the necessary volumes of deliveries of combat aircraft. The impetus for this was the analysis of air fighting in Spain, where it became apparent technological backwardness of Soviet fighters I-15 and I-16 from the new enemy aircraft, particularly from the German BF-109.

LUCKY THE DRAGONFLY

LUCKY The first USSR championship flying micro models. It was held in 1990 at the Palace of sports “Dynamo” (room category III, altitude up to 30 m), but due to the lack of advertising and related preparatory work by the organizers remained almost unnoticed by sports public of the country. Fans gathered surprisingly little. Especially when you consider that entertainment, appeal to such events, as they say, not to occupy.

AT THE ELITE

THE ELITEWe offer rezinomotornaya model class F1B developed by the head of the laboratory he is the eldest Nizhny Novgorod, candidate of master of sports of the USSR by I. Gorkinym. The basis of her design was based on the scheme of the deserved master of sports, repeated world champion aandryukova, which is due to a number of technical and technological solutions has been made more accessible to repetition.

REZINOMOTORNAYA PARITEL’

REZINOMOTORNAYA PARITEL'Recently we met with a model glider class Ä1. In the design of its supporting planes, and stabilizer are widely used Styrofoam, which greatly simplifies the manufacturing technology was for the benefit of the strength characteristics of the individual elements.
Work on the airframe and its operation did not reveal deficiencies of the power scheme and any technological “whims”, and the flight properties of the model were at the level is built entirely of balsa. Therefore, the idea to apply the solutions found on smaller devices — rezinomotornaya class B1.

RECORDS OF SMALL MISSILES

RECORDS OF SMALL MISSILESHarvest on record was for the Soviet rocketmodeler 1987. The strongest competition to our sportsmen managed to make a number of amendments to the lists of the highest international achievements. It is noteworthy that all records — at the height of the flight models.
The score was opened by master of sports Vladimir Kovalev. The model with two standard goods FAI (class S2B) rose to a height of 1357,3 M. In the category of high-rise microrocket (S1) recorded two of the highest achievements, one the master of sports V. Minakova (1396,6 m, class S1D), the other — the master of sports of international class A. mityureva (974,3 m, class S1A).

PSEUDOSECTION

PSEUDOSECTIONWe can safely say that the interest of model aircraft to jet technology continued unabated ever. Until recently, however, attempts to create flying machines with jet propulsion was only occasional, experimental and research character. Of course, affected by the absence of these turbojet engines in model performance (on the serial production of the isolated supercomplex samples seriously can not speak).

“STAYERS” BLUE AQUADROME

We offer modelers design developed and successfully tested Czechoslovak athletes. The basis for its design was the model class F1E, with which the author is an engineer Ow. Valens was in the recent past, the champion of Czechoslovakia. New electrolyser, named “Mamba” (the African name of a small moving extremely poisonous snakes), helped Czechoslovak athlete to become a gold medalist of the national championship and in the class FSR. At the same VL. Valenta believes that despite the specialization of a new model for long races, it has preserved the “hereditary information” and can be successfully used in the RC electric class F1E. It is enough just to increase the number of batteries and to install a more powerful motor. Basically the same option (FSR) applied a set of twenty Nickel-cadmium batteries of the Japanese firm “Tamiya” and the engine the “Mabuchi 540”.
