That a kite can be under the control of a pilot to perform almost a full range of aerobatics, very few people know. It should be noted that the modelers individual samples of superslow quite bulky and have a complicated design, which cannot reproduce is not for everyone. We offer our readers a new design “acrobatic” snake simplified scheme. Except for reduced dimensions, it is characterized by the possibility of quick Assembly and disassembly, which is invaluable during transportation.
AEROBATICS OF A KITE
Operation of the trike in boreal conditions has a lot of features that should be considered in the design of such specialized aircraft. In particular, taiga del’talet must possess the ability to catch even the small clearing, and when forced landings and at the tops of the trees. The engine of his must differ high reliability, the ability to run effortlessly in the air and on the ground force mi of the pilot. But the staff should have the ability to transform, so that its parts can be had relatively quickly to collect the vehicle, allowing to reach a forced landing to the nearest shelter.
Held in the fall of 1991, sports bilateral meeting of American and Soviet missile-modelers winner in the class S4B was Robert Park, a native of the state of California. His rocket plane “Hummingbird” for all the apparent simplicity has a number of original technical solutions. One of them is separating the propulsion unit. Second — change the camber of the wing by the deflection of the flaps.
Throughout the military conflict in the Persian Gulf (operation “desert Storm”) in most of the media’s constant attention was paid to the action of the American missile defense system “Patriot”. Its successful use against Iraqi “Scud” (see “M-K” № 8’92) launched on the civilian facilities of Israel and Saudi Arabia, was rightly described as a triumph of modern military equipment.
In the competition of young avtomodelistov as the winter sports season and summer now dominates the aviation scheme snowmobiles and cars. Their scheme is already thoroughly known and, seemingly, has already passed all stages of perfection. Studied and worked out every knot simple models, clear design principles from the point of view of simplicity and reliability, stability of motion and speed of the turn.
For those who have passed the first stage of learning the art of radiopilot on the simplest gliders and pondered the project of the first motor cars will probably be interesting and useful the following information. Season 1992 among beginners-“radio operators” in Moscow conditionally passed under the sign “Terry” (so-called set-make a learning engine model by “Graupner”) — so a large popularity of the scheme is a good small model.
