ONE OF THE KV SERIES

ONE OF THE KV SERIES“…Earth was a dull rumble, and on the outskirts of the village of Sitno seemed huge armored vehicles unusual bright yellow color. Glistening tongues of shots, they were slowly sliding in our direction. “Rheinmetall”! — I guessed, remembering the silhouettes of German tanks in the album school. — Heavy gun seventy-five, eight hundred straight shot, the armor is forty…” Yes, the frontal armor of such a tank 45 mm gun of our BT is unlikely to take… But there was nowhere to retreat.

— Ready! Fire! — I threw the mechanics and clung to the sight. Hoping to get ahead, aim the crosshair on the ribbed tower, push the pedal down.

SAVE THE ROTOR

MAKES A ROTORFor many years the rules of competition flying-th activities of the International Federation of air sports is a category microrocket with authorityrules descent. At the time, the athletes were given this technique a lot of attention, then about her for some reason for a long time seemed to be forgotten. However, there is now a surge of new interest in rotochutes—so among modelers athletes call missiles with authorityrules descent.

TIMER IN RETRO-STYLE

TIME-STYLE

Classic simplicity of design, ease of construction and high technology are the advantages of the proposed timemay Svobodnaya model with an engine cylinder capacity of 1.5 cm3. To build this you can even in a poorly equipped aircraft modeling circles. Along with these advantages, the model has the more important differences, is invaluable in terms of exploitation of its athletes students. Reliability behavior timemay take-off phase, regardless of the weather conditions, consistently flawless transition from take-off to planning, but also the immutability of total flight time. The last factor is so important that is completely worth the somewhat archaic view of the model due to the high pylon, a legacy of the airfoil and unusual for a modern model of a combination of values of elongation, squares his shoulders and bearing surfaces. However, not afraid to repeat: the high stability of the results of this flight Tierney puts it in the real conditions of competition almost head and shoulders above the more modern technology in the subclass expense of building a traditional school. All the above fully applies to the option Microdrive MK-17 “Junior”, modified in accordance with earlier publications in the “Modeller-designer”, and with the upgraded MDS in 1.5.

CUT TRIPLEX

CUT GLASSI am sure that many Amateur automakers in the manufacture of machines are faced with the problem of glazing of the body. Most of them come of the situation, “tied” to the size and shape of automotive glass, used in used on production models. I dare to undertake the furnishing of “jeep” glass type laminated glass cut at the required dimensions independently. This used the diamond cutter. On both sides of the triplex drew them risks which rattled up to the appearance of a crack along the entire length. Then remove the part warmed by the flame of a spirit lamp. Connecting the layers of the laminated film was reheated, which allowed us to pull pieces of glass to. tion between the gap. Then I have to cut the film with a sharp knife, and the uneven glass edges to be dulled with sandpaper.

HIGH SPEED “BABY”

HIGH SPEED Created in our circle of control line speed model aeropittura school of a subclass with an internal combustion engine working volume of 1.5 cm3 the diagram is for a rarely used “asimmetrik”. In its construction—a number of technical solutions which allowed to improve starting (which is very important in the environment of the model newcomers) and performance. So to facilitate germination on a wave at lower than championship technique speeds the length of the nose redan decreased, while the angle of attack is his “sole” in the back work area a bit increased. Absolutely unconventional technique — Vegas the front edge of the redan on the corner about 8′ in the view of the model from the front. This solution ensures a reliable start, eliminating incorrect even with the cast time of the glider inside the running circle (hydrodynamic lifting force developed on the “sole” of redan, has a component directed towards the left side). In addition, an important factor of removal of spatter from under the redan on the right side, that is away from the disk rotation is offset to the left of the propeller power plant.
