RETURN TO BOOMERANG

THE RETURN OF THE BOOMERANGToday the state of technical creativity of pupils, I think we all know — it is deplorable. And even a talented teacher to inspire children is becoming increasingly difficult. One of the reasons the sharp deterioration of the material base of non-school institutions that lead to exclusion from group work sites that require long time to manufacture. It is possible to offer teachers some technical circles (primarily — aircraft modeling) to include in the plan of work of the first year of lessons build exotic aerodynamic projectile like a boomerang. Experience shows that it is quite affordable for newbies. Requires wood and simple tools: a plane, a knife, a rasp and sandpaper. Production time is two or three classes.

ARCH APARTMENT

ARCH APARTMENTInterior of modern apartment became fashionable to decorate various architectural forms. These include decorative arch, installed in the openings of corridors. The construction of the arch (Fig. 2) consists of two shaped plates, made of chipboard with thickness of 12…16 mm, sewn stripes hardboard (fiberboard) 5-mm thickness. The arch is fixed in the opening of the wall by means of screws and wooden bosses mounted on the support-base that is attached at the top of the opening. Making the arch begins with the selection of the shape and size of the circuit (in the figure, are the most common form). The contour of the arch is drawn on a piece of cardboard in full size. The layout is only one half to use it as a template for a complete circuit (see figure).

“THE WOLVERINE” GOES WITHOUT A TRACE

The Rover was designed and custom-made joint stock company “Sa-ratowanie”: here is a badly needed vehicle for the delivery of operational outreach to places of accidents on power lines. These lines are, as usual, draw where on the roads to speak of. In good weather only army GAZ-66 is still able to build there track. In the offseason, almost as in the song: only helicopter can fly. Mari Rover turned out to be what we need. For four years he has served the energy sector and still on the go. This was confirmed by A. P. Smolkin, head of the fuel and transport service of JSC “Saratovenergo”. Not once, not twice “Wolverine” rescued repairmen. And not just for work but also for hunting and fishing. On the question of what the design drawbacks revealed during exploitation, Alexander only then said: “have more powerful Engine… at least from “zaporozhtsa”.

“METALKA” FOAM

Today, perhaps, it is difficult to find a more affordable material suitable for the manufacture of flying model than the foam. It is different, but is most common packing or “ball”. This is a very lightweight but durable is not one of them. Possible methods of strengthening the foam parts — treatment of the surface with white glue or okleina tissue paper. The first option is applied on the proposed model Panera, which is in all respects meet the technical requirements of the Moscow regional competition in a simple model aircraft (sailplanes: wingspan 300 mm, weight up to 20 g). Of course, in other regions can be taken and other restrictions, which in principle have little impact on the overall scheme of the model when using it in competitions on the range.

“AVOSKA” GARDENER

Even if you only have two beds under the window — all the same handling and care of plants requires some set of instruments. And furthermore, if you have a garden or garden.
