In the early 70-ies before the Soviet athletes-automodellista was a challenge: dvuhsotmetrovy to exceed the threshold speed in the class of models 2.5 cm3. These days, the speed has mastered many of the leading athletes. A sharp jump occurred in 1973, when during the season a few models exceeded the speed of 220 km/h.
The triumph of the Soviet athlete V. Extencive in the class of models of gliders ended the world championship in 1973. Short nose and a relatively small shoulder are the main design features of the model of a champion. The layout is very different from the standard, which is used by most of our leading modelers.
In the “M-K” №1 – 2015 we have published information about the designs, created in the circle of “Technical creativity” Yakovlevskaya Polytechnic College of the Belgorod region under the leadership Skarina Vasily Yurevich. We present several co-constructions of this team.
Ships across the Seven seas. In the history of navigation between 1845 and 1875 called “the Swan song of sail”, or “era of the clipper ships”*. Clipper as a type of sailing ship appeared in America.
In Italy, the design and manufacture of helicopters is concentrated mainly in the company Agusta (Construzione Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta SpA), located in Gallart in the North of the country.

When lighting and electricity were cheap, the question of cost-conscious approach when choosing lighting stairwells seriously anyone is not intended.

Tables-books known for a long time and they are invariably in demand since they take up little space. But buy in the store table the right size is not always possible, so often have to rely on their own hands and ingenuity.
Technical progress in the design and construction of Amateur small engines in recent years has become particularly noticeable. The pioneer Amateur motor construction in our country was L. Komarov (syut city of Zlatoust), which in 1962 was designed, manufactured and successfully tested them built the microplane “the Kid” two-cylinder engine capacity of around 35 HP, 80% of which consisted of parts from a motorcycle “IZH-56”.
