Be-30 – “AIR BUS” BERIEV

A passenger plane Be-30 was created at a difficult time for headed by Gurbanguly Believin design office time. The euphoria associated with the development of rocket technology led to the fact that the main customer in the face of the Ministry of defence has sharply reduced the development of new aviation technology in General and seaplanes in particular. The staff of the Taganrog machine-building plant (that then became known as OKB G. M. Beriev) had to look for the use of their forces and to try myself in new areas. It was decided to participate in the creation of machines to replace the mass, but by that time, already obsolete aircraft of local airlines An-2. This plane (the future of An-28) has also began to design at OKB O. K. Antonov.

SWIM ON COT…

SWIM ON THE COT...It is known that fish from a boat is better than from the shore — usually this fishing is much more successful. But the boat, at least the rubber there is not every adult lover of fishing. And where to get such a watercraft, for example, a young angler? Even the larger chamber of the wheel of the truck he to find easy. So inadvertently to pierce fish hook wonder. Meanwhile, the decision of the question to ensure yourself is reliable and cheap (if not free) craft lies under your feet. Using items that are discarded because they cannot be repaired or no longer needed, you can quickly build a good raft.

DIMENSIONLESS REGIMENT

Shelf can indeed be of such dimensions in length and height, which are required or which allows the pier, where it will be suspended — the design allows any options. If only the horizontal Board was Tselikov, because they are based regiments. Other its elements such as “ladders”. The capacity of this shelf, even if she is of limited size: the bottom can be attached and even the hooks on which will house a lot of kitchen utensils.

THE PLANE AND GLIDER

BOTH THE AIRCRAFT AND THE GLIDER

Schematic model of the airframe and the aircraft, as you know, started flying much earlier than their full-size prototypes. Paving the real aircraft’s path in the sky, they are now helping novice modelers to do their first steps in small aircraft. It is a pity that “schematicity” of today do not differ from those that did even our grandparents: all of the same pine strips, aluminum wire, model aircraft rubber, a little tissue paper, yarn and glue. No new materials, no advanced design and engineering techniques. This publication is offered to novice modelers a simple universal model, which the manufacturer is not much more complicated schematic, but its aerodynamics and, consequently, the flight data is on a modern level.

“PIPER”: A CONTOUR COPY

Competitions of different rank showed that as prototypes for the manufacture of contour models are used only a dozen types of aircraft. And to participate our aeromodelling circle in the next competition, it was decided to make a model rare prototype. Our choice fell on PIPER CAB, one of the most successful light aircraft, produced in mass quantities since the pre-war (1935).

ADHESIVES FOR PLASTICS

Almost accidentally I “turned” the glue that sticks together good parts from plastics, for example polystyrene. To obtain the necessary glue small pieces of plastic or polystyrene to fill in a container made of glass, fill with solvent No. 646. Occasionally the contents must be mixed to obtain a flowable creamy mass.
