Not so long ago in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” was published material about model aircraft with pneumatic motor. The main advantage of this engine over any other is that the fuel it is not required.

To resume the supply of such fuel using a car pump or that it is more convenient and easier, portable compressor to inflate tires.

Changing the location of the platform Read more…

BOTTLE SAILING

BOTTLE UNDER SAIL

The number of cases of “improper” use of plastic bottles of carbonated drinks exceeded, judging by the publications in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”, all conceivable limits. And recently, this bottle has adopted even modelers, created on its base ultralight tank for compressed air, resulting in rotation of the pneumatic motor of the airplane.On the basis of these lightest of the vessels was developed as several boat and for novice modelers and for older children.
