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.

NOT IN HIS ARMS AND TRAY

Typically, the wood for the stove or fireplace are the arms, which is not always convenient and pleasant. Manufacture on the case of a special tray. Take a sheet of roofing iron, preferably galvanized, of a thickness of 0.5 mm. slightly longer in length your wood, and a width of 300-400 mm. Fold back the Read more…

THE PLANE AND 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

25.05.201813.05.2018World of models

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.

SCREW FROM THE NAIL

If it took a long screw thread M2—M6, and they are not (by the way, is not easy to find and sold out), it is easy to produce such a nail of suitable diameter, cut into the rod thread and propilov in the hat slot. I. GLUKHOV, Saransk, Mordovia

BUILDING A CHOPPER

I am a regular reader and admirer of “Modeller-designer”, In turn, would like to offer the subscribers of the magazine the story of how I built a chopper.

Amateur “copperstone” gained strength of seven or eight years ago and still maintains its position. But if you had fans designed choppers are mainly based on a heavy “Ural” and “Dnepr”, the last time these original cars appear on the ground, even for light motorcycles.

THE SECOND PROFESSION OF AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH

In the process of creating Amateur designs may require tools and equipment that are available it is often difficult. In such cases, comes to the aid of ingenuity, and craftsmen are doing everything they can with their hands. We will talk about how you can make a real recorder-thermoregulator from the old electrocardiograph type ЭК1Т-03M (Fig. 1).

A SCREEN IN THE INTERIOR

With the improvement of living conditions, there is a desire to aesthetically design the interior. And it’s not necessary to purchase expensive Western type — the problem can be solved and a more modest decorative techniques, equally effective even in the presence of the usual furniture.

For example, with… screen. Usually it is simply used as a lightweight foldable otvorotka, in connection with which it folds, as a rule, are opaque panelwe with the use of tissue or other related materials.

“The ROCKETEER” TO the Max

Of the ten qualified International aerospace salons in the last four involved young technology of Russia Avia – and rocket-modelers. If the first one it was the winners of all-Russian competition “Space”, which was conducted by VAKO “Soyuz” (the President – the pilot-cosmonaut, hero of the Soviet Union Aleksandr Serebrov), then later -was attended by the winners of the Moscow open competition “From the screw”.
