Kayak in the open sea… Not even if is”? Well, it depends on what kind of kayak. “Petrel were” — the lightest boat, the description of which is offered to your attention, is not afraid of windswept expanse or sea waves. The survivability of the ship is ensured by its design. Add to this the accuracy on the course and the safety for crew and cargo in extreme weather conditions. In spite of the elongated body, the boat easily, as sailors say, “clears” from the wave, and has a good “viable” even in cool water shafts. All control systems work quickly and reliably, and steering is effective in any maneuver.
It was called hydrocardon, although it is more like a kind of water motorcycle. Built is sports microsode the Donetsk regional station of young technicians in the circle of “Small shipbuilding.” As reported in the editorial of the Director of the station N. Vladimir Vasilyev, the club celebrates this year its fifteenth anniversary. Initially, in the classroom young engineers studied the structure and purpose of a variety of sports and pleasure craft, have developed a new design .mostly motor boats. The work aroused great interest guys, but I felt that something still was missing. It soon became clear that the young “shipbuilders” I wanted not only to create a motor court, but also to experience them and more — to compete: whose machine was faster, so, technically perfect.
RC model-polyopia motor. Motors together with batteries increasingly gaining ground in the modeling. Today, the growing power motors and improved battery options allow you to create a comprehensive, well-flying model aircraft, including radio controlled.
The attention of many modelers are attracted to the photos (“M-K”, No. 10, 1979) on the international competition teams of the socialist countries on aviamodelling sports. The editors have received many letters with the request to give more details about the model of the winner of these competitions the master of sports of international class Anatoly Kolesnikov from Frunze. To fulfill these wishes. L. Kolesnikov talks about his Cordoba flight.
Every year fewer and fewer aircraft with piston engines. Lightweight, economical running on cheaper than gasoline, fuels, jet engines replacing piston even from agricultural aviation. But in any aeromodelling competition still reigns “piston era”. On kartodromo you will see the masterfully made copies of “Ilya Muromets”, “Nieuport”, I-15, Yak-3… do Not attempt to only search for a model jet aircraft — the era of rapid modern machines in modeling has not yet arrived. The reason is the lack of jet motors or at least their imitators: piston motors with impellers. Unfortunately, numerous attempts by modelers to create quasirational the engine was not successful — usually these devices have extremely low efficiency and did not develop the thrust required for steady flight of the model.
With all its advantages of an inflatable boat of any design has the same General disadvantages: Shorty wislica, turtle speed and bad handling. From all of them at once we managed to get rid of, adapting your boat “Dive-4” under sail: with him she became and the faster and more manageable. And actually upgrading was quite simple and compact, that is blended with the amenities characteristic of inflatable boats.
Build model rockets. The first manned flight into space, our compatriot Yuri Gagarin in 1961 was the beginning of a new the directions of technical creativity — rocket-and-space modeling. And from the first steps of this interesting kind of design magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” became its active promoter and popularizer. And loyal to him until now.
In the soul of every boy living Navigator, so any rain brook — is a river, and a large puddle is a sea calling out to let the boats from the simplest of chips or a sheet of paper, to specially planed, and the more such combined, as proposed by the German magazine “Technium” self-propelled model of a boat. Yes, no ordinary boat, but an old, two-pipe, with paddle wheels at the sides. What child would not want to build like this, especially because the design is quite affordable for independent playback.
