RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR RACING

RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR RACINGAbout 190 km/h! This is a technical medium speed modern racing model with a powerful engine. Moreover, the maximum operating speed of the model exceeds 170 km/h, this is not the limit. Constantly improving miniature aircraft, athletes strive to further reduce the time of passage of a ten-kilometer distance. Before the Modeler, usually three ways: change the layout scheme, forcing the engine and improved aerodynamics models.

THE FIRST STEP INTO THE PROFESSION

THE FIRST STEP INTO THE PROFESSIONThe first time I saw this unusual rocket in 2007 in the championship of Russia in Orel. At the start of class models Ѕ4А my attention was drawn to the flight of the rocket glider container type. From the start of the Protocol we learned the name of its designer — Sasha Scoops from the team of the Krasnodar territory and the flight time is maximum (3 minutes). Just wanted to meet the designer, but in the starting area he appeared and after the second round. But the Protocol after the red number “180” was listed a “0”.

THE GYRO — GLIDER

In the latest issue of our magazine published a series of articles of the group of designers of the gyros about the features of the construction of these helicopters, how to build gyroplanes, how to fly them, towed by boat or car. In this room we talk about the fuselage structure and the governance of the autogyro (or Meropenem, since they are identical).

PROFILE ONLY

PROFILE ONLY(THE BUILD-POLYOPIA). Building the model-polyopia begin with the manufacture of the fuselage (Fig. 1), the contours of the lateral projection should most accurately reflect the similarity with the copied aircraft. To the fuselage structure demands maximum strength with minimum weight. The greatest difficulty in its manufacture is the reduction in the weight of the tail, which is much longer than the front, So it makes truss.

FLYWHEEL ELEVATOR

FLYWHEEL ELEVATORIn the halls of the Central exhibition NTTM, dedicated to the XXVI Congress of the CPSU, it is possible to see many original designs and arrangements, created by young scientists, innovators various sectors of the economy. Is on display and very unusual exhibit — a fragment of a brick house, over which a fortified small drum with a wound on its shaft with tape. This flywheel model of lift is designed for lowering people from a height of 100-150 m in the case of fires or other natural disasters, when the regular elevators stopped because of power-cut. The device can be useful when landing fire landing of a helicopter, for example, on forest fires, when landing is impossible because of the smoke.

HILLER-ARMREST

HILLER-PODRUCHNIKDo not consider it shameful to use a good development designers and lovers they share the magazine. But, armed with their interesting ideas and technical solutions, and the very creative approach. So for the treatment of potato between the rows was made cultivator-Hiller. He arranged for motorcycle scheme, when working on (cultivator or Hiller) is located between the two running “in the tracks” wheels: guide (“sulker” from children’s pedal cars) and leading (of the scooter Tulitsa).

In the distant postwar years, and even in the sixties, such a boat could be found on store shelves. From many toy counterparts his distinguished acting steam engine in the bilge – in the furnace was burning real flame to heat up and boil water in a small steam boiler, humming quietly, pushing the boat forward, two small jet of thin tubes. On a boat it was impossible to look without admiration – he was so real! And easy the soot from the burnt fuel on the surface of the cutting gave this amazing little machine is truly a “combat” look. The greatest effect was achieved in the twilight, when at full speed in the Windows of the wheelhouse, it was possible to observe the flickering glare of the flame.

YOUNGER BROTHER

A mini-tractor, which is presented to the readers of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”, is the third built by me. His frame is “broken”, consists of two articulated half-frames, as in the heavy tractor T-150. A node of articulation serves as a node (or mechanism) of rotation. A used engine from a motorcycle “Ural”, equipped with a Read more…
