Like many modelers, we moved to “the rocketeer” after the first space launches. Moreover, it was a completely new direction in children’s technical creativity where they can show their imagination in the construction of flying models. Today such a scheme more perfect, with the folding and rotation of the wing, called “Moscow”, widely exploited by rakotomalala.

A GYRO WITHOUT A MOTOR

In recent years, the aviation enthusiasts in many countries are showing great interest in flying on makeshift gliders-the gyros and the gyros. Inexpensive, easy to manufacture and easy to pilot, these aircraft can be used not only for sports but also as an excellent way to familiarize wide circles of young people with the element of air. Finally, they can be used for communication. In 1920 – 1940th years, gyros were built in many countries. Now they can be seen only in museums: they could not compete with helicopters. However, for sporting purposes the gyros and especially towed gyroplanes-gliders are used in our days (see figure).
