THE HEATER IS A SOLDERING IRON

HEATER INSTEAD OF A SOLDERING IRONUsually wings models air combat and cord upholstered Mylar film. Stick it to the frame using BF-2, and the joints are heated with a soldering iron with a special nishikoi. In the Studio or at home it is not difficult. Plugged in the soldering iron to the mains, and after a few minutes the sting is heated to the desired temperature. And how to reheat it on the track during the competition? After all cases when the soldering iron is necessary, abound: a bad fit of the model, accidental damage to skin, peeling off the Mylar film…

ON THE SLIPWAY – FOAM

ON THE SLIPWAY - FOAMFiberglass and epoxy… once they carried out a coup in Sioux douceline, giving the possibility to applied to the wall of the housing of any lines for any of the models. Indeed, this process is much easier and more productive than obtaining a housing by other methods. But the production of ingots… Make it no easier than the case-“dyblenko”, and the effectiveness of the method of veclachi high only when one blank is used for forming multiple shells.

THE MOTOCROSS TRACK WITH GOLOPRISTAN

THE MOTOCROSS TRACK WITH GOLOPRISTANThe original self-similar route, combining elements of technical creativity, sports competitions and physical training, developed a young technology of the German Democratic Republic. Its main distinguishing features — the use of motorcycles instead of a car, replacing the grooves under current-carrying copper bus and rail and, finally, the supply of power from generators installed on the bicycles.For the manufacture of the route will need chipboard or whether-ists of plywood with a thickness of 8-10 mm In accordance with the selected configuration of the “racetrack” and the dimensions of the allocated space cut strips (straight and curved) width of about 300 mm and wire them. The surface of “road” paintings it is best to paste over glass or sandpaper.

WOODEN CATERPILLAR

WOOD TRACKSMany attract-models tracked vehicles. However, their reproduction is more difficult when it comes to making tracks. Offer the readers of “M-K” I have developed a method of manufacturing such a mover… from the tree. This caterpillar doesn’t have many joints: it consists of tracks, strung on two closed in a ring of nylon fishing line. You first need to glue a wooden profile, which is the cross-section shown in the figure. To “that will require thin strips of plywood and rails of oak or beech, its assembling is held with epoxy glue. Into the grooves better, lay a nylon fishing line — then they will not be filled with adhesive, and after curing 1его thread is easy to remove from the workpiece.

THE CURRENT COLLECTOR ON THE LINE

THE CURRENT COLLECTOR ON THE LINEThere many important components and parts to trace in the box? Yes, almost everything — so I will answer any, even the young athlete. But surely he’s really isolated from all the other current collector. It is from that little detail most of all depend on the reliability and stability of the micro-car, only on the most difficult parts of the route, and therefore, a high result.

HOUSING BLOCKS OF

HOUSING UNITSSectional block method of construction of the larger vessels have proven their effectiveness. It will be useful to modelers. Normally, the body size wikiepedia on the disc, is assembled from wooden slats, is made of metal, is stamped on the matrix. All these ways are good, if not one “but”… Young engineers who are building the model in ways not acquainted with the theoretical drawing of the hull. This also eliminates the collective creativity of students.

BOAT RUNNER

BOAT RUNNERIn this article we want to introduce you to one of the last successful boat designs intended for participation in endurance racing. It was created by the master of sports of international class V. Osadchiy, who took the class up to 6.5 cm3 first place at the USSR championship in 1983 with a score of 64 laps and first place at the international competition in the GDR with a score of 71 circle. Similar microtiter helped the master of sports N. Alexandrov to become the second in the match of the strongest athletes took place in Chisinau. New hull lines provide excellent course under difficult weather conditions, significant wave and wind.

BRO-11M – STEP INTO THE SKY

BRO-11M - STEP INTO THE SKYDid you know that a lot of aircraft Amateur-built are based on BRO-11M – glider initial training famous Lithuanian aircraft designer B. I. Oscines. Very easy to manufacture and reliable in operation, designed on the basis of classical schools of design of aircraft of the 1930-ies, the glider won the sympathy not only of beginners glider, but Amateur aviators, who saw in the design of the BRO-11 M, and its elements useful for the creation of Amateur gliders and airplanes. While some used the scheme of the airframe as a whole, others copied the design of the wing, a third of its original control system… Word, BRO-11M was a kind of tutorial of novice aviators.

WINGED TRAINER

CRUISE COACHTo the journal is receiving increasing numbers of letters from modelers who make their first steps in the class RC. And, as a rule, one request — publish a description of the glider or plane for the initial training. Increased attention to the units of this complex model aircraft class is clear — the domestic industry began to produce proportional radio control systems, and the achievements of modern radio electronics, in particular the emergence of new circuits, give the opportunity to build a good improvised equipment. Published drawings and a description of the “flying coach”, an interesting series of design solutions that allowed to create a universal multivariate training model. It is made entirely of domestic materials.

KMD IN RADIOLARIAN

KMD IN RADIOLARITEWhen designing the model of the catamaran, calculated under domestic motor KMD-2,5, revealed the need to adjust speed on the radio. Had to carve out two parts aluminum diffuser carb increased length and a rotating door. New diffuser installed instead of the original, so the dimensions of the parts included in the rear wall of the housing, to accurately duplicate the dimensions of the serial. The remaining proportions are random. Note that when performing the planting hole under the flap is necessary to provide a dense enough mutual fit of these two parts. A cross hole in the valve corresponds to the inner diameter of a diffuser in the open position of the ledges at the entrance should not be. The control lever is formed by filing a thin disk, machined integral with the valve.
