DINGHY CHIBIS

DINGHY Its high performance is a boat more suited to voyages on inland waters and small weight of the hull allows to deliver it on the upper trunk or the trailer car almost any “blind corner”. Chibis can be recommended to fishermen and campers for offline (up to two weeks) trips of two people or of hikes of the day the three of us. Will like this boat and the villagers standing along the banks of rivers and reservoirs, as an everyday vehicle, the more that the opportunities for installation of outboard motor, sails or oars makes it universal.

YOU, FARMERS!

YOU, FARMERS!As evidenced by the mail, under the heading “Small mechanization” is very popular among people whose work directly or indirectly related to agricultural production. Of particular interest to readers are self-propelled mini-tractors — tillers. After “M-K” has published a description and drawings of “Vyatich” (see No. 7, 1981), built by engineer S. A. Ilyicheva, Amateurs agricultural design write and call the editor with a request to continue the conversation on this topic.

TRACTOR AT THE FARMSTEAD

TRACTOR HOUSEThis mini tractor was built in a family of Amateur design Bureau of Paul: under the guidance of the head of the family of Valery Vasilyevich machine was assembled by his sons Sergei and Andrei. All three are longtime readers of the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor”. Small-sized tractors, called by its creators the acronym SAP (S. A. Paul), is designed as a universal – tilling and transport agricultural unit. He can plow, cultivate, harrow, and to tow a cart with goods or a small tank with a capacity of about 100 litres for watering the infield.

AEROBATIC TRAINING

TRAINING FLIGHTDevelop some automaticity in managing the cord of the model during takeoff and horizontal flight, you can begin to build more complex apparatus. It will help you to learn how to perform all the basics of flight complex: forward and backward loops, turn and slide flight “on the back”. Unfortunately, your first robust model of these figures can not do too heavy reinforced design. Therefore, flight training is based on a different principle: the minimum weight, which gives good flight characteristics at maximum ease, which will allow you to repair the microplane for a few hours and re-enter the track or in the field.

THE BARS ON THE TIRES

The idea to build the Rover on low-pressure tires came to us with father after he was unable to rise to the snowmobile “Buran” to “Lunar glade” in Arkhyz. The design of the machine — type buggy, double, all-wheel drive. Frame — spatial with arc security, welded from tubes. Both the leading axle — back cars. Front axle is rigidly attached to the frame, and the suspension of the wheels — independent, transverse A-arm with clinohedrite dampers. Torque from the axle shafts is delivered to the wheels via CV joints. Rear suspension — dependent. Rear axle and its axle shaft just lengthened (track greater than 2 m). To the frame it is attached to the trailing arm with spring-hydraulic shock absorbers. Base — 2600 mm.

WINNING LINES

WINNING LINESKind the debut of this model yachts was held in the summer of 1981 at the Moscow city competition modelers. Attention athletes was attracted by the unusual hull shape: broad grancey nose, frames Charpy and a large ratio of width to draught. All this has not previously been used in sailing vessels of this class. The experiment was successful: the model showed excellent driving performance both on passing and on sharp courses.

TRAINING FOR ACES

ACADEMIC ACESMany RC modelers dream about. Those who decided to engage in this complicated class of models, usually start with gliders. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to find an experienced teacher who would help to develop not a flying machine, gave the opportunity for several days of joint exercises in the field to acquire the basic skills of piloting superkabuto. And the plane with working rudder and altitude to fly slower and more stable pilot error cause only the loss of a few tens of meters height. Finally, the gliders perfectly fulfilled such an important skill, as the automatic steering rotation regardless of where flies model: for the pilot or away from it.

ROLLER-LED

ROLLER-VELOIt seems incredible that sparkling chrome valarelli, one of the many exhibits Central exhibition HTTM-82, manufactured by teenagers — it is very “factory” looking.
