RISE – CO2

TAKE - OFF ON CO2Models with a miniature carbon-dioxide engines attract the attention of a growing number of adherents of the small aircraft. This is understandable: like the plant is extremely easy to use, simple, does not require special fuel composition for the operation, allow to make very interesting flying technique available to most modellers, down to the youngest.

THE WING OR SAIL?

A WING OR A SAIL?The question posed in the title, still have not found a final resolution. The first experiments to replace the traditional sail is a vertical wing, by profiling and design friends of the aircraft, did not bring the expected result. The fact that hundreds of years of its existence, the sail turned into a beautiful multi-device for conversion of wind power into thrust, informing the movement of the ship or the Buer. And it works quite effectively, and acute course, with strong and weak wind, his smooth flow and in the squalls. In addition, the sail is a great tool that allows the helmsman to accurately adjust it in accordance with the selected rate and direction of the wind, its force arising from the roll of a sailboat and other motion parameters.

THE DRILL BECOMES A MACHINE

DRILL BECOMES A MACHINEOffer for fans of DIY table homemade drill press using hand drill. On a solid base is mounted a hollow stand-tube, movably installed inside the stock. On the one hand, he sliced the rack to drive the vertical feed, and with another selected area for connection of the bracket with the guide bar through the longitudinal groove of the rack. On the bracket mounted hand drill and the motor. The drive from the drill motor is belt drive. Vertical supply node provides a mechanism assembled in a separate housing. The external dimensions of the machine depend on the chosen length of the strut and the base; the vertical stroke serves for the size — 100 mm.

HEAT WITHOUT FLAME

HEAT WITHOUT FLAMEDrivers know: after long Parking of the car in the cold to start the engine. At low temperatures freeze even antifreeze! And those who use it for cooling water and drains it at night, lose the opportunity to fill the radiator with hot water — burst frozen in the cold of the cylinder head and the block, and the boiling water almost immediately freezes, forming ice plugs.

SCHOOL OF AIRCRAFT (PART 3)

SCHOOL OF AIRCRAFT (PART 3)AIRPLANE FOR TWO. Most of aircraft fans, began his career in aviation with the construction of a single aircraft in the end come to the conclusion that such machines are extremely limited – to fly them only in calm weather; two-stroke engine is reliable, that does not allow the pilot to depart from the aerodrome; any significant cargo on such aircraft can’t be transported, and for learning single aircraft is not suitable.

BOAT IS A COMPROMISE, OR RESERVES TRADITIONAL SCHEME

GLISSER-COMPROMISE, OR RESERVES TRADITIONAL SCHEMEWhat is to be the new model? This question with relentless regularity occurs before each athlete, the venerable and the very young, immediately after the end of the season. The stage selection scheme of another apparatus is extremely “delicious” for any designer-Modeler, but also time-consuming and responsible. It is here laid the foundations of sporting success at future competitions.
