Cordoba for every taste

Cordoba for every tasteThe Soviet school of construction of model aircraft air combat has long since gained worldwide recognition. Although it is possible to speak about the attempts to find new opportunities in the design of “boytsovok”, yet in most of the devices for air arts created by the waste, the established pattern: foam forehead and composing the rear of the “flying wing”. Its advantages – ensuring high durability and survivability model, light weight, adaptability to work – and attracting athletes of the highest rank, and young “men”.

THE BIKE IN THE TRUNK

MOTORCYCLE IN THE TRUNKBefore you engage in the construction of microvesicle, I’ve been drawing various versions of its layout, trying on paper for all possible errors and miscalculations, which can only occur in the process. Looking ahead, it should be noted that designing on paper is one thing, fabrication is another. Many of the “roughness” out in the operation of the machine.

THE REBIRTH OF THE “HARD” ROCKET PLANE

SECOND BIRTH First the model of similar schemes appeared in the all-Union competition in 1982. With them were athletes from Moscow. But at the time of competition for soft raketoplana the type of wing”, Rogallo” they be not could. And further development of “hard” rocket gliders did not have. However, with the introduction in 1989 of a new category (S8 — rocket glider, which have not allowed separation of any elements of the design, including the engine block) this scheme has found a second birth in the category S4 (here design with soft wing is not allowed). In favour of the scheme say and world records set by V. Minakova and S. Ilyin, S. Ilyina at the training camp of the USSR team. The model we present to athletes rocketmodeler.

BEACH JEEP “GINGER”

BEACH JEEP The idea of building a jeep because we like an active holiday. The basis was taken of the legendary Soviet car UAZ-69. Since it was planned to overcome the car is not only cool roads, but long distances, over “UAZ” had to work hard. At first it was disassembled “to the last bolt” and reviewed.

RECORD HOLDER… SIMPLICITY

RECORD HOLDER... SIMPLICITYIf in the famous Guinness book of records recorded the simplicity and manufacturability, today we present to your attention a model would be the first contender for such a record. Especially attractive it is for young athletes. This model is a “bouzouki” with the engine working volume of 1.5 cm3. And all that will be needed for the manufacture of its frame, — a little more than five meters pine slats section 3X12 mm. They are easy to saw on the machine “Skillful hands”. The weight of the rails is about 100 G. Hence, with a relatively large wing area (dm2 21) it is easy to achieve a low specific loading and good maneuverability.

FOLDING TOURIST

FOLDING Bike “Tourist” lives up to its name. He’s not heavy, quite durable, easy to move, has a good ergonomic proportions, fitted with four-chain transmission; it may be two racks, generator with headlight, speedometer, rear view mirror, audible signal, reflectors and stand. The best rating is a big demand for it, which, unfortunately, is not satisfied the domestic industry.

HELMET INTEGRAL DO

HELMET INTEGRAL DOTo have a nice helmet you want to each the rider and the stages, and the requirements of the traffic police should be strictly observed. Popular hats-integrals produced by the industry, are in stores extremely rare, and the price is not small. But it turned out that to make “branded” integral and ourselves: we, a group of motor-fans, for several years, using the improvised helmets.

“BULLFINCH”-SNOWMOBILE

Somehow, “walking” on the Internet, on the website www.snowmobile.ru saw a homemade snowmobile Valery Pavlovich Smirnov, who I really liked. From the moment I came up with the idea to do something like that, in the end, and realized “in metal”. Principal longitudinal elements of the frame – spars – made of pipe sizes 28x25x2 mm, other elements – from pipe – 25x25x1,5 mm 20x20x1,5 mm.
