DUSHANBE STARTS

DUSHANBE STARTSSince 1980, the “geography” of the USSR Championships in the sport of flying remained the same — start small rockets passed on two “spaceports” (“Tapani” under Tbilisi and “Aranci” near Tashkent). But to VIII of the championship was selected the sports airfield “fakhrabad” Dushanbe ask.

THE WATER FLOWS UPWARDS

WATER FLOWS UPUnremarkable externally, water tower farm “Precepts of Ilyich” Spassky district, Gorky region. One year supplies the sleep of the villagers spring water. However, coming closer, you will not hear the usual noise water pump operation — he’s not here! And although the source is considerably below the level of the top of the container, water, with only a short respite, rise up! It is not a miracle? No, just Gorky handyman, locksmith-Borsi Yiwu L. Ceranova managed to invent and test the original hydraulic installation, in which for lifting water is used… the energy of the source. We offer our readers acquainted with the principle of operation and device.

ON THE WATER FASTER AIRCRAFT

WATER FASTER THAN A PLANEWhat can you do — we have no way to get the materials, without which, it seems, is impossible to imagine modern models. A thin fiberglass (not to mention the carbon fabric), the specific binder resins, superdigital and more, thereby yielding better results even in school competitions, this has only dreamed of. And to help these materials in the state, not every corporate enterprise, if at all there is a mug. Well, hope that they eventually can be found in stores at all.

A CATAMARAN WITHOUT SAILS AND OARS

CATAMARAN WITHOUT SAILS AND OARSRecently outboard motor was held in high esteem by the water-tourists. However, in recent years a large part of the waters became inaccessible for boats with internal combustion engines. Once again had to recall the sail, to once again take up the oars — Many, however, are not satisfied with traditional propulsion with a muscular drive efficiency the same oars is not too high. No wonder at the time, the paddle wheels were literally pushed by a propeller.

IN A CONFRONTATION WITH TWO ELEMENTS

IN A CONFRONTATION WITH TWO ELEMENTS“Competition motors”… These words you will hear today in any event — such was the struggle for victory in almost all sports classes. Ship-, auto – and aircraft modeling — all success is unthinkable without the unique materials and techniques for making homemade or high-powered serial superdigital. The exceptions are rare. Perhaps this is the only copy, yachts and aerobatic Yes “bouzouki”. And the pilots of modern RC UAV-unmanned aerial vehicle-the”acrobats” often complain about the lack of power of the engines!

TAKING OFF FROM THE HANDS.

TAKE-OFF-WITH HANDS!Small model scale of about half a meter and weighing 20-30 grams at first glance give the impression of toys. But as soon as test flights, the opinion of inexperienced viewers immediately changing! It turns out that the apparatus according to the flight properties left far behind their paper predecessors. Running in the sky sharp throw hands, they are capable of rapid start, similar to the motor-take off the good timers.

FLYING OVER THE WATER

FLYING OVER WATERToday we offer modelers an unusual material. If the majority of the publications was based on existing research and was devoted to the already realized results of the design search, then this article is for reservoir engineer V. Viktorova, as if in contrast to them, entirely composed of mere “ideas.” But how many times history of modeling, and technology in General, proved the viability and the viability at first seem “crazy”. Characteristically, they at first met with either resistance on the part of even the most experienced athletes (perhaps I ought to say not “even” but “especially”? After extensive experience of the wealth, but sometimes the “limiter” for anything that does not fit into the framework of experience), or complete disregard.

SCHOOL MICROPORTAL FOR TOMORROW

SCHOOL MICROPORTAL FOR TOMORROW

What do you think, is it possible to create a good championship model glider class A1 without balsa? Hardly… it is believed that the absence of a glider balsa parts or evidence of the inability to get this scarce wood, or the inability to work with her. But in any case Bespalova design immediately assigned to the nickname “the stump”, and the attitude of its flight properties — the most skeptical, and in most cases, this skepticism is justified.
