Board sailing has gained enormous popularity. More reservoirs in the summer “bloom” her bright triangles. However, in calm weather, the wind and their sails are on the coast are mostly idle. And then athletes should remember about one more wonderful kind of water sports — rowing.
We can safely say that the interest of model aircraft to jet technology continued unabated ever. Until recently, however, attempts to create flying machines with jet propulsion was only occasional, experimental and research character. Of course, affected by the absence of these turbojet engines in model performance (on the serial production of the isolated supercomplex samples seriously can not speak).
An example of a creative approach to the creation of modern sports self-similar techniques can be aircar class AC-2 motor with a working volume of 2.5 cm3. Extremely simple, but thought out to the last detail, the design speed has allowed its Creator, student of the Kharkiv school of Constantine Chistova three times to climb on the highest step of the podium at the “high” competition in this class. It should be noted that reached the championship of the USSR 204,731 speed km/h was actually a record and at the same time… unattainable. K. Chistov, the result not only exceeded to date, but even the barrier of 200 km/h is not yet amenable to young athletes.
