RECUMBENT ON THE TRACK AND ON THE CIRCUIT

RECUMBENT ON THE TRACK AND ON THE CIRCUITIncreasingly popular in our country and abroad acquire velomobiles. And although mass production of them has not yet been established, experts believe that in the near future they will become the main vehicle for individual use. Not too bold a prediction? I think not. In the city, especially the larger ones, the car very closely. Despite the constant work to improve the road network and traffic management, traffic jams and congestion are becoming more frequent on our roads. And the car is a symbol of rapid XX century — ceased to be the fastest form of urban transport, giving in speed and sometimes the bike. If we consider inherent to motorized transport exhaust gases and noise, use of scarce fuel, the high cost of manufacture and operation — the balance will undoubtedly lean in the direction of pedal cars.

RC ROCKET PLANE

RC ROCKET PLANEWe introduced readers interested in a new flying class, with the design of the world Cup winner F. Barnes. Judging by editorial mail, the model has attracted the attention of athletes. For those who are going to build such devices, we published drawings and a description of the rocket R. Parkes, who won the same championship the third place. His model represents a different direction of designing a radio-controlled rocket paritala in which the engine is installed in the rear fuselage.The fuselage is stacked.

CHAMPION “AEROGA”

They came to replace the outdated (“Flight models” and “Models for air combat”), which modelistica domestic industry produced almost unchanged for decades. The novelty was the “one in three persons”. By changing only the wing span and small variations of the chassis developers managed on the basis of similar items to create and “pilot”, and “rumble”, and even “high-speed” sets. At least, that these names were applied to cardboard boxes with almost the same pieces and drawings…
