“SMARAGD” ON A CURVED COURSE

Today we want to introduce the adherents of model shipbuilding with the successful development of Czechoslovak athletes. Interestingly, they have created a small motor boat “Smaragd” is designed based on the highly successful hull of sports “train” subclass E7 (construction of which our magazine introduced to its readers in No. 5 of 1992). I hope you will be interested to know how the target pure sports car can turn into a spectacular polyopia. By the way, except for the external transformations, the new model simultaneously received and other power equipment much more affordable for the average modeller. Long-term experiments allowed the authors to find the optimal combination performance.

“BEGINNERS”: A UNIVERSAL SOLUTION

Despite the many difficulties of various kinds that occurs at each step of the athlete or Amateur Modeler, RC aircraft not yet “died out” among the mass of the cart. Oddly enough, on the contrary, in recent years they are becoming increasingly popular Probably, this is due to an enduring interest in the most complex kind of modeling and at the same time on our appearance more than the poor modelistica “market” instrument of cooperative production. Not to say that it’s world-class products. But it is “down” above the same “Supramar” and is already able to satisfy the needs of novice and developing athletes — circuit decisions in a number of cooperative rulemaking and receivers close to the Western products.

FROM SCHEMATICITY – LEAGUE

FROM SCHEMATICITY - K CHAMPION

The development of the increasingly popular class of model airplanes-gliders reduced dimensions traditionally associated with increasing complexity and increasing elongation of their wings. One of the attempts to show that there are other, much more affordable and effective ways of designing paritala class A1, was made in the “M-K” in 1992 with the publication of model with a simplified power circuit.

“STREET” – UNIVERSAL MOTORCYCLE

The desire to make a motorcycle of his own design came to me long ago. From the school years through my hands passed almost all manufactured and domestic models as well as Czech “Java” and “Chezet”. However, none of these machines was not satisfied: I wanted to have something solid, powerful and comfortable. I needed a bike that allows you to go on a long, long journey, able to quickly overcome a long distance and at the same time suitable for business trips around town, economical and maneuverable. In short, I needed a motorbike that meets the requirements of class “street”.

STEAM – ENGINE

STEAM - ENGINE

Even if the shoulder is already extensive experience in building boat-copies, still in the design of the new microtune he inevitably faces the problem of which engine to put in a future copy! Glow or compression — there are problems with fuel, sound attenuation, and vibration. Electric! But it is not without flaws, especially considering the large mass of electric accumulators.

AEROBATICS OF A KITE

FLIGHT A KITEThat a kite can be under the control of a pilot to perform almost a full range of aerobatics, very few people know. It should be noted that the modelers individual samples of superslow quite bulky and have a complicated design, which cannot reproduce is not for everyone. We offer our readers a new design “acrobatic” snake simplified scheme. Except for reduced dimensions, it is characterized by the possibility of quick Assembly and disassembly, which is invaluable during transportation.

TAIGA DEL’TALET

TAIGA DEL'TALETOperation of the trike in boreal conditions has a lot of features that should be considered in the design of such specialized aircraft. In particular, taiga del’talet must possess the ability to catch even the small clearing, and when forced landings and at the tops of the trees. The engine of his must differ high reliability, the ability to run effortlessly in the air and on the ground force mi of the pilot. But the staff should have the ability to transform, so that its parts can be had relatively quickly to collect the vehicle, allowing to reach a forced landing to the nearest shelter.

“HUMMINGBIRD” FROM CALIFORNIA

Held in the fall of 1991, sports bilateral meeting of American and Soviet missile-modelers winner in the class S4B was Robert Park, a native of the state of California. His rocket plane “Hummingbird” for all the apparent simplicity has a number of original technical solutions. One of them is separating the propulsion unit. Second — change the camber of the wing by the deflection of the flaps.

BUILT – IN JOURNEY

BUILT - IN JOURNEY

My technical career began with as long as I can remember. Of course, it all went with models and a variety of useful things. Was born my simple DIY in the end the General court, in the pantry. Had to rejoice and this placement: because others do not have a roof over your head. After meeting in 1965 with “M-K” appeared and my first serious work — a scooter with a engine D-4 and the wheels from the scooter. He was like “Vyatka” in miniature. Then there was the publication of “Ant” E. Molchanova, amphibians Chumicheva, “Autosale”. It was they who gave me the idea of building a car of his own design. Knowledge was not enough, welding is not owned, details are sorely lacking, but still started…
