SCHOOL OF AIRCRAFT (PART 4)

SCHOOL OF AIRCRAFT (PART 4)AIRPLANE FOR TWO. Use of a low powered engine in a two-seater suggests several options of its aerodynamic layout. If not enough power, you can increase the load-bearing properties of the wing, increasing its area (and in the first place – scope). As an example, this approach can cause a plane to the ATL (the company “Robin”) and a series of French double units of the company, “Fournier”. These machines are made entirely of plastic and is fitted with lightweight motors air cooling capacity from 60 to 70 HP wing Area from 10 m2 and a span of about 10 m.

AMATEUR SPRAYER

AMATEUR SPRAYERI made it for the treatment of plants with pest garden. Gathered from local funds, mostly from the motor from the sewing machine, and gear-type oil pump of the motorcycle “Ural”. Installed them on a common base and joined the long drive shaft. The convenient sprayer that attaches to the wall of any suitable container (bucket, tank, pot) with a clamp and a bolt with a nut.

THE HOPPER WITH MOTOR

THE HOPPER WITH MOTORincreasingly, in an editorial post meet the voluminous packages of drawings and descriptions of improvised microvesicles. Their fundamental difference from development of previous years – a successful combination in the construction standard and improvised units. The second important detail – the sharp improvement in appearance, a bold design decision. On these pages we present to the readers micromatics, which fully apply the characteristics set forth above.

WITH CARING FOR THE EARTH

CARING FOR THE EARTHThe future of our country, its science and industry will soon begin to identify those who are now sitting at their desks in schools, in the classrooms of technical schools and vocational schools. What knowledge and skills they will get today, tomorrow will depend on the quality of scientific and technical developments, the level of our industry and the competitiveness of products, the development of the national economy.

AVAILABLE FOR BEGINNERS OR RACING FLAT FUSELAGE

AVAILABLE TO NEWCOMERS, OR RACING WITH A FLAT FUSELAGEFor a year came into effect new rules on aviation sports, which legalized “school” subclasses of cord aircraft. One of them circuit racing vehicles. Different from “adults” only permit flat fuselages, these models opened the way for many boys in the world-class F2C. For anybody not a secret that, more than in any other class, there still existed an insurmountable barrier for the transition from academic to sports cars. Yes, actually, race training simply did not exist. If you have simplified aerobatic, speed and attack models, racing are required in the beginning to create a championship design. And that was to make the boy who have not yet know which side of the plane take. The classes of racing had to be postponed at times when coming to and experience with different materials, and there will be knowledge in the challenging sport.

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.
