TRUCK TENANT

TRUCK OF THE TENANTTransform an old truck motorcycle IZH-type I was going for a long time. At first I wanted to make something like a scooter “Ant” (like the truck, by the way, once told a “M-K”). However, the design was unreasonably heavy and bulky. And besides, it needed a massive differential or, in extreme cases, overrunning clutch, and to build all this in the country, in a home workshop, it was pure utopia.

FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH MDS

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MDSThe race for sports results brought in the “school” subclasses of automodelisme to professionalize technology. To replace the familiar MK-17 came potentially more powerful engines of the brand MDS. However, if the “Juniors” were already known methods of dealing with their numerous “ills”, the new motors asked the number of problems and issues. But anyway, after a considerable number of specific modifications of MDS reserves its power MK-17.

SCHOOL AIRCRAFT (PART 2)

SCHOOL OF AIRCRAFT (PART 2)In the previous issue of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” readers acquainted with the design of the aircraft “Cree-Cree” of Michel Colomban, who received a truly worldwide fame. According to many aviation experts, aircraft types “KRI-KRI” close to the limit of miniaturization, while some Amateur designers are trying to create models of even smaller size. However, when reducing the size of the aircraft becomes more dynamic, increasing its angular speed, the movement becomes korotkoperiodnye, causing reduced reaction time of the pilot action on the rudder. And at some point it may be insufficient for normal driving.

IN THE AIR “SCHEMATICA”

IN THE AIR Elegant appearance, ease of fabrication, lack in construction materials in short supply, good flight characteristics are qualities that distinguish a schematic model of the airframe designed in the laboratory of aviation technology rut of Kazakhstan. Such models young Almaty residents repeatedly became winners of various competitions. Maximum results in all rounds is not uncommon when using the proposed “schematicity”. And flight characteristics of the glider was so high that it had to be equipped with a matchlock device forced landing. Without it, many models disappeared in terms.

THE TRACK ON THE TABLE…

ASSEMBLY ON THE TABLE...Performance with external power supply grade E-2 is very popular with beginners — they are not too complicated for their production does not require scarce batteries, electric motors and materials. Odkako for debugging such models it is desirable to have at hand a track : after all, every improvement micromachine aimed at the growth of its speed, should promptly be evaluated by the designer in order to proceed to the next stage of modernization.
