UNUSUAL LAYOUT

UNUSUAL LAYOUTWe all somehow got used to the fact that in the model aircraft competition “Experiment” most of the participants performs with apparatus of the type “flying wing”. Today, however, experimenting with such models is possible only in the sense to improve sporting results in the institutionalized rules of the subclasses. More serious problems “flying laboratory-wings”, as thoroughly investigated in aerodynamics to solve. The results show these models are much lower than conventional sports.

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.

SNOWMOBILE-“CARTOP”

SNOWMOBILEImagine readers of the venerable magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” simple in construction and small in size snowmobile, it is available for self-construction. It was designed so that there was no problems with spare parts (for example, there is no single-point lubrication: ball bearings – closed, all sleeves are durable: metallografitovyh and PTFE, and can buy them at any auto shop).

RECUMBENT FOR KID

RECUMBENT FOR KIDThe idea to design children’s recumbent came to me not by accident. The fact that all of the current children’s pedal cars are not without drawbacks. The idea of the idealized child recumbent folds, in my opinion, from the following functional features: collapsible design; similarities with the car; ease of use and storage; maximum comfort for your child.

THE WINGS OF THE PILE

THE WINGS OF THE PILEMechanical properties and geometry accuracy of load-bearing planes of flying models is largely dependent on technology, build their skeleton. The most known and widespread technique of carrying out of Assembly works with the use of flat boards, not strictly the existing slipway. However, it has a number of disadvantages. To take at least extremely uncomfortable and far from accurate installation of a wide rear edge with concave-convex profiling plane.

ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF MASTERS

ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF MASTERSIn the “M-K” № 5 for 1988 was placed the story about the interesting experience of meeting the demand of young athletes to modelistica products. The Taganrog plant Priboy began issuing the namesake of the sets of semi-finished products for the construction of the cord racing car. And the development of micromachines have been carried out by gorsyut.
