“AIRCRAFT” OPTION

Anyone who has ever seen race speed RC boat, certainly will remember the “aerobatics” microcameras that they performed by teams of “pilots”.Requirements for such models. Without their accurate implementation is impossible to create a modern first-class equipment. To a large extent propulsion and manoeuvring properties of microcameras depend, in particular, of the total weight of the structure. Significant share of it is the weight of the body. A good solution to build the lightest boat without the use of a short supply of balsa with a minimum of fiberglass and epoxy resin, is proposed and successfully implemented the master of sports Vyacheslav Baryshevym. Speaking out of the competition at the open championship of Moldova, he was far ahead of its rivals.

E UNDER THE NEW RULES

E NEW RULESJudging by editorial mail, does not weaken the interest of students of avtomodelistov to the micro machines of the class AL with actuator. The widespread availability of sports equipment, possibility of carrying out of competitions at any time of the year to attract new boys into the ranks of the followers of automodelisme.

ASSISTANT AT PORTAGE

HELPER IN PORTAGEHigh summer in the polar Urals. Together with the chief of the survey party we were returning from the upper reaches of the river Secure. Breaking the latest on the slope Qurum, saw an unusual procession: animal-hunting trail that winds its way literally along each river, even in the taiga areas, slowly moving tanned guys, pushing a loaded cart. And although they were on a narrow “quilted” and jumped up and down on the protruding roots, the group easily went ahead. Truck, rather narrow and rather short, well passed among the bushes and young growth, fitting into the “dimensions” of the trail. “Wouldn’t it be easier to fit everything into a backpack, than to drag with itself still tapezco?” — we asked. The answer was unexpected: “Superfluous here — just the wheels, the rest belongs to boats: they are taking themselves”. Indeed, after a careful consideration of all elements are parts of a Dinghy. Even the handles were bars of the bulwarks.

RESERVES F2D

 

PROVISIONS F2DTruly consistently popular models class F2D. The possibilities of creative search is far from exhausted, and that no season, designers offer new solutions. An example is the model developed in aeromodelling lab at Home technical creativity of youth, acting at the black sea shipbuilding plant in Nikolaev. Modern scheme (the wing with the recommendations in the ravine tail plane rudder) processed under readily available materials, and high performance characteristics, vitality and great adaptability Assembly and repair had been preserved. Speaking with such equipment at the Republican youth games, a crew of young athletes DTM — Swiderski A. and S. Zhigunov — has become one of the winners of the competition.

SCHEMATICE FOR TOMORROW…

SCHEMATICA FOR TOMORROW...Most modelers relation to schematic gliders and rezinomotornaya, to put it mildly, condescending: “three stick a piece of tissue paper and even after running not immediately fall to the ground!”. But such models, which will meet in almost every circle, was designed almost in the beginning of the century and has reached our days unchanged. Not our if fault is that? It may be worthwhile to try to create something more modern, overcoming the neglect of “chemcam”?

ELLIPSE VS CIRCLE

ELLIPSE VS CIRCLETo use a bike instead of round sprocket Ellipso suggested in 1892 Professor V. Prusakov. He decided to put the rods along the minor axis of the ellipse that has allowed more efficient use of the power of the cyclist. Experiments have shown that even an inexperienced rider on a machine with the elliptical sprocket expends energy approximately 30% lower than on moving with the same speed filemashine with a round sprocket. And according to the American engineers, the use of oval zubchatki increases the average speed of a cyclist by about 14%.
