THE MOTOR OUT…NAILS AND SCREWS

THE MOTOR OUT...NAILS AND SCREWSBefore copiers that manufacture aircraft models in the Mel scale, often raises the problem of simulating a power plant with a radial engine. Offers an unusual method based on the use of… conventional steel screws or bolts. First, you need to pick up screws with fine or medium threads, the outside diameter corresponding to the cylinder size of the engine. The screws are trimmed to length and with one edge sharpened needle files tapered tetrahedron (the angle and depends only on the number of cylinders). Then, treating the sharpened surface etched with acid, they oblizyvaet using a soldering iron.

REPAIRING THE BODY

REPAIRING THE BODY

It is known that the car repair the most common and time-consuming are body work. This files most often have purely mednitskii techniques, aligning mutilated steel shell with mallets, rubber or polyurethane hammer and finishing operations carrying out with soldering tin or lead. I can say that I have long abandoned this technology in favor of proven on dozens of dents and holes technology using epoxy resin, filler and fiberglass.

SAIL-MACHINE

SAIL-MACHINEFor millennia sail faithfully serve the people, helping them overcome the seas and oceans. But under the onslaught of steam and electricity, he had to concede the monopoly of the single marine propulsion. There was a period when the sails almost disappeared from the water expanses. And still thirst for romance, the desire to test their strength in single combat with the wind and waves in the soul of man died.

INEXHAUSTIBLE SUBJECT: THE DEAD EYE

AN INEXHAUSTIBLE SUBJECT: THE DEAD EYEModelers with experience know how difficult it is to produce copies of a sailboat hundreds most likely dead eye, which upholstered in the shrouds of masts, mast, Bram-mast and other elements. The manufacture of such micropetala is a very laborious task due to the complexity of the details and requirements for scale looks, greatly affecting the appearance of microporosity in General.

AEROBATIC “EXTRA”

AEROBATIC New built training model aerobatic aircraft surprised everyone, ourselves including. So successful was the combination of spectacular appearance (which is very highly valued by only pilots, as well as time of flight affects the evaluation of judges), the extraordinary simplicity and manufacturability, durability and good flight properties. Therefore, while the new aerobatic machine and is “preseminary” character, we named it “Extra”. It should be noted that the potential flight performance of this model is enough to perform the second sports category.
