RETURN TO BOOMERANG

THE RETURN OF THE BOOMERANGToday the state of technical creativity of pupils, I think we all know — it is deplorable. And even a talented teacher to inspire children is becoming increasingly difficult. One of the reasons the sharp deterioration of the material base of non-school institutions that lead to exclusion from group work sites that require long time to manufacture. It is possible to offer teachers some technical circles (primarily — aircraft modeling) to include in the plan of work of the first year of lessons build exotic aerodynamic projectile like a boomerang. Experience shows that it is quite affordable for newbies. Requires wood and simple tools: a plane, a knife, a rasp and sandpaper. Production time is two or three classes.

“THE WOLVERINE” GOES WITHOUT A TRACE

The Rover was designed and custom-made joint stock company “Sa-ratowanie”: here is a badly needed vehicle for the delivery of operational outreach to places of accidents on power lines. These lines are, as usual, draw where on the roads to speak of. In good weather only army GAZ-66 is still able to build there track. In the offseason, almost as in the song: only helicopter can fly. Mari Rover turned out to be what we need. For four years he has served the energy sector and still on the go. This was confirmed by A. P. Smolkin, head of the fuel and transport service of JSC “Saratovenergo”. Not once, not twice “Wolverine” rescued repairmen. And not just for work but also for hunting and fishing. On the question of what the design drawbacks revealed during exploitation, Alexander only then said: “have more powerful Engine… at least from “zaporozhtsa”.

MIG-25: THIS AND POLYOPIA

THE MIG-25: THIS AND POLYOPIA-Models, if they are perceived as more or less concrete something resembling a real airplane, was and will be the most popular among “civilized” modelers. Sports car designed for “combat” conditions of hard competition, for all their attractiveness, have become so over-engineered that to take up their construction venture a few units.

Stand Prokopii (they include the greatest part of the products of foreign firms!). Same for Amateur enthusiasts have created many very popular available subclasses. We, unfortunately, now more or less cultivated only a subclass cord polycopy. Yesterday the interest remained at a high level. He had gone among modelers — I hope so — and now. And that’s why we offer our readers a new unexplored direction that conforms to the framework of the existing rules. It is about creating non-traditional polycopy (and there may be a range!). Due to the attractiveness of a General nature such Prokopy and unusual schemes or designs they hope will be able to help bring active attention to a curious subclass.

ELECTRICS – THIS IS PROMISING

Currently in the world wide development and steady recognition of the electrics — RC aircraft with electric motors. In particular, this is due to the creation of and access to medalistki market a wide range of DC motors (with capacity from 25 to 1500 W under its own weight from 60 to 700 grams), Nickel-cadmium batteries of special power series (capacity at low weight without damage to give currents up to 150 A and fast charge currents up to 10 A), as well as special electronic control elements (with small dimensions and mass, switching currents up to 150 A).

THE DYNAMICS OF THE RESONANCE EXHAUST PIPES

The use of the resonance of the exhaust pipes on the engine all model classes allows us to dramatically improve athletic performance competitions. However, the geometrical parameters of the pipes are determined, usually by trial and error, since to date there is no clear understanding and clear interpretation of the processes occurring in these gas-dynamic devices. But in the few sources of information on this subject are contradictory findings, which have an arbitrary interpretation.

GLIDING CAR…

PLANING A CAR...Curious views accompany this anipa everywhere. And no wonder — too unusual looks drown it in the car… a boat on wheels. We are talking about a vehicle that exists so far in a single copy— planing of the amphibian Triton. It was built by a man who, it would seem, very Dalen. D. T. Kudryachev not constructor, and a professional musician for a long time akademicheskom worked in the Moscow musical theatre named after K. S. Stanislavsky and V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko.

NORTH LAGUNA

NORTHERN There are few enthusiasts, capable in difficult conditions to undertake the construction of a homemade car. To undertake and perform the scope of work for the design, construction and debugging, which forces only the factory design Bureau. Especially such a vehicle which offers the readers the author from Tyumen A. A. KLUNK (see photo on the cover of “Modeller-designer” No. 10 of 1996). His Laguna looks attractive even with the abundance of the streets cars of the most modern brands. The local wits say about the creation of his countryman: “Car? “Nine”? “Carlotta”? No, guys, hand-job!”

GLIDER “CD”

GLIDER This svobodnymi glider — simple, durable, reliable and moderately “volatile” — was created as a training. It was assumed that newcomers in the process of its manufacture and operation will quickly master techniques of the work with the model aircraft materials and will gain the skills to adjust and run the model. However, tests have shown that among its advantages is joined by terrific “volatility” on the level of specialized osakryl models championship.

FOLDABLE MOTO – CULTIVATOR

FOLDABLE MOTO - CULTIVATORWhen creating mechanical prepolitical, tillers and other small tools, the tinkerers are facing a number of problems: from the study of kinematics (reliability, compactness, and originality of technical solutions), acquisition for the planned machines of the nodes of parts (cheap motor, for example) and ending with the Assembly and debugging of the whole structure. How to overcome the most common difficulties and become the owner of a quite workable tiller, is published below material.
