Many modelers, including the tracks, with a sense of nostalgia refer to the “veterans” of the automotive industry. And really, there’s just something incredibly appealing in those completely outdated, historic machines.Those who want a little diversion from the high-speed super-fireballs, dominating in all areas of modelistica capistrani, we offer today to play a very unusual prototype. Thus, despite the seemingly unfavorable ratios and proportions of the machine, to build in its explanation of the trace is not so pointless. The fact that the trace model uses the engine proposed in our journal No. 7, 1994, and having a number of invaluable advantages for copies of this type. Its big torque at low rpm doesn’t do high-speed microcomputers and very dynamic pickup that sometimes is more important than an abstract absolute value of the maximum speed.
In October 1996 in the Udmurt Republic celebrated the 65th anniversary of the system of children’s technical creativity. In 1931 in Izhevsk was opened the first children’s technical station, later received the status of Republican. Over the years many students RSUT became heroes of the Soviet Union, doctor of technical Sciences, honored workers of science and culture, managers of industrial enterprises, masters of sports. Best work 236 young technicians Udmurt Republic were awarded medals VDNH USSR, many leaders awarded gold and silver medals, received the title of laureates of the NTTM, 42 pupil participated in the international exhibitions in Japan, France, Germany, Belgium and other countries.
Tourist boat-amphibian “AMFA” was built by Vitaly G. Lebedev 35 years ago. Over many years of operation it is, of course, has undergone several upgrades, but inherent in it original constructive ideas are outdated. AMFA is still pleasing to his Creator and his family, demonstrating on the water and on land of excellent quality. In the late 50-ies, when life after the war became easier and the children have grown up, I wanted to show them new places. We lived almost on the Bank of the canal Moscow — Volga, and water transport, as you know, the cheapest. So was born my idea to build a boat.
Today 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 new rules of competition in the class of models of “air combat” prohibit the use of glow engines without mufflers. Offers its readers the most successful I have developed silencers for the engine CSTOM is 2.5. It consists of a clamp, camera jamming, staples, lid and M3 screws with spring washers.
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”.
-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.
