SKIING IN THE SAIL

SKIING IN THE SAILThe desire to ski “with the wind” makes us resourceful athletes to invent a new sport: racing on skis towed behind a motorcycle (skijoring), boat and even horse. Today, it seems we are on the verge of “opening” another form of skiing-a tow sport where the athlete has to match the skills of the skier with the ability to manage a sailboat on the tires with very low pressure. Such towing is already popular among fans of winter tourism, as they allow us to travel long distances without special effort on the part of the athlete.

THE WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE START

Assigning the date of the training and competition of air or rocketmodeler, to provide almost everything: minutes to paint the starts of models of various classes, to provide participants with food and accommodation, provide them with transport service… the Only thing that it is impossible to foresee is the weather. However, the weather factors equally affect all participants, and the advantage is given to one who has knowledge of the conditions of the zone flying, pony manius physical basis of weather processes and their ability to make a competent assessment.

ONE WAY IS DIFFERENTIAL

SIDING INSTEAD

The need to have in personal possession a nimble and reliable metabolomic I (as probably many others in a similar situation) keenly felt, when he became the owner of a suburban area. On a mini-tractor of forces and means is not enough, therefore, decided to limit tillers, focusing on development that are found in binders “Modeller-designer”. The matter came creatively. As a result, fortune, which is published in the “Panorama” (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 10 of 1984). Collected for the first own hands a cultivator followed by a second, third… And now the fifth, successfully proven in practice design (Fig. 1).

RUBBER-ENGINE CHAMPIONS

RUBBER-ENGINE CHAMPIONS

The attention of all the adherents of the popular throughout the world class Ф1Б — rezinomotornaya expense of building a traditional model — we offer unusual today as on the content and orientation of the material. In it you will find detailed information about the almost unknown among Russian modellers school of design. We all have long been accustomed to the fact that championship technique is distinguished not only the highest flight data, but, as a rule, unique and complex design and manufacturing, in fact, irreproducible at the level of the capabilities of the average modeller. The proposed school, with its refined simplicity equipment is able to provide access n the heights of excellence almost everyone, regardless of their security or ability to make arrangements “space” of complexity and accuracy.

SHOWER FOR CAM

SHOWER CAM

Engine classic Vase (2101 -2107) is very reliable and durable unit, easy to operate and easy to maintain. However, he has his own “Achilles heel” — the camshaft, it is highly suffering from the so-called oil “starvation”, which occurs sometimes in well-warmed-up engine in two cases: when the oil is thoroughly liquefied, or when badly worn out oil pump and other components.

AIR BENDS

AIR TURNS

Young conovici-only pilots rarely taken for the creation of highly complex models. Basically they design a simple and feasible model of universal definition, which are equally suitable for testing of flight control avionics complex, and for competitions. We must remember that half of success on the performances of only pilots — the run-in, reliable motor. More suited KMD-2,5 and MDS-MDS or a 3.5-4 in export performance. It is simple, technological and, most importantly, “volatile” model — is proposed for the attention of young korovikov. Pilotage designed based on the available materials instead of lime for many parts, you can use high quality blanks from aspen, alder or poplar.

GARDEN MINI

MINI GARDENAmateur designers sometimes even adulthood may surprise the naive, and young, on the contrary, thoughtful and original solutions. And as an interesting personality, whose signature is a brief article describing the construction.

Stanislav GORYACHEV thought of his mini-tractor when he was 17 years old. Then started assembling. Collected, as he writes, “two summers”. Had to work from morning to evening. Thanks to the moral and material support of the parents (the father, for example, helped to sharpen and welding many of the details) the case was able to finish. The tractor, which Stanislav called “Asorensen”, helped the family work on the plot.

PIPE RESONANCE

PIPE RESONANCEIn the magazine we told about the methods of choosing the parameters of the resonant pipes (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 9 for 1995) for highly accelerated engines. Fulfilling the wishes of modelers, editors have been asked to continue this theme of the master of sports V. Fontecha from Cherkassy (Ukraine). As you know, at the time of opening of the exhaust window motor is formed as the shock wave represents the process of propagation of a pressure pulse with velocity V=20 sqr(T) (T — exhaust gas temperature in OK).

MANAGED YACHT “SOFKA”

CONTROLLED YACHT

We offer the modelers designed by athletes from the Czech Republic. It is simple in design, does not require scarce materials to build, has the original technology of housing and very good on-the-go. The manufacture of this mini-yacht will not present difficult even for inexperienced athletes. Those who have already accumulated some experience in composing the frames of the hull with the subsequent sheathing plywood, can reproduce the design in accordance with their habits. Before starting work you must perform a projection of the body in natural size on thick paper and cut them out. The obtained templates are used when marking pieces of foam thickness of 38-40 mm, which are then cut with a seam allowance of about 1 mm. In the plate of the foam forming the upper part of the body, perform the opening of the cockpit, which will be subsequently pasted the details of the cabins. Both the foam parts are joined with glue such as casein or PVA. After drying the binder, the billet is processed on the side view.

CONTROL LINE AEROBATIC

CONTROL LINE AEROBATICThe first control line aerobatic models that use the engine capacity of 3.5 — 7 cm3 modelers-athlete transferring from Junior level to senior championship… What it be? Youth as the original sample often chooses superprotein equipment of the world Champions or Europe and tries to copy it. In the absence of speciliaties on the model put serial domestic motor and… due to ignorance of technical and technological methods such copy get poor results and wasting time. The other extreme — a massive increase in checked malakhovich models. So there are “pilotazhki” with mediocre flight characteristics that don’t bring any sporting success.
