Flying cord “pilotage” — a beautiful sight, equally exciting for the athletes and spectators. Accordingly, among modelers-korovikov the number of adherents of flying is very high. And it could be much higher if not for problems with model aircraft engines. A small resource of internal combustion engines, the difficulty of obtaining fuel mixture, difficulty starting (especially in winter) — all of this contributes to the popularity of cord models with internal combustion engines in General and flight in particular.
The need to build a mini-tractor came to me simultaneously with the acquisition in the early 80-ies of the garden plots (receiving, as they said then). Those coveted six acres it was necessary to develop and sustain. I wanted to build a country house. Without mechanized assistant in this matter to do would be difficult. Industries such machines at that time almost was not allowed to get them even an acquaintance, it was almost impossible unless you’re a war veteran.
It is known that fish from a boat is better than from the shore — usually this fishing is much more successful. But the boat, at least the rubber there is not every adult lover of fishing. And where to get such a watercraft, for example, a young angler? Even the larger chamber of the wheel of the truck he to find easy. So inadvertently to pierce fish hook wonder. Meanwhile, the decision of the question to ensure yourself is reliable and cheap (if not free) craft lies under your feet. Using items that are discarded because they cannot be repaired or no longer needed, you can quickly build a good raft.
Competitions of different rank showed that as prototypes for the manufacture of contour models are used only a dozen types of aircraft. And to participate our aeromodelling circle in the next competition, it was decided to make a model rare prototype. Our choice fell on PIPER CAB, one of the most successful light aircraft, produced in mass quantities since the pre-war (1935).
For many years Hobbies of technical creativity as the main source of materials and machinery for me was a different sort of scrap yard. Out in my shed “migrated” all that seemed valuable to me, and was waiting for their application to varying design. Unclaimed gradually accumulated, and eventually the question arose: what to do with it? Would not go. Here and decided to maximize all these different glands in your new tractor. Design “Angara” started with a sketch drawing of the design. Then, after the detailed execution of working drawings, started construction. The result was, in my opinion, quite aesthetically pleasing, technologically advanced and reliable machine, with a reserve for possible future upgrades.
