THE WAY TO “EAST”

THE WAY TO The subject of today’s article – geophysical rocket R-2A. In previous publications we described in detail the technology of making copies of R-1 and R-2. The same technology used to create the model of R-2A. Will not be superfluous once more to tell for those who have not read those numbers.

I want to draw the reader’s attention to the fact that a copy of the R-2A for the competition will undoubtedly be more difficult than the previously described R-1 and R-2. But it justifies itself. First, the presence of side boosters (containers) due to the complexity of manufacture of the Central block leads to an increase in points for “the stand”. Secondly, if you do the ejection side of the mortars in the model (but more on that below), increased the rating for the flight demonstration.

THE WAY TO Model-a copy of the ballistic missile R-2

In 1951, took arms ballistic missile R-2 (product 8Ж38), created under the leadership of S. P. Korolev. Its performance characteristics were: missile launch weight of 20 to 300 kg, the maximum flight range is 576 km, mass of warhead – more than 1000 kg. R-2 to improve accuracy in lateral direction had a system of the frequency control with two antennas on the body, weight an untucked missiles – 4430 kg.

TRAILER CYCLISTS

Trailer cyclistsOn a conventional two-wheeled Bicycle much gear not to take, even if it is equipped with a trunk. Meanwhile, the need from owners of these machines frequently. It is therefore advisable to make to the bike trailer.On the construction of such a two-wheeled trailer said Zbigniew Hyun-nel and Andrew Fedoruk in the Polish magazine “Mlody TECHNIK”, article from which prepared this publication.

The snowmobile, which, the story goes, collected the tenth-grader Sergey Sorokin from the Altai village of Ust-Kamenka. This is not surprising. Equipment guy is fond of since childhood – for eight years, he has been in the CCC (children’s creativity Center) to the circle of “Small appliances”. In a compilation of drawings and design layout and transmission schemes of machine assisted group leader Viktor Aleksandrovich Kurbatov. Responsible welding works helped to run his father – Boris Andreevich. Everything else until the processing of parts on machine tools, has fulfilled himself. In total, Sergei built a snowmobile for about a year, the Assembly took almost four months, from autumn to spring. And until the snow melted, I managed it only to test, “Ispahan” everything drifts around the house. But now revealed some shortcomings, which for the next season is going to be eliminated.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING

Sure: compact welding machine (ESPA), the merit of which is guaranteed by the protective electronics and the environment carbon dioxide, in any sector will not be superfluous, Especially in the repair of the lining of the machinery or of the vehicle, as well as carrying out permanent joints of thin (for example, aluminum or steel) sheet, when to avoid burn-through area of the heating of the metal should be minimal, but not to the detriment of the quality of the weld.

“QUICK” BACKUP

Transformiruyushcheesya backup for currant, gooseberry and other bushes are easily made from steel wire with a diameter of 5-8 mm (“rod”) and this type of poles. And with the minimum expenses of forces and time. The posts will be segments of “rod” after their lower ends are pointed and the top is bent in the form of eight. Rings of such a spring eights need to deploy at an angle to each other, put inside a metal or plastic tube, wooden stick — the future of the joists, to allow the rings”Samohval” slightly to straighten. The reliability of the resulting connection is called, guaranteed.

COUNTRY AND A PRETTY GOOD

COUNTRY. AND QUITE GOOD

The constructor of this truck — Eugene N. Evsikov already familiar to our readers for the publication of “Plows, carries and even sawing” (see “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 5 for 2002). In the article they talked about made them little tractor. Now we present another one of his car — mini truck.
Evgeniy N. — senior designer with 40 years of experience of the famous helicopter plant. Mil. Designed and built an electric truck is under be the rotary-wing machines — reliable and practical. In addition, it reviewed the simplicity and accuracy that ensured consistency and quality of execution of each node. The first time the photo of the mini-truck was published in the “Model designer” № 6, 2002, under the category “Panorama photos of readers ‘letters”.
