In the environment of Russian Amateur designers a lot of those who gladly builds original cars, not only for themselves but also for their children. The website “Modelstructure” published and will continue to post photos and descriptions of these children’s cars.

AQUAPAD “DOLPHIN”
Dreams everyone has their own. Who about what, and Sergey Rudenko, an employee of city station of young technicians, in Slutsk, Minsk region, dreams of a children’s technology Park. And not only cherishes this dream, but slowly takes it. Top aides to him in this —the children, all the surrounding kids. Together they create the basis for future Park equipment. At the teen club Amateur designers “Original”, which Sergey Dmitrievich runs on a voluntary basis, already built about a dozen unusual machines: from moped to hydrometallation. The purpose of all machines the same: to serve children’s interests. So the young craftsmen design themselves, build themselves, themselves and ride.
It all started with aquapad “Dolphin”, which S. D. Rudenko came up to summer at the lake the boys had fun.
AT THE START OF THE MODEL-COPY
Very often the students see on television or in a magazine, the launch of the spacecraft, have a vital interest in how this happens. If I could build such a rocket! And-models are very close to real rockets: same shape, only the size is much smaller.
-Models of missiles play a big role in aerospace education of youth. In the process of working on them, “the rocketeer” learn to read, match and draw up the technical documentation, get acquainted with history of creation and development of space-rocket techniques, study design missiles. At the same time, the process of learning the fundamentals of designing and manufacturing of individual components and the whole model. In this creative process, develop skills of solving technical problems, chief of which is the creation of a flying copy of the rocket.
MINI-MOKIK
Mini makiki always use the boys great success. And for good reason! Small size, cost-effective, modern appearance, excellent performance — what more can you ask for? Maybe that’s why many of them roll up his sleeve so take tools. After all, if you try, you can do mokik, able to compete with serial two-wheeled machines. However, it is not very easy, but it’s worth it.
AIRBORNE PARAGLIDING
Design truck for paraglider was preceded by just the fascination of paragliding, which did not come at once. First flew airplanes (and flight certificate), gliders. But one day, fly a paraglider, got into it seriously. I think it is comparable to swimming to sailing. Only even better.
First, like most parable-Aristov, used for takeoff and landing conventional three-wheeled cart. Not going to say much about all her faults (they are known to the pilots para-glider). But the most unpleasant of them tipping forward and sideways with insufficient management skills dome on takeoff and landing. But for experienced paraglider on a truck is not immune from stalling—for example, when a side gust of wind. And this is very dangerous because the rollover more likely, the higher the speed, i.e. during takeoff and especially during landing.
MIKROAVTO FOR TWO
Frame double machine, dubbed “mouse”, welded from thin steel tubes. Front axle (Fig. 3) assembled from beams, two eyes and swing units of the front wheels. Axle are the axle adapted to pivot the sleeve at an angle of 98 ° and welded to it. Pivot arm has a bend of sheet steel with thickness 1.5 mm; pivot bushing it is attached by welding at an angle of 110°. Ring tail joints at the ends of the swivel levers are cut from steel pipe ø 12 mm.
The pivot bushing is provided with bronze bearing liners, through which is passed a pin pivotally connecting the sleeve with the lug of the front axle.
Wheel — steel, turned. In each are placed on two bearings (202 and 201), closed Salnikova washers.
The hub is fixed on the axis of the axle nut. Between the bearings inserted spacer.
VELOKART
A few years ago for her sons made a small recumbent (and judging by the size or design — it would be more accurate to call it melakarta). Children machine like, and they, along with the neighborhood kids for hours chased her down the quiet streets.
For a sample, took the simple design bezprovodnogo mini-car, the publication of which was in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 3 for 1977. That year, studying in the third grade, I convinced dad to draw me a subscription to the journal, a binder which in the following years I not only preserve, but still find in them much useful.
Now the sons of this car has grown, but the youngest often takes out her into the street, where among kids is a lot of wanting to ride in it. And he still does not refuse myself the pleasure pedal and the steering wheel a Cycling card.
BIPLANE CHERNIKOV
Last summer, the head asiacruise Vnukovo house of culture (Moscow) Amateur pilot, Andrey Chernikov demonstrated are designed and built with his own hands a single biplane rather complicated maneuvers over the airfield Expanse in the Vladimir region.
The plane does not yet have a certificate of airworthiness due to financial and organizational difficulties. However, it was built in accordance with the requirements for aircraft of this type. Today Andrey is your plane the readers of our website.
Before proceeding to describe the structure of the aircraft, will have to talk a little bit about the history of its creation And it was created ultralight aircraft (ULTRALIGHTS or ultralight) in the circle of aviation at Vnukovo DK. Guys, as in other similar clubs, has built various sports models were (and not without success) in the competition. Mastering the basics of the theory and practice of aircraft, the club came to the idea of building this aircraft, however small, on which it would be possible to climb into the sky.
FAST AQUAPAD
The court, using for movement the muscular strength of a man, never belonged to the category of speed. The only exception is racing boats for rowing, which is the most fleet of vessels musculoides. Due to their known good configuration and the most complete use of the muscle energy of athletes, boats-“eight” is capable of two-kilometer distance to reach the speed of 12 knots. But this does not mean that this speed is the limit of possibilities of human movement on the water surface. If you deviate from canonical constructions of rowing boats, designed for official competition, then there is a possibility of creating a spacecraft-muskurahaton reach speeds up to 20 knots!
