“I looked at the ship, which was in a few minutes to go in the unprecedented flight.

Our magazine wrote many times about the reader’s development of engines for different homemade cars, planes, cars, hovercraft, and even for aircraft operated with the process of technical creativity. These enthusiasts pursue basically the same goal — the creation of relatively light weight of the engines, which power would fill a gap in the row engines of industrial production and would achieve the diys satisfactory performance.
Komsomol construction project of the century called the Baikal-Amur mainline, the first group of builders which came here directly from the XVII Congress of the Komsomol. And today from all over the country to impact the construction site go to the envoys of the League, comes appliances. Go further miles of railroad tracks, and the entire path will reach 3 thousand km with extra: taiga jungle and mountain ranges, permafrost — in the most difficult conditions, requiring not only the labor heroism, but also continuous innovation, bold engineering solutions, modern technology.
Torpedo and missile boats are the most popular objects for modelling among novice modelers — they are not so complex and multi-part, as the larger ships and vessels, besides because of lower scale factor to produce a relatively larger elements of such a model much easier.
Modelers in different fields continue to explore for new areas of application plastic bottles from under carbonated drinks. On some designs that use these lightweight and durable containers that have been highlighted in the pages of “M-K”. Our today’s publication — about two boat with hulls of these vessels: rezinomotornaya-boats-catamarans. On one of them as a mover used the propeller, and the other air.
Mini tractor built for a friend, a neighbor. The machine is designed for layout of the infield, clearing of snow from driveways and walkways, towing a cargo trailer. The engine and gear shift – from the car “Oka” (welded differential). Transfer case and the bridges – from the “Niva” car without alterations.
At the Moscow city competitions on indoor models in 1975, first place went to Evgeny Ermakov. His model is a copy of the “blériot XI” rubber engine showed in the three games great duration: 60, 64, and 50 C. None of the Soviet airplanes have not demonstrated a flight duration rezinomotornaya room-models. How is “micro-Bleriot XI”?
Caravels, clippers and Brigs have long become history, but the sail disappeared with a blue ocean space. It appears not only in the Sunny tropical latitudes, but in the harsh Antarctic waters, and the Arctic circle. Mnogomachtovy training sailboat gigantic and small compared to them, sports yacht to this day ply the seas and oceans.
