Amateur microelectroni becomes more and more tangible scale. We can safely say that the passions of individuals it has become a new and, moreover, a massive kind of scientific and technical creativity, mobilizing the hidden potential of people, as well as possible contributing to the wide dissemination of aviation knowledge among young people and training for one of the most complex industries — aviation.

RC — FOR ALL
Simple radio-controlled model aircraft. Considered to be the creation of radio controlled model aircraft — the inheritance of true craftsmen-modelers. Many also think that a good RC-model to do at home is almost impossible There is also a view that it is easier and cheaper to buy original parts kit and assemble the model, developed by professionals to fly which is guaranteed to be decent.
BUILDING A CAR
ACCORDING TO THE RULES. Twenty years ago there was an extensive debate: to allow or deny self-made cars? The idea of their buildings were resistant opponents. The latter believed that “homebrew” is driven by the mere desire to get the lowest cost vehicle. Argued that such transport is made in the handicraft way, appearance is far from perfect and will not decorate the streets. But, more importantly, it can even be dangerous, as an Amateur production does not meet the requirements of industrial technology. In addition, skeptics have suggested that the need to use scarce parts can push fans to bypass the distribution network and other abuse.
SELECTAMARK “MALEK”
Numerous family water bikes added another interesting machine designed by our reader — engineer G. Ovchinnikov from Dnepropetrovsk. Ovchinnikov — motorist. Therefore, the main task for himself, he put the establishment of such a water bike which can be transported to krasivom the trunk of the car.
WING — ON THE RISE
The peculiarity of the proposed model rocket class “Hawk” — the displacement of the wing at takeoff. As this increases the area of the tail section, shifting the center of pressure of the model. The eye receives greater stability in flight with the engine running.
MALYSHOK LAYS A SKI TRACK
After our magazine began to publish materials about motonartah, created by enthusiasts of technical creativity, the number of such vehicles built by Amateurs has increased dramatically. Many of them according to their operating characteristics, reliability and original design solutions of individual units are not inferior to motoneta by the industry. It fans belongs priority in the use of metal tracks instead of rubber, which become unusable at low temperatures; it has conducted a number of experiments with different wheels (spiked wheels, screws, conical paddle wheels, multi-tracks, etc.).
GLIDERS LIDIA KOCHETKOVA
Start 30-ies was a time of rapid development of Soviet gliding. The newly constructed plant produced serial training gliders and sent them to all parts of the Soviet Union for gliding schools, stations and groups.
MICROMATIC WITH A STROLLER
Built by A. Tkachuk from Togliatti, Kuibyshev region. Engine D-5, he put on an ordinary scooter. Front brake of racing Bicycle, rear — drum type, the battery is in a wheelchair. Maximum speed — 40 km/h.
FOLDING RECUMBENT
I — a longtime and devoted reader of the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor”. And now decided to write about my velomobile, which has created, as they say, “on the knee”.
CASTING OF PLASTICS
The details of the models are usually made of plastic or metal by machining. However, when they have much better detail molding plastic in a plaster mold. To prepare plastic from acrylic powder AKR-7, zameshennogo on the solvent to a paste-like state. Both of the required components are available in denture sets.
