FLYING OVER THE TRACK

FLYING ON TRACKDesigning patterns, usually always takes place in several stages. It is almost impossible to make a decent model, once having passed a way from calculation and drawing to stitched wing Mylar film. Typically, this is only the first step in creating the model. The following will be the flyby of the model and its numerous improvements. And only when to improve the model through modifications, it will be impossible, on paper, a second version of the model, which absorbed all the best from the first and supplemented by all those. it was impossible to implement in the first version, with improvements.

“BOAT”-SNOWMOBILE

He was born and I grew up in that land of mother Russia, where the land most of the year is under a thick cover of snow, a reason those places is considered the birthplace of Santa Claus. Perhaps that is why along with General interest in engineering of particular interest to me has always evoked the snowmobile machine. To have such was my childhood dream come true. When I grew up and learned to do many things with their hands, decided to make its design. By the time I’ve not only studied the device snowmobile vehicles, but was able to critically evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this technique.
