HYDROFOIL

HYDROFOILThis model was designed by students of Victor Pisarev, Alexei Knizhnikov and Nikita Novikov. They built it in the ship laboratory of the Moscow city Palace of pioneers. High speed of -10 m/s, stability on the course and high bench evaluation allowed the boys to take first place in the class of civil courts and become the champion of Moscow among younger students. The model was shown at the international exhibitions of technical creativity of schoolchildren in the United States and Canada. Given its description.

TRAINING PILOTAGEControl line model airplane. Analysis editorial reader mail shows that in recent years there has been increasing interest in modeling. We write and call the Pope in the memory of which still alive the memories of the numerous model clubs, the howl of the engines above kartodrome about the magical feeling of self-piloting flying models. All that they would wish for their children, but to introduce them to the modeling complicated, because a unified system of technical creativity is lacking today, and a few relevant institutions very rarely have the model aircraft clubs.

THE MOTOR BOAT “LADA-75”

BOAT Thousands of boats and boats, Amateur-built project of OKB “M-K”, travel through the water spaces of rivers, lakes and even seas of our vast country.

This is the result of a creative initiative, attempts on their own to adapt projects to local conditions, the search for new materials and technologies ensuring high quality products.

“KIROVCHANE”

Model aircraft with electric motors are interesting because they can be used for entertaining evenings of technique, theme camps and even in physics classes to demonstrate the lifting force of the wing. Of course, they can be the competition. The model is attractive because it is “weatherproof” — “universal” because it can run both in summer and winter, and in summer camp and in school.

BOAT-BAUL

BOAT-BAULAmong the boats built by Amateurs for their own projects, occupy a special place, as we now say, a “mini-design”. To them, undoubtedly, belongs and the boat is”baby”, created by our reader from Kiev N. G. Tarasyuk.
