BUILDING A CAR

BUILDING A CAR(Continued. Beginning at No. 10, 1975)
 
5. THE MOST CRITICAL NODES
 
Traffic safety and ease of control of desired self-made car, probably even more than serial. After all, “home” often run not too experienced drivers, and passengers do not have such protection, what is the serial car pressed steel body. So Amateur avtostroitel should pay particular attention to steering and brakes, and perfection of these mechanisms will have to achieve by simple means and without weighting of the car. The correct device of steering control and increase the vehicle stability, prevent excessive tire wear.

ARGUING WITH THE WIND

ARGUING WITH THE WINDIf you want to argue with the wind, taste the romance of the sea, to learn to manage sails, get to work. We recommend you to modern RC model yachts. It is possible to participate in competitions of any rank. It was designed and built by the instructor of the Sukhumi marine club, master of sports of the USSR, repeated champion of the country Anatoly Deineko.

THE TRACTOR BEHIND THE TRACTOR

The journal “modelist-Konstruktor” Simonov from the village of Saratov region. Podsosenki started reading twenty years ago. Holds a binder and writes it still. Loves to make homemade things to do with technology: collects tillers, tractors. These two tractors are the designs created in recent years. Both diesel. One (smaller) — with the engine from the Read more…

THE SLAD TO “TRAIN”

SLAD TO Racing airboat motor. In the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” is not just talked about RC racing boat with aerodiesel. In contrast to the models with the propeller for gliders with a propeller does not require complicated gear reducer and transmission: because the propeller is mounted directly on the motor shaft. And the engine for the model”train” to get much simpler: in any auto shop, you can buy a suitable 12-volt electric motor, for example, the one that rotates the windshield washer pump or used to Windows. It facilitates the work of the Modeler and allows without difficulty to produce an airboat even the novice athlete.

WAITING FOR HER CLOUDS

WAITING FOR HER CLOUDThe learning model is simple. So fly it close and low. Good sports model can produce only an experienced hand. It seems self-evident, isn’t it?

He developed PA Volgograd station of young technicians in the circle of the master of sports of the USSR Vladimir Bogdanov.

A CRANE WORKS ON THE PROGRAM

THE CRANE IS WORKING ON THE PROGRAMIt is made by a group of engineering students laboratory in the Sverdlovsk House of pioneers named after Yuri Gagarin. Appearance of the crane shown in figure 1. On the frame beam crane includes a traveling mechanism hoist (Fig. 2). Rope (cotton fabric) covers two rollers. The drive roller while rotating according to the movement of the hoist carriage, which moves freely through the corners like on rails.

“COMET” WILL BE MORE POWERFUL

Engine MD-5 Kometa is produced in large series for many years and is established on the models of different types. To simplify manufacturing and reduce the cost of manufacturing allows derogation from increased individual adjustment of the prototype. This leads to the fact that the production engines develop power below possibilities inherent in their design. Only individual samples with the perfect mix of details showing good results.

CARING MACHINE

CARING MACHINESometimes the competition for RC model, not obeying commands, is out of sight. Flies knows where the result of months of labor and expensive equipment. A simple automatic device developed gorsyut Alma-ATA will provide a forced fit of the model. It will stop the engine after some time after the failure of the receiver.

AEROPUER

AEROBARToday we’ll explain how on the basis of a moped or scooter (or rather, their main nodes) to make not too difficult aeropuer – a vehicle driven by a propeller. He walks well on ice and Packed snow. However, try to “teach” him like a snowmobile equipped with ski to overcome the drifts is not necessary, power motorbike engine for this purpose is clearly not enough.

MINI CHOPPER FROM SCOOTER

MINI-CHOPPER FROM SCOOTERSince childhood I dreamed about the chopper, stylish and respectable motorcycle that will feel confident on the road and graceful log-in steep turns. Finally my dream partly came true (or rather, I made it myself) — and I have a similar camera. Let not a chopper, as it were, a reduced copy, but riding on it is also a pleasure.
