ON THE BASIS OF “ARROWS”

BASED ON In the manufacture of engine AG-1 used many components from mass-produced engines of domestic production. So, for example, cylinder, cylinder head with studs, a piston finger and piston rings — engine M-106, M — 115, crankshaft, shaft seal and the electronic ignition system with flywheel maggino — VP-150M. Carter taken from the widespread outboard motor “Arrow” (or “ZIF”), Perhaps the use of the cylinder-piston group crankshaft from the engine “IZH-Yupiter”. Additional mechanical treatment of serial parts is as follows.

TWO BLADES AND ONE MOTOR

TWO BLADES AND ONE MOTORSvobodnaya model helicopter. As they say, is new — is well forgotten old. Not so long ago we introduced readers model airplanes from the simplest Svobodnaya model helicopter — judging by the responses, a mini helicopter like you, our readers, Some even took the model for something contraption, missing in the article is the observation that these helicopters modelers created and launched in the early 50-ies of the last century.

WE CATCH THE MOMENT OF IGNITION

CATCH THE TIMINGMotorists know how important it is for diesel internal combustion engines proper installation of the moment of ignition — the ignition spark of the spark fuel in the cylinder before the end of the compression stroke. In theory it should occur exactly at the end of this cycle. In practice, use a small spark advance below the maximum dissipation was carried out at the beginning of the next measure — extension. Otherwise you will not get far: the motor is getting “greedy”, but “pulls” very bad.

THE ENGINE FOR ALL OF THE ELEMENTS

ENGINE FOR ALL ELEMENTSOR “15 HORSES”, WHICH WEIGH 12 POUNDS. In the range of domestic internal combustion engines which can be guided to create all-terrain vehicles Amateur designers, there are still no models working volume of 125 cm3, with sufficient specific capacity and acceptable specific weight (about 0.8—0.9 kg per horsepower). Attempts to adapt motorcycle engines — the M1A and the like — associated with a time consuming job to remove the gearbox and rework the ignition system to more easy and reliable. But if you have a good engine class 125 cm3 would increase immeasurably the possibility of creating light planes, ekranolyot and gliders.

THE FOG CREATES A SPEED

THE FOG, GIVING BIRTH TO SPEEDThe boat standing at the dock, nothing attracted attention. Except that instead of a outboard motor on it was a propulsion system with a propeller of relatively small diameter at the gliders it is usually much more. Engine, who worked on small gas gained momentum, howled, n suddenly the plane screw threw himself from a dense foggy cloud. The glider, dramatically picking up speed, reached the redan, and after a couple of minutes disappeared from view, leaving behind a trail of slowly falling.

STAMPS FOR SCHEMES

STAMPS FOR SCHEMESEach constructor of RC models knows how many times spent the time to draw a wiring diagram. In a hurry is not always possible to sustain the necessary proportions between the individual elements, thoroughly implement the conventions. And then this scheme is not only messy, unsightly, but it often creep annoying bugs and inaccuracies. What to do in this case? To help here you can the cliches. More precisely, a set of moulds from which to select the desired image of the scheme. There are only about twenty: resistor, capacitor, diode, transistor, transformer, etc.
