The first development, which we publish, is a universal glider of class “Standard”, called “pennant-4”. Characteristics, it is approaching to widespread machine “Brazil”, but has a number of original nodes, that facilitate and accelerate Assembly and disassembly. The device has been extensively tested in various flight conditions. His flight main advantages: the minimum gliding angle, extended speed range, the ability to execute turns of small radius on all speed range, softness, and ease of management.

Usually when we in the club EN-route modeling at the Tushino syt in the beginning of the school year come the newbies, they are already at the first lesson confides that they want to choose for your first model as a prototype? nail last season Ferrari, the unusual six-wheeled “McLaren” or the unthinkable, PA elegance “Carrera” GT class.
Dream master the air ocean has long been concerned with humanity. This is reflected in the legends of antiquity, and the works of scientists of antiquity. The mythological wings of Icarus were made of feathers bonded by wax. Leonardo da Vinci, developing a frame structure of the wings, hoped to move without hands, and stronger leg muscles.

Maneuverability it aroused universal surprise: a complete course “cocoon” was unfolding just in one place!
Despite all the difficulties of the post-Soviet time, the interest of our young citizens for the modeling are gone, and the ranks of the students, is passionate about making the existing car, ship and plane models with the subsequent participation in sports competitions, are constantly replenished in the circles of technical creativity.
Many professions small all-purpose Ka-26 in he became a forest firefighter. A simple device for extinguishing fires developed at the Leningrad scientific research Institute of forestry. It is a cable device with an outboard tank for collecting water from nearby ponds in flight.
In the construction of models of domestic aircraft such as TB-1, TB-3 and other required shirred casing, which is coated frame model. To make this trim easy. For this is the “rolling mill”, shown in the figure. For its production choose two of the same gear Ø 20-30 mm. of the same size will be the diameter of the rolls. The base of the machine — dural channel. To it with screws attached two dural pillar thickness of 8 mm. Between them there are two rolls with a length of 100 mm. the Axle shaft of the lower roll to freely rotate in the apertures of the columns (preferably without backlash), and the upper “floating” inserts of rectangular shape, which is inserted in a rectangular window racks. It is necessary to adjust the clearance between the rolls.
Shiny from the oil the heavy stack of sheets… How to approach it, how to raise and load? Until recently, this operation was quite time-consuming — each pack got tangled up in the rope and be lifted into a wagon by crane. Then had to climb inside and release the cable.

Many cyclists, especially in provincial cities and towns, and put “on a trick” their “two-legged horses” and in the winter time. But winter is winter.
