FLYING… ON THE GROUND

FLIGHT... ON THE GROUNDFLIGHT... ON THE GROUNDSvobodnaya radio control model airplanes, gliders and helicopters is currently being implemented with the help of tiny transmitters that have levers or buttons to apply for the model of the desired commands. All of these devices have nothing to do with the controls of a real aircraft and need to develop specific skills and reactions. This means that the experience of control appears to be useless in the future, say, in the case of the transition has mastered them to the training flights in a glider, and especially on the plane.

PEAR IS LIGHT

To fill the tank of a car in the field — for example, from a barrel or tank of the other vehicle drivers often use a simple hose and the so-called “sucking method”, creating a vacuum mouth, with a hit of petrol. You can avoid trouble if you make a simple mini-pump. For this elastic (flexible) hose with a diameter of 10 — 15mm in length 1 — 1,5 m at a distance of one third the length of the slot and insert the hole with a diameter of 10 mm nozzle length 50 — 70 mm from the same hose, and into it insert the tip of the medical pears (preferably the largest). In the end you will have a trouble free, simple in construction, durable pump (even if he is lying among the tools in the trunk — one piece of his there was nothing to fear).

ROCKETMODEL CLASS S8F

ROCKETMODEL CLASS S8FReaders of radio-controlled model copy of the missile and aircraft interceptor BI-1, the parameters of which correspond to rocket gliders S8F Recall that this flying class combines the model with a mass of 500 g with engines of 40 — 80 N.with. Among the requirements for models of this class — the prohibition of splitting the model into two or more parts (including the engine after the trigger should remain in the container). Besides the active part of the flight (take-off) should be straightforward — ascending spiral and loop invalid. Maximum measuring time of flight of the models in this class is 300 seconds.

“AEROHOD” FISHERMAN

At that time, when decided to build a snowmobile, any particularly original design decisions and was not planned — the car was needed as a winter vehicle. However when picked up the necessary components, materials and set to work, began to appear the idea of different constructive solutions of some nodes. Even had some time to suspend work on the construction of the snowmobile and “to consider” the entire structure again — on paper. In the end, some decisions were not only unconventional (maybe not new, but considerably forgotten and not found in modern machines), and some original. Note design features.

CARDS WITH AN ENGINE CAPACITY OF FIVE SQUARE METERSThe motor has been completely disassembled, and its dirty, greasy parts lying on the floor on spread out Newspapers. Vic sat next to me on his haunches, penetrating look gave details and stated authoritatively:
 
With this motor it will not work!
 
Sympathetically looked at me and said:
 
See for yourself. Piston rings (Victor bent one finger) no, magneto (he picked it up, skeptically fiddled with, put back in place and bent the second finger) ruined the clutch basket (there it went the third finger) can throw…

ORBITAL? YES, BUT THE EARTH

ORBITAL? YES, BUT the EARTHLYa LITTLE SENSATION. “After the invention was patented not only in Australia but also abroad, the curtain of secrecy that until recently hid work Ralph Sarich several parted. The look of the new motor is strikingly different from its predecessors. A prototype orbital engine is a solid disk with a diameter of 40.6 cm, a thickness of 12.7 cm and weighing about 45 kg, which are placed around the rotor of the combustion chamber… Engine Serica develops up to 200 horsepower. According to experts, in the mass production of orbital engine due to the simple design (only 10 moving parts) will cost many times cheaper motors used in the automotive industry at the present time”. This information was placed in the newspaper “Pravda” on January 20, 1973.
