“BEGINNERS”: A UNIVERSAL SOLUTION

Despite the many difficulties of various kinds that occurs at each step of the athlete or Amateur Modeler, RC aircraft not yet “died out” among the mass of the cart. Oddly enough, on the contrary, in recent years they are becoming increasingly popular Probably, this is due to an enduring interest in the most complex kind of modeling and at the same time on our appearance more than the poor modelistica “market” instrument of cooperative production. Not to say that it’s world-class products. But it is “down” above the same “Supramar” and is already able to satisfy the needs of novice and developing athletes — circuit decisions in a number of cooperative rulemaking and receivers close to the Western products.
For every one who was finally able to buy the coveted instrument, immediately the question arises a considerable difficulty: how to lay model? The solution of this problem on the proposed development.
 
The basic principles that served as the basis when designing the model: sufficient simplicity, accessibility and, most importantly, high performance properties at different flight speeds and specific loads. After creating working drawings and interconnection of the nodes was built three completely geometrically similar models differ from each other only power circuit and motor units (and consequently the specific load on the bearing surface). Tests of the three devices showed that with careful error free performance of the plane, its aerodynamic configuration satisfies the requirements within a wide range. All models without any problems can not run with the chassis, and with the hands; flight even in windy weather resistant; responsive control in all axes, and at smaller angles of deflection of the rudders degree of stability allows trust to fly RC, even for beginners. With a full rudder any modification of a micro-airplane with sufficient power of motor “twists” the basic aerobatics. Very broad opportunities both in terms of initial training and the development of skills of piloting this model with two-channel control (Elevator and ailerons). Of course, anyone can try the classic combination of Elevator and rudder dual-channel option. However, it appears. that such “beginners” not only will be limited by the degree of proteraiotita, but will also bring a number of useless skills in the complicated control principle.

Shown in the figures, the modification of aircraft was the main. It is designed for three-channel equipment (lot side part is about 350 g) and a good, reliable engine KMD. Requirements for high capacity are not required, since takeoff weight is in the range of 1350 grams without landing gear, and thrust enough even for unextended vertical pieces (this is, of course, adjusted the air screw). Lightweight same model in assassina performance have a takeoff weight of about 1000 g and confidently fly even with motors of the “Rhythm” or MK-12V. However, it is still better to use the same KMD, but working in a softer mode.
 
The fuselage

By construction, all parts and components quite familiar to modelers of any level. Therefore, in the manufacture of RC can not stop attention. I can only say that in any case the main link in the Assembly of power frames and components is used exclusively plasticized epoxy resin K-153. Cover all surfaces of the Mylar film is the average thickness on the glue “Moment” (cutback solvent for nitropaints) or N-88.

Advantages of flight characteristics “school” can say modelers another modification of the microplane. But before that it is useful to deal with the masses of the individual parts of the proposed machine. If you look closely at the weight distribution of the apparatus, it is easy to see that directly on the frame (with a takeoff weight of 1350 g) only 760 g, and the average “heaviness” version, even including the mass loss for close-fitting, varnishing and painting. Rough calculations give the net weight of the average strength of about 680-700 g. Now try to repeat the weight distribution of the model, laying down the specific load-bearing surface, equal to 70 g/dm2. Such have many of the Western models built from kits manufactured there-packages. Sure, calculations will give unexpected results. The fact that during the takeoff weight 2540 g, and a constant weight of the side of the instrument is given a heavier power plant on the frame, it will be possible to take… twice more! This means that before you open the prospects of creating an extremely durable model. After all, double the stock weight definitely increases the thickness of all sheet metal parts in half and section the core elements 1.4. Draw your own conclusions… And we will only Express our astonishment, where “possible” to lay such a significant weight in sets for mail-order machines, the main material is balsa.
 
Finally, the angles of deviations of the rudders on the proposed “island”: the Elevator ±20°, rudder ±25° and the ailerons ±15°. As already mentioned, during initial pilot training is helpful to reduce rates due to the change of the shoulders of the transfer levers about half. It is necessary to note, based on its own and a rich foreign experience, the need for scrupulousness the selection of power sources “bot”; analysis of accidents statistics says that almost 80% of loss of equipment associated with our batteries, and especially batteries.
