DESIGN-a NOVELTY IN the CLASS A1

DESIGN-a NOVELTY IN the CLASS A1

We present to readers-model airplanes to develop a student from Perm A. Onofriychuk quite unusual. He created the model of a glider is expressed by signs as a new approach to design construction and search in the direction of the design of a sports model and enhance its visual appeal. In continuous pursuit of sports results, we all seem to forget that modeling can be interesting not only from a design point of view. So why not try your hand (at least on the technique of the transition level) and as a graphic designer? If we can bring together these two parallel lines, you will be doubly rewarded for their work — you create the model will not be purely sporting “shells,” and these goods are high class. However, going on the way of improving the appearance of, nor in any way unacceptable to miss the clean design is in the end a beautiful, but poorly functioning model is even more flawed than perfect flying “snag.” If you entice design and design direction, try to consider this in their work.
The glider wing is rectangular in plan, small elongation, all-in-one. Profile PLANO-convex, the relative thickness of 11.5%. The wing connects to the fuselage with one screw of size 3×35 mm.
The main element of the wing is a single Central node, consisting of team strength rib-reinforced plates monolinuron and an attached oblique polonorum with elements of the longitudinal set. In the manufacture of finished parts you need to keep in mind that mostly they are processed in the stack, and the spar is part of them in round drilled holes, through which are held in the filing, and screws, tightening the pack. It is also useful to note that at the stage of preparation of parts is the easiest way to produce a partial profile of the ribs (completely profiled only the forehead and a straight area of the tail) to finish it after the wing Assembly. Installation of parts into a single frame on a flat bench, using epoxy resin. Other binders are not used, as the joints a bit, and they are all intense and very important.

Wing Assembly is done on epoxy glue.

Wing after polishing is to be bound long-fibre paper or thin Mylar film by a known technology. In the case of a film of plating is possible at the upper edge of the rib of the transition center at the “eye” to saw through the groove widths of 0.6— 0.8 mm, to subsequently using nylon fishing line to pull the film in the most difficult of the stitched area. In addition, if you want valid with the lower part of the profile in minervarya sections to glue the covering to the spar. The result is some semblance of a concave-convex profile, which improves load-bearing properties of the whole wing.
The fuselage design is simple and does not require special explanation. The only thing would like to stop the attention — detachable attachment of the tail boom. Best joint rail-beams with shanks dural side overlays wrap the threads with a minimal amount of glue. In this case, the strength of the connection meets all the requirements of reliability, and in case of accident to replace the I-beam will be more than just that. Similarly designed and empennage: for all its reliability in case of breakdowns easier not to repair the foam elements and cut and paste destroyed in their place newly made.
 
The side of the fuselage in the area of “cockpit” can be covered with a thin paper and put a picture reproducing equipment, instruments, control stick and pilot’s. Painting model — the taste of the manufacturer. It should be noted that the weight of the airframe reserves are very large and the decoration can not save.
