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.

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.

MODEL OF RIVER PASSENGER SHIP

THE MODEL OF RIVER PASSENGER SHIPRiver passenger ships — a very numerous class of vessels. Small flights of ships to last several hours. Passengers are protected from the weather and can relax in the soft comfortable chair. Large vessels are often built specifically for multi-day journeys and equipped with comfortable sleeping cabins. Small have a small draught and a displacement of up to 80 tonnes, that allows to operate them even in the rivers. A model of such “microlayer” is very beautiful and has good driving characteristics.

NON-MOTORIZED RECORD

NON-CHAMPIONGlider-soaring leader A-15 created by the design team, headed by the General designer, Antonov ASTC, in 1959 and was designed with the latest achievements of gliding in the USSR and abroad. Built in series and for many years was extensively exploited in gliding clubs in the country and abroad, for example in Hungary and the Netherlands. It has more than 20 national and world records.

FLYING ON THE SIDE

FLIGHT TO THE SIDEModel of a catamaran-class “P” with a sail-wing. Few people remember that the apparatus used for movements the aerodynamic forces, was created more than five thousand years ago. It was a self-propelled vessel with a sail propulsion, which worked exactly the same as the wing of a modern aircraft. The only difference is that the lift force of the aircraft wing pointing up vertically, and the pulling force of the sail horizontally. In fact, the movement of the sailboat is the same flight, only on the side.

SCHEMATIC MODEL OF THE AIRCRAFT

A SCHEMATIC MODEL OF THE AIRCRAFTSchematic flying models — the basis of mass sports: Effective speech with “sketchy” the competition gives right to assign the Junior category. The first such model with rubber motor was created just 12 years before the flight of the first aircraft Mozhaiskogo, i.e. in 1870. So what should the modern student to repeat what a hundred years ago managed to create only a talented engineer?

SAWS FLYWHEEL

SAWS... THE FLYWHEELModels — the design tender. And Reiki it requires mainly fine. The cross section of 1X1 mm is probably the most common workpiece. Their production is significantly easier if you use our circular saw with manual transmission. A small sawmill “in the teeth” the thin rail, and the cleanliness of the cut is such that further processing is not required. This is achieved due to the very thin cutting tool, disc cutter with a thickness of 0.2 mm and a diameter of 32, 40 or 50 mm.
