Universal control line model aircraft. The design “Teardrop” models for air combat — have occurred in several stages. In fact, immediately, in one step to create obedient to the pilot model was not possible, believe me, anybody. As a rule, first designed and built a simplified model, which practiced its concept, geometric parameters, the controllability and stability of the flight. Further, according to the results of test flights made necessary modifications, and then creates a second version of the model in which the basis is all the best from the first. Sometimes the model is good, but often for the second stage follows the third…
FOR COMBAT AND AEROBATICS
The production model better to start with the most labor-intensive details — wing. Here it is rectangular and consists of 14 ribs, two spars, the front and rear edges and two endings. Take the time to manufacture for the first training model two or three wings, because during training it is possible a failed emergency landing.
After publication in the “M-K”, № 1, 1978 of the drawings trace model “Mirage” edition receives a lot of emails from guys who decided to build it. They are interested in some of the “subtleties” of manufacturing technology of the body, its refined forms, ways of fastening of the engine and much more. The editors asked the author of the article “On the track “the Mirage” I. A. Nikolaychuk with the request to share the experience of manufacture and of preparation for the competition.
For the manufacture of parts for models of artillery and torpedo armament of the marine models usually spent a lot of time, it is not always possible to achieve full similarity. Some of the devices and techniques that facilitate the machining of parts and reduces their production.
In front of you a drawing of a simple model with electric motor and propeller. The real boats of this type are used in shallow rivers where conventional marine propeller can be damaged. Model making used popular material is Styrofoam. It is very easy and well handled. It can be cut with termoresta (see “M-K” № 3, 1978, p. 47), as well as a jigsaw, hacksaw or thin sharp knife. The processing done by plane or blade from a safety razor and a glass cloth. When gluing or painting you cannot apply substances containing acetone or nitrobacteria, as they spoil the foam.
Held in 2013 in the suburban town of Zhukovsky the International aerospace salon (MAKS-2013) successfully demonstrated their work to the young “rocket scientists”. Very popular with the audience enjoyed the exhibition of rocketmodeler of Elektrostal in Moscow region called “missiles of the Fatherland.” In this work, young technicians syut clearly demonstrated in the models in scale 1:25, the initial stage in the development of a missile shield of our country.
In recent years, rakotomalala all levels are fond of a simple “building” material for flying model — plain paper. The journal “Modelist-designer” told you about the paper models on their pages. And if earlier to make the model only of paper required regulations, today this material is widely used “voluntarily”. The proof starts at the all-Russia competitions on the Cup of S. P. Korolev. About 40% of the participants in the classes SA and Ѕ6А used the paper model. Our story about the rocket champion in the class of parachute models (SA) Denis Gaganov (Sergiev Posad).
Have trace modeling particularly attractive trait: despite the relative simplicity of the models, they give space for the creative work of the children’s thoughts, development of design imagination. An illustration of this situation can serve as our mug on the car model “Stratos” (Fig. 1). Recently Moscow plant “Young technician” started to produce the engine of DP-15. He has two obvious advantages: its capacity is sufficient to move the model, and it is quite affordable. Another plus: when calculating gear, you can focus on the spur gear for electric shavers that are sold as a spare . parts. Cons — size and weight — when novice modelers can not be ignored.
First image of indoor model airplanes made of bird feathers, I saw in the years of the great Patriotic war, even as a boy. Father was at the front, and my mother and my younger sister and brother were among the evacuated from Moscow to Omsk.
10 years have passed since the moment when on the ice kartodromo countries started regularly played the championship of the Union and the RSFSR. In the winter competition includes two classes of racing and two classes of models-copies of planes with compression engines of 1.5 and 2.5 cm3. Today’s theme is the racing model of the sleigh, their schemes, design features, propellers, etc.
