TRAINING GLIDER MODEL

TRAINING MODEL GLIDERSerious modeling starts with a small design. Noteworthy experience in the construction of the simplest models of gliders have gained members in the House of pioneers and school students of the Frunze district of Leningrad. In the first stage they do developed in the circle training model, then the glider “Junior” class A-1 and only then start making the model A-2, which ends the program of training of young modelers-athlete. Today the leader of the group V. Bashtannik acquaints readers with the first two gliders of Leningrad.

STARTS SUBMARINE

STARTS SUBMARINE

For all the apparent simplicity of the hull shape and small number of add-ons to create models of submarines a very difficult job. And yet, the modelers love to Tinker with them: well done model starts steadily and rarely fails its designer. In addition, the degree of difficulty — depending on which class preferred — also very different: there are the subs, do that and beginners, and for the manufacture of which requires a specific skill and experience. These include and publish here the model of the submarine. Such models repeatedly won prizes at all-Union competitions.

SPEEDWAY IN THE GYM

AVTOTREK IN THE GYMFor the manufacture of tracks required plywood thickness of 10 mm, and it is important that it was dry, smooth, uniform thickness and without lagging layers. Each sheet should have the dimensions 1500×1500 mm. If this condition is not met, installation of the alignment and connection of individual components is greatly difficult. Straight sections are cut on a “circular saw” along the cross-section of the fiber, and then butt and trimmed. The finished strip should be sized 1500×480 mm. For Assembly of straight sections of the route will require 27 partitions of size 480×1500 mm and 4 mm. in size 480×800

ROCKET J. HAROLD

ROCKET J. HAROLDAt the world Cup 1978, held in the city of Yambol (Bulgaria) in the class RC raketoplana S-4-D (the maximum mass of 240 g, the total impulse of the propulsion system 10-40 n*s) a convincing victory was won by the American athlete Harold Anglin. In three rounds, his model flew for 5 min in the fourth, additional, 3 min 23 s.

He performed with the model missiles S-6-A. the Distinctive feature of his model — longitudinal connector housings. The model of this design was the only one in competition for the duration of the flight tape.

THE ELECTRICS IS TIME FLYING!

THE ELECTRICS IT'S TIME TO FLY!Flying model aircraft with electric motor is silent and doesn’t poison the atmosphere with exhaust gases. Model spared from the shaking characteristic of internal combustion engines, and, consequently, radio equipment, installed on the models with a motor, works more reliably (especially servos). That’s why recent sales microelectronical new grades immediately attracted the attention of modelers. However, the first samples have revealed some of their weaknesses: the unreliability of the brush mechanism and bearings, lack of ventilation of the armature and ferrite-barievykh magnets. Used for the manufacture of parts of the armature and commutator polystyrene cannot withstand high temperatures (150-170°).
