PAPER, BUT NOT QUITE

PAPER, BUT NOT QUITEThese beautiful and flying planes is very simple. They can do and the guys who have not yet engaged in aircraft modeling. To work they need a dense drawing paper (drawing paper), a few dry and straight straws Ø 2-2,5 mm (grasses, bluegrass, wild oat), silicate office glue. Also needed is a blade for a safety razor, jig saw, ruler and pencil.

CRIMEAN “HUMMINGBIRD”

CRIMEAN Room model pricelet really similar to a Hummingbird. This inhabitant of South America — the smallest of the birds — have much to learn. It can still hang in the air and even fly backwards. Our model is no less maneuverable. The design consists of two polycrylic hinged to each other stabilizer, as well as double-girder fuselage, which is attached to the rod with the rubber motor. He drives the crank mechanism polycrylic. Weave wings and stabilizer — capacitor or a tissue paper.

A SECOND DATE FROM BAIKONUR

SECOND DATE FROM BAIKONURHeld in early October 2006 from Baikonur 16th world championship flying the sport has left an indelible impression on its participants and spectators, among whom were those who real launches of missiles and launch vehicles spacecraft. To meet many requests for new sports meeting on the legendary land, the administration of Baikonur organized another celebration of rocketmodeler — held the first Asian championship on rocket-space models But given that the sport is not as popular in Asian countries like in Europe, making it open.

THE FORMULA “GT”, SCALE 1:8

FORMULA In recent years avtomodelisty closely watching the development of a new direction for technical activities and sports design of high-speed radio controlled model with internal combustion engine. At first they were built by high-class athletes, but now a lot of successful and budding. What are the athletic requirements for these models, and some technical data have model classes f-I and f-II?

FIGHTING FROM MURMANSK

FIGHTING FROM MURMANSKThis “bouzoukia” developed in the aeromodelling circle regional station of young technicians in the city of Murmansk. Speaking with her at the regional competitions, an eighth-grader Sasha of Beidou became the champion among students. Design feature — a fiberglass sock of the wing, much increasing its survivability.

“DRAGON III”

The sounding rocket “Dragon III” — two-step. The engines of both stages is solid. The mass of the fuel engine of the first stage (start) — 686 kg. the rocket Starts with the ramp installation. Eight aerodynamic stabilizers (four for each stage) provide stable flight. Measuring apparatus weighing 30-90 kg is placed in the head part. Missile launch weight — 1184 kg. Maximum altitude: 7000 m. the flight Time is 440 C. length of the rocket varies depending on the mass of the apparatus and is of 6.99—8,16 m.

OVER THE WATER – FLYING BOAT

OVER THE WATER - FLYING BOATIn the literature on model airplanes is not so much focus on radio-controlled models of seaplanes, although, in practice, many enthusiasts prefer them purely “land”, considering the “waterfowl” more interesting for manufacturing and piloting. Many of them also refer to the usability of such models compared to those that are equipped with wheel chassis, because “land” is not everywhere possible to find a large enough area with asphalt or concrete path for takeoff and landing. While any aquadrome — a pond, lake or river to find not so difficult. In addition, experts argue that take-off and landing in the water are not in the example easier.

HIDDEN SWITCH

HIDDEN SWITCHInstead of installing switches ship modelers often put on the deck bare conductors or put the bulky switches. Naturally, these alien items spoil the appearance of the model. At the station of young technicians of the city of Sochi for many years put on an improvised model of the microswitches (see figure), Tali. Then put the spring and install the bracket-holder. The deck clip is fastened with copper rivets. The switch is ready. Connecting the wires, you can test the reliability of his work.
