Schematic model of the airframe and the aircraft, as you know, started flying much earlier than their full-size prototypes. Paving the real aircraft’s path in the sky, they are now helping novice modelers to do their first steps in small aircraft. It is a pity that the modern “schematicity” do not differ from those that did even our grandparents: all of the same pine strips, aluminum wire, model aircraft rubber, a little tissue paper, yarn and glue. No new materials, no advanced design and engineering techniques.

RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR RACING
About 190 km/h! This is a technical medium speed modern racing model with a powerful engine. Moreover, the maximum operating speed of the model exceeds 170 km/h, this is not the limit. Constantly improving miniature aircraft, athletes strive to further reduce the time of passage of a ten-kilometer distance. Before the Modeler, usually three ways: change the layout scheme, forcing the engine and improved aerodynamics models.THE FIRST STEP INTO THE PROFESSION
The first time I saw this unusual rocket in 2007 in the championship of Russia in Orel. At the start of class models Ѕ4А my attention was drawn to the flight of the rocket glider container type. From the start of the Protocol we learned the name of its designer — Sasha Scoops from the team of the Krasnodar territory and the flight time is maximum (3 minutes). Just wanted to meet the designer, but in the starting area he appeared and after the second round. But the Protocol after the red number “180” was listed a “0”.PROFILE ONLY
(THE BUILD-POLYOPIA). Building the model-polyopia begin with the manufacture of the fuselage (Fig. 1), the contours of the lateral projection should most accurately reflect the similarity with the copied aircraft. To the fuselage structure demands maximum strength with minimum weight. The greatest difficulty in its manufacture is the reduction in the weight of the tail, which is much longer than the front, So it makes truss.
STEAM BOAT
The model, which will be discussed in this article warmed the soul to generations of young sailors. In the distant postwar years, and even in the sixties, such a boat could be found on store shelves. From many toy counterparts his distinguished acting steam engine in the bilge – in the furnace was burning real flame to heat up and boil water in a small steam boiler, humming quietly, pushing the boat forward, two small jet of thin tubes. On a boat it was impossible to look without admiration – he was so real! And easy the soot from the burnt fuel on the surface of the cutting gave this amazing little machine is truly a “combat” look. The greatest effect was achieved in the twilight, when at full speed in the Windows of the wheelhouse, it was possible to observe the flickering glare of the flame.
CATERPILLAR ELECTRICAL WIRE
One of the most critical components of the machines crawler — tanks, all-terrain vehicles, armored personnel carriers, tractors, trucks is the suspension, particularly caterpillars. Their tapes, as you know, is assembled from separate parts — the tracks connected by fingers. Each track has a grooved surface — lugs deliver reliable traction. On the side of the track facing the rollers, is guide comb, preventing a descent of rollers with treadmill tracks the motion of the model, especially during turns.PROPELLERS OF FOAM
We offer proven our ship mug method: to make propellers with electric current from foam. Simple device allows you to quickly produce a series of identical screws, which in appearance is no different from bronze, but do not sink in water.ON THE TRACK, “LENINGRAD-2”
Several years ago I came across a photograph of an unfamiliar race car. Machine interested, but no additional information about the photo caption does not contain, and the search for them has long remained unsuccessful. But once the case got me with one of the designers of this car. With the help of the necessary information about the car focused on my desktop and now I can offer to the hobby to make it the trace option.“FIREFLY-2”
Readers already familiar with the workings of the Chisinau children’s club “Firefly” of the Ministry of Moldova. Last year, the “M-K” printed drawings, model air combat “Firefly”. This simple, durable and unpretentious bouzouki like many beginning modelers, as we judged by the numerous sent to our club e-mails.INSTEAD OF THE SPINNERS — THE RUBBER MOTOR
Hand drill — the same one that we, the modelers, and then put out for winding the rubber motor, — not the best fixture. She’s heavy, and bulky. Much more convenient to use for this purpose spinning reel from spinning. Refinement not present any difficulties, but the benefits are undeniable: a lightweight, portable, reliable, and, Read more…
