HELPS HYBRID

THE HYBRIDTHE HYBRIDConsidering the number of characterizing a working volume of cylinders of internal combustion motors produced by our industry, necessarily pay attention to the typical “failure”. Unfortunately, the motors of the class from 2.5 to 5.0 cm3 we did not exist. However, these engines required for flight training, high-speed radio-controlled model airplanes, scale airplanes. They can also be set on auto and advanced.

THE WINNERS OF THE PILOT CLASS

THE WINNERS OF THE PILOT CLASSIn the summer of 1981 in Moscow took place the traditional competition for experimental model airplanes. Today we introduce you to models — winners of these competitions. Student A. Bobrov from the city of Khimki (Moscow region) constructed a model glider “flying wing”, which showed at the competitions best results. Over five rounds were demonstrated following the duration of the flight: 81+16+28+180+130 = 435 C.

THE NEEDLE WILL NOT BREAK

NEEDLE WILL NOT BREAKMany advantages in this model of micro-motors of the type “meteor-2,5”, CSTOM-2,5, “swift”, “Falcon” and the like — with front-wheel distribution. But, installing them on the model of air combat or training, you go at some risk. The fact that a failed planting of the motors, as a rule, the needle breaks the needle valve or, even worse, damaged the nozzle.
