The idea of turning the wing on the model rocket plane was implemented nearly forty years ago. Its author is Anatoly Z. Gavrilov – head asiacruise from the city of Krasnozavodsk in the suburbs. It had I far into their school years, learned to build flying model airplanes. Like many modelers, we moved to “the rocketeer” after the first space launches. Moreover, it was a completely new direction in children’s technical creativity where they can show their imagination in the construction of flying models. Today such a scheme more perfect, with the folding and rotation of the wing, called “Moscow”, widely exploited by rakotomalala.
THE WING… ON THE RISE
In the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11 for 1981, we reported on a new category of raketoplana S8. In the same issue was published the drawings of models of the class S8A. Today we offer to your th account the description of another rocketplane — class S8D. It is interesting the original design of bearing areas of changing geometry. Furthermore, it simultaneously satisfies the requirements of category S4. Similar models in the class S4D Moscow athletes competed at the Championships of the USSR. The proposed design of the rocket plane designed by head of the circle of the Moscow city Palace of pioneers and schoolchildren by V. Minakova.
With a slight rustle of the blades of the propeller model took to the air. Passed one circle, two, three. All this is familiar today in many circles of our country guys raise flying model aircraft with electric motors. However, some features of this device are forced intently follow him. Whether unusual for a rechargeable element wing — flaps, or confidence, a kind of reliability of the flight. After all, we are accustomed to the fact that the power of the motor just enough to keep the model in the air.
Looking through the model magazines for the last couple of years, you’ve probably noticed a sharp change in the appearance cord racing model aircraft. They have disappeared, it would seem, absolutely necessary stabilizer. And it’s not just a tribute to another sport fashion. See what kind of patterns are models of the prize-winners of competitions of different ranks, increasingly they are flying wings. Some of the appearance of these devices, resembling a kind of pancake, not like others talking about a more modern and rapid appearance of the model. But form form and racing microplane primarily sports equipment. And from this point of view, a flying wing has many advantages over apparatus of a conventional circuit. What? First, the “tailless” much easier. Typical “representative of the” new school weighs 150 g, while an old over 220 g (without engine). So, significantly reduces the time during which the model accelerates to maximum speed. Yes, after stopping the motor it is hindered by the faster. And this win precious fractions of seconds! Less weight leads to less tension cord control. The pilot is getting easier: even at high speeds the centrifugal force is not so much to strain the hand.
You never thought about the fact that your car racing has a good gyro, and not one? But they are made and put into place your own hands! Their role is carried out by the engine flywheel and gear wheels. In the not-so-small mass and size, the frequency of their rotation is so large that such is not always seen in the “adult” technique.
There are several classes of ship modeling, in which the apparatuses have very small external differences. So, very similar model classes F1V-15, FSR-3,5, FSR-6,5, F1V-5 and F1-E. “Why build model-twins to participate in different competitions?” — decided the Kazan athlete master of sports G. Kalistratov. And developed a universal body that is equally suitable for models of all five classes. The result is a great model, built on the basis of this hull showed at the competitions excellent results. So, in 1980, G. Kalistratov became the champion of the USSR in the classes F1V-15 FSR-3.5, in the same year, took seventh place at the world Cup, while also installing all-Union speed record, and a year later, speaking in class F1E, won the world championship.
Why would a self-similar wheels protector? Go RC micromachines on the asphalt, the dirt it knead not necessary. But let’s see what kind of speeds these cars run, what turns them brought to pass!
Develop some automaticity in managing the cord of the model during takeoff and horizontal flight, you can begin to build more complex apparatus. It will help you to learn how to perform all the basics of flight complex: forward and backward loops, turn and slide flight “on the back”. Unfortunately, your first robust model of these figures can not do too heavy reinforced design. Therefore, flight training is based on a different principle: the minimum weight, which gives good flight characteristics at maximum ease, which will allow you to repair the microplane for a few hours and re-enter the track or in the field.
Kind the debut of this model yachts was held in the summer of 1981 at the Moscow city competition modelers. Attention athletes was attracted by the unusual hull shape: broad grancey nose, frames Charpy and a large ratio of width to draught. All this has not previously been used in sailing vessels of this class. The experiment was successful: the model showed excellent driving performance both on passing and on sharp courses.
Many RC modelers dream about. Those who decided to engage in this complicated class of models, usually start with gliders. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to find an experienced teacher who would help to develop not a flying machine, gave the opportunity for several days of joint exercises in the field to acquire the basic skills of piloting superkabuto. And the plane with working rudder and altitude to fly slower and more stable pilot error cause only the loss of a few tens of meters height. Finally, the gliders perfectly fulfilled such an important skill, as the automatic steering rotation regardless of where flies model: for the pilot or away from it.
