CASE-UNIVERSAL

UNIVERSALThere 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.

AEROBATIC TRAINING

TRAINING FLIGHTDevelop 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.

WINNING LINES

WINNING LINESKind 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.

TRAINING FOR ACES

ACADEMIC ACESMany 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.

OF THE TWO “COMETS”

TWO Conceiving a new microplane, any Modeler primarily decides which engine to put on it. One of the motors power is not enough, others too large, others strongly vibrate during operation. Many disadvantages of single-cylinder engine delivered a two-cylinder of the same displacement. They can be built on a variety of schemes: boxer, Y-shaped, inline. In some cases, if the Modeler is not very important weight, two normal “odnotrahniki” mounted on a common metal frame, connecting the shafts through the gear transmission. This allows to raise efficiency of the propeller by increasing its diameter at low speed.

S1B — TWO RECORD STAGE

S1B — TWO RECORD STEPSOn the Fifth competition of the European championship miniature rocketmodel class S1B master of sports of the USSR Yury Soldatov brought its designer, the title of champion of Europe 1981. She rose to a height of 1046 metres! Design model developed by a team under the leadership of V. Minakova. Thorough testing of the technology, the reasonableness of the scheme made the aircraft a kind of benchmark: with missiles of this type were made by all members of the Soviet team that won first place in the championship.

COMBAT “SWIFT”

COMBAT It would seem, what new it is possible to invent models of air combat! Undoubtedly, these microstrobili today meet all the requirements of transient encounters over the track. No wonder even top athletes can be heard that the best equipment they are not necessary, it’s just a systematic preparation for the training athlete.

“SCHOOL” ON THE LUNGE

Said to be good the model airplane itself teaches us to govern ourselves. Especially valuable is her property for beginners korovikov. However, apart from flight, training models required: maximum ease of fabrication and strength. We offer our readers two successful design for the initial “school” for learning the basics of flight complex. These models-coaches can help young athletes become faster first-class masters.
