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.

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.

SLIPWAY FOR ROOM

THE SLIPWAY.The one who animaetsya room with model airplanes knows what a difficult job the installation of the stretch marks. But they stiffen the easiest transparent planes, and even a small error in the tension lead to distortion of the shape of the wings. The work is delicate, painstaking and long. And if you say that you pereustanovit model (you need to remove the “wood” braces) to bring it into working condition for 2-3 minutes, and even in terms of competition, it will seem unreal to you.

Here are the included machine-cut timing a run of eight laps of the race, which is determined by the speed of the model. One lap to another… But it is! The impression is that someone hung on the rear wheels of the machine and slows down her run. Smooth, easy sound debugged in training “engine” was replaced by strained, jagged roar.

Finally, the wind has abated a little — it is possible to produce a model. Raising astern low backwash water, the boat went to the goal. After fifty meters posed a number of buoys, medium form the gate width of two meters. It is best to get it in them — a rating in the highest. With a frozen heart, waiting for the young athlete how to behave microcode. There is a hit! Even the rising wind and waves did not prevent him to enter into the Central gate.
