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.

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.

“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.
