What models of gliders was not in the sky above the sports airfields! Short-tailed side by side with these, whose stabilizer it seemed unreasonably far related from the wing, the search of the optimal elongation of the supporting planes of the transformed outline of the airframe in the likeness of a flying ribbon, brachypterous, such aircraft unit. A few years ago, athletes arrived to a common opinion. Although each scheme had its own advantages and disadvantages, experimentally found the best dimensions that satisfy the conditions of soaring in thermals, the flight in a calm atmosphere and in a strong wind. Parameters recognized compromise (wingspan 2000 mm, chord 145-150 mm, shoulder 700— 740 mm), provided smooth, very good results.

The kid from the first start push-rod started the engine, and early test-in. The engine revs, causing the car faster and faster to run on the track. 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. Of course, the speed shown “shell” is too small.
In his hands standing on the bridge of a schoolboy elegant model powerboats. The boy winked one eye, as if before the shot. 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.
Do I have to mug for the second year, two seventh graders. Like everyone else, they began with rezinomotornaya contour of the car. In fact, the tenacity with which even unskilled hands, they grind parts, with some passion launched his first microwaveability, it became clear — will of the good guys. Soon they built from kits and simple racing models with internal combustion engines. Gradually became their skillful hands, the children learned to treat different materials, began to feel that is not enough running mikromotorchika and how to troubleshoot to race “whiz” down the left the entire distance along the path of the track.
There is an expression: “the Best is the enemy of good.” It remains true, however not always. Any Modeler familiar with one of the standard domestic compression motors — KMD-2,5. Although it is designed for racing model aircraft, it is successfully used and air “fighters”, only pilots and beginners. 
“Silver” the world championship of 1981, the same year the first place among the strongest athletes of the USSR — it is the best feature of the scheme boat built by the master of sports of the international class, the repeated champion and the champion of the USSR and the world by A. Tupikina. A similar model was helped by his colleague Vladimir Dovzhenko to be among the winners of the USSR championship in 1982 and set a new record in class-1.
What boats will not meet the competition. Some amaze with perfection of outline and finish, it seems that it is better not come up, ke will. Others want to pick up and “bring to mind”. But this, though done really skillfully, carefully and conscientiously, initially produces a strange impression. A small case with a nearly rectangular frames, a transverse rail with ridiculously small floats. Whether clumsy trimaran, whether the model is a replica…
There is an element of design, which can be found probably in any moving models. It is the bearing. Often a pair of “shaft — hole” presented in the form of passing through the wall of thin sheet metal or metal wire axis. This couple meet on the microplane in the system control cord the aircraft or in the nose bearing rezinomotornaya, and the boat, built by children’s hands, — the bearing of the prop shaft or hub of the rudder, not to mention the suspension of the microcosm novice automodellista.
Wings, like aviation, has already appeared on the car. At first it was a triangular plane, similar to the fins of fish. The intent of the designers, like “architectural excesses” was to give swiftness appearance. Then, when the car began to compete in speed with the wind on the wings remembered again. Only now they were needed to help the car better “hold” for the road, push him to the ground. The fastest, now not only establish a plane, located above the rear part of the body, but the front of the front wheels to the track pribavlyaetsya small side wings.
Is there any reason to go into specifics slip “school” model, results of which did not even contain the cells in the table of records! If you think about the future, that is. Today we record events are not logged, tomorrow, and the theory of sliding automodelisme not yet developed by anyone, although microcontrolle subject to the General laws of physics.
