World of models

…the handiwork of drowning! This well-known phrase is the best suited to the device, developed by a reader of our magazine Odessa Shkolnik, Rodion Chernopole. It is intended for high-speed RC boat. These microglossary in training and at competitions tend to dive under the water and… emerges. The owner located after the model and get it. Well, if the water is warm and it is possible to save the sunken vessel, which spent at least a few months of hard work. And if not?

The lightest balsa frame, powerful nitro engine made with your own skilled hands and is able to “pull” almost weightless Model in almost all its evolutions… Are models of air combat’s most experienced athletes. And the fights between them were so exciting a spectacle that everyone who saw one might wish to engage in this direction of modeling.

To improve the performance of micro-motors, internal combustion modelers increasingly use parts from non-ferrous metals. For example, the cylinder liner can be made of brass, and the piston is of aluminum alloy. To such a pair worked better, mirror shells coated with a layer of chromium.

And still they build these “crazy” dragonflies, looking unusual even against the background of experimental models of Buchvostau! Build them despite the fact that the class unmanageable rotorcraft problems and tasks much more than in any other. However, maybe this “incompleteness” are they attractive?

Easy, reliable and accurate timer — “blue dream” any rakatomalala acting class S3. These models are run for a maximum duration of the flight. And sometimes, once in the upward air flow, fly away so far that the continued participation of the athlete in the competition is possible. Why you set on the time device to force their descent.

The hardest part for Antonov an-certovica — learn how to manage the model not the brush, and the whole hand, bending the CoE only in the elbow or even the shoulder joint. To quickly master this technique, I advise you to use the control knob which is fixed on the forearm by a small clamp.

As you know, your the first years the student performs, not one and two with an instructor on the aircraft with dual controls — so called “spark”. First is controlled by the instructor, and outlet only lightly holds the handle and stores necessary for flight manipulation. And only on the ‘next step initiative goes to the student, but the instructor and there is always on the lookout — W critical situation, he can always intervene in the management.

…Pressed — and rocketmodel rushes into the sky. It worked Elektrostal — nichrome spiral, covered with inflammable matter, heated by an electric current, and the fuse ignited the powder charge MRD— model rocket engine. Simple, isn’t it? It is a pity that the fuse device is disposable.

In 1983 in the framework of the fifth world championship of model rockets have passed the international competitions on radio-controlled raketoplana class S8E. Our athletes in this class, yet do not act. Bring to the attention of modelers interested in the characteristics of missiles S8E, the drawings and description mo;n WHETHER full-time of the winners of these competitions F. Barnes.

For the first time this model has established itself in the open championship of Rostov-on-don in 1982. Representing syut Tushino district of Moscow Dima Gajewski managed to bypass with a little Ro-80 all the opponents and won first place. Key to his success was not only a high skill of driving a high-speed microcosm of the intricate track, but also the correct choice of prototype, a competent design of body and chassis model. About the model D. Gaevskogo says the head of the circle, which involved the winner of the championship, — V. Nikolaichuk.
