World of models

Many questions arise in the manufacture of superstructures of ships models. One of them was how exactly to bend the plastic sheet to the specified angle. Gluing the individual sheets requires Stripping of the obtained joints, and the result is worse than when bending. So we invented a device, which considerably facilitates the bending process. It is used in our group is not the first year and fully justified in the case. It is easy to make from scrap materials, using a pattern; maybe you differently decide the fixation of the movable part at the corner. Recommend about tilting part of the table to place transporters a more precise adjustment of the fixture.

Two world records set at international competitions in ship modeling Soviet athlete, master of sports of international class G. shahazizyan. It happened at the starts in the Bulgarian city of Tolbukhin, one of the records was blocked in the B1 class the previous results from 24 km/h! The event is really unique — even a fraction of a percent increase of speed required for approval of the record, are designers and athletes at the cost of tremendous exertion.

Microgravity class F3A are becoming more popular. However, their production is possible only to experienced modelers. Teenagers need a compact, simple to assemble and easy to use flight model of a simplified scheme under the compression motor small cubic capacity. Initially, we expected it under domestic MK-17 “Junior”, however, due to the low location of the tank the motor was bad possivel fuel, and had to be replaced compression “Meteor”.

Odnokomnatnaya model well-earned position in the class F2A. At competitions it is hard to escape the thought that flies the same speed — they are so similar. The approved scheme is fully justified. Stretched the console closes a lot of plot cord”brake”, and the plot is moving with the greatest speed and therefore creating a short in the normal wing the greatest resistance. Other model parameters are chosen in a practical way and provide optimum characteristics of stability and controllability. However odnokomnatnoj the scheme has a distinctive shortcoming: if the engine stops the model immediately sharply losing altitude. Struggled with it, inserting the elements of the external console. They compensated for the increase in lift force of the left wing, arising from blasting his air screw. Eventually had to abandon for more, reducing the speed of the wing, opposed “Norov” speed skill of the athlete.

Can you name at least one model class that is really available to everyone? Until recently the answer to this question could only be unequivocal: no.

Is it possible sensationalism in modern automodelisme? Honestly, the boys of our group were sure that no. It seemed to them that has long been found-perenity all the design options and decisions that the task of the athlete is only to compose the best nodes in one model. But one of the departures on the training time made everyone think differently. It turned out that the young aces, who have had sporting success, I know is not all that possible improvement of even simple models has not been exhausted.

At the last Moscow on competitions of athletes-boys, the attention of the participants and the judges drew a graceful microtiter Victor Moskovkina for long races in the class FSR-3.5 mm. First impression — the model is made high level in the form of a matrix, which is used to veclachi of the buildings of our leading masters. But then one of the comrades of the young designer super model cried through all the area of training: “Victor, get your box soon! In a few minutes your ready!”

All have long been accustomed to the fact that kordovye the car with a propeller is the most simple among the racing: case-stick, four knife-like wheels yeah the pylon model airplane engine. As it should be. This class is designed for beginners, his task is to instill in children the skills of working with tools and different materials, to give the opportunity in the first year of classes to partake of the excitement of wrestling competitions.

In recent years, modelers have increasingly used in their designs packing foam. This material is lightweight, sufficiently durable, uniform and well handled by termoindurente — Izanami of glow current to the nichrome wire. With proper use this is a very common material (usually together with veneer) model based on it turns out no worse and sometimes better balsa.

Stories about the competition Experiment, systematically held in our country attract attention of not only athletes modelers, but readers are far from this sport. So unusual look time, rezinomotornaya and gliders-“wings”, even a cursory view of the magazine of their photographs compel us to pay attention.
