World of models

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.

Only two years have passed since that time, as the Federation of auto modeling sport of the USSR adopted a decision on the introduction of a new class of E-2. And this, in General, insignificant for the history of the development of the modeling period, a new class has gained popularity, is not inferior to any other self-similar. What is the secret of success?

When the boy, fascinated by the construction of models racing yachts for the first time the opportunity to try their hand at the most important stage in the competition? Of course, in the spring, at the start of the school Championships. But if a novice athlete has never appeared on the waters in terms of the competition, if he has no more experience of running sailing models, and knowledge on hydro – and aerodynamics and meteorology small — model traditional scheme it is doomed to failure.

“Wow, beautiful…” — that was the unanimous opinion of the participants about our high-speed cord models. After a short discussion, the boys made a “sentence” is a set of custom-making seem stamped out of plastic: “if we are…” oke We tried to explain that such models can build one that sets parcels elega/^tion speed is irrelevant and that make it much easier than any other… in Short, it ended up that I had to give details about the design, technology, construction and finishing of the new device. And then started flying again confirmed the unwritten law of aviation — a beautiful machine fly well!
