TAKING OFF FROM THE HANDS.

TAKE-OFF-WITH HANDS!Small model scale of about half a meter and weighing 20-30 grams at first glance give the impression of toys. But as soon as test flights, the opinion of inexperienced viewers immediately changing! It turns out that the apparatus according to the flight properties left far behind their paper predecessors. Running in the sky sharp throw hands, they are capable of rapid start, similar to the motor-take off the good timers.

FLYING OVER THE WATER

FLYING OVER WATERToday we offer modelers an unusual material. If the majority of the publications was based on existing research and was devoted to the already realized results of the design search, then this article is for reservoir engineer V. Viktorova, as if in contrast to them, entirely composed of mere “ideas.” But how many times history of modeling, and technology in General, proved the viability and the viability at first seem “crazy”. Characteristically, they at first met with either resistance on the part of even the most experienced athletes (perhaps I ought to say not “even” but “especially”? After extensive experience of the wealth, but sometimes the “limiter” for anything that does not fit into the framework of experience), or complete disregard.

SCHOOL MICROPORTAL FOR TOMORROW

SCHOOL MICROPORTAL FOR TOMORROW

What do you think, is it possible to create a good championship model glider class A1 without balsa? Hardly… it is believed that the absence of a glider balsa parts or evidence of the inability to get this scarce wood, or the inability to work with her. But in any case Bespalova design immediately assigned to the nickname “the stump”, and the attitude of its flight properties — the most skeptical, and in most cases, this skepticism is justified.

THE SECRETS OF “TRAINS”

SECRETS A lot can be called the factors contributing to the decline in the popularity of automodelisme among boys. The problem is not only with good engines, but even with fuel for training, the problem of space for training korovikov or “black” issue radios to the most interesting kinds of models of class RS and similar… to be honest — all this leads not only to a drop mass, but also to the closure of a number of circles of automodelisme.

FIGHTING TODAY AND TOMORROW

FIGHTING TODAY AND TOMORROWAir combat… the Popularity of this class has been and will remain unchanged. Let some say that today to do battle is not so “prestigious” — the whole world goes to RC vehicles, and they are the future of modeling. However, it is sufficient to recall how the number of participants going in competitions at all grades Svobodnaya! No less important is the class F2D (air combat). His “asset” — the accessibility in technology, entertainment performances, a high degree of sportiness. The first quality allows you to cultivate a class F2D almost everywhere, regardless of the availability of materials. But, unfortunately, this factor often determines the possibility of the existence of one or the other asiacruise.

RECUMBENT ON THE TRACK AND ON THE CIRCUIT

RECUMBENT ON THE TRACK AND ON THE CIRCUITIncreasingly popular in our country and abroad acquire velomobiles. And although mass production of them has not yet been established, experts believe that in the near future they will become the main vehicle for individual use. Not too bold a prediction? I think not. In the city, especially the larger ones, the car very closely. Despite the constant work to improve the road network and traffic management, traffic jams and congestion are becoming more frequent on our roads. And the car is a symbol of rapid XX century — ceased to be the fastest form of urban transport, giving in speed and sometimes the bike. If we consider inherent to motorized transport exhaust gases and noise, use of scarce fuel, the high cost of manufacture and operation — the balance will undoubtedly lean in the direction of pedal cars.
