Floating timer… One of the most complex and controversial requirements to the technology requirements of the class of models of free flight. A complicated structure, powerful power plant, rise to dizzying heights after the launch. What kid does not want to build such a microplane!
Fighting aircraft of the American athlete D. Stubblefield at the last world Cup cordovil held in Kiev, many attracted by the simplicity of the design. The main material used for its construction — a light polystyrene foam, similar in weight and strength in the domestic packaging.
First of all, let me ask you a question: can a student-constructor of ship models do with their hands, without the help of a group leader, to create a good copy of a military ship? Most likely the answer will be negative.
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.
We offer a simple glider is designed for young athletes, students 4-5 classes. The model is simple to manufacture, does not contain elements from scarce materials and can be recommended for “small batch production” in all circles of the cart.
Air 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.
Increasingly 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.
We introduced readers interested in a new flying class, with the design of the world Cup winner F. Barnes. Judging by editorial mail, the model has attracted the attention of athletes. For those who are going to build such devices, we published drawings and a description of the rocket R. Parkes, who won the same championship the third place. His model represents a different direction of designing a radio-controlled rocket paritala in which the engine is installed in the rear fuselage.The fuselage is stacked.
The model is based on a cone-shaped tube of the housing. She bent from steamed plywood with a thickness of 0.8 mm on a metal mandrel, dried, and then removed from the mandrel and trimmed at the ends. The most reliable and easy option to the longitudinal seam of the overlapping edges of the sheet-patterns with material removal on one of them “no.” Formed after the gluing of the ledge is removed with the help of files and sandpaper.
