ON THE RACETRACK – THE “TADPOLE”

ON THE RACETRACK - THE Although the car with the air screw (the cars) and are considered only a transitional step on the way of a young athlete from the “children” contour and rezinomotornaya of micromachines to the world of “adult” cord and RC, the set of problems to be solved in the design of these seemingly simple machines, forces us to treat them as… to this “test stand” to test the abilities of the Modeler as a designer. And really, try to forget about at least one of the many factors influencing the course of the aircar, as manufactured according to your drawings model immediately at startup, will show — there is a bug that will force you to look for and fix it.

SAILING IN A NEW CLASS

SAILING IN A NEW CLASSSupermodernity model yacht building caused by the race for sporting results, have led the international Association of ship NAVIGA to introduce a new class available for mass modeling. This is the F5-E (“economy”), which is due to a number of restrictions and requirements to the model leaves the chances of success in competitions not only for art created from a “space” materials and with the assistance of reach for most technologies.

“AIRCRAFT” OPTION

Anyone who has ever seen race speed RC boat, certainly will remember the “aerobatics” microcameras that they performed by teams of “pilots”.Requirements for such models. Without their accurate implementation is impossible to create a modern first-class equipment. To a large extent propulsion and manoeuvring properties of microcameras depend, in particular, of the total weight of the structure. Significant share of it is the weight of the body. A good solution to build the lightest boat without the use of a short supply of balsa with a minimum of fiberglass and epoxy resin, is proposed and successfully implemented the master of sports Vyacheslav Baryshevym. Speaking out of the competition at the open championship of Moldova, he was far ahead of its rivals.

E UNDER THE NEW RULES

E NEW RULESJudging by editorial mail, does not weaken the interest of students of avtomodelistov to the micro machines of the class AL with actuator. The widespread availability of sports equipment, possibility of carrying out of competitions at any time of the year to attract new boys into the ranks of the followers of automodelisme.

RESERVES F2D

 

PROVISIONS F2DTruly consistently popular models class F2D. The possibilities of creative search is far from exhausted, and that no season, designers offer new solutions. An example is the model developed in aeromodelling lab at Home technical creativity of youth, acting at the black sea shipbuilding plant in Nikolaev. Modern scheme (the wing with the recommendations in the ravine tail plane rudder) processed under readily available materials, and high performance characteristics, vitality and great adaptability Assembly and repair had been preserved. Speaking with such equipment at the Republican youth games, a crew of young athletes DTM — Swiderski A. and S. Zhigunov — has become one of the winners of the competition.

SCHEMATICE FOR TOMORROW…

SCHEMATICA FOR TOMORROW...Most modelers relation to schematic gliders and rezinomotornaya, to put it mildly, condescending: “three stick a piece of tissue paper and even after running not immediately fall to the ground!”. But such models, which will meet in almost every circle, was designed almost in the beginning of the century and has reached our days unchanged. Not our if fault is that? It may be worthwhile to try to create something more modern, overcoming the neglect of “chemcam”?

FROM THE IDEA TO “BOUZOUKI”

FROM IDEA TO Typically to achieve the necessary alignment of heavy fighting model of the micro retracts in the cutout of the front edge of the wing. This leads to some loss of strength and complication of manufacturing technology, and access to the engine for maintenance is much more complicated. So I had the idea to implement the idea of forward-swept wing is given in the “M-K” № 7 for 1988. Front and rear edge of the wing of the new models are made by gluing pine veneer (thickness of 2-1. 5 mm) on the mandrel with the subsequent cutting on a lathe to the required edge thickness. The bonding is conducted on the PVA. Mandrel is more practical to manufacture of chipboard, and in the mounting position and clamp the veneer pack to apply a lacquer coating to facilitate removal of the part after drying.

MORAN… WEIGHT 9 GRAMS

MORAN WEIGHT 9 GRAMS...Readers rezinomotornaya a replica of a historic aircraft “Moran-G” in which famous Russian pilot P. N. Nesterov first in the world made air RAM .The model was created in two versions — “full” copy with a boxy fuselage and polyopia with a contoured fuselage. To achieve a satisfactory flying qualities, had to go to small deviations from the proportions of the prototype aircraft. The models are made entirely from common materials, the main of which was melkosortnyj packing foam density of 0.05—0.06 g/cm3, chopped termolabil for plate thickness 0.5—1.5 mm. By weight parameters of the model are comparable to the best balsa models. To make their students of 6-7 grades. Choosing a simple plane as a prototype to copy allows to make emphasis in students ‘ work and not to simulate individual elements, and the manufacturing quality of the device.

RELIABLE TIMER

RELIABLE TIMETimer “school”, published in “M-K” № 12 in 1986, is a unique combination of reliability, service life and good flight properties. Now that our group operated two such machines, we can safely say that. It should be noted that “loss” in sports-related accidents time, unfamiliar to us. Believe it or not, in such main circuit, accurate Assembly of the frame on the plasticized resin and Mylar covering to break the model, even with strongly uprated engine is almost impossible! Of course, strength isn’t everything. But the important and time-saving Modeler, especially spending on “nasty” repairs. So, now all the “repairs” been reduced to mere convergence of the split nodes. At the same time with extraordinary strength achieved and very high rigidity of the machine, which is extremely important for engine model.
