An example of a creative approach to the creation of modern sports self-similar techniques can be aircar class AC-2 motor with a working volume of 2.5 cm3. Extremely simple, but thought out to the last detail, the design speed has allowed its Creator, student of the Kharkiv school of Constantine Chistova three times to climb on the highest step of the podium at the “high” competition in this class. It should be noted that reached the championship of the USSR 204,731 speed km/h was actually a record and at the same time… unattainable. K. Chistov, the result not only exceeded to date, but even the barrier of 200 km/h is not yet amenable to young athletes.
“VERTUAL” – ON THE RECORD
To design and manufacture a racing car that would satisfy all the requirements of the sport today — Oh, how difficult! To do this, the athlete has to be both a competent designer, and technologist, and specialist in materials science, and machine operator-universal.
Even on these racing yachts there is a continuous struggle to reduce weight. It is known that any extra pounds at least for a little bit but increases hydrocortisone fragile vessel due to the precipitation and growth of the wetted surface of the hull. And when it comes to model and conditions, it is already possible to say that relief even ten grams is the achievement.
Is it possible to attract novice modelers that have passed the basics of learning sportsmanship, to build championship models class FSR? Some leaders of the groups say that is impossible: first, boys are required to accumulate a solid experience; others argue that such experience is much faster is in the process of making championship machines.
The problem of noise of operation of internal combustion engines exist in all types of modeling. The modelers of the upper boundary of the acceptable level of noise has long been accepted 80 dB (when exceeding this value the result immediately canceled) have increasingly measured the noise of the flying machines, especially RC, are cases of control “of holosystolic” of micromachines and the competition of avtomodelistov. Performance requirements for noise suppression tougher every year, probably close to the time when the point of maximum noise will be introduced in the competition rules for all classes.
Meditating and finding equipment for the new sports season, we decided to stop on tested, proven for many years solutions. Sacrilega scheme is not too large wingspan; horizontal tail with stabilizatory part and Elevator… However, the latest publication in the “M-K” made us much more attentive to the consideration of the moments of inertia, and therefore the maximum relief of the tail section, respectively, projected for a very short bow, load-bearing engine. With the usual for pilotaggio measurements was “obladis” — because in the design model, greatly influenced by the shape and length of the nose of the fuselage. However, this problem we managed to solve due to the unusually long chassis fairings. With them the model is not only advantageous to look at the ground, but in flight is not inferior in the perception of long-nosed cars. Benefit appearance and is the simplest closure of the plant verhneraspolozhennyh shields (in the bottom of the engine is completely open), and a large spinner.
Since 1987, entered into force new “Rules for flying sports in the USSR”. Changed and technical requirements for model rockets. So, in the category B4 (model raketoplana) one of them says: “In the case of models with a flexible wing of the planning part should be more than 50% of the starting mass of the model”. As practice shows, the innovation did not deter the athletes from the construction of miniature gliders, forced to look for new ways of their technical improvement. In our opinion, taking into account the new requirements are a very promising model with Delta wing, designed by athletes from the Moscow city Ramenskoye A. Levin and I. Prikhodko.
“It’s been fifty years since I work as the head of the aeromodelling circle in syut. Now faced With great difficulties: no aeromodelling materials; if the sets and be available, by type of disgusting quality, and made models don’t fly. Students were little interested in the sport. Beginners have the patience just at the beginning of the construction of a complex model…”
After exit 2 “M-K” for the year 1991, we managed to get acquainted with information materials on the development of the self-similar class E5 in the international arena. Of course, immediately had the desire to compare how close the world level the main provisions of the article “Replikar in model design”, raises issues of design of new car engineering. It turned out that, despite the lack of rich experience of the competition which managed to purchase some foreign athletes, we are much ahead of the time not in the results entered in the results tables, and design techniques to achieve the same goal. This is evidenced by our publications about the car with a direct drive for the last three years. And the creative search for perfection appear to be much more important than blind numbers number of points and points. After all, as they say, to correctly determine the direction of the path is almost pass it. More a matter of technique. Mentioned in the beginning of the article, in fact, is part of or the logical beginning of the proposed material.
“All further race pointless… Too unequal forces!” No, dear reader, it’s not about sports. It is sad the thoughts that must have visited any is not too eminent athlete, trying to somehow keep up with the development of technology in the classes of RC racing action. No doubt, improvement of micro cars, new findings and new design ideas have transformed modern “shells” in the samples extremely complicated and most interesting decisions in sports modeling. But as attractive as such technical progress he, unfortunately, has its downside… And, having, may be much more important than continually improving the results of races, — a sharp decline in the availability radioklass. Will not talk about the problems of domestic equipment and supply good motors.
