THE PROSPECTS FOR THE JUNIOR SPEED

PROSPECTS FOR THE JUNIOR SPEEDCurrently a subclass of “school” high-speed cord does not Shine sport results. The competition clearly shows the separation of equipment into two groups. First, as a rule, are simplified “veneroida” contour type, which, if a young athlete is able to cope with the management, you can show only average speed, and even then with a good engine. The second group consists of devices created exactly according to the samples of a champion techniques (if not outright borrowing occurs). Do note that the gap between the two groups as the quality of the models and their flying capabilities, and initially decide the issues is very high. Poluchennye contoured speed are likely only tasks “to designate” the presence of this class at the event.

“TOMAHAWK” ON THE LUNGE

Published in “M-K” № 9, 1993 fundamentally new scheme of auromodele immediately liked by our members. Attracted her not only a win-win for aerodynamic resistance and stability in the race, but… the strangeness of the forms, which allowed to finally make something new after wandering from year to year, the classical variant “Bertoli”.

RC INHERITS “THE OLD DAYS”

RC INHERITS Now all over the world modelistica there is a clear trend of withdrawal from the limited rules of the canons of sports equipment. Appear constantly and steadily there are model subclasses: for example, microplane, or, conversely, models of the giants; in several countries, along with other, an official Championships held with the technique created by drawing almost half a century ago.

HOW TO MAKE “ZIMMERIT”

HOW TO MAKE Anyone interested in the history of armored vehicles is well known that highly characteristic feature of the external appearance of the German tanks since 1943 was an anti-magnetic coating of armor — so-called “zimmerit”. Originally this coating was intended only for the Eastern front, but soon became an integral part of all tanks of the Wehrmacht. “Zimmerit” with a rather complex chemical composition, in simplified form, is represented as a mixture of latex with cement. The idea of such a coating is rather controversial, since the magnetic mines were used only by guerrillas, and after application the tank was still “clean” place (rollers, tracks, etc.). In the end mine was “to stick” and to railway platform, and downhill equally flew echelon with tanks, as with the “Cimmeria”, and without it. But nevertheless, the Germans did it quite costly.

NEW TECHNOLOGY

NEW TECHNOLOGYWith all the advantages of fiberglass hulls for model rockets the traditional process of production is highly labor-intensive and unsound. Meanwhile, the conversion gave the modelers a new and very interesting material is heat resistant fiberglass gasket STP-4. It is used widely and, having a small official shelf life, often charged and often goes to the shops “Junior technician” or “Do it yourself”.

FLIGHT ELECTROLET

AEROBATIC ELECTROLET

Judging by the letters from our readers, the interest in the model aircraft with electric motor is not reduced. Comes a lot of questions about the challenges of producing interesting flying machines and development of specific projects. One of them we want to acquaint the followers of electroperu. Very effective control line aerobatic model created by A. SUHANOVYM from the city of Astrakhan. In addition, they built “nilotica” interesting minimal use balsa, which gives the possibility of playing in almost any conditions. If necessary, balsa items without much damage to the mass of the model can be replaced made of lightweight Linden (in this case, TopMenu blanks should be reduced in half to two times).

TWO FIGHTING WING

TWO FIGHTING WINGDeveloped in the circle of aircraft modeling station of young technicians of the city of Berezniki of the Perm region and the following proposed model of “air combat” is designed for mid-level athletes. They are distinguished by a good performance, sufficient strength and manufacturability. But for some modelers who do not have experience with foam lomikami or do not have access to the material of the required quality, it may be advantageous to use as the main material lime veneer (which, as a rule, can be made independently). Both bouzouki built on a “flying wing”, dominant in the Junior class and sports the “air battle” of the last decade.

ERSATZ FUEL “CALLOC”

SUBSTITUTE FUEL

Search methanol for glow motors have always been a big problem. The situation is slightly simplified Pope the publication of interesting material about the ersatz fuel in the “M-K” № 6, 1986. However… was not so easy to find and required for its preparation the solvent oil-based paints. Finally the problem was solved after the publication of a number of other recipes fuel mixtures in the “M-K” n b star 1990. Of all the options the most simple mixture based on gasoline And-76 and AI-93. However, there is little difficulty. On a mixture of perfumes work well only with a special selection of glow candles. But this possibility is not at all.

ELLIPSE-PILOTAGE

ELLIPSE -PILOTAGEWe offer cordovano-pilotando design developed in the model aircraft kraine Industrial syut Perm city under the leadership of K. Minkova. It is designed for engine KMD-2,5 and has a detachable wing, stabilizer and fin, which greatly simplifies the transport of the model and its repair. “Pilotage” is designed for those who have sufficient experience in modeling and wants to possess elegant and functional sports equipment.
