SENTINEL OF THE DEEP SEA

SENTINEL OF THE SEAWith the creation of the first combat submarines mankind was in the hands of weapons of great destructive power. Not all naval power and did not immediately appreciated its power and the danger that it represented for shipping. However, until that time, until the sub was technically flawed and the weapons are more defensive than offensive, in the organization of any serious opposition to them by surface ships was not necessary. With this task successfully cope with any armed ship. But it did not last long. Improving submarines have left no doubt that soon they will become a serious enemy surface ships.

FLYING THE “FUNNEL”

FLYING In one of the reports of competitions rocketmodeler I noted an unusual model sports class Ѕ6А famous athlete Nikolay Sergeeva from Belgorod. How many know it, and you know we have more than 30 years, never ceases to amaze his creative imagination. Was no competition, so he brought them his “brand” new. So it was this time.

UNMATCHED AVIATION

UNMATCHED AVIATIONToday we continue the theme begun with the publication of non-traditional polyopia supersonic fighter-interceptor MiG-25, the New development even more unusual in the choice of the prototype for the copy and overall design of the model. Today, it is about the reproduction in miniature of a legendary airplane “Voyager”, made in 1986 by flying non-stop around the globe. I hope that ego of publications will contribute to the revival of some extinct interest to the class “school” sports polycopy. It should again be noted that Voyager, like the MiG-25, only a single instance of a large number of interesting prototypes, giving modelistica up at any level.

MANAGEMENT OF GAS — ON THE RADIO

MANAGEMENT

There is a perception that control the “gas” compression of the motor as well as nitro, is almost impossible. However, for a long time had already been quite successful systems for remote control of frequency of rotation of the shaft diesel. Failure, usually associated with the specificity of modes of diesel and errors in the design of standard mass carburetors of the motors. Such subtleties on the proposed material, telling about the alteration of the compression of the engine under remote control.

THE WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE START

Assigning the date of the training and competition of air or rocketmodeler, to provide almost everything: minutes to paint the starts of models of various classes, to provide participants with food and accommodation, provide them with transport service… the Only thing that it is impossible to foresee is the weather. However, the weather factors equally affect all participants, and the advantage is given to one who has knowledge of the conditions of the zone flying, pony manius physical basis of weather processes and their ability to make a competent assessment.

RUBBER-ENGINE CHAMPIONS

RUBBER-ENGINE CHAMPIONS

The attention of all the adherents of the popular throughout the world class Ф1Б — rezinomotornaya expense of building a traditional model — we offer unusual today as on the content and orientation of the material. In it you will find detailed information about the almost unknown among Russian modellers school of design. We all have long been accustomed to the fact that championship technique is distinguished not only the highest flight data, but, as a rule, unique and complex design and manufacturing, in fact, irreproducible at the level of the capabilities of the average modeller. The proposed school, with its refined simplicity equipment is able to provide access n the heights of excellence almost everyone, regardless of their security or ability to make arrangements “space” of complexity and accuracy.

AIR BENDS

AIR TURNS

Young conovici-only pilots rarely taken for the creation of highly complex models. Basically they design a simple and feasible model of universal definition, which are equally suitable for testing of flight control avionics complex, and for competitions. We must remember that half of success on the performances of only pilots — the run-in, reliable motor. More suited KMD-2,5 and MDS-MDS or a 3.5-4 in export performance. It is simple, technological and, most importantly, “volatile” model — is proposed for the attention of young korovikov. Pilotage designed based on the available materials instead of lime for many parts, you can use high quality blanks from aspen, alder or poplar.

PIPE RESONANCE

PIPE RESONANCEIn the magazine we told about the methods of choosing the parameters of the resonant pipes (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 9 for 1995) for highly accelerated engines. Fulfilling the wishes of modelers, editors have been asked to continue this theme of the master of sports V. Fontecha from Cherkassy (Ukraine). As you know, at the time of opening of the exhaust window motor is formed as the shock wave represents the process of propagation of a pressure pulse with velocity V=20 sqr(T) (T — exhaust gas temperature in OK).

MANAGED YACHT “SOFKA”

CONTROLLED YACHT

We offer the modelers designed by athletes from the Czech Republic. It is simple in design, does not require scarce materials to build, has the original technology of housing and very good on-the-go. The manufacture of this mini-yacht will not present difficult even for inexperienced athletes. Those who have already accumulated some experience in composing the frames of the hull with the subsequent sheathing plywood, can reproduce the design in accordance with their habits. Before starting work you must perform a projection of the body in natural size on thick paper and cut them out. The obtained templates are used when marking pieces of foam thickness of 38-40 mm, which are then cut with a seam allowance of about 1 mm. In the plate of the foam forming the upper part of the body, perform the opening of the cockpit, which will be subsequently pasted the details of the cabins. Both the foam parts are joined with glue such as casein or PVA. After drying the binder, the billet is processed on the side view.

CONTROL LINE AEROBATIC

CONTROL LINE AEROBATICThe first control line aerobatic models that use the engine capacity of 3.5 — 7 cm3 modelers-athlete transferring from Junior level to senior championship… What it be? Youth as the original sample often chooses superprotein equipment of the world Champions or Europe and tries to copy it. In the absence of speciliaties on the model put serial domestic motor and… due to ignorance of technical and technological methods such copy get poor results and wasting time. The other extreme — a massive increase in checked malakhovich models. So there are “pilotazhki” with mediocre flight characteristics that don’t bring any sporting success.
