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.

SAVE THE ROTOR

MAKES A ROTORFor many years the rules of competition flying-th activities of the International Federation of air sports is a category microrocket with authorityrules descent. At the time, the athletes were given this technique a lot of attention, then about her for some reason for a long time seemed to be forgotten. However, there is now a surge of new interest in rotochutes—so among modelers athletes call missiles with authorityrules descent.

TIMER IN RETRO-STYLE

TIME-STYLE

Classic simplicity of design, ease of construction and high technology are the advantages of the proposed timemay Svobodnaya model with an engine cylinder capacity of 1.5 cm3. To build this you can even in a poorly equipped aircraft modeling circles. Along with these advantages, the model has the more important differences, is invaluable in terms of exploitation of its athletes students. Reliability behavior timemay take-off phase, regardless of the weather conditions, consistently flawless transition from take-off to planning, but also the immutability of total flight time. The last factor is so important that is completely worth the somewhat archaic view of the model due to the high pylon, a legacy of the airfoil and unusual for a modern model of a combination of values of elongation, squares his shoulders and bearing surfaces. However, not afraid to repeat: the high stability of the results of this flight Tierney puts it in the real conditions of competition almost head and shoulders above the more modern technology in the subclass expense of building a traditional school. All the above fully applies to the option Microdrive MK-17 “Junior”, modified in accordance with earlier publications in the “Modeller-designer”, and with the upgraded MDS in 1.5.

HIGH SPEED “BABY”

HIGH SPEED Created in our circle of control line speed model aeropittura school of a subclass with an internal combustion engine working volume of 1.5 cm3 the diagram is for a rarely used “asimmetrik”. In its construction—a number of technical solutions which allowed to improve starting (which is very important in the environment of the model newcomers) and performance. So to facilitate germination on a wave at lower than championship technique speeds the length of the nose redan decreased, while the angle of attack is his “sole” in the back work area a bit increased. Absolutely unconventional technique — Vegas the front edge of the redan on the corner about 8′ in the view of the model from the front. This solution ensures a reliable start, eliminating incorrect even with the cast time of the glider inside the running circle (hydrodynamic lifting force developed on the “sole” of redan, has a component directed towards the left side). In addition, an important factor of removal of spatter from under the redan on the right side, that is away from the disk rotation is offset to the left of the propeller power plant.

FLYING IN THE RAINBOW SPRAY

FLYING INTO THE RAINBOW SPRAYLately becoming more popular competitions on water-motor sports. The exciting drama of racing racing colorful boats, iridescent splashes of water, enthusiastic audience! RC racing boat are not less popular among athletes of all ages. The design of such micropolygon simple. The model is quite well-known motor type “Mabushi-540” equipped with a two-bladed propeller with a diameter of 35 mm and a step 47 mm. To power the installed battery 7.2 V/1.2 A*h Nickel-cadmium elements. Management — with two-channel proportional equipment. The engine speed change by the speed controller and the direction of the path of movement of the steering machine.

ROCKET FROM BIYSK

ROCKET FROM BIYSK

Raketoplana this scheme, the athletes received the name “Moscow” in the building today, everywhere that speaks about its high aerodynamic qualities and reliability. However, each rocketmodeler trying to bring in design and something different, getting this sometimes with interesting results. It was developed a model athlete from the Altai city of Biisk Alexander Puzikov. Based on the “Moscow” scheme, he increased the wingspan rocket glider and the length of its fuselage. And, as shown starts at the Russian Championship of 1996 for model rockets, the innovation has justified itself.

POUNDING, SO GOOD!

POUNDING, SO GOOD!Many models can be made to forgotten the method, by squeezing the sheet metal. Extortion is used for any thin-walled parts (e.g. fairings, cowlings, shrouds, wings, wheels, and similar). Often they are made of brass or aluminum alloys. The material is pre-annealed with a pair of scissors and cut the workpiece with considerable allowances. The tools serve as a mandrel, anvil and various hammers. The process of knockout s is the stretching of the material when its thickness decreases, and in the sediment, which implies an increase of the thickness.

FLYING WING “JUNIOR”

FLYING WING

In our circle beginners-students who have gained initial skills training cord model engine MK-17, traditionally entrusted with the Assembly of models of air combat with the same engine. In this sports class is most often used layout type “flying wing”: lomikami wing and Elevator on the trailing edge of the wing. Spar-wall this model is made from spruce, pine, aspen or lime plate thickness of 2.5 mm, and the rear edge of the wing—rails section 12×3 mm. the Latter consists of centroplane and console parts. Joints edge definitely wrapped thread and impregnated with glue, or with rough landings inevitable failure. The wing tip is made of plywood or wood plates with a thickness of 2.5…3 mm is recommended to facilitate Their holes. If the rib is cut from plywood, the edges are not required.
