The carrier rocket “Soyuz-2” spacecraft “Soyuz TM-12”. The article “Soyuz” space survivor” (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 5’02) it was told about creation and tests of the spacecraft and the carrier rocket, which became the prototype for a whole series of these ships and missiles. Their modifications were successfully used for manned flight programs of national long-term orbital stations “Salyut” and “Mir”, and now — to fly to the International space station (ISS). In the same issue of the journal was given detailed drawings of the carrier rocket “Soyuz-2”.
According to the rules of the competition model rocket must use only during takeoff the thrust of a jet engine, and the descent of the lifting force of the aerodynamic surface. For performance of requirements it is desirable that during takeoff the shape of the model was close to the missile, that is, would have a minimum lateral area. This requirement is most fully correspond to the model raketoplana with variable wing geometry. Very promising, in particular, the use of all-moving front wing, which at launch is located along the fuselage and therefore has little effect on flight, and the transition planning rotated across, providing the necessary redistribution of aerodynamic forces.
Svobodnaya “out of fashion”. Especially young modelers. What is the reason? Perhaps, in the length and lack of entertainment competition? And maybe the disadvantages of the method of manufacture of models of this type? In fact, if in the first year of studies in the clubs, build conceptual models, the second — planned complex fuselage model. That’s why the need to create a new expense of building a traditional class of models for modelers working in the groups the second year, is dictated by life itself.

A simple design of the airframe suggested that the German model airplanes G. Jung and C. Rosa (Fig. 1). The model has good performance and can be built athletes having small practical experience.
Ask any kid, building the first schematic model of what he wants Almost certainly he will answer — about copy. And it is clear. It’s no wonder it is believed that the replica model is one of the most interesting and complex classes of aircraft modeling. Order copies, model airplanes acquainted with the technical achievements of aviation, possess the perfect use of the tool.
Today, when in any toy store you can always find a not too expensive radio-controlled models of cars, their availability would have to completely replace trace model. However, practice shows that the latter is still very popular in the children’s centers of technical creativity with circuits. There is still continuing work on creating a new highway model. The fact that they remain a very fertile subject to technical creativity, as you can make them without complex machinery and without expensive materials and components.
Before talking about the first rocket model, a few words about its designer — Alexander Tarasov. He lives in a small Siberian town of Yugorsk (Tyumen oblast), employs a facilitator Fock firm “Tyumentransgaz”. More than ten years, rocketmodeler Yugorsk perform successfully in competitions of all levels. His son Alex was the winner of the Cup “Alex” 2001, and other graduate — V. Pirogov became the owner of the same Cup in 2002, winners of the Championships of Russia there were many students Tarasova.
These small, agile machines can hardly meet now on the road. Except in remote areas, they survived as a Museum piece. And in the years of the great Patriotic war, these cars picked up shells on the front line towed gun or used as a staff. The American “jeep” supplied to the USSR in the last war, has become a symbol of military cooperation between our peoples in the struggle against fascism.
