In the February issue of “Modeller-designer” we met article on the development of a new class of car — unmanaged vetrogonov. Don’t know how reacted to the most interesting suggestion of the authors of that article and the magazine automodeling Federation of sports of Russia, but in our circle it was accepted “on hurrah” — so interesting, affordable and promising was this topic. Work on a new type of machines we started with, that surely will be useful to all, tion interested in constructing vetrogonov — with the development of minimized similarity of the internal rules of the competition and technical constraints applicable to unusual models. On the last point we were limited to only the maximum area of the driving model sailing arms (no more than 25 dm2) and the total dimensions of the machine (prepared by the start condition, it must fit into a cube with sides not more than 1000 mm). Under these constraints, Verkade should be potentially very fast and quite “personable” for forms that will go only to the benefit of the attractiveness and popularity of the competition in the new class. It should be noted that the rough calculations of the maximum potential speed of movement convinced us in the fact that would be very useful, additional development is reduced “oneorzero” type vetrogonov. Here are our suggestions tanovi: sail area limit of 10-15 dm2, and dimensions described Nuba 500-600 mm.
LAND THE BOATS START
Today the state of technical creativity of pupils, I think we all know — it is deplorable. And even a talented teacher to inspire children is becoming increasingly difficult. One of the reasons the sharp deterioration of the material base of non-school institutions that lead to exclusion from group work sites that require long time to manufacture. It is possible to offer teachers some technical circles (primarily — aircraft modeling) to include in the plan of work of the first year of lessons build exotic aerodynamic projectile like a boomerang. Experience shows that it is quite affordable for newbies. Requires wood and simple tools: a plane, a knife, a rasp and sandpaper. Production time is two or three classes.
-Models, if they are perceived as more or less concrete something resembling a real airplane, was and will be the most popular among “civilized” modelers. Sports car designed for “combat” conditions of hard competition, for all their attractiveness, have become so over-engineered that to take up their construction venture a few units.
This svobodnymi glider — simple, durable, reliable and moderately “volatile” — was created as a training. It was assumed that newcomers in the process of its manufacture and operation will quickly master techniques of the work with the model aircraft materials and will gain the skills to adjust and run the model. However, tests have shown that among its advantages is joined by terrific “volatility” on the level of specialized osakryl models championship.
RC model airplane, provided in this publication, it is highly unusual for the national school of design. First of all it is established in accordance with more and more of the fashion for Maxi models (it is appropriate to recall that the rules of competitions of the International Federation of air sports is not the first year there is a subclass supermystery models). In addition, its overall design matches popular today modelers orientation on the old стиль1 when models are more like genuine planes 30 years, rather than a pure sports “shells”.
