INSTEAD OF SAIL — ROTOR

INSTEAD OF SAIL — ROTORApparently, in the technical work appeared in the phenomenon that can be called bottle-modeling. The fact that modelers in different fields are increasingly used… plastic bottles. From these light and sturdy vessels, they made a great hull models of yachts and catamarans, compressed-air cylinders to drive the action of the compressed air motors air and car. Thin clear plastic was the ideal material for the manufacture of lamps for aircraft models.

PATH AND “EAST”

THE WAY, History of rocketry in our country today is widely reported in the local media. In my opinion, it is interesting it is stated in the book “Rockets and people” – B. E. Chertok (Publishing house “RTSoft”, 2006) – a direct participant in the whole period of the birth of rocket and space technology. These books “pushed” our children-rocketmodeler to implement the idea: to recreate the models in the basic steps of creating missiles and combat shield of the Fatherland and the achievements in space technology. This project was a contribution of students in the Year of Russian cosmonautics and the 50th anniversary of space flight by Yuri Gagarin.

IN THE AIR — “TRAIN”

IN THE AIR Specialized in aeromodelling magazines increasingly published articles about the model aircraft with electric. Today betrothe quite successfully fly and kordovye, and Svobodnaya, and RC models. The reasons are many, and one of the main can rightly be considered the appearance on the market of light and powerful power sources and motors, a compact and lightweight remote control equipment.

MODEL-A COPY – OF A SET OF

MODEL-COPY - SETIn the last decade popular form of modeling the guys is to build plastic models-copies of ready sets. And it is clear. No need to look for scarce materials and components – almost everything you need is in the box. A beginner, even inept Modeler-student can easily pick a few ready-made parts than to cut them from scratch, because so eager to get the toy like a real tank, ship or aircraft, that neither the exact fit of parts, nor to the fine detailing of patience is not enough. It is clear that “copy number” of such models it is possible to speak only conditionally.

WINGED FOAM

FLYING FOAMThe emergence in recent years of powerful and light microelectrophoresis DC and bystrozamorozhennyh batteries that can withstand large load, made it possible to create flying models with electric drive. The undoubted advantage of these indoor models are ease of use; the ability to practice aerobatic maneuvers not only on the street but also in the gym all year round; low noise; no pollution of the environment.

TRIMARAN: SPEED AND MANEUVER

TRIMARAN: THE SPEED AND MANEUVERRacing sudomodel motor. Racing RC miniature electric scooters have always been popular with modelers, especially among those who only starts to master these amazing racing cars. This to a large extent contribute to: the relative simplicity of the modern lines of gliders, making it possible to manufacture the housing from a variety of materials and to use the best available for model making technologies; the reliability of the electric power plant, excluding the start-up problems inherent in internal-combustion engines; and, finally, not too expensive – only two-channel – remote control equipment.

IN THE SKY ON THE ROTOR

IN THE SKY ON THE ROTORCord model gyroplane with the engine MK-17. Readers of the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” no need to explain, what is a gyro. However, the current model airplanes, most likely, have forgotten that such rotary-wing aircraft exists. But in the 60-ies of the last century among the approved classes, there was quite popular at korovikov class of models of the gyros, of the competition which was played at all levels up to the national championship. Today these rotary-wing aircraft create a few modelers. In this publication an attempt is made to awaken interest in this fascinating aircraft.

PROTECTIVLY ON THE SHIP

PROTECTIVLY ON THE SHIPEveryone who did the ship models with the electric drive, are familiar issues associated with power supplies. Often have to upgrade the batteries, but they are not cheap. Hence the continued interest manifested by the modelers to the idea of replacing the actuator. For example… steam, which no power supply is required.

FLIGHT MODEL FOR BEGINNERS

AEROBATIC MODEL FOR NOVICEWhat is educational flying model? We are all accustomed to the fact that it is a machine fit only to acquire the initial skills of piloting. In most cases, the training model is built with virtually no requirements for its flight properties. The main thing – to provide the maximum ease of manufacture. Eventually, when the athlete will be accepted for the design of the following models with which it will compete, will be subject to calculations and aerodynamics, and strength of materials, and materials science. But at first – what to suffer, whether… And see the light polulotosa “snags”.

WINGED HYDROPLANE

Speed radioact with a sail-wingSpeed radioact with a sail-wing. Competitions of radio controlled model yachts are one of the most exciting. Silent glide of sailboats on the smooth surface of the pond, clearly they can perform turns and maneuvers gives the audience the illusion of a real sailing regatta. And being a full sailing gear, becoming a member of these competitions, you just — you just take a radio controlled model yacht that is not too difficult, although the work is — for neat and patient.
The present model refers to the number of high-speed, which helps the body with not “yacht”, but rather with the “boat” lines and unusual sailing rig, formally consisting of a profiled mast and relatively small sail, which from the point of view of aerodynamics collectively represent a wing with a symmetrical profile, with flexible flap.
