“The most cherished dream — height, height…” So goes the famous song about the pilots. Height — cherished dream and modelers-rocket, no matter what class competitions were athletic. For “tall” models it is a direct goal, and a planning and parasitisim dialed height guarantees good duration of the flight.

To rocketmodeler it is no secret that the easiest way to measure the height of the flight model triangulation method. It is based on the measurement of the angles between line of sight and reference planes. Is the choice of the reference planes and the measured angles is largely determined by the degree of difficulty of the subsequent trigonometric calculations of the height.

For many school model aircraft clubs create room flying models is the only available form of modeling. Judge for yourself: the season of the competition model, as a rule, coincides with summer vacation, and autumn, winter and spring start model is quite difficult weather conditions. At the same time any sports or Assembly hall is a great arena for competition in the class of low-speed models with resi-nomotion. The design of the latter — the process is no less fascinating.
This publication, we continue the story about the history of one of the categories in the rocket modeling – S4. It includes four classes of models raketoplana (model glider with the accelerator). Sports (champion) class is the SHA with the momentum of the engine to 2.5 n·s.
“I looked at the ship, which was in a few minutes to go in the unprecedented flight. He was handsome… I Thought that this beauty is eternal and will remain for the people of all countries for all times to come. In front of me was not only a wonderful creation of technology, but also an impressive work of art”, — wrote the first cosmonaut jury Alekseevich Gagarin on the spacecraft, on which the 12 April 1961, he paved the way to space.
Torpedo and missile boats are the most popular objects for modelling among novice modelers — they are not so complex and multi-part, as the larger ships and vessels, besides because of lower scale factor to produce a relatively larger elements of such a model much easier.

Modelers in different fields continue to explore for new areas of application plastic bottles from under carbonated drinks. On some designs that use these lightweight and durable containers that have been highlighted in the pages of “M-K”. Our today’s publication — about two boat with hulls of these vessels: rezinomotornaya-boats-catamarans. On one of them as a mover used the propeller, and the other air.
At the Moscow city competitions on indoor models in 1975, first place went to Evgeny Ermakov. His model is a copy of the “blériot XI” rubber engine showed in the three games great duration: 60, 64, and 50 C. None of the Soviet airplanes have not demonstrated a flight duration rezinomotornaya room-models. How is “micro-Bleriot XI”?
Caravels, clippers and Brigs have long become history, but the sail disappeared with a blue ocean space. It appears not only in the Sunny tropical latitudes, but in the harsh Antarctic waters, and the Arctic circle. Mnogomachtovy training sailboat gigantic and small compared to them, sports yacht to this day ply the seas and oceans.
