I look at my young aircraft modellers and wonder how many new, interesting ideas are in them, bordering, sometimes, with madness. An inexhaustible stream of different topics that each of them wants to bring to life.
In our workshop, Wind, Typhoon, Amphibian, and many other aircraft models were born, of which I have counted 22 today.
This time, Katerina, granddaughter, started to build an apparatus that I do not know how to determine. Either it is an ekranoplan, or is it an SVP, or all-terrain vehicle. Well, you yourself determine what kind of apparatus.
Either these drawings did not give her rest.
Either she fell in love with our SVP Joasaph,
Whether seen enough of this video,
But she was categorically tired of small models, she walked sad and thoughtful.
After some time, I drew on paper my vision of an invented design, and I had to draw everything in detail. Almost all the details were cut out and glued.
The device is quite complex in design and I had to help, not only with advice, but also with deed. I marked out, and Katya cut out and tried on.
Basic materials for the model.
Heater "Penopleks" - 2 cm.
Ceiling -4 mm.
Clay "Titan".
Fabric - raincoat fabric.
Colored tape.
Isospan.
As always, we started from the platform.
Stiffening ribs are attached, on which the casing of the apparatus will be held.
A wooden lath and a glazing bead for a window were pasted into the wing.
Mounted the wing.
Two floats with inflatable balloons (skegs) are mounted on the platform.
The air is blown into these balloons by an impeller through a complex duct system
The entire duct system is insulated. There are only two openings: an inlet for the impeller, which blows air into the ballonet and an opening from below, to relieve excess pressure in the floats.
Air, under pressure, coming out of the lower hole, creates additional lifting force.
For the same purpose they built wings.
Balloons are made of raincoat fabric. Again, I had to open courses "cutting and sewing."I had to smash my head over the pattern.
The trousers turned out to be stylish, "pipe".
Apparently from here the name of the model appeared - “Style”
But to be honest, I called this model in honor of his school friend, Volodya Zimin. He himself always sewed stylish, beautiful clothes, bright, catchy, which distinguished him from the monotonous, unsightly, gray clothes of those around him. For this he was nicknamed - "style."
In those years there were the so-called "dudes" - Soviet dudes, from the 50-60s, undermining the foundations of Socialism.
This is how floats look without supplying air to them.
And so inflated.
Little by little, the model is covered with colored tape.
So the motor appeared. Mounted tail. A pH is placed.
After the first tests, I decided to increase the size of the wings in order to increase the lift.
The wings decided to be covered with steam insulation - Izospan.
I used to fit their wings with gliders.
The result is such a design.
You can put the servo on the pH.
Subsequently, the model was planned to install the PB.
Unfortunately, the video of the first test run of the model was not preserved.
The most important thing is to find the DH.
About the model.

Here is such a handsome man - our "Style". A very interesting device turned out.
He ran smartly on the cut grass, almost flying. But on the water, we have not experienced it.
