Remembering the aircraft that were being built at the dawn of the aviation age, one involuntarily succumbs to delight, amazement and tenderness.
Looking at old photographs from the time of the creation of these devices, which are called airplanes, the language does not turn around, you are surprised, and you ask yourself how these structures could fly, but they also fought on them?
The author of the model based on the aircraft I.I. The Sikorsky RBVZ S-20, about the building that I want to tell, apparently had exactly such feelings when it decided to build this model.
A few words about the fighter itself.
The main material for the construction of an aircraft model, the author chose a ceiling tile (ceiling).
In many cases, the author when working with model, to strengthen the individual elements and for the manufacture of landing gear, used carbon rods.
In some cases, used wooden slats.
In the nose of the fuselage, servo controls Rn and RV are glued. The rods are laid through the bowden. A Kevlar fishing thread (the so-called "cable wiring") is laid on the elevator.
Chassis racks are mounted to the unfinished fuselage.
Ware blanks are made.
A support crutch is mounted on the tail.
Mounted design for installing the upper wing.
Collected tail.
The hood is installed.
Ailerons are hung.
The motor is installed and electronics.

The first photos after the first flight.
Painting the model.

Fake engine parts.
The pilot's figure barely climbed into the cockpit.
The model has undergone a small upgrade
The finished model took part in the competition.
A bit of video.
The author thanks the operator - daughter for the video made.
That's how the author created an aircraft model, which during its flight brings us back to the origins of modern aviation.
Thanks to the author for the pleasure.
Good luck to you. Valerian.
