My friends!
Today marks 92 years since the first All-Union competition of aircraft models on the Khodynsky field in Moscow! Congratulations on this auspicious day!
On August 28, 1926, only 70 modellers took part in the competition and they showed a total of 126 aircraft models! They could not even dream of radio-controlled models at that time! The sprouts of aircraft modeling have fallen on fertile soil and currently many people in our country and abroad are engaged in aircraft modeling. The poetry of flight, heaven and creation lives in our hearts!
I wish you success in this wonderful and necessary sport, new victories and achievements of the next sky-high heights!
Perhaps this is a coincidence, or perhaps a regularity, that by this significant day the work on the creation of my aircraft model was completed, which I want to tell you about now.
It all started here with this photograph of a drawing of an artist who tried to depict the plane of the future, a 7th generation fighter.
I decided to create a 7th generation fighter aircraft model, so to speak, my vision of this aircraft.
In my opinion, there should be nothing superfluous in this design, everything should be simple, concise and justified.
Based on these drawings,
I tried to create model small but stopped in time
and, having adjusted the dimensions to the ordered impeller, he began work again.
I left the entire structure under the wing plane practically unchanged, as suggested in the drawings, hoping that the model should take off from any surface and from the hand. Moreover, this design seemed to me the most suitable and simple for this aircraft model.
The main material for the construction of the aircraft model I used a simple, sheet substrate under the laminate, especially since the one hundred dimensions of this substrate, allowed in many cases to refuse from bonding butt - 1200 X 500 X 5 mm.
Glue can be applied to any waterproof, universal, used for gluing ceiling tiles.
The wing decided to make in two layers.
I strengthened the lower plane of the wing with carbon tubes, using for this end sections of sliding fishing rods (whips).
To create additional wing lift and strength, it was decided to make a small profile, for this, along the line of installing the side walls of the duct, a rib was glued onto which the edge of the upper wing skin was glued.
Mounted the nose of the fuselage, which glued the cockpit with the figures of pilots.I cut the pilots' figures from a piece of white, ceiling tile and painted with a felt-tip pen. The lantern of the cabin was cut out of a plastic, polyethylene bottle from under mineral sparkling water.
Carved a casing for the duct. As soon as ready, some parts of the model are immediately covered with colored tape.
Duct and keel tried on a model. He made inscriptions on the wing.
I got a package with an impeller and stuck an extension on it.
Tube size: - 1.5 times the diameter of the impeller and the narrowing made 5 degrees.
I decided to make a controlled PGO (front horizontal tail).
Set sevomashinki on PGO and ailerons.
Mounted the impeller in its place.
Here is a preliminary view of the aircraft model.
I could not come to terms with the single-model design of the aircraft model.
I came to such a final version.
This is how the model looks before the flight.
The main dimensions of the aircraft model.
Length - 1190mm
Span - 930 mm.
The regulator is at 80A.
The battery is 4S 3300 mAh.
On this I say goodbye to you, see you soon. Valerian.
