Il est proposé au 1/33 et je l'ai réduit au 1/72.
Modèle très intéressant car:
-c'est un planeur russe et il y en a très peu en maquette.
-c'est probablement le premier planeur de voltige au monde:
SK-3 Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) – aerobatic glider, the first Soviet and maybe even the world’s first (correct me if I’m wrong). Designed specially for aerobatic maneuvers (safety factor of 10); first time diving flight calculations were made for a glider. It was projected since autumn 1929 and built in 1930 in Moscow during 47 days only. SK-3 participated in 7th (October 1930) and 8th (October 10 – November 10, 1932) All-Union gliding contests in Koktebel. On October 28, 1930 Vasily Stepanchonok (later renowned test pilot) during one flight made 3 normal loops with it. This was world’s first successful attempt to perform such maneuvers on a glider which climbed on thermics (shortly before American pilot made 4 loops on a glider, but he used assistance of towing airplane for climbing).
Technical data:
Wing span – 12.2 m
Length – 6.79 m
Wing area – 12 m2
Wing aspect ratio – 12.4
Empty weight – 189 kg
Flight weight – 270 kg
Gliding ratio – 20:1
Rate of sink – 0.9 m/s
-c'est l'une des premières réalisations de Serguei Korolev, le grand ingénieur russe qui lança la conquéte de l'espace (premier satellite, premier homme dans l'espace avec Gagarine, premiére sortie dans l'espace avec Leonov, course à la Lune).
