Фестиваль авиамоделистов "Взлёт России" и одноместный вертолёт Микрон. FlightTV - Выпуск 34

They invited us to visit. An open day was held at the Shevlino airfield. Micron helicopter. The first tests of the new type took place in Voskresensk. Aviaregion-2016. Don't forget to fly to Yaroslavl on May 27-29! Record set! The "Rise of Russia" aircraft modeling festival was held at the Ramenskoye airfield. The traditional open day was held at the Shevlino airfield. The organizers, students from the Moscow Aviation Institute, told several dozen visitors about small aircraft in general and gliding in particular, and gave a tour of the airfield, where about 40 aircraft are based. The first flight tests of the coaxial Mikron helicopter took place at the Voskresensk Aviation Center. The aircraft was developed by Moscow-based aircraft designer Valery Shokhov and the Giroplany.ru team. Dmitry Rakitsky tested the helicopter. It's a single-seat helicopter weighing up to 115 kilograms, doesn't require registration, and, more importantly, doesn't require airworthiness, and the pilot who flies it doesn't need a pilot's license. The first prototype was equipped with a two-stroke Rotax 503 producing 50 horsepower, but the aircraft designer plans to later equip the Mikron with a more modern engine and a rescue system. The planned speed is around 140 km/h, and the flight altitude is up to two kilometers. Helicopter pilots with practical experience on other types, such as the R-44 or the Mi-8, will be able to master the Mikron without any problems. The "Aviaregion-2016" air show for small and regional aviation will be held in Yaroslavl from Friday to Sunday, May 27-29. The organizers invite everyone to attend. Pilots of airplanes, helicopters, and hang gliders. Participants' aircraft will be exempt from takeoff, landing, and parking fees, and crew members will be offered tours of the region. The regional government is interested in developing the Tunoshna International Airport, which is open to private pilots year-round. All aviation enthusiasts will have the opportunity to watch aerobatic teams perform, see small airplanes and helicopters up close, learn about the aircraft currently being produced in Russia, and interact with pilots. "Vzlet Rossii" (Russian Takeoff) is the first large-scale aircraft modeling festival, with over 700 registered participants, and 360 models taking to the skies of Zhukovsky that day. All pilots, young and old, helped set a record for the number of aircraft models in the air simultaneously.
