Legend of the world F2B "Anatoly Kolesnikov"
Recently I managed to fulfill my old dream and lively chat with the legendary person in the world history of cordial aerobatics Anatoly Kolesnikov. For connoisseurs of the history of our cordial sport, I want to briefly outline the story of Anatoly about his life and sports career.
Anatoly began to engage in modeling in his hometown of Frunze now Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. At that time in Frunze the aerobatic class was very poorly developed and Kolesnikov, like all the kids, flew on various 2.5 cc aerobatic models, later he managed to get the MVVS 5.6 AL from his words the motor worked well but because of the “original” design of the thrust washer which rests directly on the non-bite shaft cone, the air often turned off. screw...
Later, Anatoly goes to study at the Aviation Institute in Riga and gets into a model for Karl Plocins himself, who was just finishing the creation of a new motor of his design with gas distribution with a disc valve, like that of MVVS 5.6 A. Among experienced associates, his career begins to develop rapidly. he took his 5.6 cc aerobatic engine based on the OS Max 35S sump, which he molded by making matrices for waxes and subsequent investment casting. With the new KA-5 model and its 5.6 cc engine, Anatoly takes 5th place at the very first international competitions of the socialist countries, and his flights look no worse than the leading aerobatics with more powerful 7 cc engines and with many years of authority in sports.
After the institute, Anatoly returns to his hometown and realizing that the possibilities of his equipment have been exhausted, he creates a new model KA-8 with increased dimensions and a more powerful power plant. Having no powerful production base at hand, and most importantly casting, he orders 4 Talka 7 engines by mail through the posttorg, using only a crankcase from this motor, all other main parts of the motor are made anew, thanks to which the volume increases to 8 cubes, just during this period the hoods of the Anatoly models take their original original form with two lateral convex nostrils in one of which is the knee of the muffler which then goes back inside the fuselage and goes outside throwing the exhaust through the vent hole channel, there were options with a classic silencer protruding to the side of the fuselage. For the first time, Kolesnikov put up on a new model: a motor, a wing and a stabilizer in one axis. The main landing gear of the Ka-8 model had a wire structure similar to the KA-5 with shock absorption using the elastic properties of the wire, but due to a more powerful motor, a beautiful take-off of the model does not work, the model from the very beginning of the run turns around very much, loses speed and burrows, and only a careful adjustment of the orientation of the wheels and a specific starting point with respect to the direction of the wind allow accident-free flying on this model, raising the model immediately after a short run. On all his subsequent models, Anatoly will make more rigid chassis fixed to the fuselage. With KA-8 Kolesnikov for the first time wins the title of European Champion.

The next champion model KA-10 was practically an analogue of KA-8 with only the fuselage main racks. By that time, Anatoly was approved for a state scholarship and he was able to leave the routine work familiar to all people for the sake of his daily bread, devoting himself to a completely model sport without worrying about wealth in his family. According to Anatoly, his native cordodrome in the center of Bishkek helped him a lot, located on one side, close to a two-story club of young technicians, on the other, a 5-storey residential building, trainings were held with a constantly changing wind direction with strong turbulence, this helped him twist his figures on the tour always strictly on the judges, even with a wind in the face. The geometry of the figures was regularly, especially before leaving for the competition, corrected by his brother Nikolai, who also actively mastered cordial aerobatics. All this, combined with innate talent, frenzied determination and discipline, could not but lead to the fact that Anatoly defeated all competitors at the 1986 World Cup Hungary, judges from the USSR, Sirotkin Yu, were among the lowest in the standings of Anatoly, after which the Sirotkin after the championship was ambiguous hinted ... Yuri joked like pulling did not see the point; everything is obvious to everyone ... Of the other factors accompanying Anatolia at the World Cup Hungary there were weather conditions - heat for 35 degrees, discharged air, poplars around the cordodrome it was all recently in training at home and additional equipment configuration is required, by the way the other pilot from our team Sergey Klychkov in the first flight on reversmane at loss in thin air priter model back then for all the sleepless night followed by recovery,
But the efforts were not in vain, Klychkov showed an excellent result became the 6th and it was in him that Anatoly saw his successor. Anatoly was especially struck by the Klychkov motor - the bearing with a colored pair and a large 3-bladed propeller was unusually powerful, but at the same time, after an energetic take-off, the model seemed to rest on something and slowly performed the entire complex.
The scheme of the KA-10 model turns out to be very successful, on the following modifications Kolesnikov lowers the wing and the stabilizer 15 mm below the axis of the motor, but then it is placed strictly in the axis of the vertical central model. On such models, Anatoly twice becomes the second at the 1988 World Cup. Kiev and 1990 France.
Keeping pace with the times and increasing the all-weather technology by the year 91, Kolesnikov is developing a 9.5 cc K-51 motor in his new crankcase but without changing his structurally well-tuned design - the shaft in the crankcase sliding sleeve, black pair, everything is as simple as a connecting rod without bushings, installing the K-51 on its most extreme similar to the Champion's KA-10 but already fully collapsible models, Anatoly twice more becomes the European Champion.
Now Anatoly is 68 years old, his 3 adult children live their own lives separately, Anatoly, together with his brother, is engaged in the automobile business, he replaced aerobatic models with regular paragliding flights from mountains nearby to the city, and in winter downhill skiing, according to vital energy he will give odds to many of my friends and acquaintances in their 30..40 years. Having talked with Anatoly, I was sincerely glad that I managed to get to know this real person a little closer with a capital letter, and at the same time it was a shame in my soul that in my generation there were practically no people with such a strong character, extraordinary charisma, and noble life principles .. .
Theres something to be said for Dixons appoach , if he matches the weight & halve the production time .
I will p.m. the link (s) the firewall computor migth bug out . This is a public library computor here .
