  2. Simple Plastic Airplane Design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Plastic_Airplane_Design

    The R.C. aircraft is usually, though not always, built with the body consisting of a lightweight plastic material such as PVC gutter downspout or an aluminium rail. The wings are made of an equally light material such as foam or coroplast. The remaining components added to the plane are virtually the same as can be found in any other R.C ...

  4. Rain gutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_gutter

    Water falls towards a parapet gutter, a valley gutter or an eaves gutter. [12] When two pitched roofs meet at an angle, they also form a pitched valley gutter: the join is sealed with valley flashing. Parapet gutters and valley gutters discharge into internal rainwater pipes or directly into external down pipes at the end of the run. [12]

  5. Downspout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downspout

    The purpose of a downspout is to allow water from a gutter to reach the ground without dripping or splashing down the building structure. Downspouts are usually vertical and usually extend down to ground level , although may be routed at an angle to avoid architectural features and may discharge onto an intermediate roof.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_gutter

    Box gutters are essentially placed between parallel surfaces, as in a valley between parallel roofs or at the junction of a roof and a parapet wall. They should not be confused with so-called valley gutters or valley flashings which occur at the non-parallel intersection of roof surfaces, typically at right angled internal corners of pitched ...

  8. Vinyl coated polyester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_coated_polyester

    Vinyl coated polyester is a material frequently used for flexible fabric structures. It is made up of a polyester scrim , a bonding or adhesive agent, and an exterior PVC coating. The scrim supports the coating (which is initially applied in liquid form) and provides the tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, and dimensional stability of ...

  9. Vinyl polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_polymer

    Vinyl polymers are subject of several structural variations, which greatly expands the range of polymers and their applications. With the exception of polyethylene, vinyl polymers can arise from head-to-tail linking of monomers, head-to-head combined with tail-to-tail, or a mixture of those two patterns. Additionally the substituted carbon center in such polymers is stereogenic (a "chiral center")
