Nice Harveer! specially the last picture!!

Thanx controlflyer....

Right now in  San Antonio (Texas ) at my grandmom's place
bought some new  accessories (catsle creations MMM 7700kV combo -540) from a family friend Robby's shop at Nacogdoches street in san antonio itself. its actually one of the biggest stores here.the shop is called RCHeadQuarters,has a pretty good track as well for the members. i got a chance to hire one truggy from there and had fun.

also Robby is gonna take me to visit www.horizonhobby.com headquarters tomorrow and meet the chief editor Gary Katzer.
i have gary on my facebook profile but havnt met him,but now the time is here. i am pretty excited.
will post the pics of meet with gary soon, here are the pics of the store and track

If they allow you to do it, please do post some pictures

I thought the Ron's (Ronlund.com) down in Corpus was much more famous.  Sad thing I was not into RC even though I spent many years nearby (Austin).

63-me 4th from right
74-track cleaner guyz
30-track early in the morning

193-burned a touring car
711- burning plastic stuck to stink....!!! 
87-rick getting the haulted cars bang again
88-the losi that i hired

i havent heard about ron's because i havn't been to texas /US a lot many times, i basically belong to UK,
but robby has been running the store from the past 4 yrs only, so probably you might not have listned about him, but anyway what i meant with was that it is i think the largest hobby store in texas which specialises in cars more than anything else.
what i feel about him and his associates is that I went in with a large budget hoping to get back into the hobby with a bang, not one of the 5 people behind the counter asked me if I needed any help except robby (that too because i know him personnaly). They were too busy joking around with each other. After about 30 mins of walking around the shop I finnaly decided to get out fast.
thust i will say that the stuff there is nice, huge variety and brands but the help and assistance is not up to the mark

some more pics from Robby's store

hey anwar, does ronlund.com sells only planes/helis or surface vehicles as well?

Got back to the regular field after quite a while... only took the Trex 500 with one battery with me.  The reason was that my brother had acquired couple of aircrafts from Prakkat (part of this bunch  http://www.rcindia.org/rc-locations-and-clubs/rc-in-kerala/msg28373/#msg28373 , you can see the fuse in the corner with the big red circle with a white border just before the tail) and he also found a great deal on foamies at the DragonMart (Aveer, Dubai), where is essentially got full foam kits with all hardware (wheels, linkages, even fiber tape!) for about Rs120 each    So he said he will come to the field with one of those foamies built, and also a nice 40 size warbird with 3 blade props, working retracts and split flaps !

We were not sure what the model was (we guessed it was a Japanese model, probably a Zero), but Mike identified it correctly as the Kawasaki

It was a lot of fun testing these planes.  Usually 40 size warbirds are a handful to fly, requiring some speed to land, which invariably leads to jumps on landing on the uneven surface that we fly on.  But this one was quite a surprise, in how well it behaved.  Lots of fun landing with flaps !  The only catch was that we had to keep it sort of close, since the color scheme made it difficult to identify its orientation when it went afar.

Forgot to take pictures, even though we spoke about it... will post next time.

I worked on an own design depron cessna. First test flight the toy wheels split and burnt my motor. now a new motor mount and ground testing. No flying due to CWG in Delhi.

Hey Foamy, If I am not wrong this is NCC parade ground site in your photo. Am I correct.

Here is one of Rs120 kits (including all hardware, but no electronics) built up !

Here is a Mustang from the lot.  Has working retracts, there are NO flaps.  Flies great, but this also needs some wide stripes under the wings for better visibility, thus helping with identifying the orientation.

There is a Kyosho Calmato 60 in the second picture, one of the best basic low wing planes.

Saurabh bhai! I will be in Mumbai for some time in December, could you tell me if Airoli is close to Sion evarad nagar colony?
Btw, good video, Was that the only place you could plant the camera?

:FOKKER DR1 MAIDEN:

was not successful...power was sufficient CG was perfect...but soon after take off it turned right and banged to the left fender of Ashish WagonR.... luckily  nothing happened to his car. but my fokker landing gear and prop broke away. motor was out from its wood stick mount (forget to put the screw). model was intact.
now the thing need to be investigate is WHY in tilted to right immediate after take off?
