Hello everyone,

Its very late for this thread. Neverthless I rather do it now than never.

Sundaram  from Trichy, Tamilnadu born in Madurai 16 June 1971. I am basically a scratch builder. I have tried my hand at everything  RC, right from boat, car, heli however basically a plane lover but a fan of Micro RC

Initiated late into this beautiful hobby which has been my childhood passion, since Oct 2009 after witnessing two consequent Aero India Shows in Bangalore.

It would seem I have a fetish for Tx. I have sold out some.

I have more number  of tx (Three Tx and Three modules) in all for 900 Mhz Micro  than for the full scale. 

Thank you VC and Saikat.

More to come are my workshop and very meagre collection of engines. Though I am an electric fanatic. Being with Gusty I have picked up a small collection of engines which are all waiting for a plane each to be scratch built for them.

Some of his models are R.I.P, they were pulling way too much 'G' than they were designed for. Thanks to me

That does it. You are NOT flying the Mustang or the Avispad!

those are docile machines can't pull so many 'Gs', will prove it to you that they are really docile 

Bad boy!

All the scracth built planes are great sir especially the shumate bandit. Sir go for a 20-30 CC gasser now!

Thanks to you Gusty.  

Your flying is always a pleasure to watch. All the terrain mapping maneuvers with wingtip grazing grass, rudder scraping dew drops of golf course, belly jumps, and Human Runway touch off  , However I have never been able to shoot videos when you fly because I have always been so intently concentrating on when to dive and dash for cover to dodge the bullet  .

I still remember when the F-22 went up with 6x4 prop but after few belly jumps on tarmac came back with well balanced silent prop only the size had been reduced to 5x4.Now a days my Planes are coming in my dream and complaining, Gusty you know why  . I have started to subconsciously protecting them now I know why.  

Thanks Sravan. I am starting off with 9cc NGH for now. Its mounted on test bed being run in as of now. Its already clocked two sets of 20 mins each with only 10-15% of fuel tank of a 280 cc consumed. It really sniffs gas. Planning to complete full 2 hrs of run in on test bed before it is put in a model ( off course it is going to be a scratch built  ). combination of OEM diaphragm fuel pump and glow style carb is really finicky to tuning. Planning to go glow way of fuel feed drilling the muffler and attaching a nipple.

VC I can assure you your plane will surely fly docile but I can't assure you it will fly level in gusty's hands. Mine flies mostly inverted .

Human Runway touch off 

Recently managed to land on the Human Runway, just that damn umbrella video follows

There was a strict instr from You know who, to pass it on to you not to try to land on any of her friends like that last Sunday picnic.
