Looks like a Mini titan xD

Dropping flowers or other stuff is dangerous. Few pilots from delhi drop flower in marriage ceremony using 90 size nitro.

yup its a mini titan

Haa,  marriage ceremony with nitros swinging over their head, no one would ever guess what that machine is capable of...  SLICING their heads   . How could they do that ,for they themselves playing safe at distance and drooling over the ignorants. A slight misfortune would turn marriage to .... 108 .

I have seen trex 700 f3c electric with led lightings used in ramlela for many purposes
Like showing hanuman flying over lanka

when people are hanging off local trains / riding overcrowded boats
living in substandard multistorey buildings - danger from a toy heli is
minimal.

think how many people fly helis and how many serious injuries are taking place
- it is nothing. You are more likely to get injured bursting diwali crackers.

bro its like  "stepping down onto someone's shoes" vs "stepping on one's shoes" .

@saikat: thats not a toy heli we r talking bout.2500rpm carbon blade can cause grievious injury just enough to ban the hobby if it comes to highlight.

Abhay n avesh commercial interest drives dese people. I have noticed few of them joining rcindia just to learn bout quad n den drop flower on temple n people.

nice Ad ... thanks for sharing

which country you are living ??  ban the hobby ? who is going to ban it and who will enforce??
step out of the city into the real India. people carry guns openly and you are talking about
a ban on toy helicopters ?? By the way - it still is a toy -- please take it and ask anyone on the street.

just because it costs more than a car (nano) ?? and can kill you does not make it otherwise

I am living in the same country as you are. N who said about a ban on Toy Helicopters??? Did i?

So, you are justifying the use of heli or quad in a function right above the head of an unaware crowd that doesnt knows what it can do to them.

If its just a toy then any kid can fly a nitro or gasser plane or heli.

For me they are Hobby aeromodel or hobby grade aircrafts with inherent hazards or dangers. As a responsible areomodeller these hobby grade aircrafts should not be flown over other people heads.

@saikat main difference between toy grade and hobby grade is that toy grade is not meant to be disassembled. Comparing a toy to a hobby grade rc is like comparing a powered wheel chair  to a lamborgini. Even a 450 heli at  high throttle has potential to seriously injure someone. Align has on its every product, stamped not to fly in public areas....  Crashing a heli into the public , you cant escape saying sorry my mistake. cheers

+1 Avesh.

Not flying over anyone is a most basic precaution.
Which we must observe and insist on others too.

About that heli in marriages . I saw these pics somewhere long back

people cease to be responsible when there is money involved.

the scenario you are projecting - while possible, is very very remote.

I am not endorsing this ... but neither am I against it.
people who fly this are making money and they are aware
of the risks.- do you have any evidence otherwise ??

People are posing a greater risk by driving
on public roads without licence

I am quite aware of toy and so called hobby grade - this is nomenclature we
have made ourselves i.e people who are participants in this hobby.
the general public have no notion of this - I know of people
who disassemble so called toy grade and repair - i.e syma parts
are available in the online shops - will this be hobby grade ??

Again I reiterate - just because a heli has ceramic bearings and
cnc machined carbonfibre frame does not make it not a toy.

- there is a saying "perception is reality" thus you percieve these
helis as serious hobby grade - but the vast majority sees them as toys.

Whole point of the above is I agree that flying .90 size heli over crowds
is dangerous - but that danger is miniscule compared to the other more
dangerous dangers we Indians face

thanks dhruva for positing the images..

God, Save Us From the Madness

Any rc model whether you call a toy or not is dangerous if not handled carefully and with respect. It may inflict injuries that may be small to very severe. As a duty we as aeromodellers need to avoid flying dangerously or in an area which is crowded.
