Well, we have some real competition for Ashta !  

Thanks Mr Anwar for the compliment

I have seen Mr Astha's Hanger. Mr Astha is way up above my league.
For me to reach anywhere near Astha will take many many years of hard work for me.
I am just a year plus old in this Hobby though I am not new to modelling and electronics.

Awesome! Simply awesome............

If may ask, what were you modelling before you got into RC ?  Static aircraft models, or something else ?

Also great to see Tx in the hands of such young kids.... with parents/guardians inducting this fantastic hobby to young ones, I see a bright future of this hobby in the country. Please keep the dying art of scratch build alive too! else these young kids would think the planes, like potato chips, could only be made in factories.

Great Build Col.

Flies great  as well  .

Very  docile  and stable

Mostly Working Models (Non RC) robotics stand alone and PC interfaced, bugs, cars, boats, hovercraft, Solar powered micro models and some static models too. Never tried scale models.


Thank you Mr Sai and Mr Ujjwaana for the compliments

Thanks Mr Astha for the compliment. You have an impressive hanger at Picasso. It would be my privilege to come fly with you some day if at all when I get an opportunity.

dear sundaramvelar,
thanks. any plans to visit bangalore. do let me know.
best regards
ashta

I was actually posted in Air Force Station Jalahalli, Bangalore two years minus before. but unfortunately was not into RC that time. Will surely make it a point to look you up on my next visit there.

nice!! what is total weight with/without electronic?

This was a long time back snehal. As of I remember it was 630gms without battery. add about 130-190 gms for battery depending upon AH it was upto 850 gms AUW. If the video has AUW mentioned in the subtitles it should be more accurate.

did not measure it without electronics though.

Hmm... the dimensions (length, span) missing.... but a great build though.

I was thinking of making a glider with V-Tail but then lot of posts about stability issues, so sticking to conventional tails
