Planning to conduct an Inter School Camp from 18th. to 20th. April 2014.

The workshop will cover the basics of Aeromodelling and will invite students from Classes 8 -12. It will be held at South Point Higher Secondary School, Barsapara, Guwahati. It will culminate in a competition held on the final day, where the participants will compete and win exciting prizes ranging from Aeromodelling Kits to RC Tx/Rx units. 5 schools with 25 participants have already confirmed, need atl east 60 participants from 12 schools to make this feasible.

The exact details are being worked out. Interested persons may PM me or email me at .

Wow. Thats great. Will spread the message. Great initiative.

superb, may be we could work out some theory classes through Skype, if you need me to do it, gimme a holler

I was just wondering if by any chance you would be here around the time. Would have liked you as the Chief Guest to give away the prizes and maybe fly some of my models.

How about creating a small booklet on RC Plane design and basic theory? And also Gusty ji's idea is brilliant,he is one of the best people to give lectures on theory of aircraft as a whole !! :d

doesn't look like at that time VC, but will be there soon for my Univ thingy which you arranged

Pity Gusty, can't think of a worthier CG for the function other than You or Sandy. No point in asking the good Lt. Col. as he is busy getting Turban charged and has probably forgotten the North East. The others that I can think of are all beyond reach.

On a lighter note, I plan to introduce the kids to a delightful chuck glider  designed by Frank Zaic's Jetco "Thermic 18" balsa glider. I downloaded the plans and built one from scratch in 30 mins. It flies like a dream before trimming. Probably the best chuckie that I have ever built in my life. Saikat could  build a masterpiece out of the plans available here, unless he has already done so:

The picture is from www.outerzone.co.uk, mine looks similar. Wings, tailplane and vertical stab are modelled out of 2mm balsa. 2mm CF rod reinforcement on the fore fuselage, fuselage is in 2 parts from scrap simul dowels (6mm square).Too lazy to photograph and upload my model now. May do it tomorrow.

For reference, the metal scale in the foreground measures 6 inches.

Faintly reminiscent of IHC's Yellow Bird

Keep up the good work and spread the good word 

@vc sir,
That website is very attractive.
Building it yourself or hired a pro?

Aam aadmi Sir - aapna haath Jagannath. Thank you.

Rai Saheb, I'm one of the few lucky ones to have an original Yellow Bird stashed away. It has the dethermaliser parts intact. Hope to build it someday. There are many copies of that classic model, however, it was a polyhedral (Unless I am mistaken) and the Thermic is a simple dihedral.

Now building the Keil Kraft Flicka glider.

@vc sir,
Eagerly await progress.

@vc sir,
No news?

Hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday, I will have some good news to post here. Insha Allah.
