Super Event.

i like the idea of Bungee chord in between the gear (Auto Sawdhan), was planning to come there, fate has other ways

Your presence would have made the event even more pleasurable augustinev sir......

Wow looked like the Amby of the North, Conspicuous by the absence of smaller planes. I say that only on account of the photographs available.
Guys does no one fly a 46 size plane any more? And are there no flyers capable of putting up a great schedule with a small plane.
Waiting for more photos  and reviews from the guys who had been there.
God bless aeromodelling.

@ Anwar - Mr. Talhan was flying and the engine misbehaved during the begining of a loop ... the result a tail slide crash....

That is sad... I guess there was not enough altitude for an "auto".

Review of the event :

The venue :
Fantastic venue encompasing a huge clear sky and a km long runway at the flying club Karnal.
Marked area for aero equipment / tents / chairs and ample of space for car parking.
A stall for sandwiches , cold drinks , snacks etc and another for lunch, we also had a stall for R/C equipment.

The planning
Flying started at 10:00 hrs on 19th Nov 2011 ( Saturday)
a)First we saw heli's - Trex 700, 600, 500, scale heli's , both nitro and electric.
Heli fliers : Jamal Ahmad, Lavneet Gyani, Raju Chaudhary, Laxman Suthar.
b) Now came the turbine jets : Mr. Moore of Wings India had come with a six member team which displayed some fantastic turbine powered machines eg. tucano, viperjet etc. all planes were majorly flown by Wassi.
c) Post the jets came the gassers - 100cc, 50cc, 30cc, 20cc - from YAK's to Edge, Extra, U can do, you name it and it was there. Fliers: Jamal, Rohit, Wassi, Bobby, Raju, Divay
d) Nitro Models / Electric planes : Very minimal mainly trainer crafts. Fliers : Manish Agarwal, Ranjit Talwar, Vikram Sangar, Subir, Divay

Overall the two day event was an eye opener and was a complete entertainer.... I hope the platform only becomes bigger for all those who were against AMAI and its conduct I feel that this event will and has sealed any sort of criticism.

And what we achieved at KARNAL is what matters happy reading

Divy,

Anything really exciting took place in these 2 days. How was the fog? I hear the 1 km runway was only half functional and along with some human participation, there was a presence of a substantial non human participation too.

The efforts by any organization are to be commended, however big or small.

Do you actually feel in your heart that the grass root of aeromodeling is Jets and Gassers? How do u feel this event has done in the promotion of aeromodelling and in the promotion of young and talented flyers.
Are u not entertained at the Noida field when you fly every Sunday? Apart from having gotten the opportunity to meet some fabulous people and to have made new friends, do you feel that this event went in any way in promoting aeromodelling in India? Do u feel that this is what AMAI stands for? And these are the 'high' standards that have been set for others to follow.
Like I said......... I wasn't there and I have no first hand knowledge, so just wanting to know from someone who was there.

Guess to many "Do you's"  But I'm just trying to be the devils advocate so that we may have some more ideas for the next meet...... wherever and whenever.
Doc

Doc,

As all startup events have hic ups so did this one - fog played a bad factor, we guys were prepared to fly early but only ended up flying by 10:00 due to weather.
We had a number of school students who came to watch the event, which surely was a promoter of the hobby, on the flipside one of the kids threw a rock on bee hive causing a bee attack which disrupted the event for close to 30 mins.
I dont know how it has done in the aeromodelling promition but it sure has got the community together for starters.

Overall it was a fantastic event and as wine becomes better with age I am sure such events surely will.

It is with the dedication and support of aeromodelers like you Divay that such events are possible and succeed.Keep up the good work.

Is that a hirobo bell 47 G seen here or is it the vario

Regards

Yes it is a Vario Bell 47G with a gasoline 26cc motor and 810 blades.
Cheers

LOVELY MACHINE THAT!!!

Lavneet

Must congratulate you on owning such a beauty. I think this heli takes you a notch higher than
other heli flyers around.

CONGRATULATIONS

Thats Bell 47G scale body from vario with a Vario benzine trainer mechanics inside. I assembled it for Xantos/Nandan from Mumbai 2 years back :-) 

Guys who've attended the meet; please post videos.  I've seen two videos and both are of the J10, any other videos out there?

Regards,
Adarsh

Yeah somebody should have the bee attack on video !
Quite amazing to see a shamiyana full of spectators disappear into thin air.
Only people unaffected by the bees were Mr Dosu and Ranjeev

Bill, Pls don't misunderstand. It is owned by a friend - Nandan from Mumbai, lying with me in Delhi currently though. Cant even fly it since it is set up with a JR and I hate to change anything to set it up for futaba
Cheers

Hey Lav,

The easiest to get it in the air is to get aJR 9X and key in the same values from Xantos radio, and your're good to go!  Only thing to do in that is its slightly off tracking (very slightly) and most importantly get governor for it. 

Regards,
Adarsh

I only have the XG series Tx/rx and no backward compatability with the old JR systems. If I do fly it, will need to set it up with the Futaba system. Why does it have two small JR Rx like thingy's on the mesh boom??

Are those satellite receivers

yes they are satellite receivers.  I think we used a 9 channel JR/Spektrum DSM2 receiver in that heli.  The 9channel's got an option of either using one or two satellite receivers for redundancy.
