vc saab great effort

Overwhelming support from the parents is pouring in. One such person Mr. Mallick, Father of the youngest participant Disharee (who is just 8 years old) mailed these pictures. I was missing the Hovercraft demo snaps, and here they are......

Pic 1 : The little wonder takes off

Pic 2 : In flight - awesome shot!

Pic 3 : Hovercraft action

Pic 4 : Air cushion effect is visible clearly

Pic 1 : Ready for take off

Pic 2 : Test flight - needs more plasticene!

In the background in the white shirt, leaning on the car is Laldenga, our forum member who was there to provide moral support in spite of the inclement weather. Thank you Buddy!

Thank you Mr. Mallick for these beautiful photographs.

Dear VC,
I got no words to describe your efforts..
This is truly a marvelous job you are doing in that corner of the country, rain or no rain, your kind gesture in rendering a helping hand to the tiny tots is indeed an achievement and a trophy in your hand!
All I can say is that "you are one hellva guy" completely unpredictable...just some time back you were commenting on our threads and without warning, resurfaced with such an exhibition which diverted all our normal lives on RCI to this very interesting thread!
I have been so busy with work these days that I totally get exhausted upon reaching my crib and adding to the trauma at work, my network card too is with my beloved! hence, the late comments.
I wish you all the very best in all your future efforts and achievements.

A truly great effort!

regards,

Dorwin


NB: Welcome all newcomers on behalf of RCI!

Hey man, thanks a ton for appreciating my team and the participants. By the way, the workshop continues unofficially.....meeting a bunch of them tomorrow and the day after to help them build the Hunter! They are an amazing group of kids!

Frankly! you are one lucky guy then!
Living in the lap of India, having the mostest awesomest weather, getting younger instead of older and a hurrah bunch of kiddos who are interested in the hobby..
What else do you need?

We are on to our second camp and the dates are 27th, 28th and 29th Dec. Most of the other details remain the same, including the venue (Regional Science Centre Guwahati).

Just a few changes :

Instead of making a Depron glider on the first day, the participants will make a small balsa chuckie (wingspan 9 inches). This will hone their sanding skills for the Magpie Catapult Glider which they will start constructing on the second day and fly on the final day.

With the weather being wonderful, we shall hold the camp in open air, under a canopy.

All participants will get a chance to fly a micro RC 9074 Co Ax Helicopter (indoors) by themselves. For most of them, this will be the first time that they will hold a remote in their hands. This will also, hopefully, give them a basic idea of what RC is all about. The MiG 29 and Eurofighter shall be powered and used for a flying display.

Wish us luck!

Cutting short.....wow!

Thanks Traxxc!

By the way, The Typhoon Eurofighter has not been featured here, so here goes.

way to go Victor Charlie 

Superb... Some people just keep the hobby to themselves and then there are people like you VC Sir, who take all the time & pain to make sure more and more people learn and enjoy the hobby. I will be going to Delhi and try to get my youngest cousins & their friends into the hobby to start with. I am planning to build some chuck gliders as well to give them but if only time permits. Please let me know if you have any spare gliders... any one will do... I just need to give it to fellas..

I have already build this hobby in my 2.5 year nephew and he can very well differentiate between Plane, Heli, rockets... he is learning to throw a glider and also takes care of controlling throttle of a 2Ch micro heli... I am sure by the time he is 5 he should be able to fly a micro heli on his own.

Camp dates postponed. Not being held as scheduled on 27th - 29th Dec 2010. Fresh dates will be announced soon. Possibly 8th - 10th Jan 2011.

one more thing to add.. VC had been inpiration to me to continue the hobby after lots of frustrations and crashes.
I managed to get my first(working) lipo charger from him, and named the charger as "VC charger";
My previous balsa glider was output of his inspiration; one more bird is yet to come
There is lots more i cant narrate..
He is a guy with you learn something new, everytime you interact with him.He holds some knowledge which cant be found in any tutorial.

Those kids are very lucky to have a Mentor like you..
