hi,

Sandeep here from pune. im Gen.sec for Pune Aeromodellers Association. we are completing 5yrs and have around 100 members.

currently we are in process of forming a Aerosport society of India. this society will support all aerosport activities and become a regulatory body in enforcing safety regulations and be a common platform for all rc pilots, pargliders, paramotors and glider pilots to associate as one body and make things easy for all.

we are currently supported by the DGCA authorities here in pune in this process and as per their guidelines we will very soon be registering the ASI.

regds

Superb Effort..Congratulations..

Happy Diwali everyone..

good effort sandeep

on a lighter note
is this the paa we are talking about ?

Good one Gusty.
The need for an Honest and trustworthy aeromodelling federation is very much there and it is about time too. But IMO the catch phrase is "Honest and Trustworthy."

Doc

Congratulations Sandeep in making the effort of making a club and helping the aeromodeling activity.

What support is given by DGCA in Pune?

What is ASI(full form) and how is it involved with Aeromodeling?

We could use your knowledge to be a part of our program for promoting the cause of aeromodeling in India.

hi,

ASI means Aerosports Society of India.

Here in pune we are having all aerosport activities on one single ground. like aeromodelling, paragliding, paramotoring, microlights and conventional gliding. due to the increased response in all the fields lately.
it has been oberved that a common body is needed to monitor all the activities and enforce safety regulations and be a single point of contact for all aerosport activities between the dcga authorities.

the DCGA authorities here are very co-operative and have broadly envisioned the aerosport scenario. if today we do not form a united aerosport society and raise a voice for our existence very soon all the commercial activities will overtake and make us extinct. hence this body is being formed so that all aviators come under one banner and raise a voice for thier very own existence.

Aero club of india is not at all interested in promoting aerosport activities and has become a commercial organisation playing its own cards in its own region. the other states are left at their own destiny.

we need aviators from all fields to unite and raise a single voice against the babu's in delhi who are only interested to eat the cream. no one there is interested if u do aeromodelling or other aerosport activities. as long as their pockets fill their is no concern.

customs have their own mood of taxing our items. the national security looks at all aerosport activites as part of terrorism activity. there are no clear rules and regulations for aerosports neither is it taken in positive by authorities.

the topic is never ending and will go on forever. just request all members to kindly think on this.

hope the message is clear.

regds
sandeep.

is this the paa we are talking about ?

there is one more club in Pune called BAAP (Baner Aeromodellers Association Pune) headed by Mohan.

where does BAAP  come in between and how does it help . and headed by mohan 

we are talking about a one big society at all india level. 100's of associations will be formed which are of no use.

sbajare sir

We need to unite like RCIndia as true hobbiest and not like the body that can be easily governed by some commercial personnels working preferably for their own interest and sometime others like us only to survive themselves as united body.

As a never ending thread, I shall not post any remark after this if not absolutely required.

BAAP never comes in between and helps by educating newbies to stay away from PAA. All under able guidance of Mohan

To my thinking, if true, that would actually be "coming in between" !

Ok, correction it does come in between; and that's about all I know

fyi,

PAA has been formed in 2006 by aeromodellers who have been in this field for past 20+yrs.  with an objective to promote aeromodelling amongst the new and old generation. we are successfully completing 5 yrs and backed by the very support of Gliding center, the only mother center in India with an area of 230 acres. nowhere in india is there such a facility.

i am surprised that BAAP is following Mohan  good pls go ahead my compliments and best of luck to BAAP

( Still waters run deep )
this is what mohan had said about PAA. lets c who runs deep. time will tell.

Mohan has been blacklisted by PAA and we very well know what he is. The gliding center authorities here have taken indisciplinary action against him for interfering in thier matters.

with such negative members on this forum who are only looking for passing the time. i cannot say much but wish best of luck for BAAP 

PAA is well off and growing.

regds

Is PAA registered?understand it was initiated by Chief Instructor Gliding club to have some control on field users.
the idea of ASI was also initiated about a year back by him-any progress on this front?

Currently Aeromodelling does not come under DGCA,Having Aviation background ,Know most of the people in DGCA headquarters in Delhi and other areas.

To give an adverse comment on ACI,without knowing its composition and activity is unjust,aircrafts and gliders at many clubs in India have been provided by ACI,there could be one at Pune.It is not a regional body.

They have recently appointed consultant aeromodelling to provide better support to this activity.

We should all make efforts towards a better consolidation,for the benefit of all.

Bajare Sir,
Correction, I am not the head of Baner Aeromodellers Association Pune (BAAP). Praddy Sir is the chief out there . I am a beginner. How can I head an  Aeromodellers Association . Dont you realise that SunLikeStar is pulling your leg ? Amit aka SunLikeStar flies at Baner and is very well informed about your PAA outfit by those who fly at Baner.  
Anyway all those who fly at Baner have had very bad experiences at Pune Aeromodellers Association (PAA). This includes me too. I can elaborate at length if you wish to have your dirty linen washed here. I can ask the others also at BAAP to share their experiences of being associated with you. Remember Ranjit Bhaskaran? He can write reams of his association with you. For the uninformed, Mr. Bhaskaran is a retired gentleman who lost two brand new glow trainers while flying at PAA due to frequency clashes. Ever heard of lightning striking the same place twice . Well, Thats the way PAA is run .
Blacklisted ? I never got any kind of communique to that effect. I guess thats the way you run your body. I guess my career is finished now, huh ? Believe me, I am shattered ...I cannot recall getting listed after paying your membership fees . HILARIOUS. What have you got to say about the 20 odd flyers at BAAP who have blacklisted you ?  Ever wondered why flyers drive 20 odd kms to Baner when Hadapsar is a stones throw distance away from their homes ? Or, are they all blacklisted too ?
And I think generally one takes a disciplinary action not an indisciplinary one .
And at BAAP there are no charges for beginners to learn flying. Get the drift? Learning is free at BAAP and I guess thats the case all over the world unlike at your outfit where learners are fleeced.
Now, I have the dubious reputation of being the first aeromodeller to have been blacklisted in India or perhaps anywhere in the world . I will now have to live with this stigma for the rest of my life . I am truly devastated. I wonder if Anwar Bhai will also blacklist me . On the lighter side I have a first to my credit .    
And yes, Baner Aeromodellers Association Pune is also well off and growing , thanks to you...
 

  Sir.
This is looking like wrestling arena .Everybody Please come out with Views as to what small group of aeromodellers should do in smaller cities or should I say developing villages . To me Joining a organisation at a very distant place looks useless . Because we have to deal at local level. ofcourse as a umbrella organisation it may be good. But if the fees run in thousands then forming a local group and going to the private fields sounds as a good idea As it is there is no dirth of flying areas in mofussil and the people out there are helpful.
    Happy landings to every modeller.
If anybody is hurt because of my writting my heartfelt appologies . As it is english is not my mother toung I might have written something and meant else
    Thanks.

Hi Narayanrao,
I will bet my last dime that this new federation joke is going to ask for money first, talk later . They must have for all you know have exhausted their resources fleecing beginners. This is the same old wine in a new bottle, believe me . Knowing them they would be serving you old wine in an OLD bottle... ...Passing time, by the way ... The people involved cannot keep their own house in order in Pune wherein we have two associations and they want to run a national setup ? These guys would give Russel Peters and the like a run for their money ...
This sad accident also happened at Hadapsar...

Regards,

Anwar ,
Please make a separate thread for the  Pune SLUGFEST  going on on this thread .
So that the thread of AMAI does not get hijacked by the Pune Warriors it will also help them to have their own RCIPL which can go on between themselves.


I think the AMAI FED discussion can go on separately .

From the looks of it Aero Modeling Organization seems to be quite a topic for a research in sociology   there are  more fights and ego clashes than there are associations  at all locations in the country .      

to all the office bearers of all the associations around India , you guys must be really hard pressed  to hold the association big or small together with this kind of  Slugging .

I apologize  in advance if any ones ego is going to be hurt by this post  



Sai

Sai,
No, this is all about Federations AMAI, ASI, ACI and the like all over the place...Why would you want to split it up...I had nothing to do with this till my name came up, Blacklisted ...and the person involved who is one of my best pals wanted to set up his own federation...I will absolve from any further discussions on this thread if there an issue with my comments ...lest I be blacklisted here as well... ... For all you know what the hell, I may set up my own federation ...who does not want extra money ?

In fact federation will be engaged in petty politics when the axe comes down, it is mass movement from  free spirits through forums like this that will / can make a difference.

Proof of the pudding

What is the connection? Only thing in common, that I can see is, "Hadapsar". So?

wow.. that was fun reading :-)...
hope we can get this thread back to its original discussion.
