Thanks   

my friends fpv flight over the salt lake stadium



Subbu

Yesterday I had a experience with my favourite raptor 50.

This was my first experience with so heavy wind and I am happy that I was able to hold my raptor stable in air.

Yesterday our flying session was really great and I even got the opportunity to see the parasailing.

Hope soon the  coimbatore aeromodellers club will be famous.

   

Will be posting the photos soon..... 

Hello RC India members,

Last day flight with my Raptor..

It was a secience expo at my college and I am happy that I had a wonderful experience there.

Hello Nitin,
Please post some pics too.

Watch in HD

Enjoy the video!

This week i went to India Hobby center in Calcutta to check out a 6x4 propeller and was told that you don't need an exact size propeller.You can just cut a larger propeller into this size and rough it up a bit and it's good to use. Did just that .Waiting for the weekends to see if this works!

That is very irresponsible of IHC, giving such rubbish advice to make a sale!

The pitch has to be matched, as you will not be able to cut that to size

Further, the prop needs to be balanced

I would suggest look for a new vendor for your hobby supplies 

His advise was this get an 8 inch propellor ,cut an inch from both sides and if it isn't balanced u can scrape some material from back of the heavier side to balance it .He didn't sell any prop to me .My impression was he was trying to be helpful ! He even invited us to a flight session in maidan and promised an initial training lesson.

Maybe I dint convey correctly in the previous post

Don't know bout the pitch issue you highlighted though !

I once did this silly trick of cutting the prop,
my flying wing went down and one side of the prop got chipped and it started vibrating violently and flew off, and have to cut the other side to balance it since it was the last prop i was left with for the day.
im flying with this prop till now as you can see this in my build(post 4 pics)

but i agree with Sanjay sir and wouldn't recommend anyone doing this as this may heat up the motor and may even burn it, vibrates the plane a lot, make mount weak, electronics can go mad.(actually scrapping off prop for normal balancing has more bad effects than good if done without expertise, to the best go with stock ones if you aren't into FPV)

My Vote too goes to sanjayrai55
Using props exactly as they are designed for is the best option to go for.

Thanks that's useful

Preparing for flying tomorrow (Y)

Lovely day ! My RC aircraft flew for the first time today morning    there were quite a few things wrong with the plane ,the ailerons were not aligned properly and CG was a little off . Two amazing gentlemen we met at Hoskote -Mr. Sivakumar and Mr.Lingaraj helped to fix it up ,Mr Sivakumar then flew it for testing .It managed to fly and do some cool stunts 

Planning to do a lot of sim time and also buy the sky surfer and practice before trying this model again

Had great weekend after long time. Me and my friend Prashanth, we got the Sky surfer from RC Bazaar.com.

We order it on Wednesday and received next day in Hyderabad by picking up from local courier office.

Few pic's and Videos. Happy Flying, and Happy Ugadi (New Year).

Loaded up heading out for Sunday morning ritual. Sadly we don't have a cameraman at field after my son has relinquished his job as one 

Blackmailed the Rat for the camera man job with this first flight to him.

fly my skysurfer near the hill side. Tried some loops, later tried to speed the model at full throttle towards the ground and to regain at close to ground, but the servo attached to the elevator failed and the plane hit the ground at full throttle from more than 100 foot.
Broke the fuse completely, rudder and wing.
some snaps....

You mercilessly killed your plane

Hot glue and extreme tape, she will fly again.

@ Ankur-     was helpless, due to servo failure.
@ Ashmida   Will try to give it Hot water treatment, then hot glue and packing tape. I am also confident, it   
                 will fly again.
