Dears, I will be visiting Nagpur this Tuesday till Thursday on a business trip to our Branch Office there. Can some one kindly help me out by providing info on RC there like clubs, flying sites, RC shops etc.? This is my first time to Nagpur and will be very helpful

There is mr Fulli Buxy, zubin, mr joshi, and of course sanket there, sanket's contact details is here in the forum,

Thanks Gusty Sab, that was quick 

Tried to find these users but not much luck. I have PMed some of them and hoping to hear from them. None of their websites are operational too! I did not get much time find more as this trip was finalized today I was hoping to do some RC shopping during my stay.

@Nagpur since yesterday. Though on official purpose, I was hoping to see some RC (clubs, shops, people). Any how, going to Mumbai tomorrow and I have a day there free If some one could tell me the locations of RC shops there....would be great. Please help.

Nagpur is not the best place to look for Rc shops/clubs but has lots of open space to fly; Mumbai is the other way around Check out the Mega list of all RC outlets.

Thanks SunLikeStar, I have already checked the megalist, but most of them are websites and am new to Mumbai. Could you suggest the best/biggest shop in Mumbai? I was hoping to shop some planes (like AddictionX) to take with me If you could kindly suggest couple of names and places/route it would be great.

Sorry Samlikespad I dont know Mumbai at street level; I hope someone from Mumbai would pitch in and help you out.

No probs SunLikeStar, and thanks a lot for trying to  help. Lets see if some kind hearts comes up with some help

Wonder why this thread's been dormant for some time....

Anyways, I had a blast again at the field today. Three fun flights!
Here's a video of the one where I did some wacky flying close to the ground (from 20s onwards).

Gusty sir, are these people on RCI? I would be really glad to get in touch with them!

                           Friends..Colleagues..Modelers..Deciples..as a modeler, in all segments, i am thanking to Mother Nature, for the great uniterrupted RCying experience..and most exciting and realistic segment is my Boat and Ships..with a simple NiMh batterypack, its hours of excitement..no worry..no hurry..just sit once..and command the vehicles with your TX..and the excitement and pleasure increases as the crafts cuts through water..by making a lots of wave..and, i manages to reaches to sea side lake, or canal, or in River Mahe, daily, for Rcying..so, this weekend i got my deciple Gokul, once and he was too excited with gun boat..so, we gone for an RCying..and was exciting a lots..for hours..clean water source..ample of wind..lots of children and natives..sniggering and giggling all around..and some coffee and burgers..hours of fun and excitement..we started about 5 O clok..eve..and we stopped at 7.30, as the battery of gun boat exhausted..its all awesome experience..and pleasure..that nothing can brings in..now planning for a full night RCying, with a full lighted up crafts, on a moon lit day..and i can simply dream, about the excitement and happiness as my new (still working), big fishing trawler sails in moon light, with all lights, and music from its MP3 player..hours of excitement and realism..think a craft leaving us to a long range of the line of vision..!! with all incandescent lamps on..making a lots of wave streaks of lights all over water waves..hee...heee...awesome..so, try some water crafts..among all other..addiction guaranteed..

and see some cool videos here..i stoped shooting video, within a short time, because looking my crafts through the LCD screen of camera is not a good option as it mars a real feel of excitement..still i took video for a long time..on tripod..and we ran all around the lake..with crafts..mission.. baywatch..

  , nice to see you guys  have ponds, in delhi we have only rush

here..no rush..everything cool..cool wind..chirping birds..lots of parrots..sparrows..green wide paddys..and the goodness of village..

saurabh :setup of every thing used ??

The display is getting affected at time (around 2:00 in the video)... was that you being at the edge of your range ?  That is a scary scenario to be in.

Hi,

No I was not on the edge. The 1500mW 900Mhz system has given me more than 4km LOS. More to do with polarization. The receiver rubber ducky is not that efficient. I am planning to upgrade to a patch antenna. Also, since I have the AP installed, no worries even if you loose video. With a flick of a switch, I can always get my model way back to RTH at a cruizing altitude. (within the visual range).

This Sunday, we had a lot of fun doing waypoint navigation. Did 2 sorties. First one was Waypoint navigation with 5 waypoints. I turned the NAV at 100m and the plane climbed to 200m as that was the default altitude for NAV flying. The best part is that the AP controls the THROTTLE as well to maintain the cruizing speed and avoiding stalls. Second sortie was long range. Went upto 3kms and still very much in control. (thanks to my 1W booster). The altimeter read 400m. I flicked RTH. It came back but we could not see the plane hovering on our heads as it was way too high. Could hear only the sound of the motor. Then using the goggles, I brought it down to a visual range. It was FUN.

Its an awesome feeling when you know that you are flying somewhere in the sky beyond the visual range and can only feel the sound of the motor. 

This is an amazing system... I am loving it.

Looks like video quality is degrading whenever ur plane is banking. Try a clover leaf or something..
Is the osd missing the arrow pointing in home direction? I couldnt see it any where.

Was just waiting to see the complete video..

It was too much fun to join the session..

Ya. This time, I was using a 7.5 dbi patch antenna on the ground. I had a directional vee antenaa on the aircraft which I will be replacing with the stock rubber ducky. That should improve the performance. The patch does give a better picture but you need a tracker... I had one of my dear pal as a tracker... LOL. My next investment will be in a good antenna tracker.

The hornet osd does not have home arrow in the default mode. Home arrow is availble in the radar mode.

This is the new FY31AP with Hornet OSD.

This week trying the new GCS and google map assisted flying using data modems and waypoint navigations with altitude hold... Fully autonomous.... Already installed today and ground checks complete.

After breaking my 36" foamy YAK54, I rebuilt it with same wing/tail pieces with a new EPP fuse (re-enforced with a balsa strip sandwiched in-between two depron pieces for strength). Today I did the maiden and the video follows
