On 19th of this month I had the wonderful opportunity to meet pravesh736 here in Shillong

Great guy !!!! I was all admiration for Pravesh, at such young age  for the passion he shared for the hobby and the extent to which he was well read and  knowledgeable in the hobby, and the warmth in his humble unassuming interaction which I shared with him.

I was impressed with his control on quad flying.

Happy flying Pravesh. Rain god played spoil sport that day. Hope in future we will be flying FPV formation some day.

I too had the pleasure of interacting with this fine young man. He came over last Sunday and spent hours flashing my boards and teaching me how about Quad behaviour. His knowledge of Multi Rotors is so deep that I found myself floundering, out of depth. Given the fact that he is old enough to be my son, it was a humbling feeling and also one of pride. I learnt very little though, as 90% of what he was trying to tell me went over my head. It will take me a few years to reach the level that he considers as 'Basic'. Profound.

It was a wonderful experience to see him fly his 450 size Quad to perfection inside my withdrawing room. I, of course, had my heart in my mouth and forgot to shoot a video.

Thanks to him, I now have a set of 6ESC's flashed with Simon K and I am dying to start the Hexa build. However, I have promised myself not to start till I finish 2 boats that I am struggling with.

Need to sleep early as he is dropping in to see me at 6:30 am tomorrow, on his way to the airport.

Thanks again for EVERYTHING and hope to learn lots from you Pravesh.

If you think he's well versed with quads, wait till you talk to him about cars.

That guy knows his stuff and he sure can drive. Needless to say, he's a great guy to be with.

No wonder he was flying his Quad with such high rates of yaw. His quad was almost Drifting and Skid Turning in air just like a car  :giggle: :giggle: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

Even i need to say thanks a lot to Pravesh  :thanks: because when i brought new turnigy 9XR with Frsky i was very confused to bind the Frsky module and receiver because the receiver was glowing solid green and i thought it should be red, later i took help from Pravesh. I was really shocked when i saw his video of flying 450mm spider H quad in night like 3D flying amazing  :hatsoff:

I have never met him personally but often we talk on phone for some product or quad stuffs.

He indeed has a good deep knowledge about quads, and at the same time he is very humble person too.
