Soon, in fact last week we were coming there to recce, for the show, soon after monsoon

OK anytime sir, but please fix the date early before, so that we have a chance to practice .... er... you know flying with the ace might makes us nervous .. :-P

local school children from St Anthony's were given a free crash course on Aeromodelling and Aeroplanes. here are some pics. Had a get together with children after that at home, bundles of joy

Congratulations! That is one bunch of lucky blighters. More pics please. Would be honoured to be of service in any way.

Congratulations rcpilotacro!! what a way to spend the weekend

Way to go ..........rcpilotacro

Great Gusty    Darn my luck I missed it 

Thanks guys, Catered for less children 40+ landed up, well, we did what we do the best, Shared the food, gave them some posters for home (Last pic), some more pics

VC
your contribution was there too, handed them the chuck gliders

PS
did a inverted fin touch on the ninth hole greens on my yellow bird scratch built, they thought i crashed, i thought missed the put by inches there was big sigh when i pulled up and rolled

good news sir

Some flying of the morning

absolutely fantastic.. I am sure the kids will remember this for their life time... all the best Gusty and let us know if we can be of any help during events like this...

sujju

thanks Sujju Bhai, will certainly get in touch. there will be another show on the 26th at Smit Valley, did some trial flying there last weekend. heaven on earth

  gusty going to do some more trials this sunday with my officers in picnic .  Would you be game to barge in like how we did laitkors

i am in with ASK 21

 

Did test flight of the Quad, will add build log Soon, this one is full combo pack from RCDhamaka. Thanks Karthik and Sanjeev for putting together such a nice kit, Kit with multikopter motors just 500 more is here

One of the best location for slope soaring and the same has been marked on GE, if anyone wants to slope soar in the future even in a real life glider. plenty of Orographic lifting. valley on all three sides so you could soar on anyside depending on the winds. Here is the video, few things about the video
(a) the place you see in front its bangladesh,
(b) see 0:55 onwards there is dive and almost engine off climb along the valley face, there was a very funny incident, i have cut out that video though (Sandy will explain)
(c) some low flying 1:55 onwards to show the planes of the table top.
(d) you can see the wing flex of the ES in a loop, once landed there was a 1" crack on the wing root because of too much of 'G' force

"If there is a Heaven on earth, It is here, It is here, It is here" - Jehangir. he said so about Kashmir, probably he didnt visit Shillong

Great video..Bad Landing 

Atul
I was waiting for the comment, if you notice, it wasn't landing, it was the orographic lift which so strong and near vertical that the moment you hit the rimof the valley the wing lifted up and she rolled over. that is when you really miss no aileron on easy star -I. well i dont remember this easy star doing a real landing, i have tried mostly human landing catch landing or such funny thing with it.

Awesome!

Really heaven on earth! Would love to fly there one day!

A very good challenge for me, as I don`t like to fly on a high cliff or slope,  ... what if my plane went deep down into a Jungle !!! :-/ , But I ought to overcome that, as all we have around us is full of cliff es and thick forest hehe.... 

zonuna

there are so many what if's in life, what if one gets hit by a truck ? unless we shed the fear and fly we wont learn. i have seen aeromodellors who have been flying for over 2-3 decades flying straight and level maximum some loops and rolls and that's it. they wasted their 30 years on this what ifs?

your visit is due to shillong

I love that low-altitude swoop! (near is baar to takkar hai) I can do it on the sim, but never did that really... want to move into planes after my next quad...

Thanks rcpilotacro, I`ll be brave ... sooner or later I`ll be there in Shillong...

How do you transport or store an "Easy star" (the one rcpilotacro flying) I am asking this because I believe the main wing has to be Glued/fixed on the fuse. As the wing cannot be taken apart later on, how do you guys transport this plane ?
