Greetz to All..

Good news for all beginners, foam, heli and <.30 size -electric flyers.  
A new field has been identified at the heart of ECity.

We(Myself, Sunil and Ujjwal) did a couple of flying rounds today and it looks good.  
Thanks to Sunil for suggesting this place.

+ Would be great for flyers from south bangalore. Around 30-40 Kms to and fro.
+ Ideal for 'crash n learn' with grass and small bushes all around.
+ No water loggin and swamps (like Hoskote lake bed)
+ No cop (or other) troubles (like.. you know this)
- No runway like path at the moment (expect for a short stretch of cricket play).
- No entry-road for 4 wheeler vehicles into the field.

Note:
Details like entry, maps, pics, video, field dimensions etc etc etc will soon follow.
Other appropriate 'RC Locations and Clubs' threads will be updated soon to reflect more about this.

Thanks
Aby

Wow awesome! Is this where you were planning to go last time also when you invitd me?

Looks like a nice find... hopefully people like Vinay would strike one issue off his nasty list

BTW, is Sunil a member of RC India ?

@rajath
Yes this is the place. Hope we can catch up every Saturdays.

Hello All, here is the location map to the area.

http://wikimapia.org/#lat=12.8429963&lon=77.6546502&z=17&l=0&m=b&search=concorde%20cuppertino

Sunil or Drone - Can you create an annotated map, showing how to access this place ?  Like where to park your car and how to proceed from there etc ?

Something like this one for the Mahalaxmi  field in Mumbai : http://maps.google.co.in/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=115314231684838022607.0004807a537e970937d80&t=h&z=17

You will need to login using your Google account into http://maps.google.com, and then use "My Maps / Create a Map". 

I have been waiting for my 1000 post to carry something meaningful.

The field is fantastic for foamies - 3-4 feet tall grass almost everywhere, not much of bystanders, vast open area on both North and South sides.

The video below is that of Hobby King Mini Swift - hand launched by Drone (Abby) and filmed by Phoenix (Sunil) and yours truly on the radio.

The plane has moderate to good wind penetration for the day's wind of  around 10-12 knots on the ground and little more above the surface. This was the first plane I trimmed myself, after Ashta sir did a fine work for my Estratos.

Hope to finish by 3DBatix Diablo for next weekend flying.

Very nice flying Ujjwal,

Please get it this weekend when we go flying, want to see it fly.

TG and Anwar: The correct link is now posted.

Thanks. Will surely visit. What time do you'll fly on Sundays, Saturdays too??

Drone (Abby), Ujjwaana and me have plans to regularly fly here on Saturday mornings, we plan to start around 6:30 AM.

very nice ujjwaana.
It was so small and felt that it will be difficult to fly. congrats
ashta

hey frnds,
can you help me out to find a palce to run my rc boat which i have made recently and want to run it in a nice lake or so as i am new to Bangalore.

Looking good  . As long as people dont flock, it should be ok to fly a 450/500. BTW my tea racer should be ready by this week end.

BTW -Ujjwal. if your ESC/electronics is not working after the watery crash last saturday let me know, U can take new ones from me.

Ya, At first I tot it was ujjwal holding the cam and sunil flying 

@Ashta Sir! You make such micro planes fly! This plane was considerably bigger. Since it rained heavily that Hoskote would have been even worse now. Do you plan to join us at Electronic City ?

@Vinay, Thanks for the concern. I gave you the control with all liability on myself. You would see interesting pics of my Estratos reconstruction soon.
It was a double jeopardy - Both myself new in flying and Sunil had a brand new HandyCam. Tracking a flying object and keeping in focus is not easy. You need lots of patience. Would love to see your TeaRacer. hope you would serve it Hot!

Its not about liability. Its about having fun. If I destroys others plane, It would be my resposibility to pay back the money. I am doing this to keep myself safe, especially when u start learning helis and want to borrow mine. Coz heli crashes would be much more expensive.

Just kidding lol.

Let me know if the ESC is working or craped.

I'm planning to be there this sat/sunday! Anyone here living in and around jayanagar by any chance??

I stay behind keane (after yediyur lake, near south end circle.)

Hello, any of you fly in this field now? I was wondering if I too can join this saturday?

Thanks
Koushik

Anybody going to E-city for flying this weekend. ?

Raj and I will be flying @ ECity tomorrow (Sunday, 1st May) at around 2 - 2.30 PM.
If anybody is interested, please join us
