Yes indeed. When I went there in Sept-Oct last year after a break, it was indeed flooded till ankle high. Lets see how long can we continue flying!

Hoskote guys, I saw a big snake (5-6feet long) which passed by my car and was around a metre away from my car when I was entering the runway area .
Please lock your car and take extra precautions and dont let the kids run here and there.

In which case attach floats to the landing gear and keep flying - of course will need to sit inside the car or on the roof.

Even I had seen snake (I hope the same one) last to last week at the same place. Please guys take care of yourself.

[Admin Note] The last two posts were split from the HobbyKing thread, which the topic had NOTHING TO DO WITH ! Please DO take a moment and post in the right threads, or create a new one.

is that like every sunday? i would love to come and see.

dineshk13 · July 01, 2011, 09:05:04 PM

yeah. Its every sunday. Are you in bangalore? You can come this sunday.

naatumach · July 01, 2011, 09:44:29 PM

i'll be in bangalore from 3July to 17July.
I'll definitely try to come on 3rd.
Now i am in a dilemma if i should bring my scratch-built ones. I am worried i'll embarrass myself greatly, and also the repairing stuff i bought is in shipment. so the a/c is a total jugaad, but it flies.
Its not like i dont have space to fly here, i have space but the problem is that its too windy here.

My wife gifted me a Nine Eagles Sky Eagle. I tried it a couple of times and managed to crash it. No injuries to the plane; just to my pride.

So, I am here asking for help. We live near the NICE road on Kanakapura road. Are there any members in the area who might be able to give me some practical tips. I read a lot of tutorials and watched a few videos. Still, when it comes to practical flying, I think I could use some help.

Which brings me to the second part of the problem. Are there any places nearby where people meet regularly? I haven't checked out the place near E City. I tried flying in the land near my apartment (the area is still not developed). The wind is a little too strong and I crashed both times because of strong tailwind (at least that is my excuse).

One place I might be able to fly is in the basketball court at the apartment before anyone starts using it. Would that much space be enough for a beginner?

Thanks,
Pradeep
