Hi Guys,

I have been to the race course at Mahalaxmi in Mumbai a few times and surprised it is not listed here.  Any of us here visits this place regularly? Reason for asking is also that I have a few guests coming from out of state and want to send them here this weekend. They wish to see the stuff and interact with the members / know more abt RC aero modelling in general. Any help / leads will be appreciated...

I am a regular at Mahalakshmi and would be happy to entertain you and your guests. Lately I have started to visit on Saturdays as there are    - relatively - few fliers. But am there most Sundays too.

Please call me: 98202 84641 and let me know. Entry is being delayed till after 10.00 A.M., the last few weeks. And we have to pack up at least an hour & a half before the first race.

Thanks Sushil...  Shall contact you and take it from there on....

Some more details in this thread : http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/joining-rc/

As of last Staurday, all flying activity has been banned at Mahalkshmi. A directive from the Police Commissioner states that this will remain in force until Kasab's trial is over. That would mean an indefinite time, but a couple of years at least!!

Wow ! That is unfortunate

I will put a note on the "list of fields" thread.

Also, where did all the folks move their flying to ?

I left town for the weekend. A few went to Airoli which is off the Eastern Express highway, between Thane and Mulund. There is a plot that we have been looking at. It belongs to the MIDC and needs some work, though it is "usable" now. It is also quite far for many people. But, I suppose, "flying ke liye kuchh be karega" !!

Will keep you posted as things develop.

If this new location is becoming a regular spot, we should consider announcing it properly, and provide a location map for the same

In due course. As promised, I will keep you posted.

There is another area which I am working on. Would rather wait to post info till something firms up. It will take some time, anyway.

I am really SAD to hear from Sushil about Mahalaxmi I had phone him while in Mumbai, but he replied me with such a warm welcome which I never expect, Thanks Sushil I`ll be back after 3 months.

Hope we are flying again when you come next!

Its a sad thing Mr  Anand

I was to be there this weekend with my bro in law. He's a trucks / cars fan. Anyways, shall call you and confirm for this saturday at Airoli. Its much closer to my home. Hope to meet you personally after our last talk over phone last.

The field is closed for RC flying for indefinate period. !!!

It seems the bad luck is catching up..

Pawan Hans Helicopters Limited (PHHL) has taken over the ground where all the guys in pune fly their rc planes. Since it would be a private land now chances of rc flying on that ground would be but to impossible..

Hopefully, a deal can be made with the new owners.

Waiting to hear from people like Sanjay (http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/spad-trainer/msg15508/#msg15508).
