Hi pilots, just sent a PM to ujjwaana sir for few info about their group. As creating a new group is not preferred. For now we'll wait for more pilots to join by!!

regards,
JK

Ok pilots!! I think its better of to start with a new group and i still didn't get any reply from him. so who are all interested for this initiative. and its good Rcbazaar.com is also backing us. It would be great to associate with them.

I think it is a good idea. A couple of things:

1. An open FB group is good as it has ability to create events, RSVP.
2. One problem that I see with open FB groups is if you make it open people spam a lot. So, it requires vigil administrators.
3. It would be good idea to involve LHSs. It is beneficial to both sides.
4. Regularity of events: Too frequent meetups lose the steam. Too rare meetups do not develop good interaction/bonding among members. So, someone need to find a place and organize a meetup monthly or fortnightly. (http://jaaga.in ?)

That's my 2%.

I would prefer any name other than RCBangalore as its acronym RCB can be confused with RCBazaar or Royal Challenger Bangalore.

@chindichor - thanks!! will keep it in mind!!

Eagerly looking for it..

It would be a better idea to have one Bangalore Forum  in RC India and there is a wealth of info, expertise and Ideas RIGHT HERE !!! Maybe we need to ask / request Anwar Bhai on this.... Also its a pain to login to 2 different sites !!!

As far as I understand, RC India will still be primary source of chatter and discussion. FB Group is primarily to setup meetups and RSPV. It may be used send Bangalore specific information but that can be done here too.

I too would be interested in joining. My first set of RC parts are on the way! 

@chindichor - yup!! true RCI will be the best option!!
@SK1701 - welcome to the team.

Hi would like to join I am a new entry to rc world. Would love to join u guys and learn more on this hobby

@swiftwing007- welcome to the team.

And the first meetup can be on 7th Dec @ lalbagh if everyone is fine with it.

Regards,
Jk

wish I be there 

I will try my best to make it this Sunday. Will confirm ASAP. Should I bring my quad or is it just a meetup for discussion?

@SK1701-just for a meetup!! no flying!!

Ok then. I will confirm via PM depending on the time.

Looks good to me. Hope it will be post 9.30 am

the meet is at 11 am.
pls confirm before saturday.

Regards,
JK

@subhashjk0508  I think FB can be better way to manage this. If you guys are okay with it, I can open a group for the sole purpose of meetup scheduling. Everything else stays on RCI.

I think that is a really good idea.

Will it not be ok to meet at a location where flyers normally come like Hoskote flying field on weekends?

@ashok - sir, we just want to have a quick meetup, and anyways hoskote is real far for many people and to much traffic too.
@chindichor- sure,good one, had it in mind!!

Regards,
JK

It would be better for u all to meet in hoskote. There are experienced fliers whose help u may have. And also the group would need a place to fly later, so one can recognise hoskote airfield too. Get acquainted. Watch planes fly.
There's less/no traffic on Sunday. It's far for everyone but that's where u can fly in a group.
Hoskote has fliers every Sunday morning till noon.   
Buts it's all upto u guys.

I agree. It will definitely be a more enjoyable meetup if we can all fly. The only difficulty is transportation. Can somebody please post directions.

Search for "Hoskote RC Model Flying Field" on Google maps for directions.

I agree it is far off and difficult to reach. However, one can tag along with people who go there weekly.

Thanks. I found it. 1 and a half hours away! I found something funny while searching, see the attached pic. If anybody is travelling from the vicinity of Bannerghatta regularly, please PM me. I might want to tag along sometime in the next few weeks  .
