Ramesh Tahlan

Please send it to the email address at the bottom left of any page here.

Thank you... the file is attached.

Anwar,
I have sent the final fee structure of AMA to the e mail add below on ur web page, We had a meeting on Sat night, and have got it into very good shape for every one.
And some one asked about carrying pyrotecs. Yes. No carrying of any type of rockets etc, on rc planes, it is a securiy requirement. u can fly elec, nitro or gas, but no carry of rockets and all that kind of stuff.  After the Mumbai Customs episode, which was shown by a TV channel in very bad taste on national network and as a threat to nation. 2 of the rc members had a meting with home ministery, and they told us that if we do not formalise rc hobby soon, there is a strong case to ban any kind of rc activity. So that is why this full throttle effort to make AMA a formal single national rc voice, through ACI. I am very please to say, that 22 May will be a land mark day for rc comunity, we have been able to finally make a fee structure, so that one and all can join.
Happy landings
Ramesh Tahlan

Dear Ramesh,
There seems to be a mismatch in the fee structure. The one attached in this forum is different to the form in the AMAI website.

Pankaj

Hi
Pankaj,
Thanks for pointing it out, what has probably happened, is that the form was finalised earlier, and the fee structure was finaliseed only on 22May. will let the AMA lot know, so they can redo the form

Are these regions a static list or is one created only when members join from a specific region? Don't see Bangalore yet or is because no members have joined in from here. Seems like regions = states?? Won't it be better to have regions that consolidate otherwise fragmented groups?

tg,
Hi, here is Mr Nagars e mail add u could ask direct questions as he is the President of AMA, so that there is no ambiquity, he will be definitely please to answer

Anyway its very interesting to a member in this organisation, please let me know . how we apply.prakkat

Ramesh Tahlan

Hi, is there anyway to upload pics in the galery on amai, coz I see no such way of doing the same.,...
Regards,

Divay

divay,
u can uploa, i had told them that this facility must be given to members only. cause initially, only Regional Secretary could do it, which is painful to say the least.
Ramesh Tahlan

Divay, you may email the pics to me. I have access to the gurgaon chapter.
Talhan Sir I would prefer that only the RS upload the pics for some more time. The photos being uploaded need to be moderated before they appear on the website. The moderators for the amai site need to be appointed 1st for that.

Sure Sandeep Sir... will do the same....

Sandy.
ok, with u.

I have been often asked -Why Should I join AMA?

The Answers are :
4AMA will interact with the Administrative and Govt. agencies to
obtain and maintain your rights as a sport.

I felt its high time to bring  this 'One of the most crucial step in Indian R/C scene' out of cold storage.

With actors like Imran khan ridiculously asked to get approval for getting a Toy Heli, and seeing a bunch of highly talented kids not able to get close to Jakkur fiel ,BLR ( which for being a Govt flying club and also a NCC hub, should be a natural right for them), I really marvel if bodies like AMAI could achieve most burning charters of their foundation ?

Many people like me would like to hear from people who joined AMAI, if all ended up with 'Feel good' factor or they really got some thing substantial after joining.

LHS could sell volume and go in price war mode. People could import from Online Hobby shop with ease. But with R/C flying itself being a Hush-hush affair, it more looks like addiction to Marijuana - every one knows it is available, but can't enjoy openly!!

just my 2

I was all set to join, then realized that it does need a bit of wait and see attitude, especially after seeing a nasty fight inside the core group.  Wanted to see what they actually achieve (other than membership), to promote the hobby.  Insurance is a good thing, but that is just a "private" affair, which anyone with means and persistance can do.

Like Ujjwal said, what is being done in terms of "recognition" is what many (including me) are waiting for.

Still Waiting....

Ade Yaar... Aeenu 'Haapy Neu Yaar' ho jawenga phir jawaad nahi aawega!!

Hi Guys,
There have been the normal apprehensions about AMA and I stayed away from the discussion,as we were too new and there were many tasks before us.
We are now 8months old and I would like to apprise you of the small steps taken to support the hobby in India:

  AMA was formed in 2009,as result of a model in Delhi straying away into a populated area,the owner of the model was grilled by the police and felt completely helpless.A strong need was felt to have a registered body to give credence to the hobby and to provide third party insurance.

AMA was made open to other aeromodelers in May 2010 and formally launched.

Some aeromodelers who are now current members of AMA met the Home Minister,in early 2010,to apprise him of the activity and requested him to allow continuation of the hobby,and not to ban it due security reasons as was being considered at that time.
It is because of this initiative that all aeromodelers are able to continue to enjoy the hobby,if at all.

Continuing in the same spirit ,affiliation to the Aero Club of India was sought to have an umbrella organisation under which we could get acceptance as an Aerosport ,this was obtained in May 2010.

Subsequently Insurance cover was also organised for all members.AMA also made the Aeromodelers aware of safe operating procedures.A lot of information is there on our website :www.amai.in.

Considerable time and voluntary effort by all members of the governing body went into the process of coming this far,in a short span of six months.

AMA members took part in the events at Narnaul on the request of Aero Club,and participated at the fun fly meet in Patiala,they are now organising the meet in 12th and 13th.February 2011 at Delhi.

We are in constant touch with Aero Club ,and have once more made a request to follow up with the customs and WPC regarding our difficulties in these areas.Considerable study and ground work(time consuming) has gone into preparing the case files for these.Aero Club is actively working on this.

Aeromodelers all over India are benefitting and will benefit from our efforts in promoting this hobby,whether members or not.

We have had a good response from aeromodelers who joined as they saw the greater benefit to the community and support for their own cause and the organisation.

AMA has brought Aeromodelers together on an all India platform,which will continue with the goodwill of those who recognise the future benefits to this growing hobby.

We look forward to active support from all aeromodelers to take this process forward.

Vijendra Nagar
President
Aero Modelers Association(AMA)

Pleased to inform all aeromodelers
one more small step forward-AMA and Wings India of Mumbai are affiliated
for the benefit of members of both.

And a warm welcome to RC India, Mr. Nagar

Thank you Anwar,
We are taking up the issue of customs through Aero Club of India,the file is too large for attachment,but would be glad to send by email to person/s interested to see it.

The case for the frequency allocation is under preparation to be taken up with Min.Of Communications.

Inputs from aeromodelers are invited.

Kindly forward the file to the address on the bottom left of any page on this forum (in the green footer area), and I shall make it available for access to all.  The audience would be greatly interested in the contents

Glad to see the AMAI taking initiative in this direction

That is such a great news..i guess you succeed  with your initiative. I guess the two most important frequencies for rc will always remain 72 Mhz and 2.4 GHz. Have been thinking from a long time now to join as a life time member...will do that soon now

Regards
Ankur
