Mambakkam field is flooded now with lake water after the cyclone. For the time being we are flying in Sembakkam. Contact  v2eagle for the gps link.

within city limits, you cannot fly any UAV without permission from police... I guess permission is not necessary if you're flying in nonresidential areas of suburbs... there are lot of such places... If you don't hesitate to travel, you'll find many places fit for flying
Examples mambakkam, kelambakkam, kovalam, mudichur lake, puzhal lake, outer ring road phase 2 & many villages near theses areas are fit for flying

hi
Sholavaram site is used now?

Can u pls tell me the exact location.I am a student of vit chennai (kelambakkam vandalur road).We are in urgent of testing our plane pls contact me@7791862643 and tell me the exact location

You can try near Arudpadai Veedu Institute of Technology, Paiyanur, Old Mahabalipuram Road.

Alternatively you can try in cricket ground near ECR kovalam. Also, there is lots of open space near Thiruvidanthai (ECR).

Prior to flying, get permission from Local police station as safety measure.

May I know what type of airplane you are testing? Is it SPAD, or ? Size? Electric or Glow?

Samayaraj

Hi,
Would like to know where is a safe and happening place to learn this. I did start on trainer (but did not complete it, with hardly couple of solo landings) in 2006 in Gurgaon, and when moved to chennai, had a few friend who helped me at Sholavaram. Then had to shelve it due to commitments and other events in life. Would like to re-start again from Trainers.

Is this place flyable now at
2021

Still flying is allowed in sholavaram?
