My visit to RcBazaar too will fall in this category of RC India pilgrimage, though couldn't catch up with Sujju, caught up with his team (Minus dilip, who was on a Honey Moon)


Full account Here

Indore
Nearly Fag end of my pilgrimage, (only Delhi left now though met up with some of them). Met up with FlyingDoc (Vikas), Iyer sir & Ma'am, Harveer, Aaron, Salim Bhai, Harveer's elder bro, soni, and some more avid modellors who are not on the forum.

Wonderful place to fly from, After couple of flights we have tea made by Mrs Iyer and sometimes something to eat. First day we caught up was at Iyer Sir's son's wedding(see pic), nice place to catch up. subsequently at the field where i flew my huge sky surfer and couple of other models of Mr Iyer, Mrs Iyer and Iyer sir flew my well trimmed model and had a blast.

Here are some pics

Did some aerial videography, chased some aeroplane, flew below and hovering aeroplane, did some aeros, some pics of the same are here

Did some stunts (Did all aeros with cam) and some formation flying

That's Harveer's Katana (scratch built) beautiful bird to fly

Gusty let RC Aunt fly his plane (note hands behind his back)

Till he decided to snatch the Tx back...

...and she wasn't even crashing...

Gusty under the wires but over the cars...

Gusty with my Spitfire upside down...

Just realised that gusty's pics of my Pilatus B4 glider were not taken by him - but by his plane's camera while in flight!

Hahaha! I wasn't. I asked her to land. She insisted I do the honors.

What a fun we had!

Well for the post above here is the proof, RC Aunt is Flying and yours truly is watching with folded hands. Iyer sir, gotcha!

This is one great shot, Harveer on inverted Harrier and me tailchasing him on Sky surfer, My aeroplane was buffeting in his prop wash, we were so close

For the benefit of the uninitiated, the 'Inverted Harrier' is NOT related to a Harrier GR.1 / GR.3 or AV-8A/C/S Harrier flying inverted. Don't bother searching for it in the photograph posted in the earlier post.

It is an aerobatic manoeuvre where an aircraft executes a very slow inverted forward flight motion with the nose high at about 45 degrees of attitude.

Watch the video here:

Hope this helps.

1. Watta shot Gusty!

2. That lady has class - no wonder Iyer Sahab is so proud of her.

Respect and Regards to all concerned.

Well

this was time i met Akky (Akshay Bhardwaj) Chipper Raju at my in-laws place dehradun. Did some good flying of some exquisite aeroplanes and Multirotors.

It was back to back build and fly scene, Chipper's collection is huge, some of the aeroplanes he has, i dont think anyone in India has them, classics, For all and Sundry, Raju is an old hand at this hobby, in fact he co-owned an hobby shop in Pune, has been around since CL days.

Akky, multirotor specialist was my man ! there at Doon

It was a pleasure flying with you gusty uncle ... I see more days like these in future

Certainly Akky. You could come over to Hyde any time and fly my planes
