Today has been a great day for me…… :)
Ever since I stepped into RC I wanted to make a plane by myself which could fly….. the more I started to understand the physics & theory http://www.rcindia.org/rc-general-topics/basic-aerodynamics-for-rc-flying/msg41417/#msg41417 (http://www.rcindia.org/rc-general-topics/basic-aerodynamics-for-rc-flying/msg41417/#msg41417) the more questions I had and I kept asking them on this forum….yes there were people who tried to help in which ever way they could…. But one person who guided, answered my queries & built my confidence was Gusty (Mr. Augustine )http://www.rcindia.org/rc-people/augustine-from-kerala-and-my-hangar/msg57550/#msg57550 (http://www.rcindia.org/rc-people/augustine-from-kerala-and-my-hangar/msg57550/#msg57550). Since then I had a wish to meet him personally.
This time when I visited Guwahati I elongated my business trip and planned to go to Shillong to meet Mr Augustine… & WOW what a place, nice weather, clear sky, no pollution. Reached at his place by around 11.00am & found him preparing planes (CAP10 & his favorite "Addiction") for flying. The best part is he has real flying field 1-2 Km from his place. After a refreshing hot tea we went to fly.
It was a wonderful experience seeing the expert in action. Gusty explained a few flips & stunts like barrel roll, Cuban 8, Blender etc. Later Sandy also joined and tried his hands on KATANA V2.
All in all it was a nice experience & fun filled day well spent with the Guru of aero-modeling.
That was very sweet Saurabh. Nice pics too...
Eagerly waiting to meet Gusty boss when he come to Hyderabad.
saurabh, we were touched & honored by your visit, thanks to you and your enthusiasm, we flew for so long, also thanks to you i had mutter paneer for dinner :)
looking forward to fly with you again and learn more about robotics
ps
i am an eternal student & beginner in skill level, no where close to guru, there is so much to learn and so little time

Hello All,
I happen to visit coro Maestros place and ... WOW what a place !!!
a dream for all Hobbyists... everything available and everything in place!!!!
Buying things is no big deal but keeping them the way you see in pic is real tough job!!!
Nice 1 hour spent with Sanjai sir in his coro laboratory.
Saurabh
God ! These couple of years, you have gained some pounds and grayed some hair, how did that happen, too much of work on Airtel i guess
Yes gusty..... only work work and no flying.....
And about weight its the illusion cause of winter clothing!!! ;D
Saurabh, it was great having you over, even if you had to ask Girish for directions to reach :giggle: :giggle:
And, I do build on other materials besides Corro ;D
Oh very nice... :)
