RC India

I was reading in another thread about the high investment needed to start this hobby when people don't even know if they are going to like it. One of my friends had ideas to popularize this hobby by giving introductory lessons and flights for a nominal fee to cover the fuel and other expenses. If you get interested then you can invest in your own model. I got his permission to post his number here, you can contact Sashi @9902344448.

[Admin Note] The above information is for Bangalore only.  For Chennai, please see the post by "rcforall" later in this same thread.

hmmmm... sounds familiar.
wish someone would do that somewhere around cochin. maybe i will check with him the next time i got bangalore.

Sunil, you should get trained ASAP, and offer the same in Kochi  :) 

NB: Made the topic sticky.

Would be glad to do that.

Any one wanting  a similar situation could come over and try their hand on my good old battered but still going strong Multiplex Easy Cub on Sunday Mornings  for a start .

Once they feel they can handle it they could then invest on a set up . No charges for these  trail flights , just a way for prospective aero modelers  trying their hand on the real thing before proceeding.

Contact me on 09380577074.

Anwar please make this a separate info. thread  if you needed

So you plan to put the newcomers on a buddy/trainer cord ?

If you are an ugly dork you'll be put on trainer cord and made to stand 2m away. If you are a good looking girl, hug method will be used.

JK.... ;D

What is the location where the training flights are given in B'lore?

I guess the location will depend on the day. I'm just the messenger here, I'm not the person giving the training. You'll have to call the number and talk to Sashi directly to work out the details.

Wonder if you will also bring a laptop loaded with one of the simulators, and have the person play with it for the first 15 to 30 minutes ?  ;D  :P

This is actually a dream of mine.. to have an instructor on a regular basis (bi-weekly atleast) to hangout here, so newbies can get trained. I may fly but can't train as yet. I can only motivate and share.

I live in a town where 3 clubs have gone under.

My Job - help learn via Sim and help buy a model - join me on a sunday on your own risk  ;)

Joe - Can you update your profile with your current city/town ?  http://www.rcindia.org/profile/?u=5;sa=forumProfile

good one :D!!

Can I still contact Shashi....Quite an old thread so just wanted a confirmation.
Anyone else from bangalore...how wants to help voluntarily... desperately looking for some one who can help me out..I dont know where else on this forum can I find such information..I remember reading something like this on this forum but now I am not able to find out..Anyone can help??

Not sure about Sashi, been out of touch for a while now.  Why don't you join the folks who are flying at one of the fields there, just see this thread :

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-locations-and-clubs/mega-list-of-rc-fields-locations-clubs-in-india/

Jakkur is access controlled, so you might want to try one of the other places first.

Where do you stay and what kind of help are you looking for?

I stay in kaggadaspura (C V Ramannagar) area.
I have a model which I got from one of my friend with broken wings. I want help in repairing it.
I am also looking for someone with whom I can go to one of flying location in Bangalore to have my first experience.
Some one who is ready to share knowledge in this field. I have knowledge of flight dynamics and currently doing well on realflight simulator. I feel I just need a breakthrough.

Any one from bangalore  8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Thanks

Hi All,

I just bought a Yak54 and need help to learn to fly...Please help !! I live in south Bangalore.

regards,
ravi

you can go to jakkur air field on sunday morning and you will meet fliers there...

u have many people here if you search through the forum


more over a yak54 is not a beginner plane, for a person who does not know flying,

 you have to go for a trainer plane which will be a better start

Merged into existing thread about training availability on Bangalore.

Dinesh, think we can meet up? I live in old byappanahalli.

www.rcbazaar.com (http://www.rcbazaar.com) is a good RC hobby shop in Bangalore..

Very Frankly... We have a hell load of models at my office ranging from Nitro to Gas to electric Helos and Fixed wings... amounting to a total of 15 models in waste. Recently we have recieved money and support from the leadership of the organisation to revive the long gone Aero-modelling club at my office. Being a simulator Instructor for Boeing 737, 767, Airbus 320 type in office for quiet some time. I have taken the charge of leading and reviving and hit a wall. I need to get the team of us trained on fabricating new models, reviving and maintaining new models, and flying them at-least not as an amateur. Some one told me about this forum, and now i am posting here to see if i can get training for the team of us.

Hi Guys,

       This is Rohith from Bengaluru..,  Am very happy to start this hobby and I am dying to fly my dream model su-47... I know it needs tons of practise to reach to EDF level..  Am looking for expert opinions so that I can quickly get started.. I need suggestions to buy a radio that will help both for a sim and flying purpose under 6k and also places where fliers meet so I can get some lessons.. Hoping for a positive reply and support...  :)

[Admin Note]  Merged into existing topic on the same subject... please search and post in the right threads.

hey there!
welcome to rcindia!
a great radio i can suggest is the turnigy 9x, which you can get from hobbyking.com.... also you can choose for the rebranded FsTh9x... this is my opinion thoughm there may be better radio's out there... :P
why don't you start with a trainer aircraft first? you have tons of RC stores in bangalore as far as i know...
you can contact them!

hope it helps!
aniket
