It would have been a surprise, but not when it comes from you  {:)} Trying to imagine the excitement among smaller kids if this was used in a demo at any school !

BTW, looks like you are building 24/7.  Do you still have a day job (the kind that feeds the wife and kids) ?  :P  ;D

I had to do lot of fine tuning esp the CG and balancing, to finally make it fly. I also had to put a lower Motor to balance the CG. Once we get the sweet spot, its realy fun to fly. pl see the videos. once agin since i took the video thru my Hat cam pl forgive me for the out of frame issues.
As suggested by Anwar, i am putting two videos, 1. just to show the plane close and 2. the flying video. Thanks for watching.

Hello all,
Here is a video playing with real Eagles. This is an unedited video. in fact it took some time for the eagles to get attracted and come. So in fact i wanted to cut the first few portion of video before posting it here. . But i do not have much experience in video editing. Hence i could not do it.  pl do not give up seeing it by watching the initial video, eagles starts coming after after 1 min 40 seconds.
pl note that i took this video myself while flying using my crude but very effective CAP camera arrangement.
thanks for watching.

Man  O man!! How were you keeping up with the orientation and distinguishing  between your birds and so many kites Ashta sir? I have seen Kites chasing the EP Planes more often in jakkur as well. They keep away from Nitro and Gasser may be because of the loud sound.

Great built and beautiful flight!!
