Title: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: VC on June 21, 2012, 12:14:10 PM As a part of my professional activities, I conduct Soft Skills Training Workshops for the staff of a major Healthcare provider. Yesterday, as a part of Lateral Thinking, I introduced them to Depron Plate Gliders. I was truly impressed by the participants grasp of ratios and proportions, and in no time they constructed the gliders which flew beautifully!
They were delighted as they had learnt how to make a new toy for their children, nephews and nieces. Now they also want to hold an inter departmental glider flying competition! Here we go............... Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: punty on June 21, 2012, 12:31:11 PM Nice one sir :)

Cost of building a glider : Rs. 7/- Enjoyment : Priceless! Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: rcpilotacro on June 21, 2012, 02:58:53 PM :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: VC on June 21, 2012, 07:46:31 PM Today the ladies joined in. They are more meticulous and exact while the guys are more 'lets get on with it and fly the damn thing!"
The first picture shows broom sticks being selected for fuselages. Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: VC on June 21, 2012, 07:49:18 PM Seems like a happy lot. No testing was possible due to torrential downpours.

Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: KALYANPRODHAN on June 22, 2012, 08:16:57 AM Whow,
Styrofoam Glider, This should be introduced in different workshops. This is not only cheap but also slow flying. God Job. Sanding wing and using cello-tape in leading edge is the hack for this model. Plate edge adds stability automatically. vc, In our wiki, please enrich by our knowledge and experience with different model plans, trimming, adjustments, tricks and materials please. Thanks Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: vineet on June 22, 2012, 09:33:22 AM would be honored too , send the details
by the way we donot have open spaces Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: mickey on June 22, 2012, 01:25:33 PM Nice work vc sir! {:)}

Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: VC on June 22, 2012, 01:40:31 PM Thanks Mickey. Since people are interested, I will soon detail the process of organising and conducting a simple aero camp here.
Zonuna, no videos unfortunately. Must shoot one the next time. :thumbsup: Title: Re: Aeromodelling and Healthcare Post by: lugoasgaurav on July 27, 2012, 11:00:23 AM Really awesome work :hatsoff: ,That's India --where every scratch has a design to fly!! {:)}
