Just saw that this has been now announced :

http://wingindia.com/aeromodeller_meet_2010.asp

really good.. no wonder RC hobby will remain only for the classes and not for the masses.

This is just a sample of the high-end 

Should not prevent anyone from doing a simple one without international participation etc.

With hardly any flying experience I would surely like to witness the Grand Event as visitor. The visitor fee seems okay. Just the acco goes beyond my budget (its like buying a mid range ARF every day). Ready to be some one's driver  and get back to boarding days dorms!!

Well you need not stay at Aamby valley. You can stay at Cloud Nine : http://cloud9lonavala.com/ Or other nearby places.
Even at Aamby valley you can stay at the annexe for 1000 bucks a night.

Anyone here on this forum has any plans to attend ? Sai ? Anwar ? Shahs ?

I am really keen to and it might be a good place to meet and know people.

hmm..when opening cloud 9  it is saying malware detected

Anyone who is going to attend this, please provide a report here, preferably with some pictures. I would have loved to attend, except for some family event holding me back

Hopefully, the event is being held every year now, so taking a rain-check for next year.

Well even I would have loved to participate, but couldnt manage somehow.
Amir has gone there, and when I spoke to him today he saw some amazing German heli flier do 3D and also some 150-200CC planes. He will be bringing back some good pictures and videos to post here.

This event was very enjoyable, it also gave me an opportunity to have interaction with experts.

Hello everyone...

Just came back from Aeromodellers Meet 2010 at Amby Valley.

Best 4 days of my life...... Anyboby been there must have enjoyed Klaus (19 yrs from Germany) flying his Align Heli.

You could say "Chopper on Steroids"

Will post photos soon...

Great ! 

Was Tareq there ?  It seems that would be a good "duel"

Pls upload the photos fast, cant wait to see.

Hi Friends !!

Requesting whosoever attended the meet to upload the photos/videos for the rest of the world.

Thanks.

Few Photos are here...just the few...more i'll upload today...

even last year's meet photos u can see in my album

Thanks Chintan.

Are those your helis ?  You should post some videos of your heli flights

hope to get a good set of pictures uploaded to their website by the organizers!!

It was a great event with a lot of class around the place and a hell of a lot of great flying. Klous as in a class of his own, but what about the other Heli flyer, Harveer, flying the Raptor 50. He matched Klous move for move. He was the the best of the indian lot present there. If only guys like him get some support from the aeromodelling community, Indians can go places.
Another thing that troubled me was that the beginers were pitted against the experts. 50 cc petrol engines and 46 glow engines were in the same class. Extra 300 and a high wing trainer were fighing for the same glory. That is somehow not too fair.
Will post some photos tomorrow.
Woud like to hear what other people have to say for this.

I hope some one posts videos of both the heli flights (Klaus and Harveer) !

I guess arranging such a meet itself is a huge feat, so making tons of categories would make it even more expensive (prizes etc).  Agreed that it would have made more sense, but those must be driven by practical difficulties !

Will try to get Harveers video soon.

Here are some of my photos.

Some more

Wow, Real Big Planes!

Jets look like REAL ones

"This item should be handed by pros or can turn into a weapon of mass destruction"

Hi Guys,
Like Anwar it is my pleasure to know Ramesh Tahlan another dedicated Aeromodeller in Delhi...
Ramesh Tahlan says.."we have to carry the hobby forward, and my shoulders are available dude"   
Thank you Ramesh we love you buddy for being so genuine and helpful.

Hey Anwar we found another gem like you...
RARE SPECIES YOU GUYS ARE..

Here is a link to his night flying foamies and how to light them up (not literally... Hey Mc... Now dont you go quoting me on this, especially for you I have renamed the images.. "Ramesh is flat out  and ....Ramesh is flat out inverted)

The Youtube version of the Corbett night flying is already posted here

This is by far the best video coverage I have see so far on this meet.
Deepak

cant we merge all those small parts into one big video..the small ones are not so interesting to watch waiting for the next to download...

Hi guys, sorry for the small size of the clips, actually i did try to up load an one piece, spent 8 hours trying to do that, finally gave up and decided to keep it short and sweet, and that is how i succeded the up load. Deepak, thanks for putting me on the map of India, RCINDIA, many thanks.

Here's another couple of Harveers video with his Raptor 50.
.

From what I have seen, both Adarsh and Rajesh (Rotorzone) would provide good competition to Harveer   You all should go to Aamby valley next time !

Reading all posts one thing is sure that everyone in aero modeling community wants event that is for masses. And yes we are planning to have Grand National aero modelers meet here in Navi Mumbai at Airoli field in month of December. We from our side will arrange for everything for every participant and yes a fair competition. We will be also inviting some flyers for abroad. Tareq has already promised to come. We will be having night flying also. We are hoping that around 6000 to 7000 spectators will visit the show.
All are requested to support the grand event for mass.
