gr8, 1.isn't that your Jumper 25? 2. Pawn Pandita says , you guys have models running on Gas ??? CNG? or LPG ;D? Just joking. Good to see Aeromodelling getting recognized, I think it should be pushed as a regular sporting activity in Asian Games Olympics etc, Like archery shooting etc..No? Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: divay99 on February 04, 2011, 08:23:25 AM Thank you Vinay.....

Next time, mention RCIndia.org also :giggle: Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: divay99 on February 04, 2011, 12:32:16 PM hey anwar i did ask them to mention the same , if you see on the right hand side of the article you would see sales and repairs, I did ask them to mention rcindia.org as a popular site where people get thier queries resolved, however somehow they did not put that input in.... :(
Will try harder next time Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: PankajC on February 04, 2011, 01:15:36 PM Well done Divay, I guess, this would not have happened without you around
Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: anwar on February 04, 2011, 02:05:30 PM Thanks Divay, I was partly kidding though... great to hear that you remembered :)
We need more RC enthusiasts (and occasionally people who sell virtual stuff and come with gender confusion... just to spice things up a bit ;) ) Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: iamahuman on February 04, 2011, 02:36:23 PM #10 :giggle:
Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: ujjwaana on February 04, 2011, 03:07:25 PM Next time, mention RCIndia.org also :giggle: Looks like more of AMAI venture. Good something is rolling by thier effort. PR is a big business today, not easy get coverage. I also see some errata/wrong information on the right foot note regarding Build Time and Cost. 1. The Minimum for Plane should be bit less than 20K - as Mr Sai is oferring for lot less and Rotor.Co.in for as low as 15K for a Nitro. 2. The Minimum for a chopper is way less than 1.5 lacks. you can get a HK450 up with a radio for as low as 12-15K. a 50/60 size Nitro Heli (not Align/Titan, a beginner one) would not cost more than 50-60K. 3. Time taken to build is a bit underrated. It takes much more even for ARF to make them airworthy and lot lot more for Scratch/Kit Builds. Hope to see non AMAI clubs get some lime light soon. Need to browse thru my Linkdin to see if I have some journalist friends. Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: divay99 on February 04, 2011, 05:55:10 PM Thank you Pankaj....... I will take that with open arms ;)
Ujjwanna Sir, The prices mentioned are basically new start up.... prices in which we forecasted the cost of a 6ch remote for planes and a 9ch and above for heli's I know thoughts can differ and I agree with what you have written from your view point. Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: vinay on February 04, 2011, 06:16:09 PM Are there no heli fliers there? it says "their dreams have wings" and not "their dreams have blades" :giggle:
Heli blades I meant! ;D Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: divay99 on February 04, 2011, 06:21:55 PM hahahahah....
No heli flier at Noida Vinay :( I have a hirobo .50 size waiting on the shelf for someone experinced to teach me how to fly.... I do have friends in Delhi and Gurgaon, however the distance makes it impossible..... Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: ujjwaana on February 04, 2011, 06:44:48 PM The prices mentioned are basically new start up.... prices in which we forecasted the cost of a 6ch remote for planes and a 9ch and above for heli's Divey,Its long to go before you put a 'Sir' in front of me - at least need to build 10 planes, clock 200+ hrs on the Logbook and help/train 10+ rookies. Well I was just concerned that these prices would make this hobby more 'Nobel' (even though Delhi-wallas are very free in spending, out of what 4+ year I been there). If we put a more modest start-up prices, I bet more and more people would turn up to your flying fields. I cherish the coverage of RC in such mass media. I cam to know about RC from a Chaha-Chowdhari Comics and then a Hindi Science magazine 'Vigyan Pragati'. We should make best out of them. Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: gauravag on February 04, 2011, 06:46:17 PM Divay,
I started heli flying all by myself. Believe me. No one around me to check the heli, settings or the radio config. I bought a kit and built it all by myself. It was one of the best experiences. and i learnt much more i would ever have through forums, videos and online resources. I would say spend time on the guides, how-tos and SIM and go ahead and get your heli up in the air ( with a training gear ) . You will enjoy learning by yourself. Just take your time and be thorough. -Gaurav Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: vinay on February 04, 2011, 07:26:04 PM +1, you can learn all by yourself. many people on this forums learnt heli all by themself.
Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: divay99 on February 04, 2011, 11:51:13 PM Totally agree with you Ujjwaana Sir.........
Title: Re: NOIDA Modelers in the media - Hindustan Times - Front Page Post by: divay99 on February 04, 2011, 11:52:36 PM Gaurav and Vinay ... thank you for the inspiration.. lets see if that helps my hands from trembling..... ;)
