this week end was quite funfilled.....

during the flight on the electric Royal coachman the motor came off... the mount was still in place... it just ripped off from the screws holding the motor and the mount(should have checked preflight.... this goes in the pre/post flight check list)

the sonic was maidened.... ( more details on the sonic thread)

finally the showstopper was sahir's plane landing on the tree top( around 30 Ft high)..... he was comming in for landing and the engine cut off.... was trying to glide it back but the winds were so strong that it blew the plane away... finally it landed on the tree top....

searched on the ground for around an hour... but later when we went on a building around 100mts away we could see the plane....

we did not find any one at site to get the plane down so it lies there for tonight in the open.... people will come tomo morn to get it down......

a fun filled weekend....

@aero - Did u guys manage to get the plane down from the tree ?

Flying tomorrow..will try to post some pics or video..

yes we did manage to get the plane down the tree.... as it was on top with brittle and thin branches... we asked the climber no to go on the top but to just throw the plane down using the stick from half way.... its in bad shape.. but will be flyable after some work.....

Had lots of fun today at the Baner field. Watch in HD

Great Video..Great Flying..

1:38 amazing low pass..

This week: Ventured into planes as well.
Started building a BluBaby 33" from coro. All parts glued (using Araldite std. epoxy), yet to decide on the power system.

Good build and flying, we flew the same one today (Apart from many others)

Ash used a 3 axis stabilization on his easy star 2. easy peasy landings

nice     

Praddy doing aerobatics on Sky Surfer.

Went to a long drive to Wynad-Ooty the last Eid long weekend. Since I was taking my car, it was a long time dream come true to carry a plane on a trip.
Wynad was ok ok and on Sunday, we started for Ooty from the Kalpetta route (Coimbatore-Vythiri-Gundelpet-Ooty Highway 181).

The drive was amazing with little hillocks dotted with Tea plantations. Around evening time, some 5KM before the Pykara falls, I found a perfect spot for a quick RC flyinng :  Lake in front of Hills and a small open field to land.  The first hand launch by a total first timer friend ended up in a nose dive. Then my flatmate took up who has done some launch for me.

What followed was  30 minute of pure fun. The backdrop was one of the most scenic - something like Sod Farm in Real Flight. Atleast 200 villagers gathered to see this feat, probably happening for the first time in their area.

The Coordinates for the spot on Google Map is : 11.465536,76.559812


Spot the Plane!!!






Yours Truly!

Hope to do some similar RC Cross Country trips in the future!

wow beautiful place to fly

Shhh... I missed it.. Reminds me of Harsil n Dhanaulti..

Far from it!! Himalayas are Himalayas! I asked you to come.. there was ample space in the car.
I would definitely do a similar FPV flight in Spiti-Leh Himalayan Ranges... Ohhh... can only imagine the view!!

tried my quad outdoor(after a lot of Planes jumped for quads) for the first time.... the board handled the winds pretty well but could not handel the sudden gusts....

+1

Once again am at the place of Oranges... Nagpur! If any of the Nagpur RC gurus are flying tomorrow, if you could kindly tell me where you guys are flying...I might be able to come and join (just to watch you guys flying ). I have a cell number that I borrowed from a colleague here but dont know right now what number...

After the build, first out of house flight of the 450, actually my first out of house flight after hours of sim practice and few on the rooftop flights.

impressive 

Nice flight.  I would have done it away from those power lines, on a more wide open field... but then it all depends on how confident you are

I had missed this post. As someone who visits Wyanad quite often (while I am in India), I am going to try and seek out this place for some flights !

Thanks anwar, it was fun flying the heli like this am still learning to control with different orientations, will try to visit some of the more established fields soon....
