RC India - Flying and racing with open minds !



Although the wind made it tough, we had a lot of fun (and couple of minor crash landings!) trying to grab the plane in the air instead of landing it.  Video of that to follow  Wink

Hi Guys,

Officially entered the Jet League day before yesterday.. Had a couple of flights on the Intro Boomerang.. Unable to stop myself, I went and flew yesterday too.. This time it was 4 flights.. Did a formation flight (sort of) with Guru.. It was a back to back takeoff with me going first on my Intro and Guru following on his Viper.. We did some fly bys one behind the other and I landed first and taxiied off the runway making space for Guru to come in and then he greased his Viper in.. Would post a video of the whole episode... We burnt 20 litres of fuel yesterday alone.. Going to the field yet again today.. Planes being taken are the Skygate Hawk (HUUUUUGGEE Jet), the Boomerang XL jet, my Intro Boomerang jet, Tiger 60 and the Groovy 90 (flying on a YS110)..

And another thing worth mentioning... Guru was test flying a Great Planes Giles 1.20 size flying on a 26cc petrol engine.. After about 5 minutes into the flight, the aileron pulled off and the plane went berzerk and came nose down on a spin (almost).. But he managed to recover and pulled off one of the most beautiful landings I have ever seen.. Plane was saved without a scratch.. Got a video of it..

Pics and videos of the last couple of days to follow soon...

Windy day, so planned to fly my Trex 600 nitro heli, but it developed a locked clutch problem. On closer inspection, I realized that the clutch lining had worn off, and the arm of the clutch shoe had extended too much.  Time to put a new clutch lining, and probably change the clutch shoe also.  This is usually noticeable in flight itself due to how the engine rpm is translated into blade speed, but some how it went unnoticed.  Time to remove the engine and do some maintenance !

Clutch shoe had broken off.  Not totally unexpected with almost a year of aggressive flying.  Replaced.

Flew the AXN Floater again today, with larger 2200mah batteries.  The CG is a bit better with these, and the longer flight times are an added advantage.  And confirmed that it can float to ground when power is cut.

All-in-all, looks like this is one of the best beginner ARF that money can buy.  And it is extremely cost effective too.  Looking forward to the local stores carrying it soon. We are getting couple more of these for newcomers to the hobby on our field.

Also flew couple of tanks on the Trex 600 nitro, after replacing the clutch shoe.

My brother tried some on-board cam also with the AXN Floater.  Need to try the "pen" cam next.

Went to the field, still under the threat of heavy winds and possible rain.  Turned out to be a good day. 

Helped a new flyer from Kerala with building and flight testing an AXN Floater.  A week on the sim, and 4 batteries of flying my brother's AXN Floater on a buddy setup with me over the past two weeks, and he is flying around and landing on his own with his AXN Thumbs Up

Thinking of getting an AXN Floater or a high-wing 40 or 60 size nitro trainer for training purposes alone.  Have a spare sim, so a few flights on a buddy setup should have people flying on their own.  The more the merrier Wink

Nice !  Does your jet plane have flaps ?  Wondering about the landing speed.

Hi Anwar.. It does have flaps but the speed that you saw in the landind is just about the right speed at which it wants to sit down.. The flaps are just below the turbine and I come with full flaps down (amost 90 deg deflection)..

Saw this RV-4 being built from a kit in one of the local shops. Was a bit of a surprise, as not may are spending time to do this any more, and it is all ARFs these days.

Hi Guys,

Just landed at about midnight in Trichy... Up already and editing the videos.. Would be posting them soon!! Had a soooooper great 3 days with Santhosh and friends.. What a company oh man!! Was lucky to be there.. And they were the perfect hosts!! Thanks Santhosh....

I flew 2 twisters, the Gemini and the Twinstar all in the paddy fields.. Was very much impressed with the Twister.. Flew about 5 sorties on 3s Lipos and found it to be slightly underpowered and struggling on takeoff so after reading a bit, I punched in 4s since I was quite confident about my throttle management.  But proved myself wrong and burnt the ESC after about 4 mins of agressive flying, though I made a conscious effort to reduce throttle after the passes!!

Check out the videos which would come later on today!!

All in all a soooooooooper time in Thrissur!!

Planning another trip in March.. this time with some of my planes too Smiley Smiley!!

Thanks again to the perfect host!! And the launcher (Kannan) deserves special mention!! Smiley Smiley
