Good flying there Chan...  Clap You should be having a separate battery for the receiver. Didn't you?

Ya. the launcher appears authentic south Indian style. I liked the way he launched the plane in one of the previous videos. Thumbs Up

Santosh ,
Great Plane Clap , Great Host Clap Salute , Great launcher Clap Salute  and great Flying Field ( very much like Kovalam where we fly ) Thumbs Up

Chan ,
Good flying  Clap from what  you say it looks like the 4S fried the ESC and not the BEC , if the BEC was to go it should have done so within  seconds of take off. Hence it could only been a problem of ESC cooling or excess amp draw Head Scratching . BTW which was the ESC may be we could check the specs  as all MPX sites say only 3 S .

Anwar ,
Elapor  so not much damage should be there . Wink Grin


Santosh ,
Why don't we have a fun fly event  out on your Paddy fields sometime in April/May 2009 .
Anwar can plan then to be home  as well Wink.

Thanks Ismail... No the ESC had a built in BEC and we were making use of that.. No separate battery pack for Rx.. And regarding the launcher... Hes the best Wink!

Hi Uncle,

It was a typical case of drawing excess amps!! And once the motor quit, I put it on the landing approach.. so it was pretty safe!! And thanks to elapor too!! Smiley Smiley!!

With these Multiplex ones and that paddy field, it would not be a problem even if the BEC also went out.  When Santhosh and I were flying earlier, we had a model disappear from sight behind some trees at a height of about 100ft, and all we could do was to cut throttle. It fell to the ground amidst some shrubs, and had ZERO damage !

I went to the field today with a friend to help him with some training on his Trex 600N heli, on a trainer cable setup.  We share our adhoc flying field with folks who fly hunting falcons (yes, real birds!), and just when we were to take off, we noticed a falcon swooping down on a pegion next to our car.  It caught up with the pegion under our car, and soon the owner of the falcon arrived and pulled both of them out from underneath the car.

It was a great opportunity to see a falcon hunt its prey in such close proximity, and the gentleman was kind enough to pose for some photos Smiley

Just added to the fun today at the field !

Hi Guys,

We did an airshow at REC, Trichy yesterday and it went on really well!! Had a very nice time there.. The planes that I flew are Yak 54 50cc, Giles 202 26cc, Mustang OS 1.20 and an Easy Star.  Aravind flew his huge scale helis and did some crazy aerobatics with his new Raptor 50 SE!  One more friend of ours, Mr. Rajesh flew his Extra 300 50cc, Yak 54 26cc and a Low wing trainer.  Overall it was a very nice experience performing there.  Had a bit of trouble with my DA 50 though.. When the model was flying, I noticed a weird vibration!! I landed and checked the engine, the prop had completely come off and was just held by the spinner.  I removed the spinner and then saw that the 4 bolts used to hold the prop to the engine had completely sheared off and they were stuck inside the engine.. Very lucky to have got the plane back yesterday.. The spinner edges was slightly bent and the prop was damaged pretty badly.. No other damage.. Have to get a spare hub from DA for my engine now..There is no way to remove the broken bolts from inside the engine.. The only way is to retap and enlarge the threads...

Anyone from the forum came for the show???

Because he posed for personal pictures taken by us, not to be posted publicly on a forum Smiley  At least not until I meet him again, and get specific permission for the same. It was more a courtesy move from my side.

The pegion was food for the falcon, just as nature prescribed !

I knew of an interesting use of RC Planes in UAE  concerning Falcon and Pigeon .
In UAE Falconers build a small cage under a highwing trainer  and put pigeon in it , take off  reach an altitude  and open the cage door with a servo and the pigeon flies out . then falconers on the ground set free their falcons at the same time . The competition is whose falcon gets the pigeon .

The  first  time  I saw a plane being modified for it in  Abu Dhabi I was quite surprised at the ingeneous use of the RC plane.

Actually that is very common here Wink  People (with lots of "resources" and who are into both hobbies) buy like 5 to 10 pieces of the same model of planes (the Kyosho Calmato Sport 40 low wing is a frequent candidate), and have them all tweaked with the "bird release" mechanism. Causes planes to get sold out in no time, causing some grief to others Wink

Helped train 4 different folks this week.  One of them was my brother's 10 year old son.  He flew near perfect circuits on his very first flight (using a Kyosho Minium), reiterating the fact that significant simulator time really helps.  He flew more using the AXN Floater, with pretty much no external help !  And the important thing was that turning both ways (figure 8s both ways etc) seemed like very natural things for him.

I hope any newcomers take their sim time as serious as they can.
