RC India - Flying and racing with open minds !



Kit and Plan Builds - Fuel Powered
Scratch and SPAD Builds - Fuel Powered
the above two has some redundancy.  being  'gray' can be argued both ways.

I thought pure scratch building was worth recognition, and any SPAD build is a close cousin.

Not to diss anyone, but building from plans or kits feel just like assembling a heli from parts (with the extra step being only the initial cutting up of foam or balsa).

Or may be we should have "Scratch, plan and SPADs" in one bucket, and "Kit, ARF and RTF" in another ?  So we have 2 boards instead of 3.

Just a question - you have listed a 'kit, plan build' and a 'scratch spad build'. Wouldn't a plan build be a scratch build as well?

Could we have a entry under multiple tags? Suppose one is writing a review of a Edge540 from xxx, it could be under 'ARF/RTF' as well as under 'Review'

We don't have the concept of "tags" at all Sad  You are right, there are many things that may fall into multiple buckets, but the best we can do right now is to list those keywords in the topic heading/name itself !

Well going for that definition of scratch build, I am not sure how many of us are actually attempting a pure 'scratch' build. So it would be interesting to see how many posts it actually attracts. Smiley

I am sure there are some from time to time... the backpack-able glider would be a recent example.

So it looks like the proposed break up would be pretty much OK.  I am going to add new boards soon, and we will them move on to the massive task of reclassifying the existing stuff (with the help of the moderators Wink ).

hi guys.
that sounds great...........
so it would be .............
build from plans
build from kit... [ARF...RTF]
scratch build........... self design [ with a 'type' as a guide ] ie see picture of 'destroyer' and draw your own plans and then build .....from what?....not purchase a ready made hull etc ?..

I am going to implement the board break up as suggested earlier in this thread :

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-india-forum/a-new-board-break-up-for-rc-india/msg57957/#msg57957

Any final comments ? If not I will make this change in the next couple of days. 

PS: We will need help from moderators with free time to help move threads around after the new boards are created Smiley

Jets & Quads, ? (Now that most LHS carry Quads in a separate section, it kinda deserves it)
also while we are at it, could you let some search function for the thread to merge (Presently there is a requirement to go through every page)

Quads would have a separate section, just like now called "Multirotors".

Jets... hmm.  I thought of dumping them along with all the fuel powered planes, may be we will make a separate board for them.
