Hi guys, we went flying Sunday morning on Divar island and had a blast.. There were four of us (although its a small number its still probably about 50% of Goa's flying population so the turnout was massive!  ) and there were 3 planes and 1 heli.. The planes were the Multiplex Easyglider, a depron twin-boom pusher and my Glidiator.. The heli was a Align TRex..

I put in 3 flights on my Glidiator and finally learned how to land it properly.. Mr. John (jonboy20) also did 1 flight on the Glidiator using the buddy box.. After 7 years of lying in the cupboard my buddy cable was put to good use Its a really nice way to learn to fly without putting the plane in danger..

We also maidened the twin-boom pusher and it flew nicely.. But on its second flight it had a crash due to reversed aileron channel (settings had been changed for use in buddy box mode).. 

The Easyglider is simply awesome.. It glides beautifully and just floats around in the air.. With the motor switched off it takes ages to glide down to the ground.. With the motor switched off on the Glidiator I could do only one circle of the ground before I had to give it power and bring it back up but this thing just kept circling.. So many times that I got bored of counting!

The TRex is so cool! This is the first time I've seen a proper heli in real life and I was thoroughly impressed.. Would love to own a heli someday..

Here are some pics of the day.. Clicked on my cellphone and resized for easy viewing.. Enjoy!

More pics..

In the first pic there are 2 batteries being charged, one from the car battery and the other from a sealed lead acid battery in the white plastic bag on the floor I know this is a stupid thing to get excited over but its my first time field charging

hey looks like a nice field keep going

Your field looks very "inviting"   Like the ones we see abroad !!!

Great................                                    

I am joining u guys in December.

Awesome !! Wish I knew of this when I visited Goa, would have loved to join you guys !! By the way I fly helis too, and will make sure when I visit next, I carry my Raptor & little electric 450 too !!

Hey guys, the RC scene in Goa was dead for the last few years.. Mainly because flyers were bored of flying alone.. But now were trying to revive it.. Hopefully we will have more flyers next time.. 

Anwar, RC akumar and anybody else are all welcome to fly with us anytime.. Just send me a PM before you come

dude!! nice man! your glidator looks good too..hey who is John ?
Is he the same person you spoke to me about from Curtorim??
I am all set to join you fellas in December, but will not be getting the CH 53 this time as I already have the predator and the Mustang and my baggage seems to be huge..I may also get a F-16 along..
How is Prateek and what about his build? have you guys finished working on it??
Maan!! gotta ask so many questions, I was so busy all these weeks..

  btw!! where are you in the pics??

Unfortunately i'm behind the camera in all the pics.. Mr. John is from Mumbai (straw hat).. The twin boom pusher is his.. Mr. Peter is the guy from Curtorim who I told you about (red cap) and the guy with the brown cap is Mr. Noel.. He's the one with the Easyglider and TRex..

Hey, just saw the pic of ur CH53.. Man it looks awesome! Wish u were bringing it here.. but then we have the Mustang and the Predator (and hopefully the F16) so its gonna be fun anyway

Awesome guys cant wait to meet you guys next time when i am in goa again

cheers
Happy flying

Hi John.. The page is not loading fully.. Is that your website? You should start repairing radios also..

Hi Doc here is the rest of the video unedited except clipped of blank sky ,hope it loads this time and can be watched....guess it may take some time buffering the video.
  Well Here is a little video to show what we 4 guys did on Sunday At Dewar Islands in Goa .
Doctor Aneesh with his wonderful Foam wing -Coroplast Fuse,His Glidiator.......Sorry ,this video did not show the aerobatics he did with his Glidiator------Ohhhh If I had the camcorder in my hand!!!
 Then Noel did a great superb Job hovering his chopper....Noel flew the Multiplex Easy star Glider,not in Video!!
And then my foam plane twin boom pusher......Will she fly....No spar in the wing!!! The wing could fold over under pressure in mid air....But any how the Pusher pushed itself in the sky above at Dewar Islands with Peter doing a nice job with the sticks and if I am not mistaken less than Half or half throttle.....

I would love to come and fly again at Dewar Islands in Goa!!!

Hey Great to see Peter back in action !!
Attaching some more pics of the Divar field - It is a great place to fly !

Hello sir, it's really nice to see those pics. I bet you all must have enjoyed tons. May i know little bit more about the glider there in last pic 0915 the one painted blue-red-yellow wing?

Don't know much about it except the wingspan is 2 m and belongs to Harry Pickles standin in the pic

Its the Ripmax Nebula (made in China) which isnt made anymore.  I have two of them, one in Goa and one in UK.  Its a really good thermaller in India.  If you see one anywhere advertised, even if it has a different name, then buy it and you wont be dissapointed.   Thats my ugly mug in the photo.....Cheers. Harry.

Just a bit more - A lad called Jan came to one flying session.  He lives on the island and has a really nice guest house ( with swimming pool and bar !!!!) in an idyllic location and expressed an interest in becoming a model flyer.   We had to go back to his place to explain what was involved of course and he was very free with his Kingfishers and snacks.  Must encourage this sort of person into the Hobby !!!

A Good flying day on Sunday 11th March.  Light winds from 5pm and perfect conditions.   Ernest came to see us from Panjim and impressed us all with his big Nitro Buggy - expressed a great interest in aircraft and another convert is on the cards.     Sanjeev flew his EDF Sabre and had a slight contre-temps with the ground but it will live to fly another day, young Bushu flew his Piper Cub with great skill and aplomb - us oldies are really envious of this young lads skill on the sticks.    Noel and I flew our usual reliable models without any incident of note and bored everybody witless and Sheila managed to take a photo of all of us without chopping our heads off!
Around 5.45pm an enormous thermal developed over the roadway and my soarer got so high I could hardly see it - got to get some new specs.
Thats about all - Good Day, Good Company - what more do you need.
Fliers, visitors and even gongoozlers welcome each Sunday - aim to catch the 4.30pm ferry from Ribandar.

Wow Harry,
Sounds like a great day !
Even Sanjeev actually crossed the river to go flying .....
