Title: Remote Possibilities RC Track almost ready on ECR chennai Post by: mail4ajo on July 24, 2009, 11:18:07 PM Remote Possibilities RC Track is almost ready within Silver Sands resort on ECR, Chennai. Onroad track is ready and offroad track is the completion stage. Onroad should take upto 1/10 scale and offroad upto 1/8 scale (maybe 1/5 scale too).
Will check it out and post some pics soon. They are planning some membership schemes. Owner is a good friend and his father is a veteran aeromodeller. Another offroad track, helipad and runway is coming up shortly. Will give details when ready.

Title: Re: Remote Possibilities RC Track almost ready on ECR chennai Post by: mail4ajo on July 27, 2009, 11:04:08 AM The track will be fully ready by this weekend as per owner. I am planning to head out either on Saturday or Sunday. Will need to give owner at least an hour's notice. His offroad vehicles are down for service. Onroad cars available for rent. Let me know if anyone wants to join.
I will either get my buggy or the truggy. Title: Re: Remote Possibilities RC Track almost ready on ECR chennai Post by: mpsaju on July 27, 2009, 02:17:01 PM Hi mail4ajo
Is it possible that a few of us die-hard aeromodellers will also be entertained by allowing us to fly there ? What is the arrangement ? and can we talk about this ?? Saju Title: Re: Remote Possibilities RC Track almost ready on ECR chennai Post by: rcforall on July 27, 2009, 03:10:39 PM Saju ,
If flying was possible there Mr Kamalakaran himself would be flying there . Further the resort is on the Sea Side of ECR hence direct sea breeze( wind ) will be a problem and with a few of us flying there water proofing the entire aircraft and crash proofing the rest of the resort might be essential ;) ;D Sai Title: Re: Remote Possibilities RC Track almost ready on ECR chennai Post by: mail4ajo on July 27, 2009, 07:18:31 PM Sai is right. Certainly not the place to fly. But your prayers will be answered shortly with a never seen before in India total RC facility a bit away from Chennai. A private RC village. ;D
Stay tuned. Title: Re: Remote Possibilities RC Track almost ready on ECR chennai (pics uploaded) Post by: mail4ajo on August 02, 2009, 04:15:57 PM Hit the track this week. It is not fully ready yet, should be done by next week. Its basic and pure beginners track. Obstacles are being made and the top soil needs to be laid as well. I didnt care, went ahead and had a blast.
So we finally have Chennai's first RC track. Thanks to Shiva for this. Let the pics (smaller size attached) speak for themselves. Title: Re: Remote Possibilities RC Track almost ready on ECR chennai Post by: mail4ajo on August 02, 2009, 04:20:48 PM Some more images:

This is a deserted old time beach resort. So no issues.
