RC India

Hello to all,
I was thinking when I get my elecs where should I fly.
I contacted RC4all and the y told that the kovalam flying field is shut as of some reasons. I also asked about sholavaram they told I'll have to travel 3hrs. just to fly for 10mins.
I contacted Chan from RotorSport about the RCPA field they told it's functioning but only on sundays I asked for a google maps link they didn't reply after that.

So I was thinking where could one fly their planes except Sholavaram Flying field.

Does anyone know the route to RCPA field from Eldams road Please post.

Feeling angry why nitro so costly.

I was thinking to fly at Gopalapuram ground near sathyam https://www.google.co.in/maps/preview#!q=Gopalapuram+Play+ground&data=!1m4!1m3!1d1186!2d80.2577164!3d13.051853!2m1!1e3!4m51!2m11!1m10!1s0x3a526638df312b33%3A0xd90eed4999a69178!3m8!1m3!1d432!2d80.2577164!3d13.051853!3m2!1i1366!2i642!4f35!5m38!1m37!1sgopalapuram+ground!4m8!1m3!1d207956!2d80.2069211!3d13.0340798!3m2!1i1366!2i642!

But cricketers so I asked all my friends who visit there regularly about it they told it is empty from 2 to 4 but very windy.

I know a nice place near medavakkam on Mambakkam road...I have flown there a couple of times great place no distractions.

you can go to omr road
lots of empty beaches and barren land ahead big enough to fly even planes
the biggest one i have seen is in kelambakkam near whispering villas almost 3kms of empty land!!!!!!!!!!!
but its too far away if you stay in city 1.5 hr drive....

OMR Very far and many tolls are there on the way It should be windy I guess because of sea very close to it.
BTW When did you come to Chennai

nope not so windy the place i am telliing you is almost 6km away from beach empty plots are their
you will have to pay only one toll if you are coming from marina beach
its worth it stayed der for one year for studying

but for flying for 10mins. I have to travel an hour or more.
If you can send me a google maps link it would be great

if you are going their woth multiple planes and copters or in a big group its worth it ......

just search this in google
12.804802,80.202931
and look at it in satellite view

I am going with only one plane and am going to learn to fly

well then best place to go
their will be no one
empty plots
and the small lake that you see in maps is dried out
and their is short grass so no need to worry of crashes
no tress also
i guess you wont find such huge place anywr else
i would advice you to buy a lipo charger which works with car battery
so you can charge on field........
the higher amps the faster you will be able to charge

One more thing when i contacted muav they told they found a new place to fly somewhere near kovalam iwould like to hear from muav about this.

@maveric

Now medavakkam and other areas are occupied by IT buildings.

Hi moorthy, where to you reside.
 there are lot of good places near medavakkam good for electric planes.
i live around 5kn from medavakkam.
@maveric can you please send me the google location, i think we are referring to the same place.
its just 3km from my home.

Am in Madipakkam.The problem is empty area occupied by guys playing cricket in weekend.same way i don't want any accident to happen.

This is the place where i fly..
https://maps.google.co.in/?ll=12.876823,80.169876&spn=0.00775,0.011362&t=h&z=17

a big playing ground, ofcourse people play cricket over there too, but it big enough not to distrub anyone.
Ashok.P

I was considering Iskcon can anyone give more details about it.
what about akarai

Hi Maverick, Moorthy
I got Struck with an Exam until Feb 9th.
will be regular at this location after that exam on every sundays.
https://maps.google.co.in/?ll=12.876823,80.169876&spn=0.00775,0.011362&t=h&z=17 (https://maps.google.co.in/?ll=12.876823,80.169876&spn=0.00775,0.011362&t=h&z=17)
its just 5KM from medavakkam.
This place is awesome for Electrics and good for your Skysurfer.
Me flies a Sky Easy foamie.
can we meet by 16th Feb on this location here..
Mine is 7639856885.
A video of this flying field.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DHvupIOU1M#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DHvupIOU1M#ws)
There is one more place around 30KM from this location, a dried lake good for take off. ill be flying my Jupiter on this shortly.

Ashok.P

Ashok

sure we will meet on 16th feb before will call you.

I am not able to visit the link sir could you fix the link

No fixing the Link, it works just fine..

Ashok.P

This is what it shows

This is what it shows,
Please check the so called internet connectivity in you SYS.
or if you are logging from your Mobile...

I am not logging from mobile and my net is good

Update I tried just now and it is working.
But the place is 23.5km from my place   :'( :'( :'(

I heard that kamaraj74 from our forum has opened a flying field at vanadalur

@nitesh
Were you reside in chennai ?

Eldams road, Alwarpet

Its very far from your reside.Look for near by area.

Reason

 For minutes or hour flying travelling long is vain.

As beginner if you crash then whole day vain.

myself,ashok and hope maveric reside near by so its easy job.From my home 6km i use to fly in medavakkem.

Near my school there is a huge ground but cricketers

Actually , when well equipped with snacks and water you can go long distance with 2-3 planes and 6-7 batteries to fly for whole day. but you will eventually get tired and Dizzy, so for flying an hour or two, a drive of 20-30 mins is worth in my opinion.
This place suits me good and i charge my batteries from my car's Cigarette lighter output and fly for 2-3 hours continuous.

 :giggle: :giggle: :thumbsup:

Hi all,
I will be flying in this location on Sunday from 7AM

Johnny,

I cannot say about the performance of this plane, But i can say its crash proof(Not virtually but really)
I have a 6x and 7x props that you can try. they are rock solid strong and good in performance.
Make sure to paint it with some marker of good colors like red and green to make it visible for this size.
Good luck.

Vasanth

Hai guys,

     My name is janarthanan, i would like to join you guys in rc flying. I usually fly in velacherry railway ground. I stay in velacherry. Kindly let me know when you guys go for flying.

Hi janarthan..
Mostly we fly on Sunday morning .. 'll let you know or we can come down to velachery railway ground as it will be near to few of us.. this weekend I am not in town.. you can check with v2eagle and moorthy whether they are flying this weekend or not..

Velachery railway ground is crowded most of time and might put the whole hobby in trouble on the slightest mishap,
also think about the railway lines and the sparks generated could cause lot of glitches, also i worry about the cops.
find some suitable open ground(I know I know its hard to find any near velachery :banghead: :banghead:) or you can come to this ground where we fly. i can assure you that it will be fun here when we fly together.

Ive got no planes to fly this weekend, got into few commitments and locked up for now. will be regular from next weekend, over to moorthy for now.

Ashok.P

Then 6th April we are flying.!!!!

Johnny, Glad you are online man,

Flying is interesting when the group gets bigger. seems like Vijay-another RCer might join going forward.
>Sunday was really fun though we had just 2 hours of flying.
>Biriani flyer-my newly made corroplane in one hour . corroplast obtained from signboard of some newly opened biriani shop!! and hence the name stuck.
>Jana is an awesome pilot. i could see it from the condition of his planes, no scratch on any models. Johnny getting way too better with his plane. actually its and eye catcher in the field.
>Moorthy sir, not seeing you or getting calls from you now. hope you are doing well and would like to see you soon in the field.

Ashok.P

Ashok

will join this Sunday.

This is my first time flying in a group. I really enjoyed the day. All these days i was flying alone. Thank you jonny, ashok n bro, arjun n frnds for the wonderful day. Hope this gets better and bigger.

Friends i have started a group in facebook. Please join this group so that we can share more photos, videos, ideas and much more.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/244720809055942/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/244720809055942/)

Hello guys! Yeah as Ashok said, i would soon like to join with you guys! Now I'm getting even more excited as to when HK would deliver my last parts of the quad. I hope that I'd be the only one with a quad in our group (I'm in right?). I'm getting really impatient to hold my very first tx! I guess I would cry with joy the moment I open the package. Anyway even if the rc isnt ready by your next flying session (Which I highly doubt), I think of coming to the ground just to see you guys fly! Hope it would be very much enjoyable :)

Hai vijai, I will accompany you. I too got a quad will fly it nxt week probably. ;D

Hey where to you people buy choro plaast in chennai

Nope Vijay,
Ive already built/flown/crashed a Tricopter!!! now going for another Tricopter with FPV. learnt a lot of things from previous one.
Everyone is always welcome in the group.

@Shyam, i took corroplast from signboards, but you can buy a 6x4feet sheet 5mm for just 400rs from parrys corner.
Im planning to buy some for my next plane, would be glad if we could combine and buy them as no one would need a full size 6x4 sheet in one shot.(ive already bought one full sheet 5mm around june last year and made around 4 planes out of which 2 were successful and used up the last piece for my biriani flyer.)
Seems arjun would also be interested.

Ashok.P

Oops,

I forget something, Welcome to the group Shyam.

Ashok.P

Hey v2 Eagle..
    I have no plans of buying choro for a month since I am buy with other works.
    You go ahead and All the Best for your building work.

Can you let me know where the show is in parrys

(like shop name , street name or some land mark)

Great!!! Not lots of companions to fly quad :D
Finally a competition on free fall xD

This shop has Corro,
Almost all the shops in this street has corroplast. and in different colors.

Ashok.P

anyone coming tomorrow I may come

Me! Just that I dont know the exact place so need some one to guide/accompany me :(
Waiting for Ashok's message.

may be i will. vijai see the older  posts you will know the location its medavakkam to mambakkam road. jonny is coming too...

Yeah... coming along with johny. He's just 2 street parallel to mine ;)

Then johnny will help you with the location. im coming tomorrow...

Ashok.
Please try to be there before 6am.
tomorrow cricket ground or lake ??

ashok do yu hav a direct drive 10x4.5 or10x5 prop? i need it

I will be there directly from my office. if everyone agrees, we can try this ground for one time to see if this really suits.

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/12.8684089,80.1802677/12.8075908,80.1526002/@12.8636674,80.1860723,2911m/data= (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/12.8684089,80.1802677/12.8075908,80.1526002/@12.8636674,80.1860723,2911m/data=)!3m1!1e3!4m3!4m2!1m0!1m0
we can drive the car directly into the ground instead of parking in the road. also there wont be any public disturbance as people hardly come there and the ground is flat as cricket ground. with no grass and lot of open space. you could see the size from the map itself.!!!

you mean the orange one that you have? Sorry, i dont.

Ashok.P

Ashok.

how far it is from our current ground ??

7Km a little longer. lets see if every one agrees, or lets stick to the lake.

Ashok.P

yah .. it will be too long for me.

Lake is good..

Will anyone be flying multirotor tomorrow..

Seems Jana Does.

Am on the way to chennai from rameswaram ill reach chennai at 6am . firstly coming for flying is a doubt and secondry i have problem with my quad motors so flying quad tmrw is a doubt. Ashok pls bring your fast charger bcaus i hav not charged few of my batteries i have to charge it in the field only.

Mine has XT60 connectors only. will bring a 12-220v mini invertor if you can bring any charger on your own.

Ashok.P

ashok flying video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsdM4Wvui98 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsdM4Wvui98)

I called aeroworks they told me to go to sholavaram as it is just one hour from my house (between 25 to 30km) so should I go there.

Yes

Hi Guys.

I am flying this Sunday sharp @ 6am.

Same ground.

Me too. maybe a little earlier.
See you guys

Ashok.P

sure.. 5.30am !!

today was quite interesting.malays nutball was awesome, jana corro f22 is just great, flies like rtf model. Its the real fun with diy models which cannot be gained by rtf flying.

Yeah... Was the best the day so far... Fixed most of my royal biryani piper issues. More need to correct the motor mount and the dihedral.

seems you guys had some real fun.
If I didn't had exams tomorrow I would have surely come to your field or sholavaram.

What all planes you have nitesh? Scratch or rtf?

Just one model waiting for the maiden :giggle: :giggle:.

forgot to mention. Malays plane flew away and landed some 300m in a place with tall trees. Luckily we found it after some 20min search.

Yeh.. MS 370 was missing for some time..  :giggle:

Do anyone in your group has an rcb6i if yes can you be my instructor. I have the cable.

@Rcnithesh Ashok and arjun has RCB6i. Tommorrow we are planning to fly so  interested people can join us.

@jana.f22 @ v2eagle

let me know if you guys are flying this weekend !!

@Maveric may join us this weekend.

Im flying, Hope jana and Vijay will fly for sure..
any new models for this weekend johnny?
Nitesh, if you know how to connect a buddy box with rcb6i, yes we can fly together. make sure you are available this sunday.

Ashok.P

Ok.. one of my friend with his nephew will come to the ground.

@Ashok. i ll give your number to him. He will call you.


 

SO,,,Who is up for Sunday flight?
Malay,Vijay no excuses.
Seems like Jana brings some glow plane flyer with him this week.

Ashok.P

I am ready with my planes.
if you guys are going to fly glow then that means you will go that village, it will be very late for me for coming back.

@johnny @ ashok Any way we cant fly in that cricket gound it is completely occupiued by cricketers on all side so we have to move to someother ground.

No excuses. Done. I still can't find on how to make the motor mount. Else my ripper fuse is ready. Have to just place the motor mount and paste the to parts of fuse together.
Jana, can u bring your sky surfer for the time being? Waiting for your gasser in action.

3 options:
 1.Sholavaram=good place to fly and land, too windy too long from us.
 2.That old lake that we went, windy but no disturbance , hope it dont rains. else our cars will get stuck.
 3.else, there is a ground covered with grass on the way to lake, jana and me knew the ground. what says?
Cricket ground is no more an option.

Ashok.P

Anywhere is fine for me. Will bring you flight sim Ashok.
Hey forgot to say you that, I have bought the Asus lappy I said you. Fk delivered it the next day ^_^

i am coming with this two birds tomorrow  ;D

Found something peculiar this sunday.
Maverick is flying in the same ground for more than 1year where we fly. but in evenings.
and we never came to know that. Hope there are more people in chennai who fly nearby!!!

Ashok.P

12.906271, 80.175539
near vengaivasal. on medavakkam - mambakkam road, behind kaaleswari refinery

Option 1 is autorejected, option2, is there a good road to reach this place. I think this belongs to kaleesuari.

option 1 s closer to my place. :P there are many such pocket spaces along velacheri tambaram road.

why is option 1 rejected.

@rcrnitesh, its very closer to IAF(indian air force), Tambaram station.

I Like this Idea of giving Longitude. Latitude address - just like real pilots !!

thanks sooraj

ok there is this one place. closer to my work site. it has tar road, with loads of open spaces . no trees just some short bushes. pretty good for takeoff and landing. its actually a layout. closer to engineering college.

its about 25km from tambaram railway station.
12.866006, 79.972953 .

Hai vijaysagart

      You can go to sholavarm airfield, people fly there every sunday morning 7.30am.

thanks Jana.f22. You sure have a big squadron out there!!!

Hi Guys

I want a suitable place to fly my Quads and Hex. I plan to fly almost everyday for the next 2 months. I live in Nungambakkam.
Will fly in mornings (Hopefully won't rain).
Close locations are preferable.

I know of a place opposite crocodile park, but it's quite far.
Any other places?

Chennai flyers can join this group its in mambakkam. We fly planes,helis,quads every sunday.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/244720809055942/

Mambakam is quite far (more than 45 kms from city)
Any place closer?

What about the lake bed, opposite croc park?

Any other places? After the recent rains how will the ground be?

you cant fly quad inside the city ??? obviously it should be out of city and croc park is far compared to mambakkam.

India has been ruined by these ignorant & corrupt babus who devise 'laws' to sell licenses & extort money.

No wonder China exports 1000 drones a day!

These jokers will
a) Neither buy nor let u export
b) Not let you fly
Yet they will say Make in India. What a bunch of fools!

Can anyone pls advise whether sholavaram old aerodrome is still being used for RC flying. Thanks.

It is no more available for flying

what happened to sholavaram spot?

Its been closed for some reasons, our club members are trying to get the permission to fly again will update here once its active

Thanks Jana. Is there any other place in chennai where people are flying currently... and details related to it..kindly let me know.

We do flying in  mambakkam but it's flooded right now. Join our fb page for updates

Kumaran

Kumaran sir.

That is slick 360, scratch build, balsa model by jana.f22

thanks dear

Nice boating  :thumbsup: and Nice Flying!  {:)}

@v2 eagle,
Long time no contact...

Wonderful stuff.
The boat, which looks like a ferry, and runs like a speedboat,
Reminded me of
'Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee'

Then i saw Jana's flight.
Really floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee!

Saw your lake and airfield.
Makes me suspect that you guys are in UK at places where Dominicm makes his fabulous videos...
Lovely.

Regards.

Awesome videos guys. Feeling jealous of you guys.

@Ashok really nice flying field, where is it?
I was planning to visit you guys with my plane in a bag.

@Iyer sir, yes its been almost a year. Sold my radio, planes due to sudden change of plans , marriage and a back to school plan. Now all is set and awaiting some free time to build something that I've been planning for long time. Jana us a fantastic flyer with awesome skills, I witnessed the same firsthand. The boat is out of water for almost a year and still runs great. In all, a happy flying day after a long time.
@nitesh, we are ready to grab you to the field whenever you want.

Mambakkam field is flooded now with lake water after the cyclone. For the time being we are flying in Sembakkam. Contact  v2eagle for the gps link.

within city limits, you cannot fly any UAV without permission from police... I guess permission is not necessary if you're flying in nonresidential areas of suburbs... there are lot of such places... If you don't hesitate to travel, you'll find many places fit for flying
Examples mambakkam, kelambakkam, kovalam, mudichur lake, puzhal lake, outer ring road phase 2 & many villages near theses areas are fit for flying

hi
Sholavaram site is used now?

Can u pls tell me the exact location.I am a student of vit chennai (kelambakkam vandalur road).We are in urgent of testing our plane pls contact me@7791862643 and tell me the exact location

You can try near Arudpadai Veedu Institute of Technology, Paiyanur, Old Mahabalipuram Road.

Alternatively you can try in cricket ground near ECR kovalam. Also, there is lots of open space near Thiruvidanthai (ECR).

Prior to flying, get permission from Local police station as safety measure.

May I know what type of airplane you are testing? Is it SPAD, or ? Size? Electric or Glow?

Regards,
Samayaraj

Hi,
Would like to know where is a safe and happening place to learn this. I did start on trainer (but did not complete it, with hardly couple of solo landings) in 2006 in Gurgaon, and when moved to chennai, had a few friend who helped me at Sholavaram. Then had to shelve it due to commitments and other events in life. Would like to re-start again from Trainers.

Is this place flyable now at
2021

Still flying is allowed in sholavaram?
