Title: My 2nd flight..
Post by: medicineman1987 on October 16, 2010, 03:33:12 AM
Hey everyone.. Went flying this week with the Glidiator (http://www.rcindia.org/self-designed-diy-and-college-projects/glidiator-my-first-trainer-build-log/).. The plane was flying so nicely that I felt confident enough to do a few loops and some other stuff.. And this is my 2nd flight ever  ;D

Here's the video..

In the video are Mr.Anagh (hand launch), my beloved 2000 model Alto VX 1.1 (wearing blue)  :) and Me (the guy with the remote)
Not in the video is Mr.Sharvil (as he's shooting the video)

What do you guys think?

WOW !!!Awesome!!!!! {:)} {:)} {:)}what more can I say.....Anything.....But for me to do those stunts on my second flight ...forget that or even on the 7th flight even with a stable plane would not be possible for me at all!!!
  Way to go Doctor....Keep Flying high!!!! {:)} {:)}

Great flyng for a 2 flight Doc. Keep it up.  {:)} {:)} Doing all that u have done took me a long time and at least 20 odd flights. U are a natural. Best wishes always.

A couple of pointers that I learnt from my instructor
Keep the plane always in front of you. Don't fly in circles and u turning around in circles.
Practice both left and right hand circuits.
Straight and level flying is paramount.
Keep the children far away from your flying area.
Keep ur car also away from ur flying area.
And finally
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.
Hope you have many many happy flying hours with "Glidiator"
Best wishes
Doc

Thanks guys.. :)

@flying doc: I'll keep all those things in mind when I go flying next.. I'm so glad I found this forum and all of you guys as I don't have anyone to teach me all these things..

@saurabhhsrivastavaa: It was a last minute thing so by the time I picked up my friends and reached the field it was a bit late.. It was quite bright though.. The camera makes it look much darker than it really is..

I love this video! It's like a movie - it has suspense, drama, excitement, aggression (courtesy the inquisitive crow!) and a happy landing / ending....... mostly I love the crowd of young admirers, on their bicycles. The entire set up is magical!

Memorable lines:

"The crow has landed"
"I constantly keep giving it down to stay in place" - Honesty  {:)}
"Cobra!"
"We'll run!" ;D

I laughed and enjoyed myself thoroughly and I felt I was there with you guys!

Well done Doc, what a beautiful aircraft! You should start a production line and sell them. I'm dead serious.

This is one of my FAVOURITE RC videos.

God bless!

Nice Flight, Good Adjustment.
Fine tuned Hand for control.
Good viewers too.

Nicely videoed. Only thing is that when the plane in grass/Dark background, the Sky, i. e. Higher Light area, should be avoided so that the avarage illumination reduce and the aperture adjust to light and picture does not dark.

Keep experiment during dawn. While, the appx half area is sky, then field gets black and sky color and picture taken good and when the field is more than half in screen, you check that the field details is clear but the sky is completely white.

This has been used during the landing. So, Good Picturisation.

Thanks  for awarding the forum with the video.

Thanks

Thank you so much VC sir  :) Initially I thought of replacing the audio with some music but then I thought it would be fun to leave the chatter in  ;D

And how did you miss "UP is UP... DOWN is DOWN" ??  :giggle:

All my friends are really supportive of my hobby so we go flying together.. There's never a dull moment when they are around..

I'm painting the Glidiator right now.. Will put up pics as soon as i'm done..

I'm so glad you liked the video.. Will upload more soon..  :) Goodnight
