Some heli flying.

Thanks sandy and anwar bhai, for taking the pain, i am not a heli guy but off-late due obvious advantages of flying heli, started to enjoy it, honed my hover skills on nine eagles heli , learnt to hover and land on a rubic cube, then mini Titan 325, (anwar bhai has put the pics in my behalf) and raptor 90 and Scaddy,

Ps
Thanks again, both of you  

The accommodation looks beautiful now! Must've been a lot of hard work on the part of Varsha Ma'm.

added some more stuff, starting with AR Drone, She is rock steady and flies well, has two cam one below and another in front, beams video back to the iphone, people have achieved 2.5 kms with this i guess,

Gusty sir not fair flying Parrot all alone  we also wanted to see the maiden.  .

She flies like hands off,, maiden was voice controlled,  I put her on hover and had my dinner, she didn't move an inch. After a while, she declared low batt emergency and did a auto landing.

Added YAK-54 (http://www.rcbazaar.com/products/631-yak-54.aspx), Build and Fly Log Follows :-

Sir,
Are you using the same recommended power system?

How much it costs ? all inclusive ? if I may ask ?

What is next to the keyboard ?

I guess, it seems to be Sound Mixer !!!

I just love the way the models have been kept . Gutsy you really know to maintain.
Can you please suggest a best way to keep the models .....
Regards
Rajaram

Yeah Manoj 5055 400 KV motor but a 14 x 8 Prop.

18 K with  two 1300 mah lipos, it is a fun fly.


 Santhosh, that is my Guitar Effects Processor called Boss GT 8 (http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=720). if you are into guitar this is the processor to get (Even GT 10 is out i guess)

Rajaram
Thanks

PS
Yamha 10 Ch mixer is below the keyboard and cant be easily seen i guess

@ Rajaram   Gusty is on a paid vacation in shillong enjoying what he loves doing the best ie flying ,,the pandora box is yet to be opened 3 new  super giant  scale models , 2 turbine jets are in q so are dozens  of edf composite fighters,,  the pics are no were in this post ..oops did i spill too much too soon       

Yes you did  >


Satya Vachan, Any RCI members want to come here and fly most welcome, can arrange a 3000' feet R/W to yourself. with guards and watch dogs looking after your models and guys to handle them and bring them on the field, wipe it clean for you to start up and go. No jokes.

@Augustine:
I wanted to ask this for a long time from people like you… not particularly you, but people for whom work is play and play is work.

Have you ever got inspired by your real life experiences and tried to incorporate enhancements to your RC stuff?

Like modifying the landing gear to allow automatic or assisted touch down? By using some kind of radio proximity sensors at the end of the runway or with cheap optical sensors (more suitable for a heli landing or hovering).

Some kind of AWACS (lol) to let your controller know of any obstacles in the flight path (trees, buildings or may be another flying object!)? Can be done using some cheap lasers.

Incorporating ballistic parachute to bail out?… like when your plane doesn’t have much fuel and it’s already crossed the PNR. Or to save a sensitive equipment (camera) if the plane is crashing down?

People lose their planes quite often. Along with writing down mobile numbers, they can attach a small pinger which can sound a beep to broadcast its location. Or use a small smoke bomb/flare for more dramatics. :)

And many things like that… some were over the top, so I didn’t mention them.

Or you just like to fly the readymade stuff with a few tweaks here and there?

basically , i eat and breathe flying and allied stuff. Not much of a electronics man though, not because i don't have it in me, probably because of time available. lastly i sleep 3 - 3.5 hrs a day. Lot of time at hand i guess

Pretty impressive work! You are a researcher.

Yes, your passion for flying will definitely land you in the record books. Goodluck!

Visiting air fields in the US?: no, I just stay away from them. Those guys are paranoid. The closest I had ever been to real planes was ofcourse, at the commercial airports and the Smithsonian museum. My friend had a bad experience with FBI just because of his love for the planes. And he was not even an RC flyer... lol

thanks

@augustinev You must be fed UPPP! of RC arent you?     
but wait that hangar of urs is really great 

About the AR drone:
 It beams video to iphone using bluetooth or wi-fi? Neither can achieve a range of 2.5km. Or does it use some additional wireless hardware?
