Hi guys! This is Chris and I've joined RC India recently. An Air Force pilot by profession. Flown fighters and trainers in the IAF. Thanks to Augustine V, Sundaramvelar and VC, who have motivated me to join you guys. Hope to participate actively and do some interesting flying. Hope to interact with as many people as possible. Take care. Happy landings.

Hi folks, Augustinev, Sundaramvelar and I are starting a hobby club in the hills of Meghalaya, the Scotland of East - Shillong. Will post the pics/videos once we start the show. Wish us luck!

Welcome to the forum sir, at banglore you have a lot of Aeromodellors to meet and couple of good LHS to shop from. read the gem threads. Link here (http://www.rcindia.org/rc-india-forum/the-rc-india-gems/) though it is right on top of this page. List of LHS, is one you should look at. pariticpate in your favourite subject Aerodynamics (I remember, how in simple terms you taught me some of the concepts 20+ yrs ago). Glad to have you onboard.

Welcome aboard Group Capt. Sir! It is a pleasure to have you here with us.

Welcome to Bangalore RC Airspace and to RcIndia.

Looking forward to meet up and interact with u soon..

Hi Jatayu, Looking forward to meeting u too. Wont be long before that happens.

Chris sir first flight was good. had to recover the airplane from a tree though. Will figure out how to post a pic from my iphone4. Sandy was the instructor. Chris sir on the buddy box. Batt gave up in a loop recovery over a large pine trees. Fun part was the recovery.

Good Show by Groupie Sir, I would say! As they said in WW 2 "Any landing that you can walk away from, is a good landing!"

Sir..i am only a begginer..and not an expert...but too happy to being under the wings of many extraordinary personalities in our forum....happy....

Hi VC, thanks for ur encouraging comments I did feel like a novice. Hope to graduate under Augustine
Love to the family
regards,
chris

Hi Roopesh, thanks for ur comments we are all ordinary people. it is the things we do that may be extraordinary. hope to interact with u someday somewhere
Regards,
Chris

Sir,
Like I did under your wings. Trainer system ( wireless) has been ordered. AFPD is with u, when you come back from Banglore you go solo. May be early solo? Like you did to me, on our jet provost,( Kiran). I remember , my first solo , alone in a jet aircraft, with you not beside me, it was scary and a happy moment, RC solo couldn't be compared to that, but a close second,

hi gusty,
one cant express how it feels to be alone in a cockpit for the first time. i too remember how it was on the HT-2
hope to go solo when i return from banglore
love
chris

The above two posts are amazing, when you think of the experiences and memories attached to them.....................

TIME TO SING NOW HA HA

Thanks for the kind words Sir...i got some great personalities from RC India...and too happy to be with you all..with great hope...

Chris sir, Gusty and me had a great time last week. we had a long flying session for about three hours. After a long time I got an opportunity to drain out my complete set of 16 Nos 1800-2600 mah.   

The Mig-39 Which perched on the tall pine tree top and refused to come down last to last week also flew. Only the Nose this time was with a different color scheme (You know why  ).

We test few the shikra glider also. Gusty was wind soaring with it and inspite of flying with a 1300 mah 3S for more than half an hour, he could not drain the 1300 mah and it flew only a single 1300 mah and remaining five are reserved for the next week now.

Gusty and me tried some pattern flying and flying in formation with both Mig-39 and Su-37.

We missed you very much sir. Hope to catch up with you following weeks.

We did some 1 vs 1 too, with sandy towing , me putting in attack incl Pughachevs cobra. We had some 500 spectators, some of  them later told me that they we quite moved seeing low level combat. Chris sir, if I had succeded in contacting you, you would have enjoyed it.

Shikra maiden was good. Glide ratio is less due prop drag. 1300 mah batt however lasted 30 min with some more juice in it.

Next week we will be doingl formation low level aeros, with sandy towing and me formatting on him: I wish you were here.

Chris Sir that's our Mig-39 on top of the tall pine tree.

Recovered the Photo from Gusty's FB

Great Job done by the local guy who climbed the ladder and then on the tree till the top like an Ace Acrobat within mins and picked the Mig with his hands and released it down.

GOD....

That's why I always insist to have a EJECT button programmed just in case !!! 

Hahaha good One, I almost did in real life thrice

  wish never have to hit eject anytime.  

Wish you safe landing always.

"Great Job done by the local guy who climbed the ladder and then on the tree till the top like an Ace Acrobat within mins and picked the MiG with his hands and released it down."

Yeah Great Job done! He released the MiG nose down which plummeted down to earth vertically and suffered extensive damage. Spare a thought for Sandy, it was his Baby and he had painstakingly built it from scratch.

Sandy, I hope she flies again..................

VC That time I was only worried about Futaba 7channel Rx and rest electronics.

you should have seen the way he climbed the ladder and tree top. I was just happy that he got down my  10000 worth electronics. 

yeah we have been flying the same Mig-39. Last two sundays. 

Fly it again next Sunday and then I will believe you!!!

you know the rate at which me and Gusty are flying and crashing. there won't be any plane left for me and gusty to fly till this Sunday. We were banking on your Mig       

I am sure it should be accompanying you     

  Go take flying hike! My MiG stays back in my living room............Thanks for warning me

How sad such a beautiful Tarmac with lovely scenic beauty and surroundings and no Mig taking off. 

 > Common VC be a sport man.  >  

I will think about it, but you and Gusty will have to sign a bond that you will get her back to terra firma safely. I don't trust you blokes at all!

Good heavens! Seen the time? I am supposed to be driving out at 6 am today.

Good night!

Hah, At 12.17, VC told for 6 am driving and gone to BED.

In Kolkata, after a long Power cut, we boared, BudgeBudge 1 Unit Down, Kashbe-Jirat feeder just recovered, DPL Power generation in worst condition, (Yesterday, station gone down), and lastly power demand gone down at night and I can see RCIndia. Yea, we all have work at morning.

And in TV, Kolkata Airport got fire, and Orisha Radar damaged seen and So ATC in trouble.

Haaah, why I am out of sleep? Need a bath perhaps.

Good recovery from pine tree. From a branch of that tree, VC can make a heap of gliders.

VC you are lucky.

That aeroplane perched on the tree flew many sorties after that, damage wasn't extensive, in anycase scratch built costs less than 50 rs airframe alone, we did some real extreme flying. Low level air combat, blind flying in clouds,

Ha Ha! ! ! great picture and an even greater recovery I've heard of fighters flying so low that they bring back branches and leaves. This Mig-29 just decided to land on a tree instead Ha Ha!

I have completely moved to Orange FASST Rx for all my foamies. They are cost effective and Full range , unlike cheaper (still costlier than Orange) Pary Flyer Rx from Futaba. I have had near out of visibility flight of my AXN Floater on Orange Rx, still in solid contact with the Tx.


Christopher sir, do visit Hoskote field on some fine Sunday. You may even attend the morning service and hot the field in the after noon. People fly there till 3 in the evening.

Hi Gusty, Sandy, VC and all the others, I am settling down slowly in bangalore. Its an altogether different world in the civil. Getting used to it. Will take while before I find time to get my hands on an aeroplane. Got to get myself a simulator first. Right now, I'm busy establishing my Security Agency. Registration is done. Have to apply for licence with various other registration certificates from several state govt offices. back breaking effort but i guess its worth it. flying was so much easier- ''Kick the tyre, light the fire'. . . thats all. Music too has taken a back seat. Wish me luck for my second innings and then, I go Dual Checks with someone very soon. Love to the families.

Didnt know Air Cmde Sanjay Sharma was member here And son too. . . wow. Mine is an engr. U guys want your aeroplanes repaired?? ha ha ha

Chris sir,
Good to hear that, your staff missed you during recent midnight oil burning thing that we had, on behalf of you I got them something to eat at night. I am giving dual checks to Cally, all the three AVMs ( Sharma sir is most enthu) and  who lot of officers and children, our kayaking club is under way and so is my exploration dives in all the lakes and water bodies around.
Johny and whole lot if guys around in Bangalore, you will have a good time for sure. If u could message your new number. Callled Ernie , no reply
