BTW..your hanger shows that you live your profession .... it seems you eat, drink and sleep your work.

Very few in this world get a chance to choose a profession which they can live...i am sure you haven't worked of a micro second in your life.....you are just enjoying.......like tendulkar playing....and Amitabh....acting............... :thumbsup:

Hi Augustine,
                   Protocol do not allow me to welcome you, as I am junior to you on this Fora.
That should be called a Hangar, of a real Pilot, and who says only children love toys, even Pilots Love them.

That's really brave, you are not a bachelor I presume. :giggle:

Keep it up

All the Best

You got it so right , i can't believe it in so less words you summed it all up. If there is something i will die for that's my country and my profession i.e Flying (Had so many NDEs in life, though)

Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: rcpilotacro on April 16, 2011, 07:08:04 PM
35 Mhz are all fixed onto the trainer, second one is the buddy box. giant Scale was on 35 moved onto Futaba 2.4 mhz, Spectrum ? my spektrum radio  range was a shade less (On a non range check mode). Low Cost ones are on Turnigy, Hirobo radio is on GWS for son. spectrum Park Flier is good for glider extremely smooth. i may give away the park flier DSM2 radio though. 40 Mhz and Skyartec are going to be gifted soon, to the worthy (Some real keen children here).

thanks guys though didn't look for/expect this response. @santhosh, nothing compared to your hangar. actually, i have come to realize, it is not the hangar, it is the quality of flying that matters, i go everyday religiously 20 mts before sunrise and fly for,  like an hour and then go to office (And fly there too) , like A Singh says, Work is Play and Play is Work. Thank God for that

Nice pics, Gusty, and nice collection. I think the one who dies with most toys goes to heaven!!!
I like the pic of the stick with ATC in background. Must say that the 27's have a realistic camo job, matches well with the grass colours pretty well.
And is that an Ouragan/Toofani mounted on the pdestal? Or is that a Gnat?

Gnat it is, back in the 80s had harrowing time flying and landing it in the simulators, this one never had a trainer for long time, pilots went solo direct without being given any trainer trip. The Sabre Slayer
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: Akshayb on April 17, 2011, 10:07:19 PM
Yes Augustinev, I Love Gnats, The Sabre Slayers, Renamed as Ajeet .

Made by The English as Trainers and they were Used only by IAF as main Combat Craft.

IAF Pilots proved their guts on these planes.

And How can we forget the Legend himself PVC NJS Shakhon.

One was displayed in front of HAL's head quarter in Bangalore, now shifted some where else due to Metro rails construction work.

Post by: flyingboxcar on April 18, 2011, 01:49:49 PM
Thanks Gusty, in that pic it looks very much like the Toofani, buit I guess the wing tips give away the identity.
If I remember right the IAF's Gnat last flew at your present location, and the decommissioning ceremony was in early 90's.

Post by: rcpilotacro on April 19, 2011, 05:43:48 PM
As far as the knick knack carpentry is concerned , i am DIY, giant scale boxes are done, wing bags are done, working on couple of more boxes made out of wood from the banks of Ob, Yenisey or Lena (Really) could be Amur ! who knows. Planer, Jigsaw Cutter, Sander, Nails and Hammer. and of course , Time and i am sorted. I am on the dot as far as PDCs, hopefully will be done before the truck arrives. let me upload some pics this weekend of DIY wing bags and the box.

PS
i had a bad idea last night of putting my giant scale box some wheels and the engine from my Monster truck (Cen MT), so that i can drive the box to the field. Discarded the idea totally, coz the car guys of the forum like Arpit and Rajath will kill me

hi folks,

augustine, nice to see such a great collection of rc planes. but i just wanted to ask you, how do you still maintain interest in RC flying? i mean you fly actual jet fighters... surely that beats everything.

Added Adrenaline 120 to my hangar, Putting ASP 120-4S on it, with Futaba 3003, Hopefully maiden tomorrow. It nearly all composite, exceptionally detailed, pull-pull on rudder, aeroplane. Going to enjoy my freestyle, i want to see its Waterfall, Harrier and Blender (Blender should look good owing to its long fuse)

R.I.P
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: flyingboxcar on May 03, 2011, 02:16:43 PM
Gusty,
In my opinion 120 4T for the 120 would be just enough power. When I spoke to people at YT international in UK who are importers (and most importantly the designers and QC) for ESM in UK, they said that if I was looking for 3D on my 90, I should go with 120 FS.
By that logic, 120 FS on Adrenaline 120 would be on the lower margin of power requirment.
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: rcpilotacro on May 03, 2011, 02:26:20 PM
Got that, in fact i was thinking of a gas engine, then the engine bay is too small for it. i have a OS 120 i think somewhere inhibited and kept, lemme take it out, was reading up too, 120 FS will surely be underpowered. Thanks Kapitaan :thanks: you inspired me to go for Adrenaline, it goes with my signature statement too ;)

Way to go ! . Futaba 3003 might not give you the performance as deserved by this airplane. Use better servos !
Show us some pictures, if you are able to mount a gas engine on this one .
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: rcpilotacro on May 03, 2011, 02:54:28 PM
Which other servos you suggest ?
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: vivek.sharma on May 03, 2011, 03:04:07 PM
Sir,
Good afternoon,  how many servos you have for each control.
Go for at least 6 kg torque for each surface.
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: rcpilotacro on May 03, 2011, 03:09:43 PM
vivek, My Hitec have come or not ? do you have some 635 HB's, also that 26 CC, i'll send a guy by Dorneir
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: gauravag on May 03, 2011, 03:10:38 PM
Futaba 3003 are nice servos, but are entry level, and more suitable for 46 size plane. They lack ball bearings, and the torque/speed would limit the capability of the great airplane you have in your hands.

For the rudder, I would use a 8-10 kg metal gear servo, and for the ailerons and elevator minimum of 5-6 kg, with a speed >= .15

My personal choice would be a Hitec. I have found them to have done their job pretty well, and never had one fail on me.
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: vivek.sharma on May 03, 2011, 03:18:28 PM
Sir,
Hitec radios, will take a couple of months as after ordering it takes 4 months for company to dispatch.

As Gaurav wrote I canoffer you servoslike:
1.  Servo HS 485HB- -6 Kg. Peak Torque & Karbonite Gears

2. HS-5485 HB- 6.4Kg. Peak Torque & Karbonite Gears (BUT THIS IS DIGITAL)

3. HS-645 MG -9.6 Kg Peak Torque & Metal Gears (in this class it is my favourate)
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: gauravag on May 03, 2011, 04:05:10 PM
HS-5485 HB servos are entry level digitals. I hav e 12 of these and they work OK. I would restrict the use of these to 60-90 size planes. For a 120 they will work better than 3003, but if possible, go one step further and take better ones.
645MG is good. though not digital. If budget allows get a digital, else the 645MG would do the trick.
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: saurabhhsrivastavaa on May 03, 2011, 04:17:13 PM
HS-645 will be the ideal choice.

However, HS-635HB will be good value for money with performance. I plan to have 6 of these in my Seagull Extra 260, 120 Size.

Hi Augustine,

Going slow on my FPV. Recently moved to a new place so a lot of unpacking to be done. And if I start with my planes midst of setting up the house, I've had it from her.  :giggle: you know who...  :giggle:

Gusty, does the elevator have a single or dual servo setup? If single, I would whole heartedly recommend HS 645 or if you are in mood to splurge go with HS 5645. If dual servo you could go with lower tourque ratings. On Rudder just go with 645 and something faster for the ailerons or even 645 would do. However do be warned about using heavier servos in the tail, every single gram in there would add to your problems of nose weight, just look at that tail moment arm. 
But I am still concerned on the powerplant, as an OS 120 would be no improvement over the ASP they are more or less in the same class.
Yes petrol would be ideal but then not only is the cowl narrow but even the fuse is tight after you have put in the tank, leaving hardly any space for the electronics associated with petrol engines.
All the best would wait for your flight report   
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: flyingboxcar on May 03, 2011, 07:04:07 PM
Another pet peeve of mine with the Adrenaline 90 is that the elevator servo is placed on port side of the fuse and if you invert mount your engine the exhaust ends up on the port side as well. Result?? Everytime the servo gets enough lubrication to last its lifetime.
Looks like with the 120 the servo is on starboard side. Should solve the servo's oil bath issue (unless it is meant to be one on each side) 
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: flyingboxcar on May 03, 2011, 07:07:52 PM
Another word of advice Gusty. How is the canopy locked in place?
If it is like the 90, a dowel in front and a spring loaded catch in the rear. Be careful on this, as the wodden block holding the catch is meant to be epoxied on to the plastic canopy. Mine seperated in the air (despite all necessary precautions during glueing) never to be found again. Now after I lock down the hatch I also add tape on front and rear for belt and braces safety.

Post by: rcpilotacro on May 03, 2011, 07:21:37 PM
Two Servos , one on each side of the elev. i am thinking of of going with 7955TG for pull pull Rudder (To give room for gyro) rest i am thinking of  Turnigy MG958 Composite Digital Metal Gear Servo, used it on CAP 232 skeptically, knock on wood, till date , it has held on pretty well, problem is CG, it is 65 gram servo and two on the elev, with such a long fuse, I will be in for a big surprise, for a short chord wing CG is a very big issue

PS
Maiden postponed till this servo issue is sorted out 3003 wont do, so they have been removed (If not for this discussion would have flown it with 3003, would have held on , then what if?)
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: gauravag on May 03, 2011, 09:33:05 PM
Gusty,
:) Straight to 7955TG form 3003 :) That servo would be overkill for a 120 size plane, but will be a good investment, as this servo can be easily used for 50CC-100CC class.

I hope you did not buy the 14MZ new... there are many floating around US forums in the $1300 range.

The only gripe I have had owners here say about it is battery duration.  They all got Sony batteries as spares (2 or 3 of them).

One cool feature was when the TX shouted out the name of the model when you switched to it... helped the forgetful folks who used to fly on wrong models every once in a while.

Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: anwar on May 12, 2011, 09:53:58 PM
How many channels do you need extra for this ?  Normally the original Raptor (swash type H-1 in Futaba land) would only need 5 channels, including remote gyro gain.  So you will have 2 extra channels on a 7 channel radio.

Post by: anwar on May 12, 2011, 10:32:31 PM
Y cable on pretty much any channel ? I am not sure exactly which device you are calling the "voltage spy", but if it just needs to read the voltage from 2 of the 3 pins, a Y cable should work.  Using the Y cable also frees up one channel's pins, if it is used exclusively to feed in receiver power.

if you watch closely you will see a lot of flaws in the white bird, canopy was not cleanly cut (Half asleep), canopy was fixed, stuck, realised pilot is still outside (Decided to keep him out for a while, went to gr8 length to get a WW II pilot from RCD). Nose job is not very clean, wanted a profile tailplane, settled for flat, i feel fin area is small, so much for white beauty

Oh no Sir I can see no flaws only smooth curves, fine airfoil, straight lines, shining surface and absolute symmetry in the build. To achieve such finer finish in balsa build (with the visible ribs in the wing airfoil under oracover I presume it is balsa) is nothing but good building skill, patience, In short I can only say commendable.  :salute:

My wings are bolt on, so for long distance display this katana in Nitro & Yak 54 in electrical are the best, takes less space, family don't even get to know there is aeroplane in the boot. i using ASP 70 4S, i love the sound of 4s in a 3d

Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: anwar on May 23, 2011, 08:56:14 PM
Please refer to the below discussion, as "shivering" is quite ambiguous.

http://www.rcindia.org/helis/tail-wag-and-head-speed-trex-500-fbl/

A shiver is different from a wag, and a horizontal axis wag is different from a vertical axis wag.

If you are referring to the couple of wide wags just before take off in that video, then you can try two things :

1.  Increase your gyro gain until the tail starts to wag aggressively with small range of movement (more like shivering), then back down couple of points.

2.  You may have a throttle to pitch curve mismatch.  Essentially, you are trying to take off before there is enough head speed for the tail blades to gain enough speed/authority.  So try either increasing the throttle curve around hover point, or reducing pitch curve, or a combination of both.

for a beginner this may appear Greek and Latin, i am with you fully, yeah that's why so few helis and heli pilots in the field, i think, honestly, it is a a step after your sort of master planes (Fixed wings), the heli. flew the mini titan today, with trnr legs extremely agile and very difficult to fly, gyro adjustments too are very sensitive

Crazy pilot, when I talk about liquid maturity, it pertains to 12 years +,  used/seasoned oak casks and peat, my boy. You, obviously, didn't get the message intended. Not to worry, when you are as old and grizzled as I am, you will. You surely will! ;)

Fresh oak casks are used to mature Bourbon and after 7 years of use, these casks are sent back to Scotland to brew Single malts / blends. I'm not sure if this is appropriate here, But it is GK nevertheless. Moderator Sirs, please feel free to delete / edit.

@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?
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: rcpilotacro on September 16, 2011, 12:44:56 AM
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

Post by: rjshkmr on September 16, 2011, 12:35:25 PM
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

Extremely rare bird. Me 109K-4 of 1./KG(J)6

She belonged to the 1st Staffel of KG(J)6. I identified it by the white seven and the Red and Black Karoband at the aft fuselage. The unit was based at Prague and later at Bohemia (now part of Czechoslovakia) and surrendered on 8th May 1945.

KG (Kampfgeschwader) 6 was originally a Bomber unit. It was hurriedly upgraded to a Bomber / Fighter unit [Hence renamed to KG(J)6 - J for Jagdgeschwader or Fighter Wing] with the inclusion of such aircraft and FW 190's.

About Bubi
Erich Hartmann, the most famous ace in history of aerial combat, had a total of 352 confirmed kills. One of the best known surviving Luftwaffe aces. During the latter half of WWII, his planes were adorned with a "black tulip" (So will be mine, as a tribute to Bubi)

Post by: VC on May 20, 2012, 07:02:04 PM
Interesting story about the Black Tulip art work. It is due to this art work that the Russians nicknamed Hartmann as 'Черный Черт' or Black Devil. His aircraft became the most feared and his opponents stayed away from him. Novices were allocated this aircraft, so that they could fly peacefully! However, as his number of kills dropped due to the Russian pilots avoiding him, Hartmann was forced to remove that artwork from his aircraft, so that he wouldn't be recognised. His score rose dramatically after that.


Here is a replica of his famous aircraft.

Look at the turn of events...This is from Gp Capt Ramesh Tahlan

.. thank u for that pic of SU-7... there... u said it and i put up my log book entry of the Tail No of the beast fighter.. that date of 14 is Jul 1983,,, and it was my very first sortie on that fighter with that tail number.. it was and Air Test Sor... after that date sat in that cockpit many times... those were awesome days.... many thanks to u


1983 was a fantastic year for me as a youngster...I was a small Flt Lt,,, i did a White Instrument Rating Renewal with someone called Ghuman. After the sortie he said what the fuck r u doing with a White Rating.. u r fit for green.. so he annotated on my IR Card "Awarded White Recommended GREEN "cause i actually did not have the hours for a Green Rating.. so in two months as soon as i got my hours to qualify, i automatically became Green Rated without flying again for the Test.... as a youngster there no thrill that to get a comment like that... my year was made.... in the same month i was cleared to lead a 2 aircraft formation into combat...



Yeah  he flew that aeroplane, standing in the square in the pic above

Every time I help someone at my field with their trainers or similar plane and after a trim flight they usually ask, "can you hover it and make it 3D"? :) So do you 3D your trainer? LOL

You have piles and piles of planes. We have some similar tastes when it comes to 3D planes.... the common ones are the PA planes. :)

Favorite is the Extra MX.

You are a true PA addict.  {:)}

I had them all at some point, got rid of many to fund some giant scales. They all served me very well. The only one left is the Addiction X.

Post by: rcpilotacro on April 22, 2013, 09:59:32 PM
One of my favourite (second to only AJ Slick) is PA ADDY X. I reversed the ailerons (Put port one on the stbd and vice versa) so that PA is seen on the reverse hover too)

The ailerons that you see belongs to the opposite wings, Precision Aerobatics Sticker, therefore is visible at the bottom portion of the wing

Slick is on grass  ;)
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: Salam on April 22, 2013, 10:23:21 PM
Okay got that. I think you did that because the decals are factory installed... otherwise you could have simply put the decals where you wanted, right? :)

My 3D plans have more grass and dirt on the rudder and tail wheel than the main wheels.... some of the smaller plane's main wheels have not seen the ground.... I hand launch and hover catch them. LOL

Good god, Gus, is there anything you don't do? Last time I played golf as in Shillong at Brigadier Dalvi Memorial Cup. His granddaughter Larisa was my partner. No comments on our standings.... I hope you meet uncle Kant before August 18. Best. Cover the skies with glory.

Another addition to the hangar is a Tray Radio . reason for switching to tray is that, i am pinch flier (Very very light pinch at that) while flying with standard radio i  realized unless i rest the heel of my palm (as it is done in the real life aeroplanes) my flying wont improve and once in a while while operating stick vigorously (For hard 3D manos) i did slip on my pinch grip

JR XG14E (Click here for pproduct link) (https://www.jrpropo.co.jp/english/products/propo/details.php?hen=00756&db_flg=eng_db1) it is, sourced on request by Karthik & Sanjeev of RCDhamaka (http://www.rcdhamaka.com/)

Added Flame 550 with Naza V2 and Zenmuse 3D gimbal, Revoelectrix battery and RCLogger FPV gear, Thanks to Nilesh, Nilesh was prompt in replacing Arm which came broken and one motor (Which is on the way)

Zenmuse 3D Gimbal (though restricted functionality presently because of wrong control board, Nilesh has sent the right board, i guess it is on the way) is a cut above Zenmuse 2D gimbal Video and still is excellent so is FPV

Augustin sir, you are using CC3D ? Is that a Revolution platform or just CC3D ?
I am looking forward to buy a Openpilot board - it seems too cheap in Banggood and ebay but I am confused whether it is CC3D or the Revo board ? I checked through Openpilot wiki - but didn't get a clue on how to distinguish b/w Old CC3D and latest Revo platform ???

Also I wanted to know the exact features of CC3D (Not Revo) - Openpilot website is misleading. I can't gfigure out whether this board support GPS, telemetry , RTH or Waypoints.

It seems there is no accurate documentation for these boards (May be It is my problem !! ) - Somebody please share some experience .
Title: Re: Augustine from Kerala and my Hangar
Post by: rcpilotacro on January 31, 2015, 10:55:18 PM
I can do a segment on it, this is Revo, supports GPS and flight modes, tuning is great, you can customize the values based on your flying style, vehicle config and conditions in which you fly, what i like the most is the responsiveness. it is second to none, from hover to forward flight and a quick stop is exceptionally fast and superb. did some FPV as the sun was going down, it was great. only thing i realised was getting down from above the tree line can be a big pain especially when you went up through a hole in the canopy of trees. I did hit a small branch while descending ( i had already flown 23 min by then) with no consequence.

Satya (quadkopters) is the place you should get your board from, not from some BangBad :giggle:

Neat Gusty.  :thumbsup:. Looks more like a reptile or a TBS clone than a Dead cat to me.  ;)

Why is it that it appears as if ZuZu is taking a bite at you. The Brat is getting more naughtier by the day I believe.

Mine CC3D is on a Mini H carbon 250 with baby beast and it flies great. I am just graduating from Attitude to rateitude style of flying. Putting together one more H 250 frame from HK with a Naze32 Acro with RCX motors from Satya. Planing to go for a cleanflight config.

PS : Very unlike me accidentally got five prop nicks on my face with the baby beast due to accidental startup during throttle ranging. Not much damage already healed and has just added more color to the face.  :giggle:

Yes Gusty it could have been very easily the eyes. Had no reaction time. By the time I  realised I had the cuts and few strikes on the thighs too. The track fabric was really resilient so only bruised the skin without cut on thighs. Param had exactly your words almost verbatim after it happened.

Engine Overhaul day

Started early in the morning and finished at around 2100 hrs.

1. Opened first batch of engines and gave it a good wash scrub and put back
2. Changed two connecting rods
3. One flywheel needed change as well
4. Three bearing showed initial signs of rusting, they too had to go
5. Piston head of TT was burnt. Gave it a good head ;)

All engines are good to go back to models now

PS
I am throwing all the Castor oil away, none of these engines and the carb were moving, two bottles of WD40, Anti Rust Spray, Spirit, Methonol, Heat and Hard work got them released. had hard time removing those greasy shite away

PPS
Four more batches to go

Gusty I have never met an engine stuck due to congealed castor that did not move with a good bit of all around warming up with a heat gun and a prop attached to rock up the parts. Post that it is a simple matter of passing some fresh fuel or meth to free up things.

Finally heat gun after all that softening effort did it i guess.

Talking of planet earth, was following SI2 on their site and flightradar24.com, when i was puzzled by a large number of green circles on the flight path. This sidetracking of your thread justified as you'd have known what they are. I didn't know, and it took me while to find out.

BTW, SI2 is always crabbing to port, in previous flights too. Can't get an answer from them.
Perhaps you could throw some light...

ROYCO 634 (aka Anderol) is cleaner lubricant and preserver, all of 4 litres is worth it
