The greatest surprise in our Chennai visit was the DIY stuff our host Arun and his son Abishek was doing both inside and outside of RC.  I cannot discuss some of the product ideas and demos he has built, but will post stuff that is mostly RC related and already in public domain.

The first one is this robot built from scratch by Abishek :thumbsup:

Very nice anwar..any plans or any links from where I can build an Electrifly VFO ? Any idea about the setup ?

http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/a-strange-rudder-plane/ was the previous discussion on such models.  I am sure you can find a build manual somewhere online, not sure about plans.

Others also seem to have much success with such plans, as this video shows !
