The Electric Hangar @ Indian RC Portal

This guy has a splendid collection of planes in his hangar watch for some given below

 
The Electric Hangar
PT17PT 17 Biplane

Built from the GWS kit. This plane was a very nice and peaceful flier. Powered by a brushless 400 motor and a 3 cell pack this turned into a blast. It went into a nose dive when the ESC shorted suddenly inflight. I still have it in the hangar and will resurrect it sometime. Read more

Tiger Moth Biplane

This is a beautiful flier and induces a lot of confidence in the flier to fly as they please. Flies Inverted very well. Read more

Spitfire

This was a GWS kit that was first powered by a speed 400 motor where it flew 'ok'. It was later changed and powered by a cheap Tower pro brushless and a 7x6 prop with 3 cell lipo pack. This changed the plane into a rocket. When I eventually retired the plane into the ground its fuselage broke into 2 parts but its repairable. I am letting it hang in my hangar for a new day.

Bae Hawk

This is built from the Ultrafly Kit. I got it at a bargain at towerhobbies. Powered by a brushless motor again it was a fiend for speed. The only draw back was it needed elevator mixing with throttle for reloiable flying. I got some good flights out of it. It is quite sensitive to nose weight. Fast plane ! Read more

Twinjet

This one is a beauty and one of my favorites. I traded the 2 brushed motors it came with for a 300W brushless inrunner and it give a super turn of speed. Flies with Elevon mixing and powered by a A123 4 cell pack it makes you look like a pro :) . If you are looking for speed this one gets my vote. Read more

Easystar
The best plane ever for beginners. I use a brushless for it and it simply is a plane that will fly when all others are down due to lack of space or high winds. With its pusher prop it takes a lot of beating.

Formosa Electric

This one was a surprise out of the box as it was BIG compared to all the previous electric kits. Its about 48" wingspan and long. Weighs about 1100 gms with a good capacity battery pack. A 25 sized motor is the best for it. Read more

Ultimate Biplane

A Beauty from Ultrafly and capable of 3D moves as well as aerobatics. This one was a fantastic flier. Sold to a friend who is enjoying it now. Read more

P 38 Lightning

Awesome looking scale bird. My first twin plane powered by 2 identical brushless motors and 2 ESC. Have got some flights out of it. Really looks very nice on the ground and in the air. Quite well sized at 48" WS. Read more

Parkjet Gripen

I got into the parkjet mode for this one and built this scratch out of depron or bio foam as it is known in India. Dint fly all that well for me but looks fantastic. I still have it put aside and will get back to working on it sometime. Read more

The Glow Hangar
Edge 540 v2
This was a beautiful kit I made using autocad and laser cutting. I made 2 versions of this and i think they turned out nice. The fuselage was a little thin compared to the orignal one though. The edge was a little prone to tip stalling but for a first plane design it was really satisfing to build and flying.
Extra 300 .90 size

This was my 2nd laser cut and cad designed kit. I still fly this plane and its really a very good flier. Its in its 2nd life with a new covering thats more jazzy. The engine is ASP 90 2 stroke that has done pretty well. Uses 5 standard servos. I must say this is the best design and built kit from me. Read more

Extra 300 .46 size

This was my 3rd design and laser cut kit. It was scale and flew very well. Powered by a .46 engine it did all the aerobatics in the book but no 3D. The plane was covered with Vinyl and lamination film on the wing. It is still flying with a friend. I built the cowl, canopy and landing gears from scratch. Quite a looker ! Read more

Yak 54 .50 size

A recent addition to the stable. Its an ARF. The plane is quite good looking and I use an OS 70 on it which is to be replaced by a Magum 91 4 stroke engine for more 3D ability. It shows quite some potential for doing the tricks in the book. Read more

Pitts Bipe

This ARF beauty I got it with me from the USA. Sweet looker and not too big in size. I used an OS 70 4 stroke on it and it flies awesome. Really looks very nice in the air. I have changed the engine to a OS 46 Fx and its being tested with that. Read more
