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 | |
|---|---|
| Tiger Moth Biplane | |
| 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.

| 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

| 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. |
| 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 Video | |
| 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 Video | |
| The Glow Hangar | |
| | 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. |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
Rcoket Modeling
This is a hobby like aero modeling and known as the model rocketry or the rocket modeling. I am not sure that how many of you have heard of this hobby in India. It is very popular hobby in the America and the European countries. In this hobby models of the rockets are made and flown. Rocket Modeling was originated in the America in the year 1954 and after that keenly followed by the many world over.
