Today
the hobby/sport of aviation aeromodelling
has finally gained worldwide recognition and we
Indians are not far behind. The increase in newcomers
and their interest in the sport has
allowed manufacturers of equipment and accessories to
invest heavily in new plants and processes. The result
is that the technological advancement of our
hobby/sport has progressed in leaps and bounds. One
visit to our club and you will understand what we are
talking about
“There
is no field left in which; remote control has not been
yet.” R/C sets are now extremely sophisticated and
reliable. Model engine capacities and the model planes
themselves are getting both larger and smaller
depending on one's interest. On one end of the scale,
we are now seeing new jet turbines capable of reaching
speeds of more than 300 km/hr., on the other end,
tiny indoor R/C models are capable of flying circles
in your Living room and Landing on the dining table.
These are evidences to the diverse interest this sport
holds for each one of us.
However,
there is one thing that technology will never replace
the challenge, the excitement and the joy of
controlling one of these models in flight.
When
Rakesh Verma
started playing with model planes about 20 years back
there were very few people who could take him
seriously needless to say there was no one who could
guide him. Today his collection of models and the
experience in this field has helped him evolve a
creditable standard to the method of training new
comers to the sport. Welcome to Indian Aeromodellers
Club.
IAC
is not not
only known for quality training but it is also
renowned for servicing of models. IAC has a full
fledged workshop for building kits, repairing the
models, expertise in make small souvenirs (scale
models), servicing and repairing the engines and stock
of imported fuel for the models. And yes if you visit
us you can feast your eyes on the collection of models
we have on display.
For
most people, the beauty of an airplane's design lies
in its lines and curves. For the flier, however, the
beauty of a design includes what that design can do.
That feeling is as true for R/C (radio control) pilots
as it is for pilots of full-size aircraft. The
difference in the aircraft size, and the fact that R/C
pilots remain on the ground has very little impact on
the way given designs perform. As a result, R/C
hobbyists have been able to model and fly aircraft
that range from the Wright Brothers' first plane to
the magnificent Space Shuttle. How
does one get into this hobby:
Check
with hobbyist friends
and visit the
Indian Aeromodellers club
(IAC).
Attend
one of our demo event.
You have to find a
good instructor.
With an instructor, you'll learn faster and with more
confidence than if you start out on
your own.
If your instructor's radio has a trainer system, you
can buy a compatible radio, connect the two, and fly
with less risk to your plane.
Warning:
If
you don’t have a proper instructor to teach you, the
life of your R/C Model will,be
for 30 seconds.
