Mangalore: They have a unique hobby. They gather at Maryhill every Sunday with their colourful radio controlled airplanes and helicopters to fly them in the sky. They are the members of the RC Hobby Club.There are around 10 to 15 youth who enthusiastically gather at Maryhill helipad every Sunday at 8 am to fly their radio controlled aircraft. Instructors in the group train their pupils to fly these aircraft and also to operate radio-controlled motor cars.
Vishal Rao, a civil engineer and one of the members in the group, said, “I joined this group five years ago. This hobby circle was started by Rajaram Shenoy, J P Rao, and Rajesh Mangalore.”
He also said that flying RC planes improves hand-eye co-ordination and increases concentration. “It is also a great stress buster. In the process of tuning models to fly perfectly, one can practically learn about science and physics. The aircraft are classified into electric and engine planes. Electric planes use motors whereas as engine planes use small internal combustion called glow engine which work on special nitro fuel. Working with engine planes gives one practical experience in operating such engines. One learns how to tune the engine by adjusting the carburetor needle,” added Rao.
