"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education" -Albert Einstein
Myself never been a admirer of formal education and this is what we (Team Auk) did to break our boredom build a Remote controlled Glider for some it might be just a toy and others waste of money before the end semester engineering project!But for me I knew I wanted to do it and make our own creation fly and to make it fly high.
"One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time”- Andre Gide..
When we started of with our project to be very true we were all shooting in the dark and had no clue of how to go about our project even though we downloaded loads of information from the net which just finally consumed our hard disk memory.With time constraint and college classes that took our day time away we finally got our act together and each decided to work on different aspect of the projects like design,construction ,electronics and soft skills.
In the mean time we also consulted a professional aero modeller and had to ship most of our electronics in order to get the best for our own creation and it to fly high .. Loads of research and development went into this to create a very light glider with a huge wing span such that each drop of superglue we added to fix the balsa wood made us think twice ..Suddenly from being careless people that we were now we were acting professional every parameter was considered ..every loophole was tried to be fixed with innovation and the knowledge best available ..
I guess the project brings out the best out of a person and with one's own money and desire to achieve something which he dreamt of always gives you that extra push to test the limits and just stay in there !!
The following is a scribd document attached of our project abstract with video of our maiden flight
