Chennai: Aviation enthusiasts are taking part in an exhibition of detailed model aircraft, and this has attracted people from all walks of life.
Aviation enthusiasts gathered in an airfield with the models capable of flight, many of them sporting 50 cc internal combustion engines.
Visitors looked on as the miniature planes and helicopters took to the skies, their controllers expertly maneuvering them into doing daredevil stunts.
One of the organisers of the event, K. V. Chari, said: "We would like people to develop into good scientists and makers of aircraft. This is the third (exhibition) that we are doing. We have had a lot of people who have come in, and the idea primarily is to inculcate a technical bent of mind. We want children not to look at these things as just something they go on to office (to make). This is creation. When you see something like this fly, it brings out the child in you."
