High Flying Ajith


Actor Ajith's passion for motor sports is widely known. But the sought-after star is equally thrilled about aviation. He can assemble a mini aircraft; make it fly with a remote. A great-lover of aviation, it is a child like job for the actor to do Aeromodelling.
Taking part in a seminar at Sathyabhama University, Ajith displayed his skills in Aeromodelling. Ajith showed the students how to assemble and fly scaled models by remote control, it was a lesson that many of the students of Sathyabhama University tuned into with avid interest.
As Ajith, an action hero in reel life, got into the routine act of preflight checks on a RC (remote controlled) turbine helicopter, the students and faculty cheered him all the way The seminar titled 'current status and changing trends in aerospace' was attended by who's who of the industry in which Ajith was widely acclaimed. The actor said that was drawn to Aeromodelling while still a student at the Asan Memorial School in 1983 when he was part of the NCC.
'I kept up with the subject even after school and in 2000, when cinematographer Arvind Kamalanathan spoke of the difficulties in filming helicopter shots without a Helicam, I became an Aeromodeller,' said Ajith, who is logging hours at the Madras Flying Club, in an effort to acquiring a pilot's licence.
