Is it EPP?

EDIT: oh ok its EPO...just read the post properly

Clarified in Modification EPO and the Glue supplied is regular Anabond

This is good, no more hobbyking floaters for India now i guess  :thumbsup:

But compared to HK AXN floater the price is bit high. Hk AXN floater with 2200 mah 20c battery come to 4700. SHIKRA Option 3  Air frame with Power and Servos without battery I guess is 5600. I have seen the SHIKRA when I went to RCforall some time back. Its exactly the same airframe and dimensions as AXN Floater

yessss!!!!

at last it is available now!!

can you do a favour?
please list it on ebay as well as i would like to buy it through ebay.
and also give complete details about the battery/remote control/servos etc

by the way what is "CORO CANOPY"?

+ 1 to what is said above.

Please book one for me airframe only.




PS : PM rejected due to your inbox full please.

+1

Can you please post some more pictures?

Option 1 airframe only is a great offer :) .

The Price for option# 1 has been almost doubled from 1600 to 2800 since the first posting of its arrival.

It is AXN Floater/Clouds Fly by all means. But again for people who order from HK, its a costly affair. Option 3 with full power system could be had from HK shipped for Rs 4000 including customs (Please, customs doesn't hold Foam planes, unless you are too stupid). So I people who need it very urgently or dont have Credit card, it would help to had it for extra 1800 bucks locally.

Wish it were also sold as spare Fuse/Wing/Tail for people repair their AXN or close to old announced price. .

really ujjwal  bhaiya u are really worthy of ur title"forum hero" .at last you saved people form being fooled u are :bow: i have no words

Yash,
Its not about fooling. Mr Sai told me personally when I inquired about the final prices. He told that the price may go a little up due customs issues. He might have his own over heads and working margin to cater. It was just a FYI for people clueless what to do. Its all about working out the options in front of  oneself.
I wanted to buy FPV system. The price of the ones offered locally were a mental blockage to me and I would have never ventured into FPV due to high price. I went online and saw something feasible, though not as high quality offered locally. Here I have the Tx/Rx system at my hand.

You haven't seen the dark age non-internet era when R/C items were sold as if imported cars or even marijuana. Thankfully the LHS are becoming increasingly rational in their pricing. Some are already at international prices, rest are closing near.

for a 13 year old kid like you, there are lots of changes to be seen. this hobby getting more popular, more LHS, more option, better prices and availability. Just stick to the hobby and practice the SIM for the next flying session :D

Wow well said ujjwaana(Exactly the same thing I had in my mind). The price could go down a little to meet the initial rates mentioned. But still if somebody wants the airframe alone the deal is same price as the HK without a plastic canopy(I dont know what is a coro canopy  :headscratch: ). This will be great sell if the price goes down.

Ujjwal and Others ,
Yes you are right for those who buy the Shikra from us  we will provide  support by way of parts like fuse, Wing etc  . As far as providing the same to users of similar planes other than those bought from us would not be possible at this stage .

" CORO CANOPY " : Well it is a  canopy developed by us  for this plane which is held in place by either velcro or rubber band.

Sai

Some detailed pics would be super!

So Fuse, Wings and other parts will be sold separately for customers who buy the SHIKRA from RCFORALL? Can you list the price for the separate parts also?

Sorry as I said  that is a service for our customers only hence it will be between us and the customer  depending on the relations between us  could even be free in some cases .
That is not  for general consumption right now .
Value added services  you see It is not available for Sale   so no prices.

sai

Confirm one airframe for me please

Sure praveen

Thats really a nice offer for an LHS, It inturn benifits both. Would be great if you can extend it to others when you can.

pls clean ur inbox it's full

many people like it!
you guys got a lot of orders!

keep it up!

The Motor  2805 2840 KV does it support 3S batteries.

Subir

Sir i have purchased the same and want to know , whether using a 3S battery will be OK , or should i go for a 2S

Sorry I forgot to mention earlier .
We have checked it out  with a watt meter and found the best is to use a 2 S set up ( 7.4V )  with a 5 x 5 prop so that the Current draw  is  around 16 to 18 amps . With this set up the thrust is just right for beginners and it is extremely stable to fly even in very windy conditions like those we fly in at Kovalam  
We have recorded   wind gusts  upto 30 + kmph ( not a regular feature but  some days it can be gusty in summer) .

Shikra manual uploaded here :

http://www.rcindia.org/myfiles/Shikra_Glider_Assembly_Instructions.pdf

This is a question for Sai sir (RCFORALL) or anyone who has purchased a Shikra.

The current price of the Shikra airframe-only is  :Rs: 1575 whereas that of airframe+BLDC+2props is  :Rs: 3600. Now, the cost of the BLDC 'DY 2805/14 2840KV' is  :Rs: 750 only and the 2 props won't go for more than :Rs: 100.

So, why is the second setup priced  :Rs: 3600 instead of  :Rs: 2420? Is a LiPo or ESC included too?

Thanks of   Pointing out this mistake .  The listing of the Shikra @ Rs 1575/-  was wrong so it is withdrawn.
Swapnil I owe you a special gift for pointing this out send me a mail of your address and we will send you a special surprise.

sai

I wasn't pointing any mistake sir, I just  thought you must have missed adding something on the 'included items' list of the airframe+motor setup.

Here is a link to the Photo Assembly of Shikra and a Slideshow as well :

Sai the Link is inactive.

I have the Shikra. This is a wonderful model and has a lot of 'forgiveness' Like its stability... easy to setup and easy to fly...
Highly recommended especially as a beginner model. Plus the price has dropped from when i picked it up.

Also Rcforallin was kind in more ways than one... in regards to shipping and also with replacements for parts that were lost in transit.

So what is the new 'low' corrected price?  :)

Looks like the link does not work for sharing in a public domain.
Please mail rcforallin@gmail.com and I can send you the sharing link by e mail.

sai

 what is the actual price of shikara that is only airframe ...
