Hi Mohan,
Welcome to RCI.
Please go through your questions below:
1. I have a santro car and I feel it won't fit in to transport the plan to the flying area
>> get the easy star 2 from Rcdhamaka (
http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_46&products_id=906) Its out of stock now but will be get stock in next week hopefully. This is completely portable solution to get fit in your car and one of the best beginners choice plane.
2. Should I start with gasoline or electric motor ones
>> Electric are good to start, as more convenient to manage.
3. Are there any other locations other than Hoskote lake area
>> You may search on top right for the Bangalore flying locations or flyers to contact them which may guide you.
4. Is it advisable to start with PC simulator or start with actual planes
>> Do just basic practice on simulator to understand the radio and controls. Then you can try on actual plane in presence of rc flyer.
5. Should I start with the custom built or factory made ones (I would love to spend time learning how to build and make one myself, of course with guidance)
>> i think if you can budget ES2 from rcdhamaka that is a good way to start. later you can build the planes on your own.
6. Which is right season to fly.
>> any day when you can see clear sky.
Which Radio?
>> its totally upon the individual decision to go with. I prefer to go with Futaba, Spectrum, JR or Swana radio instead of Chinese re-branded radio. And for the budgeted radio - Turnigy 9X or FrSky radios which are also have good proven record. Radio is a investment as you do not like to keep buying radio and receivers again and again. I have futaba radio and use frsky receivers with it which give me budget solution as the full range frsky receivers are as cheap as $20 and that solves my flying purpose. Future also if you go with costly planes you just need to get the original receivers and radio still remains same which is again saving. Again its upto individual and budget one have.
Happy Flying
