Hi guys,
Have a look at this site below:

Looking at the pictures  {:)} {:)}, it is seen that these guys are really forward in making this hobby a super hobby. i don't know when this time comes to India. such small receivers with inbuilt servos...these products are really great in building miniatures..... {:)} {:)} {:)}. here we are talking about 350 gms, 450 gms, 500 gms...... and above....but they are talking about 14gms 11gms....surprising.....

Sandeep ,
I have been having micro RC Products for long including a 0.8 gms Brushed ESC even now , but the issue is RC itself is just about developing  so it will be a while before  we reach here no use banging your head .

Our regular aero Modelers  are finding it difficult to accept electric as another possibility  In India we have clear lines drawn  either you fly glow and gas or electric very few mix both we still have to cross that mental barrier  so electric micro's are still a distant possibility  .

I know the above comment will  rake up an argument  but still as a person looking at many aero modelers around India I feel I have a bigger picture .

Check this out you will be shocked  :o at the ease with which this guy is making quad's around 15 - 20 gms .

Yes Mr. Sai,
I agree to every point you said. even now a days there are lighter motor, esc, are available.... but there is a huge cost involved......what about other material......
i can see....i am looking for 1 2, 3 mm depron sheets to make small models....NOT available.....that's a different story...
what i want to say was just an information and didn't want to raise any argument if it fails to give a positive output. About developed countries...yes India is also a developed country now...but still there is a long long road to reach up to that level.......
IN some of our posts related to junk yard, best out of waste, home made RC parts were posted...that is a good way to start this hobby at low cost......or one can say a home made low cost rc plane will boost people to enter this hobby and what we want here.......
i have seen smartflyer site

What rotor zone is mentioning about manufacturer of motor....this is good that we have manufacture here.....i am not aware whether these motors are available here or not and at what price......
But only motor manufacturing is not enough....we need whole thing......i think this is not possible here as getting it from china is much cheaper then making it here..... :)

Sandeep,
 I was not aware you were looking for RTF micro. I misunderstood the purpose of the thread then. I was pointing out activity in micro modeling area in India. These people did not become manufacturers one fine morning, they were into modeling well before they got into manufacturing. And though you have dismissive attitude to their efforts, their products were very highly regarded in the western world from where you picked up the article. Some people mentioned in that article were customers and dealers of these guys.

Non availability of thin depron sheets is not a problem you can't solve. I myself have sliced 3mm sheets with hot wire cutter into sheets of about 1mm. Just takes some patience setting things up. At this scale of modeling, most are small parts which you can cut out from depron food plates.
