Hi Ravindra -- thanks for getting in touch thanks also for the great shots!

With respect to your question about folding props, there are a couple of suppliers we know who might be in a position to help you out.  We have enquired with them about their experience shipping to India, and we'll see what that brings.  We'll pass along to you whatever we hear.

One further thought: please consider writing something up for our Letters to the Editor feature.  It's well read by our audience and if you explain the type of help for which you are looking, you might find a solution through them.  Our readers always seem anxious to help! The link is https://new.rcsoaringdigest.com/2022/10/letters-to-the-editor (https://new.rcsoaringdigest.com/2022/10/letters-to-the-editor). There are details at the bottom on how to submit. 

Also, please consider writing up a story for the New RC Soaring Digest about the RC soaring scene in your part of the world. Our readers would love to read it, without a doubt!

Thanks and best regards,

@ravindra,

10x6, 10x8 and 11x8 prop blades in stock at RCBAZAAR.com for Rs 200.
Search for ‘folding prop’ on their site.
For hub/spinner search for ‘folding spinner’

Regards
Iyer

P.S. Nice gliders!

@TerenceCGannon,
Read this issue end to end by 4th itself!
Still nostalgic about the old format, but getting used to the new one.
The ability to go directly to old(er) articles, (instead of via the archives and relevant issue) is a great step forward.
Keep it coming...
Regards
Iyer
