RC India

I had visited Delhi in june and bought myself helis(2) both of 3 channel.
the good part is that they costed me less than 3k.BTW i got a palm size from the market for only Rs.700! (:|~  and a syma 9053 volitation 26" heli with a 7.4 volt 1300mah lion batt. only for  Rs.2250! (:|~ (:|~ (:|~this heli is listed on the major rc reseller U.S sites

I thank my uncle to take me there.The funny part is that the next day i went to pacific mall in kaushambi,Ghaziabad where i was buying clothes and saw the volitation there!
"their" tagged price was Rs.4750. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

btw for the kind information the market is called lala Lajpat Rai market opposite to the red fort.

I suggest people to have a look to the stuff available over there as it is in a very good deal and lots of syma stuff is available!

I bet it would be brutal when markets like Lajpat Rai, Nehru Place etc jump into R/C arena - people would forget Hobby King for good. Do post the pics of the heli and recall what other R/c stuff you saw there ?

i would like to tell you all people ,  i live near lajpatrai market , and suggest you not to buy any part out there as it will not last long hack to your life  suppose if you buy a lipo , it will be local made or may be imported from china , but one thing is good about that market , if you want to buy any 
radio component like , transister and capaciter than you can easily find any type, any led ,.....

I guess it is sort of understood that these helis are not really meant for repair via parts replacement.  You fly it, and if they crash, you try local fixes (superglue types), and try substituting parts.  Looks like the best you get in terms of parts for these are the blades.

 :banghead: :banghead: ok maybe the palm size heli is not so good ;)
but my 9053 syma is one of the best 3 ch coaxials.

Man i really want a big 3-channel heli like this one..  (:|~ At these prices its worth buying, even if its just a toy! I have friends coming down from Delhi but none of them know anything about helis   :banghead: Anyone stayin nearby that place who can buy me one??  ;D

all parts are available on ebay US as replacements!

true but thanx vineet that you replied me about lipo's
many lipos are available for very very low prices
I paid Rs.90 for a 600mah lipo only!! (:|~ (:|~ (:|~

therefore if you want to make a 1200mAh 11.1v lipo you spend Rs. 90x6=Rs 540 only!
2 batteries in parallel connection(1 pack) x 3 packs of the same
 maybe this surely is (:|~ (:|~ (:|~ (:|~ (:|~

It depends on what brand and model you are getting.  Then comes shipping charges, which is not a good thing on helis that cost a little more than 1K.

"but my 9053 syma is one of the best 3 ch coaxials."

I would tend to agree with Prateek. The Heli that I recently bought is identical in every respect to the Volitation and is a very stable flyer. Though I paid much more than what Prateek paid for his Heli, I am not complaining about the quality.

Cheers!

so what about the batt. pack ? will it work?

like i said lajpat rai market is the cheapest market for electronics if you hae a guts to bargin, but beware

the flight video(sorry for clarity :( >:( :banghead: :thumbsup:)

that is me and the sound(also video)is of medicineman1987 (aneesh)
thanks to him :bow: :bow: :bow:

Bravo! {:)} {:)} {:)}

the only problem with these 3 channel helis is that the rudder action is on the right side, (this is for the Mode 2 guys), so now when u want to fly 4 channel helis, where the rudder on the right has now becomes the aileron, it creats a habbit interference, i found it hapenning to me, and my son, so we just put it in the living room as a show piece. If u serously want to get into helis, and u a mode 2 guy, stay away from these 3 ch things. Go in for Walkera CB100 4 channel, and ur learning curve will be steep. Well, at the end of the day, its ur money !!!

Ramesh, We are waiting for your Walkera CB100's flying video!!!

Srihari,
hahahaha, ok ok, actually the CB100 is with my son in Pune and that video is on my facebook, I have the 4G6S and its very first flight was in the bedroom and that video is also in faceb (rameshtahlan) Hope fully tomorrow should be able to video backwards stall turns on my raptor 50, will put that up also.

One suggestion.  Kindly upload videos on Youtube instead of Facebook. One can always embed Youtube videos on Facebook.

OR, if you must use Facebook for videos, please set their access level so that they can be viewed without logging into facebook.  This allows sites like RC India to embed the video directly here, without forcing people to logon to Facebook :)

Anwar,
Thanks, good idea.

I bought this model yesterday & this is my 1st RC learning to fly on this would be fun, I am just reading the forum for learning the basics 1st.

Is there any shop in Delhi where I can buy a spare lipo battery for this?
How many months or no. of charges will this battery last?

Any shop in Delhi having the anti crash kit like shown in this image

I also want to buy E-Sky 4 CH Flight Simulator Training Kit For Airplanes and Helicopters w/ USB Port in Delhi if possible.

HI Ranjan,
u may not get spares for these heli in Indai.  i have not found so for. That is why it is better to get the CB 100 from ehirobo and order as many parts as u want. My son has CB100 which is fixed pitch 4ch and expremely stable, and i have 4G6S with 2801 Pro 8ch extreme 3D, and enough spares to make 2 more flying helis hahaha. The main reason is u will never get spare in India.

Ranjan,
as far as ur lipos for this heli, u may not be able to get in India, even the shop from where u bought will keep telling the batt r coming for next couple of years. I finally ordered 4 from ehirobo.com

Thanks Ramesh for the info.

@prateek13
How long do you need to charge the battery 1st time, i did it for 2 hours & all I could fly the heli for 3-4 mins only.

Will the green light blink confirming that the the charge is fully done?

Can you tell me the shop number please. I knew that these are available in Ghaffar Market Karol Bagh , but if available in Lajpat rai market that would be extremely convinient

Thanks

can you please give me the address of that shop in lajpat rai ! :(
