Btw, did you check the last pic of this plane he has bought, the pic with the lady ?...this plane seems huge  Shocked

Dont get ur hopes so high. most chinese girls are very short in height. ever heard of Gurkha Regiment. kind of like that. few years back i purchased a glider online seeing just a pic like that. it was not so big as it looked in the picture.

Ok, maybe this is a dumb one, but why is the weight of package shown as 3kg(say) even if the plane isnt more than 600g, I mean what do they pack it in? Rocks???

you would never believe how much a cardboard box can weigh, an ARF easystar weights ~500 grams taken out of the box. How ever the complete sealed in original box weights more than 3 kg. easy glider weights ~700 grams, but NIB package weights more than 4 kg  Shocked

it is not the physical wieght that counts while shipping large boxes like kits by airmail. It is the volumetric charge. why don't you take an empty ARF box, put 700 g of rubbish in it and find out the postage by airmail or DHL.
it will cost you at least 1500-2000 Rs. to hong kong.

Hobby King Style of inflating prices

Was noticing this for a while that HK repeatedly put an item in BK (backorder) and puts the same item as a new one as  jack up the price.
Got some question for Mr Hands ?

1st release of Orange FASST Rx - $29
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=14300

New Item : $33

I think i should get my synthesized receivers right now, I have already posted on their product page that why is there only 25 cents difference between 4 channel and 6 channel receiver. I should get them before they fix this difference by hiking 6ch Rx's price.

wow...good observation ujjwaana.  Clap

I also noticed that HK has a major price difference between its Turnigy and Zippy lipos, even though both of these lipo brands are manufactured in the SAME factory by Hextronik Ltd.
The price difference between the same exact lipos , but different brand name is about $24.00 !!  Undecided

ZIPPY Flightmax 4000mAh 6S1P 40C -http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9960

Turnigy 4000mAh 6S 40C Lipo Pack -http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10304

Rhino lipos are the best ones sold by HK , thats what I say. Smiley

the difference between both RX is "compatible with the Satellite mode of the TFR8-S" i think because of this, there is cost difference.

Whoops!! My BAD! These Rx are really phenomenal!!! Not seen anything like this in DSM paradigm! Just look at the pic!

Well Samanth,
Turnigy and Zippy batteries have different quality, even thought they come out of same factory. the dirt (?) cheap B-grade lipos also coem from same factory. Its all about Quality Assurance, and believe, it matters the most!

That got me excited for a while until I found out it isn't really sbus support. Hopefully that is next step.

I ordered 8 mini servos from HK on 11th April and received it today...i guess thats pretty decent for a package weighing under 200grams which took exactly 14days to arrive.

You have to wait patiently  Samanth you will get the letter. Time depends on the work load at customs..which is always quite heavy.
