RC India

Looking for an EPP 3D model like the HK Yak55  http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=17521 or similar in India. Needs to be shipped to Kerala.

Ordered a HK reaktor and its in transit after customs :) Wanted to see how it goes with customs. Now that its cleared, next up will be a HK YAK55 EPP.

I wonder why our LHSs dont sell EPP models?

I too ordered a yak 55 epp from hobby king , arrived in bangalore and pending customs clearance, Sameer
 If your shipping address is in Kerala  you wil not be getting it easily, good luck

Guys

Good news for all e-flyers. Our first order of EPP models is in transit. We shall inform you all when we start taking the orders.

Expect all 3D EPPs' in next 10-12 days.

Thanks Santhosh bhai, Any how seems like I got away with the reaktor (its in transit), if you are talking about customs. I had to take this chance as EPP models were not available in LHSs and shipping to KSA is next to impossible.

Great to hear that SphearHobbies! Please do update us when you have them in stock. And is there any chance to have .60 to .90 size profile balsa kits (ProX260, Katana V2, Yak 54 etc.) ?

I am already flying Hobbyking Yak 55 3D 1096mm EPP. Its an excellent Aircraft flies beautifully.

For person ordering it, Part list to make it complete.

These are basic parts required to make this plane flyable. Or you can make your own Choice...

magarwal1, how did you order it? I mean, how did you bring it from HK? EMS? did you face any probs with customs or shipping?

Ordered it from HK ordered the plane separately, Electronic and battery 2gether. Shipping method was Air Mail & Air mail Registered. Come uselly within 20 to 25 days with custom processing. Reason for ordering plane & electronic separately is, Aircraft make the box big which gets retained by customs but your Electronic will be a much smaller box it will clear custom easily. Custom clearing takes 5 to 15 days.   

I try not to order through EMS bcuz EMS parcel always get retained by Customs. Work your order around Air Mail will be better. Time taken by both methods is the almost same.

Thanks dear for the heads up! will order through reg. airmail then. Cant wait to get this plane in my hand :)

Just ordered the Yak55 and chose airparcel India this time to a friend in Bangalore :) fingers crossed.


Edit: Just came to know that the HK reaktor has safely reached our Post Office just waiting for my brother to go and collect it  (:|~ Hope the yak55 also finds its way home ;)

Still, if Sphear brings there EPPs, might go for one to keep in Kottayam for vacation flying!

Got both the Yak55 as well as the Yak54 today! couldnt be happier  (:|~ . So my search for an epp 3d practice machine ends there.
