It may be pretty hard  hard to get a full nitro setup at that price (unless you go the SPAD way).  The closest I have seen is :

http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/ultimate-beginners-combo-from-rotor-sport/

You may (or may not) find something in the "For Sale" section of this site. These kind of offers by individuals come and go, so you have to watch the space.

Actually it is Rs15000 now....  but still over your budget significantly.  Looks like you may have to go for used items or go the SPAD way.

Check rotor.co.in, they had a combo some time back that should fit your budget.

Looks like Izmile is busy celebrating the holidays ;D

The SPAD way is to build aircraft with inexpensive, locally available materials (like coroplast from sign boards).  I remember seeing threads earlier that two 40 to 60 size airframes can be made for Rs 400 !

And the home of this seems to be the site : http://www.spadtothebone.com

Sorry, but we are getting mixed signals  :headscratch:

First you said you want an ARF for 10K, now it seems to be the airframe alone for 10K, so which one is it ?

Secondly, you have mentioned in your profile that you are beginner.  At this level, the above plane would be a really bad choice. Even otherwise, this is would be way way over budget for you, as it uses .90 engine, which itself would cost above your 10K budget.  And it is a low winger, which is not suitable for beginners (although that depends on how much of a beginner you are).

Most importantly, why pick something outside India, when similar planes are available locally ?

emm... 1st)i thought that we cant get any nitro plane below 10k.so i moved on to that. {:)}
          2nd)i know i know that i absolutely have no flying experience but that model looks cool.:D
          3rd)i saw a 4 stroke 91 os engine for rs 5000 so it would cost a total around 14000 (approx). 8-)
          4th)whats a low winger? ???
          5th)why outside?im very impatient so i cant wait for it to come. :)

1 question...do i have to buy servos seperately?or only a transmitter?

Well... we have another perfect example of what a beginner should NOT do ;)

Seriously, you are setting yourself up for big time failure/issues.

1. What is your own estimated cost on the whole setup (frame, engine, servos, receiver, batteries, transmitter, fuel).  I am not mentioning other things you may possibly need, like a starter, glow igniter etc ?

2. First looks can be totally deceiving  :giggle: 

3. Where did you see that ? And was it new ?

4. This question itself shows that you have not done your home work :(  A beginner should start with a high wing plane (the wing is attached to the top of the fuselage).

5. How can ordering from outside be faster than ordering from India itself :o

Pleaser read through the the beginner posts in the our "gems" at http://www.rcindia.org/rc-india-forum/the-rc-india-gems/ , which includes lists of items you need to fly a plane (either electric or nitro).

Most importantly, if you ask questions like these, people will not respond, as it is clear that you are not serious about seeking the information yourself by searching the forum (or Google). It would seem like a big waste of time.

That is one good option. 

I would suggest visiting the local field and talking to the people there, as the first step (if this is possible).

My 2 cents, invest in a simulator. you wont regret it.  :thumbsup:
why go all the way to Jacks and realize that all the stuff you mentioned in your earlier post are the same everywhere. the price is still going to be high. and the more you see the more you going to be confused.

You need to learn to fly before you actually fly.

If you invest in equipment and if you attempt to fly without learning how to; then I can guaranty a 'burnt finger' and maybe you might try poetry too  ;D

Go down to the field and hangout with flyers you'll soon know what you want and where to get it.

cheers
