Hey Guys i dont know is this correct place to ask this question :headscratch: :headscratch:

I am in kind of requirement of CNC cutter. Do you guys know any CNC/Laser cutting provider from Mumbai or Navi Mumbai??

I want to cut some glass fiber (G10) and 0.8mm aluminum booms.

Any kind of reference would be very very much help full and really appreciated

Looking forward for your inputs. :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

i have a CNC resource based of Pune if that can help

Pune is good too, as long as they are ready to ship it to me. Do you know the charges? can you provide me contact details?

hi,

If you can give details on the kind of work maybe i can help. i know people having various setups.

do u want lasercut or machining work?

regds

Laser cut is good for wood i dont think it will be good with glass fiber sheet. I need machining.

hey satya,

i contacted the guy who owns cnc.

he would need samples to decide...how ever he is ready to do the machine work ...and ship to mumbai at actual shipping costs.

let me know if still need my help


madaquif

Sure, but i have got couple of guys now. Just checking with them now.

Hello Friends
Here at Sharma Model Aero Engines , Jodhpur we have CNC laser cutting machine with which we can cut upto 18mm of ply, thin fiberglass & carbon fibre sheets ( sorry but no metal, only engraving on them) and metal working shop , you can mail me the drawings so that I can further judge the possibility of getting it done info@sharmamodelaero.com

Vivek - can you do custom laser cutting of aeromodel kits  ?

do I have to send the files or can you work from plans.

Yes I can get them cut, and a CAD file (dwg or dxf) will definitely save time as we need to have them for the cutting in best tolerances.

Hi Vivek do you sell these CNC horns, firewalls, motormounts and accessory packs for scratch builders??

I suggest you check out Justdial or similar sites.
I got custom laser cut balsa parts from thane.Similar services are available around mahape and ghansoli too.
The guy at thane charged based on time something like 7 rupees per min.

Thank you Mr Ceo, I was just enquiring as we can buy them quite a few websites here...

Hi Deepak,
Sorry for the delayed response due to some field work.
Presently I have not started stocking such products but can definately do on any demand & soon I will try to put them as standard packages.

That will be great...you have a customer waiting when you do...!! Thanks..

By the way Vivek,
Your Balsa wood panels and liteplay I bought from you last year is fantastic value for money and best quality I have had so far  from any Indian suppliers.

Your propellors are great too for the price you are charging for them as I can pay upto RS 600 // £6 +postage for APC propellors and it hurts everytime one has a bumpy landing...

Thanks for the samples of horns in plastic ..... Not impressed by their quality... Common you can do better than that.. your dyes in these are probably older that me..its about time you had some new dyes considering the quality that is available from China at a fantastic price....

However your servo keeps (The small screwy things instead of z-bend) are fantastic quality and so reasonable I am going to order 20 more for my workshop..

Must compliment you on the strength of your steel wire undercarriages too..

Are you doing any light weight ready made piano wire electric undercarriage sets as the HOBBYKING'S BIXLER.... I have had to buy a few for my depron planes...would be nice if you do..

Also what happened about the CNC cut kit of that 46 size or electric WOT4 look alike aeroplane you were creating..Are they ready..

Sushil Anand just sent me a message and will contact you too.

I am interested in a CNC kit of ACRO WOT electric if you have please..
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Deepak
Many thanks for the Comments & Advice  {:)}

As for the Horns and some other accessories, they are already from NEW moulds, I will send you some samples of them.

We are not doing the undercarriages below 3mm wire as an average aeromodeller can do it himself very easily to sute his particular  model. The thinner ones dose not require heat treatment if you use a semi hard spring steel wire (or say a Piano wire for more convenience in any local music instrument market.

Presently I am trying to do some range of ARFs for specially for Bignners  & Intermediate aeromodellers & soon will be available on my store (about 20-30 days). The pretty part is that all the Hardware & Accessories are Made In India & with a comparable quality. So one can now get them very fast (like engine mount/fueltank/horns etc) whenever replacement is required.

Presently I have done few models:
1. KAISER MARKII- A High wing trainer For Glow/Electric, wing span about 48"
2. Glider APPLE BOX- Wing span 6' , wings split able in 2 pcs for easy transportation, Good for Glow/Diesel/Electric.
3. GENTLE Jr.- High Wing Trainer, Wing Span 60" for 0.40-46 Glow/Electric
4. Low winger (still to be named)- Wing span 63" for 0.46-55 glow/electric

All are done on laser with Balsa & Plywood.  Soon I will post pics.

The WOT4 is in next batch

MANY THANKS REGARDS TO ALL & HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY :hatsoff:
Vivek

Hello D
Deepak

The pic titled 'undercarriage.jpg' looks awfully familiar

Hi Wibberley.... You are not far from me..Where do you fly..? I fly at Frolesworth...(Burbage Model Aero Club)
Deepak

Hi Sanj,
I have been requesting the model shop guys to produce a few essential parts that every beginner can buy off the shelf from them and build a model from freely available resources at a cheap price.
Yes that image is from this site and belongs to one of the member's aircraft which I have uploaded again to show Vivek. The undercarriage in the image from RC india modellor's plane was inspired from Experimental or Flite Test... It would be nice if it was available ready made with quality wire and wheels that are lightweight but strong to take pounding and wheel stops or collets installed.

It would be very similar to the undercarriage kit Hobby King is supplying for BIXLER 2 plane.(This image is there too)
Deepak

Familiar because that is my hand holding the Baby Blender Bipe I scratch built last week  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thank you for informing Sanj...that was a good build log, sorry I did not notice your name or would have remembered. I have noticed you are in Delhi, do you fly at Bhondsi? I am from Delhi too .... Cambridge School..where only seniors were allowed to join Mr Jaiswal's Aeromodelling Club (Control Line ..1970) and I left school by the time I became a senior......

I was flying with Jamal and guys a couple of years ago when I visited them...

You know what.. I just noticed RCD have got the wire structures and complete undercarriages for sale..did you get yours from there?  How did you fit it, please expand...

Please could you also insert the link to the build log as I cannot remember where your build log to that BIPE is..thanks..
Safe landings...
Might see you in December if flying at Bhondsi..

One of my favourite FT Planes- because it looks cartoonish!

1970 is a long long way back :)

I passed out of school in 1972, Cathedral in Bombay. Moved to Delhi only in 1982, and been all over since 1992.....lived and worked in 5 different countries!

Yes, I used to fly in Bhondsi. But, since moving to electrics, I go to a field just a few minutes from my house - not great for Nitro, positively dangerous for gassers because of people, cricketers, parked trucks et al. Works for electrics though; flown some fairly large ones.

Bit unfair to hijack someone elses thread, so we'll continue the LG discussion on a new thread.

You are of course Deepak Chopra, whose posts I have read frequently in AAG on FB. :D :D

Thanks Prateek
I have been in touch with Aniket and might see him in VASCO at the end of November... Will you be able to meet at the same time or is it too far from you?? Please will you message me your tel number and email as a private message..thanks..


Sanjay, that FT model the one you have built is superb.. Your workshop is very impressive too...it shows you are quite a craftsman and a meticulous builder.... Boats and planes... just sent you a request on FBK....

I have a Raven EPP wing with Jamal....if he has not built it as yet, would you mind building it... I will request him to pass it to you... if you agree that is..
Thanks

Safe landings
