On offer are the previous 4 models and new additions of a Hawker Hunter and a MiG 21 catapult launched model. Details of the new models are as follows:

All measurements are approximate and may be off by 5 mm or so.

Hawker Hunter : Length 325 mm (Tip of Nose to Tip of Tail), Wingspan 300 mm, Balsa weight 24 grams. Price : Rs. 150/- + Courier

MiG 21 : Length 305 mm (Tip of Nose to Tip of Tail), Wingspan 300 mm, Balsa weight 22 grams. Price Rs.150/- + Courier

Old timers will be nostalgic and undoubtedly identify the antecedents of these two new models.

As shown in the picture, a tube of Quickfix, Sandpaper 100 grade, Silk ribbon will be included in every kit. Specifications of the Auster Rs.60/-, Boreas Rs.70/-, Eurus Rs.90/- and Zephyr Rs.120/- can be found here : http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale/balsa-wood-gliders/

All prices are exclusive of courier charges. Keeping in mind the valuable lessons learnt from the previous experience (though the Balsa Gliders reached more or less intact to all consignees), I propose to ship through First Flight Couriers. Each consignment will be securely packed in thermocole, bubble tape and stiff cardboard. Larger consignments will be shipped in cardboard boxes. IMPORTANT : Please check this link for a good idea of the costs involved in shipping your consignment. Each glider kit weighs around 150 grams once packed securely.

This sale will close on 15th Sept. and the consignment will leave Guwahati on or around 24th Sept.

I am offering a 10% discount to all buyers who book 4 or more Gliders at a time.

Here is what we will do:

Step 1. You choose the gliders that you want
Step 2. You confirm your order to me on the forum
Step 3. I pack a trial consignment and let you know the exact courier charges
Step 4. You remit the amount into my account
Step 5. I confirm your order to the supplier
Step 6. Once the kits reach me, I repack and send them to you and give you the Tracking No.
Step 7. You receive the kits and are happy and we do business again!

Hope this is acceptable to all and I also hope I've not left any scope left for any ambiguity. Please get in touch if you require any clarifications.

Regards,

VC

The earlier models.

Alternately, all buyers may choose their preferred courier and I will try to ship it through them if a Guwahati office is in existence. I would be grateful if you could provide details like their Guwahati telephone numbers or their Guwahati address. Details of the following are available with me - Overnite, First Flight, DTDC, Pafex / Fedex, GATI.

VC sir i did not get my silk ribbons....but what are they used for ?

Its used to paste on the wing dihedral :

Akky, sorry for the oversight. You can use any strip of cloth 1/2 inch wide or you can buy  silk ribbon from any stationery store. It is used to strengthen the wing joints. Let me see if I can do something for you................

Thanks Rajathv8. Blocking the following for you:

Hunter X1, MiG X 1, Boreas X 1, Zephyr X 1.

Nice way to start a day by booking 4 gliders

Thanks for your support! I will factor in the 10% discount on this deal.

Thanks VC

2 each of all the models booked for Majraj. Thank you so much Sir!  PM sent.

Akky, I just checked the pictures that you posted of the Zephyr Glider on another thread. Sorry buddy, the construction is NOT correct. The wing should sit on TOP of the fuselage, you have joined them at the fuselage midsection. The balsa spar that was supplied with the kit is meant to be cut in half and pasted on both sides of the fuselage where the wing sits. This will give the wing base a greater surface area to adhere to and will form a solid bond. Let me see if I can post a diagram here.

This is what I mean.

thank you sir thats why i bought two zephyr

Ek kaam karo. Blade se gently line score karo and remove the wings. Sand the fuselage back and reassemble the wings. Or else I will send you a free Zephyr with your next order.

thank you sir but i guess i wont be building any plane this year probably next  year in june only i will start....so no need to send  Wishing you Good Luck for your glider  sales

Majraj, let's make this a Baker's Dozen. You asked for 12 gliders, I'll give you 13 for the same price + a 10% discount as promised. Name your choice, which one do you want for the Lucky 13th?

Just finished assembling a Zephyr. Uploading some pics. Final sanding yet to be completed.

A close up of the empennage (tail section).

Hi VC

Can you pls clarify whether balsa wood for all parts used in Hawker Hunter and Mig 21 kits are same as they were in Boreas or Auster kits?

No, they are of a better quality.

Sale closes tomorrow at 9pm. Anybody else interested?

Thank you Majraj, 12 more booked for you, in the same denominations as stated earlier. That is a 10% discount on the total + 1 Free Hunter + 1 Free MiG 21 for you.

Thanks again for your valuable support!

VC

I would advice all buyers not to go in for the Auster as I am personally not too happy with it being 'value for money'. For MAJRAJ's order, I am replacing the Auster with the Boreas at no extra cost.

Majraj, PM sent. Please check.

Regards.
