Well,

When my friend was going back to US, he asked for the packages to be returned back to him, as that is what the detention slip said. The customs clearly either had no idea on how to return it back or didnt had any intentions to do it. He waited for about an hour for them to return those packages, but atlast he lost his patience and told the custom officer that they can keep him as it was his time to board the plane for his journey. So, bottomline, the packages are still lying with custom authorities on mumbai airport.

And to answer your question yes, both the planes had their stock Lipos as well as that, there was one additional Lipo in one of the package.

I am not sure how those planes were packed but if it is important, i can get that info from my friend.

Regards

i my friends got two, tell him to ditch the packing and put fuse in one bag and wings in the others and electronics (If any) separately.

PS
Wonder why ? Ezee II is cheaper here with RCD

Thanks gusty sir and wingman.

I thought it will be cheaper there as the company is located there itself.

Yasodhan... take it easy   You are not using basic functionality on this forum, that of searching for existing information before starting a completely new thread that just ends up duplicating existing stuff !

I searched for "airport customs" and got this :

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-general-topics/airport-customs-issues/

Since that thread discusses this matter in detail, let us stick to the same discussion.

This is also the reason why no one bothered to respond to this thread.

I am really sorry, I didn't search properly enough.

you are going to bangkok and spending money on a heli ??

my friend ... there are far greater pleasures to be had.

A heli is over 7-8k cheaper there, so I don't mind buying it.come on, I can buy another os 37h engine for the money I save.

Or if someone could tell me where I could get the same in india for a few thousand more(not 7-8k more, like 2-3k more)
