Hello Manish,
Good to have youngsters like you here.
Getting a radio, battery and a battery charger as well is a little difficult in 3500. All I could say is don't order radio from any international store. I'd seen both good and bad part of it :banghead:(once came in 15 days and the other came in 1 month 25 days with custom duty)
So, its better to stick to Indian Stores.
You can go for a Flysky FS CT6B 6 channel radio. Comes under 2500/- and is computer programmable, but you'll have to search for it because out of stock on almost every store.
Next, comes battery and charger. Battery since, you are a beginner 1000mAh 3S is enough for almost all your models you'll build. 1000mAh you'll get for around 700/- or even less.
And then comes the charger so first go for a basic one and then upgrade to good one... Here are the links:

Got a slow connection otherwise would have posted more links.
Hope it helps.

There is no point in buying pushrods from rc stores. Go to your nearest cycle shop and ask him for cycle spokes. They are 2mm thickness and are perfect. I have never used anything else ever since I found these.
Most cycle shops will give you one rod for Rs. 2
If you buy 10, you may be able to bargain and get 10 for Rs. 10, but it depends on your cycle shop.

Chek with satya sir when this will be back in stock. if possible you can do a pre order. this is a good radio for your budget. for batteries go to rcbazaar.com.

I saw some used flysky TX RX on OLX..check if they are still available, but those are programmable. Think before you buy. I don't think New Flysky 2.4G CT6B will come in market again. It is obsolete as per quadkopters. i suggest wait for some time save some money and buy good stuff which will help you in long term.

Hi,
Now I have managed for the radio the problem is that every hobbyshop has one or the other component missing
in rcbharat.com i am getting the batteries but not the connectors  and battery charger
Same with rcbazar.com
now what i wanna buy online is a battery , battery charger ,connectors( for esc and motors) and  and T connectors for battery and esc
please suggest me a online store to buy all my components in one store itself :help:

@utkarsh QuadKopters.com has the charger but the powersupply is out of stock and the connectors are in bulk i just need 1 or 2 so it will cross my tight budget
Secondly,the battery available there is 2200 mah and I need jus 1000mah battery

Akash,
I started in this hobby some 9 or so years ago just like that, and it is far better than spending hours on FMS type free simulators which I did at later times and found the first method is the better choice. IMHO FMS is a nice video game with virtually hundreds of plane choices and dozens of flying fields for free downloading which you can play with any RC Tx with trainer socket. I still play FMS whenever I wish but no free simulator can prepare you for the maiden flight enough. I don't know about Great Planes RealFlight or other such expensive simulators. Now I own good Radio systems and 11 hobby grade planes all imported but I never regret buying that 1st cheap toy type 2 ch RTF plane which taught me the basics in RC flying.
hii i am from guntur, new to hobby and very confused too. if you are in tenali currently, i would really like to meet you and get some hints, i am an engineering student in Acharya Nagarjuna University. please reply. your experince and suggestions would be very valuable in my college projects too.

Unless I'm totally lost and out of place regarding my query, I find most of the posts in this section on TX/ Rx via-a-vis Airplanes. So far I've been using salvaged  TX/ Rx units from damaged or discarded RC Toys, mostly cars for my boats. The basic electronics for to and fro motions and the steering system served my purpose well for boats. Now I want to move on in the 2.4GHz arena and was wondering if I can use FS CT6B 6-Channel for use in my new boats and ships? If I'm out of place here, will be grateful if I am redirected to the appropriate forum thread. Thanks in advance. :)
