Title: Flying in and around Kolkata Post by: saikat on July 31, 2024, 09:37:27 PM Hi Guys - been a long time. Nice to see the old gang still active. I've been having a hectic few years , so not been able to
build and fly as much as I'd like to. However all that's changed - and I've decided to hang up my boots (partially). So the nub of it is that I have now relocated to Kolkata proper and want to get in touch with any one who's building and flying model airplanes. So thats it for now ... looking forward to meeting fellow aero modellers here.

Welcome Back to Kolkata. Even I have came back to kolkata after 8 years of service outside kolkata. Title: Re: Flying in and around Kolkata Post by: saikat on August 05, 2024, 05:56:23 PM Hi Sir
All the models are piles of balsa / fibre glass in Assam - cost of carting them to Kolkata was too much. Got all my engines , radios, servos, - also enough balsa and kits for about 100 models. Main issue is where I stay in Kolkata(Salt Lake) is a sort of a no fly zone as its near the airport. so looking for a flying site before I start making new ones. Title: Re: Flying in and around Kolkata Post by: saikat on August 05, 2024, 06:02:15 PM Another pleasant surprise - went to Chandni market recently and found shops selling radios , rcvr and servos at cheap prices.
Most colleges have robotics as a course so the shops must have started stocking them. also googled and found radios by radiomaster being sold online in India at quite reasonable prices.

@saikat I would like to join you in your search for a flying site. PM me if you think two heads are better than one. I am pretty close to Salt lake myself. |
