Have no experience of ebay :(
Cost seems to be USD 1 each for motor and Esc.
Plus shipping USD 7 for motor and USD 6 for Esc  :headscratch:

The parts are dirt cheap on ebay , Iyer sir, I bought all my parts for the quadcopter from Ebay, (you can find details in the build thread).
If one is lucky enough, can get really cool deals by bidding,
Like, This : http://www.ebay.com/itm/390977798344?_trksid=p2060778.m2750.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I got those 4ESC by bidding, but now don't have money to buy it, will do in some days,But problem is I don't need all, looking for partners to buy !!!

And also , I got 4x 2212/13T 1000Kv motors for 25$ and free shipping !!!

@nilharsh,
Regarding connectors:
I would NOT recommend soldering connectors to a lipo to a newcomer to the hobby.
One small mistake and poof. Min damage - dead lipo, max damage - explosion!

As you progress to bigger motors, you'll need to shift to XT60s, as many batteries, esp HK, now have them

But for your present low power need, JST (Rs 15 a pair) is enough.

Yesterday i got a Turnigy 2s 1500mah 25-35C for Rs 550 from Adiboy. It has a JST.
So i am going to put a JST on the Esc (same Esc as in Donkey 2204 combo)

BTW, beyond a point more discussion leads to potentially more confusion.
So just go ahead and make a decision based on suitability, availability, time frame and price.
Best of luck.

@nilharsh,
I fear that my last post has made you stop posting.
The purpose was to stop talking and start building/flying.

My sister from Pune is here and returning on Monday.
If you tell me what electronics you have already got, i could lend you the rest for a week or two.
Use it for testing / test flying.
Anything you damage, you can replace/ pay for, rest you can return after a few days.

This is what i do with local newcomers, never before with outstation candidates!
Regards

Thank you so much sir
I had to complete some important project submissions in my college so I didn't have time to post reply or buy anything.
Also I paid my pocket money for my college fees so I didn't have money to electronics.
So I thought I put it on hold.
But since you are helping me I will complete the build.
Now I don't have any of electronics not even tx rx but if you're lending me I'm forever grateful to you
Thank you very much sir.
I didn't expect you to help from way back indore, you're GREAT,

@nilharsh
40w motor for 2s lipo, new 10amp ESC, and two new HXT900 servos reached Pune.
Contact my nephew. See sms for phone number.

Strongly recommend you seek help from local flyers.
I understand people fly near Panhard Club (near RC Bazaar).

If you want professional guidance, contact Shri Sandeep Bajare (sbajare on this forum). Don't know his fee, but have seen his trainees fly successfully. Safest option, instead of diving into the deep end without any instructions. (They fly near AFMC)

#116
Dihedral
Wing in the pic below is 30" span, has about 6cm under each tip.
This is too much for you, 3-4cm under each tip enough.
The wing has slight undercamber like yours, about 3mm concave on the bottom.

Mark centre of leading and trailing edges. Connect with a pencil line. Ensure 90deg to LE.
Cut the wing into two.
Prepare a sanding block by sticking sandpaper to a piece of wood or a foot ruler with gum or rubber solution. Use fine sandpaper, number 120 or more.

Hold the freshly cut edge of the wing along the edge of a table/glass pane.
Sand a very slight tilt. Alternatively hold the wing with the tip supported about 3 cm up and sand the edge vertical.
Repeat on other wing half.
Must use a sanding block. Freehand not accurate enough.
Ensure that the edges match. Tape them together at the bottom.
When kept flat a groove will be visible on the top.
Lift one wing to ensure that the groove closes neatly.
Open the gap and apply Araldite Clear 5min epoxy. Close gap and hold.
I dont think hot glue is good enough for this joint.

Edit: Pics attached

Okay sire,
Understood at last after reading 3 times. :P
Will do the same. :thumbsup:
I wonder will araldite would be enough to hold the wings together.  :headscratch:
What else do I use for reinforcement

Do not exceed 280gms for this size wing.
Araldite joint should be enough.

Caution:
Motor is 5amp, 40watt with 8x4 prop on 2s lipo.
A 3s lipo or a prop larger than 8x4 will burn the motor in 1-2 minutes.

(Yes, Intruder. From Hellyflyer. Rs 1700)
