I am new to this forum.
This is my first RC plane.
I have made my plane with thermocol which is readily available in stationery stores in india.
Covered it with newspaper and mixture of fevicol and water(same quantities of both).
I don't know much about Electronics . ???
Please help me about which electronics I may use and from where to get them. [ P.S. - I stay in Mumbai ]
I want to reduce the price of the electronics as it is my first RC Plane but not compromising on speed or quality.
Thank you in advance.

Here are some pics >> :)

keep spare props first time u might break a few :)

soham10

Okay ! I'll buy spares  ;)

And how do I paint , any suggestion ?

rcrcnitesh

most of the items I listed are out of stock but you could always ask the dealer when will they be in stock
and for the battery you should not exceed 1800mah you will get plenty of flight time with that

any paint which you get in stationery shop
warning paint will increase weight
