hey guys i am just about to start with my aerial photography passion that recently developed

the steps are:

1. basic 720*480p video recording
2. as i have many gyros with me making a camera stabiliser system and plane stabilizer system too
3. after i perfect all of my these goals i am going in to FPV

fpv is my primary target and i have been doing a lot of research on them lately

anyways guys my first step investment is done and i have ordered a 14 gms 720*480p video cam resolution matters a i want good quality videos

so first step ofcourse get myself a super stable plane (like a glider) or make a stable plane super stable

so this is the plane i went in for

the easyfly rtf glider from hobby city

after reading the reviews this was my second choice after the axn floater jet which was out of stock

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7895

well i have to change the esc and have to test servos as per the reviews recommendation but i beleive it will be fine

yes it is a multiplex easyglider's clone

and then i have also ordered a video recorder for the job

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10973

and acc. to rcg and the hc reviews it will be good i presume

so just ordered this and a couple of ducted fans for gaurav bhaiya from hc through ems on friday morning and hence hoping to maiden it this saturday or sunday

subbu

a good video with the exact same setup as mine just that his is a multiplex easyglider

looking forward to the difference

subbu

Cool.. Yet another milestone for the great subbu  cant wait to see how this turns out.. Has anyone built a gyro stabilized mount here on RCIndia? I found this page quite interesting.. http://bergenrc.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=59

alright guys got my stuff shipped from hc today so it should reach india by thursday i guess its ems they say in 5 days

so today night on the plane tomorrow morning on the mumbai int airport and day after in customs is what i hope

or just shift the whole process one day more


subbu

Pikle6, I pray that you receive your package in 5 days.

Not trying to hi-jack your post    But, can you please please please please please inform  "sriharishine" and me when you receive your HobbyCity/HobbyKing order? 

I have placed an order on 6th April via EMS express that was shipped on 16th April and should have reached Kolkata, India by now. Online tracking has been showing "The item left Hong Kong for its destination" for the last 2 weeks. However, HC/Hk is telling me to continue waiting as due to the volcano in Iceland there are severe backlogs of cargo to all countries.

Thanks,
Ritesh

yes i will i have ordered before through ems too and as last time my order was placed on 30/4 and as the till 3 they had holiday they have shipped the item today that is good speed i beleive but i did call them to tell them to just give some priority to the parcel as it was urgent

anyways will inform you about every step

subbu

hey guys my parcel has arrived here in mumbai and will go to collect it on monday

subbu

Congrats Subbu,
Do you have to go to customs office in Mumbai to collect your package ? If so, then how did you know that they have your package? Today, The HokkyKing people told me (via chat) to inquire with my local customs.

Nonethless... I am for you.

-Ritesh

hi sethji

i just called the ems centre in mumbai and guess what they said it has cleared customs too and monday i will have it in my house and so no customs tooooo




subbu

call me if you need any help

at 9833036737

so does that mean we can order all kinds of planes from hobbycity ? would be great cause I have been eyeing a bird that I want to desperately buy..kindly confirm..

no i doesnot because gaurav bhaiyas batteries have gone through them too so might just depend on your luck go ahead and try it


subbu

hello to all the people here on india's premiere forum

MY COURIER FROM HC HAS ARRIVED

alright when i said in the earlier post that i might not have to pay customs and all that was actually a mistake the ems centre in india actually did a goof up and gave me some other consignments status so

yesterday i was supposed to get my parcel but i was hit by severe cold so well as i was grounded i asked my dad to get me the
plane and here i have it today in my hand and yeah he did pay 1100 rs as customs and i had declared 100% value to due many wrong invoice cases just to be on the safe side.

so everything is set ans i will post some pics today and yes i have made an unboxing video too

god soo many things

hang on guys uploading them now you really dont want to miss this


subbu

hey guys three photos of the box and rest are videos






subbu

rest will be uploaded tomorrow

sorry guys

subbu

you possibly meant subbu 

i will give you a guideline for ordering though you have ordered many a times but getting big parcels out of customs could be a trouble

1. please declare the total value that is 100% because recently many big couriers were siezed due to wrong invoices

2. please order only through ems for planes and big items i literally got the plane on the fifth day of my order (excluding the three chinese holidays)

3. there is no such thing as bribing or just faking to a customs officer, they know a lot about model aeroplanes
so just be truthful and if its for a school project mention it they give you some deduction on the customs

that is about it so godd luck i had talked to hobbycity people (and yes they very helpful) regarding axn floater's stock and they said that it would be restocked by end of may or mid june


good luck


subbu

hey guys finally got some of the pics uploaded

have look












subbu

COOL!! It would be fun holding a plane taller than you, even when you already made one youself!

Be careful putting the Decals if you are doing it for the first time.... watch some Videos

It must be very hot in Mumbai this year... I can see your AC running at 22* - my fav temp setting

truly it is

i wanted to paint the decals black with a permanent marker as i like it more than the stock orange

and yes this is my third plane which i am decaling i pretty much screwed up the e-starter and slowstick   
as i am not an art guy

need expert help in decaling the plane please help 

oh its burning here in mumbai and add to that i have cold so i am always in an ac room as doctor has adviced me not to shift from hot to cold environments so better the ac running at a decent temperature than the balcony 

subbu

hello pikle how much percentage of total money u paid as duty.

if its ok to share.

hey not a problem

i think my dad paid about 13 or 14% custom charges or less

but the good thing was that they were not bothered by seeing an rc airplane in the box just as if it was allowed

and also not worried about the small video recorder

subbu

Wow.. Thats a pretty big wingspan.. Why dont you get custom decals made from those people who do stickers for cars n bikes?
