Majraj, Please ignore the earlier PM and above post, as I had not factored in the 10% discount. Total amount payable will be Rs.3108/- for the 26 gliders, inclusive of postage.

Recieved my package today. :) :) This is my first aeromodelling related courier :D

The packing was really good :) The tail of the mig 21 broke but i can fix it easily. Everything else was safe and sound. Thanks VC :)

Attaching pics of the packing -

Wow!! I see QuickFix in the last pic. This used to be the 'Balsa Cement' in the NCC workshop where I learnt Chuck gliders.

VC, where did you find them ? Is the pack new ? as I remember the Carton used to be orange in color!! That was ealy 90's I guess!!

All the best for the build Rajath!

I am trying to supply ready to build kits which contain Quickfix and Sandpaper. The Plasticene is causing problems as it is not available here.

Thanks once again for your support.

Plasticene serves the same purpose as clay right? Nose weight? Or is it for something else?  :headscratch:

VC

Plasticene is for the nose weight only. You should be able to source that in Bangalore easily.

Completed models with plasticene in place.

The first picture is of the Magpie. Awesome glide characteristics. Perhaps, the best flyer.

The second picture is of the Zephyr 2 which has an unusual empennage with a side mounted tail fin. The original Zephyr has a standard centre mounted vertical fin. Both fly equally well.

Will post a video soon.

VC you tempt me with those images. Alas i wont be able to start woek on them till next week as i have tests :(
You were right about the quality of mig and hunter kits being better.

I use kids clay for weight - red, yelloy,blue and green :D. Bought one for Rs.18 some time back. Got a ship, tree and flower clay shape maker :D FREE!!! :D Burst out laughting when i found it inside!

VC

Rajath, I would like to buy 5 packs of the clay URGENTLY. can you arrange it for me if I pay you in advance? Please let me know.

Respected VC,

Would you please link the thread of your earlier post to sand and adjust of the glider parts and fixing with ribbon.

Is your students sand the wing  with sandpaper by hand support? I use Hard back support behind sandpaper to avoid oversanding. Diamond file sets works well. As, my Cam is not at present with me,  cannot post just right now the photographs.

Friends, I got two glider as gifts from VC and a lot thanks to VC.
But SAD, as he has not give his mailing address so that at least I can send greetings card to HIM.

Please PM me your mailing address Vikramaditya-Da.
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

VC

Let's not discuss gifts in public. Recently, I have received a a gift that will remain a treasured possession as long as I live. However, I can't disclose any details right now as I wouldn't want this person to be swamped by "Please Sir, I also want one" requests. It can become quite embarrassing. Kalyan, in future, please refer to me simply as VC. Epithets such as 'Respected' are best reserved for the stalwarts on this forum who really deserve it.

I can't seem to find the thread about sanding and finishing, please check with RajathV8. I think he was the one who had posted a detailed build log of one of the gliders that he bought from me.

You may sand using free hand techniques, but using a Sanding Block (I use Hard back support behind sandpaper to avoid over sanding) is a much better idea.

All the best!

VC sir regarding the nose weight ( i missed the last posts  :banghead: :banghead:) you can get a similar clay in the glass shop, the clay is used for windows , we call it " LAMBI" in marathi... its oily and doesnot dry but is effective as weight option as it is heavy compared to size....
