Hey Guys ,
I have 2 airplanes here that I want to give-away .
1) Mariner 40 Floatplane
2) Balsa USA Northstar

The Mariner has a OS AX55 and servos its RTF
The NorthStar has servos in it , Im not sure about the engine, It needs some repair

I will NOT SHIP ANYWHERE !
For collection ONLY in Bombay by appointment.
This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to try out float flying
Please send me a PM only if interested

Such a great goodwill gesture Santosh sir!
Wish I were in Bombay!! The Northstar is making me drool!

All the best Mumbites!!

I can't believe someone would be so generous to giveaway an entire plane! 

Edit: Didn't read properly and missed the PM only request by xantos, so post modified.

Even i wish i were in mumbai... can you give it to me if i pay for shipping?

 ... good work going on here...

This is not the first time that this gentleman has exhibited this kind of kindness. Unbelievable but true.

VC  stop making me sound like Santa Claus !
OK Guy's here's the deal with these 2 planes.
Both were built by me to a very good standard however I don't see myself flying these aircraft anywhere in future and my storage space is at a premium , these planes were living in a friends garage and have been evicted from their home therefore Im giving them away.
With this background , please bear in mind flying off water is a technique  and not for beginners, you need to be proficient with atleast aerobatic low wingers before you try your hand at this , although Im giving them away i'd still wish somebody who really needs it and is capable enough gets it.
Therefore please don't mind if I ask some questions before I choose whom to give the airplanes to.

fair enough..

I would love to have but don't have waterbody near.
Great.

Nandan

that's one exceptional gesture there.
 
For all and sundry !

get these aeroplanes while you can, both have good flying characteristics

Great, Nandan. Just hope you know whom NOT to give it to, like the mistake I made

i wish i could be in mumbai. both are great planes for me... 
sir i would be highly obliged if you courier these to me... i am really in need of such great pplanes...

Sir my exams are going on right now so couldn't come to mumbai... i am a student and a beginner. Gaurav Agarwal Sir also told me about you. If possible please courier me or otherwise i would come to mumbai...

dammit....!! i was in Mumbai yest.... left last night..

Dear Mr. Xantos ,

I would like to have both the models if no body have booked it till now . I can come to Mumbai and collect it.
It will be a great pleasure to have these models. I will realy appreciate your response .

Warm regards

Kiran

Hi Guys ,
Just a quick update .
The Mariner 40 is picked up by Mr Ankur Kaul from Pune
Im still left with the NorthStar.
Thanks for the many PMs you guys sent , but please guy if you dont mind pl include a line on what you guys fly currently and what is your level of proficiency so that I can quickly make up my mind
Thanks

I practically live next to the ocean... sea planes would be a lot of fun to fly!

prateek! u picking them up?? if yes then how?

I am not!

Hi sir, is the north star still finding its new home ? I know I am asking it too late but just thought of taking a chance to know

Both are still with me Ankur never turned up

Wow , I am so glad to know .. Bcoz we have a wonderful lake in kolkata and it's fun to fly in here.. In that case may I get ur number , so that I can have a work with u .. I have been longing to posses a n amphibian..

I can surely come over and collect it in Mumbai but will need to plan it ..

HEY xantos

I have a  lake near my place....

can come n pickup on any weekend.
