Ian, all the best for your engine. Just not transferring money, our country has too many rules that getting a Transmitter legally is big hassle.

For others around Bangalore and elsewhere in the country, Mr Sampath of 'New India Hobbies' in Ulsoor, Bangalore has couple of Sharma engines. Please inquire him as well.

Yes , we changed it to Mr Sharma (person to person) and they still wouldnt cough up.......it doesnt matter any more , I have done a bank transfer.......

Yes for the future it would be nice to know of stores in India that have a web site and take Paypal or a credit card , does anyone know of sutch shops...
Ian

There are many such shops here, but not with Sharma products

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-outlets-and-resellers/mega-list-of-all-rc-outlets-in-india/

The simplest for shops like Sharma may be setup an eBay shop.  I believe people like Sai  (rcforall.co.in) are doing business with international customers quite easily with his eBay shop (http://stores.ebay.in/rcforallin).

ian a friend of mine is traveling to Australia, i'll tell him to carry it for you, that'll be in jun, you can pay me later, after you get it, let me know. he can leave it with somebody in Melbourne

Thanks for your offer , but I have paid for the engines and postage.......

Ian

Yes all these money transfer companies can only be used by Indians working abroad to send money to support friends and family as there is no tax involved. Paypal could be used earlier but I think there is a restriction on that too.
I spoke to Vivek and he did explain that as he has experienced several problems on transfer issues he always advises his customers to transfer money via bank transfer and bank transfer only.... I wonder if postal orders work??
Glad to know Ian has finally managed to place his order. I hear, Vivek has offered a little something extra to compensate for Ian's loss even though the loss was due to no fault on Vivek's part....

Thanks Vivek for looking after us Aeromodellors..... I am sure the engines you supply Ian will generate enough business to offset the parts you are giving to Ian FOC..

Yes  that is very appreciated from MR Sharma......some compensation for a real saga....

contrary to common belief, Clinical Ether, Kerosene and Castor,,since when this concoction is called diesel ? Rudolf Diesel must be tossing in his grave

Gusty,
It is not the fuel (mix of ether/castor/kero) which is called diesel but the engine, for the simple reason that it is a compression ignition engine as in true diesel engine.

I'm using Sharma Diesel engine since 1991 while I joined Air Wing NCC, even I've used Aurora engines. We used to use them for Free flight, Control Line Aerobatic, Control Line Speed models and even we used them on glider. NCC is still using Sharma Diesel Engines for Control Line Aerobatic models, because compare to Glow engines they have less power  which is good for teaching flying to new NCC cadets. I love smell of Diesel fuel especially after burn smell but I really hate smell of after burn glow fuel. But it is true because they don't have any muffler so it makes too much mess so you're right about apron.

Rajib Da,
Did you mean that glow is less powerful than diesel or did you mean what you have written (highlighted)?

Thought As much, esp the start, as we speak, my NC (Not exactly sahayak ) is sitting with Vivek , i want to try building the Kaiser Kit, will post a log on it, except fro the fact that it is messy and in a RC Model throttle response aint good, sharma eng are superb.

Another Consumable less

 A helicopter carby with mid range mixture control will slove all the throttling problems with Diesels , my Irvine 40 diesel has instantaneous response to RPM change , I fitted an Enya 30 carby to it and when the mid range is tuned  , it is unbelievable
true story

Ian

Gusty, I guess you have a direct connection to Jodhpur. Talk of privlages of the fly boys!!! :-)

i swear, it will be flown in by the AN, 2mrw, along with some Kair Sangri, Believe that!!, planning a gas engine with a walby carb from Sharma, (somebody has got to be the guinea pig)

Ker Sangri straight and fresh from Raj.. Yummy! Guess we had some dirrect connection from Chennai.

Dear Ian,
Did you get the engine? I ahve a friend at melbourne, and i had a word regarding payment issues. If u doesnt succeed up in your payment,or if you need further transactions, He can be helpful.

Abhay

I was looking for something else, but was spellbound by this sequence.

What happened finally?

Could the Australian buyer get his engines?

!!!

Sharma product engines are so economical

I agree with iwincar on the attractive price of Sharma engines.

It seems they have a good reputation too for being well-built engines. Something to be proud of.

Wish they find a means of selling better and responding better to individual purchases, coping with the laws of the land.

To come back to my question, does anybody know:

Could the Australian buyer get his engines?
