you could try. be prepared to loose it

Sir what if getting in something like a phantom??

Just do one thing, get a big travel bag and fill 25% of it with clothes, now keep the quad carefully and then fill the rest of the bag with clothes ( for protection of the quad) .
2 Things can happen:

1) They would think its a laptop type thing when x raying the bag and would let it pass.
2) During the arrival, just go through the 'green channel' and pass with confidence when the officer is nearby, he shouldn't suspect that you have anything.

And even if the worst happens, just say that its a toy for your little brother.

And, no matter what, do not carry the original packaging or anything like it that may 'educate' the officer about the quad.

And it should work. I travel internationally every 4-6 months and I almost always bring something remote controlled.
And i haven't been asked "What is that thing" even once. Always works and as a plus point, it always has that "khatron kai khiladi" feeling xD

rcbazaar.com

quadkopters.com
rcdhamaka.com
ebay.in

Are best places to get the right product.   To know about other places check for the polls(like this one http://www.rcindia.org/rc-outlets-and-resellers/best-hobby-shop/ )... having a huge list of RC hobby stores.
Moreover most of them are active members from the forum itself.
So you can blindly trust them.
They have been in forum and business from long enough time.

And searching for a topics will not only give you more info about the topic but the related stuff as well. So keep googling.
(Although i agree on the part that asking from a forum member[Experienced people] can give you a better insight ). But one should search for similar threads before creating a duplicate thread.

By the way, you may ask them to buy a product on your behalf.( They may help you. Because they have already got clearance and they are already paying the extra charges) So getting one more product wont matter to them....
Paying little extra to them would be alot better than getting into trouble with customs nd bribing officials later on(not recommended at all) .

Guys is bringing FPV headsets like FatShark banned? Thinking about getting one from the US through a friend.

Whenever you buy. Do tell us, how much it costed you.
(You can buy from ebay.in though.......)

Hello

Good to read that only Radio equipment needs WPC approval.

Recently my parcel from China which contained one motor, one ESC, 12 propellers & other hardware like bolts & such things was detained by customs. They asked for DGCA NOC because it contained "Drone Parts" & were restricted items. I had to declare that they were not drone parts & DHL people could release it after 11 good days.

Is it proper action of customs officer to ask for DGCA NOC?

Thanks for telling me about kinetic hobbies. Now I have found another site which has cheap rc planes. Just tell the admin of the site to get more rc models.

RC planes completely banned from China. But You can still import from western countries.

I have not faced any problems importing any RC parts from HK, UK and USA via fedex and DHL. The parts were labelled samples and sent by the shippers and they were not stopped by customs. My most recent package with 20+ lipos has been stopped but according to DHL it should get cleared within 48 hours.

so will my SYMA S39 2.4G 3CH RC helicopter with Gyro LED lights aluminum remote 100M control ,which i ordered on ALIEXPRESS for my 6year old nephew will b cleared or confiscated by bangalore customs? since 40 days they r holding it. i visited the bangalore office and official told me it will not b released.

I wonder what is the problem here in India... as my friends from Canada are ordering multiple radios & electronics from China & other countries without any problem... and the parcel arrives at their door steps..
