Patience is the only thing i hate most....bt no choice

Hello as i was seeing hobbyking website i saw the radio Turnigy 9xr. Can we order without custom hassles And is it approved by wpc authority of india?

The same kind of radio, with the name FlySky FS-TH9X is available locally. Better buy it locally. No one can guarantee you NO CUSTOMS HASSLES.

And WPC hasn't type approved the radio as far as I know becoz I din't find it in the approved list available in WPC website.

No there is some difference between 9xr and fsth9x
Nairitb Aman already has a th9x.
Aman remember you would need a module like this http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__40205__OrangeRX_DSMX_DSM2_2_4GHz_DIY_Transmitter_Module.html or this http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__24656__OrangeRX_DSMX_DSM2_2_4Ghz_Transmitter_Module_JR_Turnigy_compatible_.html
to get this working

Oh I din't know that  my bad 

@ nairtb:- No problem For that.
@nitesh :- yes i do remember that.you reminded me.

Is it normal or im the only one suffering...my parcel have been sent to cusoms twice.....freaky...

Hi All,

Dear Customer,

We acknowledge your query regarding unable to use Axis Bank Debit Card at Paypal Site.

Thank you for writing to us.

Im unable to buy anything from Hobbyking due to this. Any alternates/Easier routes to do this. Any comments are always welcome.

Hobbyking accepts visa...

Hey v2 i searched in the net Paypal is a billonaire enterprises. And about 50% of the cusotmers have visa cards only.
Hobby king only accepts payments from credit card,paypal and western union.
Western union:- if sending some one money like any friend it is good.
But to websites like hobby king it is very risky.
And paypal do accepts visa cards. .
Make sure what address you have given to the bank matches to the address in your paypal account
Or it will be rejected.

So can we directly pay them instead of Paypal. Pardon my ignorance, ive started making online purchase only for this Hobby. and made purchase in Indian sites alone.

AK.

Debit Cards issued in India are not supported by Paypal due to RBI regulations. ICICI & HDFC Debit Cards are supported I heard.

Anyway, you can directly pay with your VISA Debit Card at HobbyKing using the Pay by Credit Card Link. You are charged 2.93% extra per transaction for this.

I was waiting all these months for this model to get listed at RCBazaar since Sujju bhai told me about it. However, I found out that it'll cost me around 14k if I buy from RCBazaar. Shipping is very costly here.

From HobbyKing, I get it for ~9k. Plus Customs (if any). So asking about customs rates, if anyone has paid on importing other planes also.

Okay, Let me Try that next Time.
And any Tips for Minimizing the Shipping Fee, i dont worry about getting it Late. any Slow but sure Way please. Last time i tried to order a 6 channel Radio and the Shipping charges were around 24$.

watch out while importing... though you ask yourself if it is worth waiting for months for your parcel to reach you.. or getting it it in 2 days....

nairitb wait for sometime rcbazzar is going to get a similiar model https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=588990584491753&set=pcb.588991464491665&type=1&theater so wait and don't order from hk

Hi nitech. RCBazaar has lauched this model named "The Parrot (2000mm) 5Ch FPV glider - PNP" 1-2 days ago. I was waiting for it since last 3 months. Sujju bhai told me about it in July.

But its price dampened my spirits. It'll cost me ~14k including shipping. Thats too high compared to HK's 9k (including shipping). Thats why I am asking if anyone imported ANY plane from HobbyKing so that I can know how much Customs Duty is charged.

I can wait for 2-3 months with the plane lying at Customs Depot and according to my calculations, Customs Duty should not be more than Rs2000 for this model.

I see
best of luck for your import

Thats good!
@ v2 yes every card is supported.and v2 please find some ways for shipping and customs. because i will also like to order.
