since i dont have COD, i paid upfront, if ends up to be a sticker sending it to vishvesh for free

even  if it is not COD u  can ask for refund stating that it is not as  mentioned in the specs....

if u wanna send it here.... my arms are always open to brace any thing .....

PS: did u get the package...??

In the quotes below is one of my many letter to them about including RC item in their inventory. I believe they already have a small management team working on this and regularly visit RcIndia. So if they start selling RC then I'm gonna go ahead and take full credit

This is a suggestion. I build/fly radio control airplanes for a hobby. This hobby has been in the country for over 50 decades but have recently started picking up. I have been in this hobby for four years and have seen it grow rapidly. Initially we had to buy everything from US/Germany/China but now lots of online hobby shops have started in the country which has made equipment and hobby parts affordable. I noticed that flipkart has started add different category of products to it Catalog and this thought crossed my mind 'what if flipkart started selling RC(radio control) products. I don't have time right now but will be happy to provide more info if required. I request you to take a look into this segment, if things workout, thousand of hobbyist will have a good place to shop RC hobby parts. Bellow is a link to India's biggest aeromodelling forum http://www.rcindia.org/ Below are some links to most popular RC hobby shops in India http://www.rcdhamaka.com/ http://www.rcbazaar.com/

Typo.

I spoke with their Customer Support Executive who transferred my call to their Sales Support Team. I queried the Align T Rex and wanted to know what exactly it was. They called me back after two hours to say that it was a "battery operated, radio controlled Helicopter." I then queried if the picture was of the actual product and what was the size of the Helicopter. "I will check all details and get back to you within some time." Still waiting for the call...........

Vc sir, any updates on that? Morning i ordered it, then cancelled it thinking i would end up with a sticker   . . If it is really what is there in the picture then voila !!! Jackpot !

I think you guys need a dose of cold reality here - there is absolutely no way
that you are going to get an Align TRex for that kind of money.

This is just wishful thinking

At best it is a cheap IR 3 Ch Heli which is on offer.

yes but I'm still gonna take the credit 
Its will take them some time to get there, but it will be huge when they arrive 

It'll be hard to surpass the standards set by RCD and RCB but let's hope they work as well as the aforementioned LHSes.

http://www.align.com.tw/shop/product_info.php?cPath=22_25&products_id=3985

May be this is the one for sale ? but again why the price is 1400 ?

to every one......

JUST KEEP UR MOUTH SHUT AND RECEIVE THE FIRST BATCH.... and i know i am  shouting

they are a big company and have done their  homework....!!

if u are so  much worried  dont buy.... or wait until others get their hands on.....
y u want  to loose a  chance of  getting such an item at  such a less price....

looks like i made a mistake of posting the link in  the first place... should have kept it to my self.....

if u wanna ask just query.... no need to give them suggestions.....

DON'T SPOIL THE FUN.......

SLS: nice  work...

So, who's going to bell the cat? Who will take one for the team?

I will.... done that  last time....  did not go well....  this time it will..... 

Did it too! All the best to us.

i am wondering, how will i fly two TRex hundreds together with the nine eagles or will i have to stick two Trexs to the back of my car and do "vehicle pull alongs"

I ordered again :

Take cash instead!

Tips on How to Stop Being Sarcastic

This was certainly not sarcasm but just a light hearted play on "credit / cash".

If this seems hurtful, in any way, to anyone, I apologise .  My sensibilities appear to be, possibly, far removed from reality, if this was construed as something unpalatable and I would, therefore, be constantly having to worry on what and what not to say/ comment on.

Ahh! never mind, looks like I over processed and I apologise for it.

So, we were talking Flipkart & RC  

GO FOR IT!!!!


Just got relevant details from Mr. Aman, an extremely polite and helpful person, of Flipkart.

IT IS the ALIGN TREX 100

Length : 202 mm
Height: 82 mm
Main Rotor Dia 192 mm
Tail Rotor Dia : 36 mm
Flying weight : 32 grams

Exact Package contents will be available shortly.

Now, who is buying and how many?
