"Something is better than nothing"

You guys are majorly confused    This seems to be just a few items RC Sky Hobby has put on eBay.  Their online store is pretty well stocked.

Anwar to answer your question... We are not too shy... but, only a handful are left... Aero Modeling in Kolkata is disappearing... Or, that is what I have felt in the last 6 months in the city... I wish, we had more resources for the RC enthusiasts in Kolkata...

- The India Hobby Center (Russell St) offers some spares and RTFs - though their high prices make most people scarred and never to return back...
- Aurura Engines & Models does not have a retail front and they DO NOT have an office/factory at the address that we found online (15 Shakesphere Sarani, Kolkata)... I emailed them, and was told to contact Indian Hobby Center people...
- Anwar Models is way to expensive... however, he too needs to earn a living...
- In Chandni Market, there is a shop called "Gemini Electronics" - they sell motors, crystals, transmitters... but only during the IIT Kharakpur competition time...
- Kadel Models - No storefront or ready inventory... they were VERY HELPFUL with advice and guidance... but are not in the RC plane business anymore... they design some UAV for the army.

If you guys meet somewhere to exchange ideas or fly your RC/free flight models in Calcutta... then.. please post locations... then we could all meet-up !

I have posted a similar list of Hobby Shops in India with additions on my blog for other RC enthusiasts from India... www.indiahobby.blogspot.com - Can I include a link/image to the RCindia website?

Sethji is right not only me but some of my friends also visited India Hobby Center Kolkata we were all blown away by their prices, they are our ONLY source in RC here in the North east.

Sethji - Welcome to RC India  And love the fact that I can address you as is, the "ji" is included

Thanks for taking time to respond on detail. And please feel free to include a link (or even a write up) about RC India on your blog.  We have started listing all hobby fields in the country (http://www.rcindia.org/rc-locations-and-clubs/mega-list-of-rc-fields-locations-clubs-in-india/), but we are still waiting for proper maps from most places.  I request your assistance in listing any RC field in your vicinity.

Overall, there is more awareness and access to the hobby in recent years.  But it still is a fairly expensive affair.  Things like Hobbycity do make it somewhat affordable, but that is at the expense of local hobby stores. Looks like it will remain a hobby which is NOT for the masses for a while.

What would change the picture is class room level introductions with follow ups by dedicated trainers who are willing to help out with initial setup and training.

On the other hand, both in India and in other parts of the world, I do see 3 channels helis are one of the most common toy store items.  Some of the people who use them may move closer to RC.  But there also most people try to fly them, and when they crash, they just throw them away like most people did with remote controlled toy cars.

I agree with Anwar (ji)     Aero Modeling will gather momentum if introduced in the classroom... This could be part of the Physics curriculum... in Grade 8-10... and those interested will pursue the hobby beyond the school campus... (just a thought, I am not part of NCERT / ICSE board !)

It has been a expensive hobby... and thus out of reach of many... Many online store are making it affordable... However, some Indian hobby stores/enthusiasts are also trying to bring to masses... i don't remember the name of the business... but there is a Mr. Menon from Kerala... he is teaching aero-modeling to the youth and then providing them with RTF kits (for a fee of course!) ... the students then become teacher and then re-sell the RTF kits to others...

I have not ordered anything from an Indian Online store as yet... but when I contacted them...I think RCforall... (via Ebay Stores)... with product related questions... they were prompt to respond...

Saw this else where.  Can anyone confirm that this is a functioning hobby store, so that we can add it to the list ?

Must be rehosting the site, Shop is very much intact. They import Tornado fuel for cars, helis and aircraft and dealers for Thunder Tiger

Sandeep, does Mr. Pinto still supply ship models to the NCC? In that case can you pl give me his number?

ModelArt Helis-- did some search in US based hobby shops/heli shops- The 3ch helis that gets marketed as ModelArt is from a CN/TW manufacturer who sells the same model as Phoenix in the US. 'ModelArt' is not listed as a manufacturer anywhere. One thing that i like is that they almost always keep spares for all the planes they sell. The 4Ch and above aones in stock are from some popular brands.
