Staples sells foam kits. I noticed:

1. rubber powered gliders 35cm wing span with electric rubber winder for Rs. 900 (su and stuff)
2. Foam chuck gliders ~30cm w/s for 225 (mig)
3. Larger foam chuckies - Rs.450 (mig, f-22, f-15 etc)
4. Rubber winder - Rs 225

Saw these at Ring-road and near Forum  outlets.

I have nothing to do with these. Just providing info.

Search for "aeromodelling" on their site:

I have also seen these gliders at their J.P Nagar store.

Though I find them priced at higher side.

Yup but its too tempting to buy them. I never go to staples alone for this reason

Wow!! I wonder how I missed to share the same. The site does no have pics, but I am sharing the same. the build is not tough, and I would more suggest for Static display,  though one could put small motor around.This was taken at Staples near Forum/St John's Hospital Bangalore circa late 2009.

I am also sharing some Kites I saw at Decathlon store on Sarjapur Road (http://www.decathlon.in/)
Priced between 800-1600

Hi Ujjwaana,
Nice pictures, I have not seen Guillow's models at their J.P Nagar store, I wonder if they are still available with them.

Not every body can shop at Decathlon, you need to be registered to shop at their store.

I luckily have a membership. Drop any week end if you want to buy something...

Nice Kites: http://www.decathlon.in/surfing&cid=292

The CF arrrow shafts are good as a fuse, but the membership clause is a big big bummer!!

It's quite easy to get membership of this store, as long as you own a business or know some body who owns a business.

Kites should be available at many places in Bangalore, As Bangalore have it's own Kite festival.

I bought Dozens of them from City Market in 10th of that price.
