Thats Aweeesome Sandeep!!!  :bow: :bow: And please call it 'Plan Cut' and not kit built as you seem to have cut the balsa yourself.

Its a very good looking plane!

One advice. You fuse might need some more re-enforcement in form of triangular/rectangular spars. Are you planning to leave the under chambers open with the ribs ? putting 2mm balsa at the bottom would greatly improve lift and reduce profile drag.

Great t see people going back to drawing broads instead hitting the road again or ARF.

But would change the airfoil from under cambered to flat bottom.

Sandeepm, please tell us where is Sarkar Hobby located in Kolkata ? I have been searching for such stores in the city...with no luck apart from India Hobby Center... Thanks in advance!

SETHJI : I have also searched a lot for Sarkar hobbies...but couldnt find the location or address or any sort of contact information.   
i doubt if Sarkar Hobbies exists now. Indian Hobbies might have some old stock with them.

Nehutech :
I will not cut the windows and will keep it as it is as of now..i havent planned anything for this bird..but yes wil use electric in this, but when i dont know....I have faced many difficulty in understanding the way to build this bird, although Plan came along but description of parts is not mentioned properly....
will see if i can get contact info of sarkar model from Indian hobbies....

Sarkar Models certainly exists.
A lot of balsa kits sold to NCC and all the Indian Control line wire (I have used) is sourced from him.
I have met Mr. Sarkar at the Race Course at Kolkata. I am not sure if he directly sells. His kits are available at Emerald hobby centre chennai.regards,

Honestly, I think it is the people at India Hobby Center (Kolkata) that have acquired the brand names and now make these kits themselves.

I say this is because last week, I visited the store and saw a poster on the shop-wall with all kinds of balsa models from Aurora and Sarkar. I inquired, if they had any of these models in store... and was told that they were in short supply of Balsa and the delivery of these kits can take 2-4 weeks. But, if I confirmed, then they can get me the kit earlier. As such, seems like these  models are made by IHC !

Anyways, these are just my thoughts... No offense to anyone.

india hobby centre will cut the kit to your order from templates. so confirm your order a few days before u go to collect your kit.
