See if this is of interest

36" Yak12. With motor, prop, ESC, 4 servos (ailerons, flaps, elevator, rudder)
Needs a 500-1000 mah 2s lipo and Rx to fly.


K K Iyer

Or this Sunbird 60"

With 2 servos for rudder and elevator, motor, prop and ESC.

Needs only 500-1000mah 2s lipo and Rx to fly

K K Iyer

For packing, I'll have to remove the tailplane by cutting/ungluing.
But not hard to reattach.

K K Iyer

Comments are welcome from members who have seen videos of these models flying...

K K Iyer

Or this.
Amazingly easy to fly.
4s lipo included. Needs only Rx.
A bit more expensive than the others though...

K K Iyer

In case you're wondering,
I have a lot of models hanging on the wall.

If someone takes them, Ican start building the many models waiting in boxes!

K K Iyer

@babu.talamanchi,
I expect around 5k + shipping for the Yak or Sunbird.
Before you respond, you can consider these alternatives in similar price range

I still have the original box and packing of the Yak!

@v2 eagle
Hi Ashok,
Good to hear from you.
The Tiger Moth cost about 12k, the 4s lipo about 2k.
RCBazaar charged me about 2k for shipping.
Just weighed the original box - it's 2.8kg empty!

Make me an offer I can't refuse...

@babu.talamanchi.
In view of the lack of response, I guess
1. My models too expensive, or
2. You liked the other alternatives I suggested, or
3. Your budget can't support either of the above.

There are ways of starting on a low budget.
Depends on the stuff you already have, like Tx/Rx, lipo, charger, motor, prop etc.
Possible even if you have none of these, and are starting completely from scratch.

If youlet me know what you have, and your budget, I may be able to suggest the way ahead.
Regards

@v2 eagle,
@manojswizera,

That Tiger Moth gets to fly only about once a year. So she is looking for a more active pilot!

Do you think I got the Tiger Moth without dreaming of it for years?
Dreaming of a Dakota now...

Dear Friend and RC enthusiast, I don't think you will get anybody like Mr. Iyer, who is willing to help you so much to get you started in this hobby.   :hatsoff: Hats off to Mr. K.K. Iyer for all the efforts.  This hobby itself is costly but now a days one has many options to choose from.  The suggestions in the post are very good for starting your own RC hobby.  I would suggest you buy the 36” Yak12 for starting your adventure/venture in this hobby.


K K Iyer

Wow!
Thanks for the kind words, especially from someone I don't even know!

Maybe I should restart lending stuff like motor, ESC etc to newbies, (even a Tx/Rx in one case), a practice I stopped due to the follow up required to get the stuff back. One would expect a return in say 4-8 weeks without reminders!

Meanwhile another beginner has asked for the Yak...

More in a day or two.

@Kk
That sunbird is a balsa kit? 😍 I haven't started flying with fixed wings yet. Is there any way to ship planes outside India?😜

K K Iyer

@saikibian,
Welcome to the forum.
I don't think there should be any problem in shipping parts/ kits.

If you are a beginner in fixed wing, and tell me the equipment you have, ie, TxRx, motor, prop, ESCs, servos, I could suggest something suitable...

Regards

Sakibian

@K K lyer
I'm honoured.
Currently I use flysky fs i6. I have some esc's (20A and 30A), ad I have 3 blade 5inch props , 5040 pitch which I used in my 5inch quad. Very nice props.
I think I better fly a tiny trainer, I guess? Or a soarer/glider

K K Iyer

@saikibian,

Perhaps you could look at this thread...
http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/indore-bipe-a-model-for-newcomers/msg176609/#msg176609

For the Sunbird, you could look at this...
http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/sunbird/msg239836/#msg239836

But you didn't mention your motor!

Regards

Sakibian

@K K lyer


Don't have one yet. I mean for the fixed wing actually. Was busy in New boat construction. But I have a plan to buy a 1806 2300kv .

Yak 12 booked for Bessie...
Stab I'd stuck on with only 4 spots of hot glue. So easy to dismantle and put back in original box.

Interest shown in Tiger Moth by v2 eagle and madaquif.
Await their price expectations.
As I said earlier, cost me about 12k plus about 2k for 4s lipo plus about 2k shipping from RCB.
And I've to see how to dismantle stab and fin without major surgery...

If weather permits, I'll do demo flights of both this Sunday, on video!

Sunbird tail parts are also hot glued. So can be dismantled...

Here's a Sunbird video. See power cut around 22sec. Then in lift!


K K Iyer

All three together...

K K Iyer

Different angle...

@K K

The sunburn flies really great! You built it perfectly. What was your power pack in this flight?
