Is anyone here selling an ARF and willing to ship it to Indonesia?
Looking forward to seeing 35-40 sizes planes.
Thank you!

The problem, Kafin, isn't necessarily there willingness to send to Indonesia, it is the box size!
Once a box is more than 36 inches USPS won't send it. Sorry, that isn't quite right. Up to 36 inches it is say, $65-$85US for shipping. Over 36" $250+.
I have a Strega ARC, but it is heavy! Delivery from Australia is about $95AUD, Say 1,000,000 Rupiah.

Yeah, that’s exactly what prevented me getting Brodak P40, the box is too big for the ‘reasonable’ shipping cost to Indonesia. They said, it used to be up to 42 inches,which is the size of P40 box, for the US $85.

If you set yourself up with a FOAM CUTTER / Hot Wire Bow , you could stamp out straight wings by the dozen .
Cut the outer , skin & sand . Fire a hot rod through , refit templates and ' core ' out ! .
tooling uo gets you STRAIGHT reasonable price desposable VD~ wings , and tailplanes , flaps , elevators etc .
Not to mention molds for decking .
Parently 3lb virgin foam is required . Im notta foam fan , BUT , its a cost effective walk in the park .
Typical U . S. 70s & 80s designs nearly all used these .
Can you get Estapol 7008 over there ? effictive finish ! .
====================================================================
A typical; foam set up , design . maybe .

Straight wings like Peacemakers & Orientals are easy - One Piece . If you get the set up right .
Or the wire pulls in & they go bowed inward . Hideous ones covered in cardboard get 20 / 22 Oz peacemakers .
Yin Yans find this a bit much .

Bout where youd start , something like . nuther ' Mr Foam Wing ' device . Bob Hunt .

Obviously , If Control Line is growing in Indonesia , you could make a ' Bob or Two ' if you put your mind to it .
The straightforwardness off building , with ready done stuff gets the troops fed and going .
