007 RED Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I'm aware that if I have a drone I need to obtain permission/licence to fly it from the CAAT etc. I'm considering building a scale model warship and fitting it with a Radio Control system. Can anyone advise me if I require permission/licence to operate model RC equipment in Thailand. If I do, where do I go to obtain the permission/licence?

Several other sources have also indicated that a licence to operate RC equipment for model boats is not required, so it looks as though I may well rekindle an old hobby. I just need to find somewhere near where I live that has sufficient water to accommodate the model I'm proposing to build and will allow me to use their facility. That said, I expect that it'll be at least a year before needing a big pond though. Your models look nice. Do you have a club nearby, so that you can compete?

Sadly no, i am a lone sailor here, i sail in the sea from october to april when we have the higher morning tides and in a quarry the rest of the year The 6 year old 3xl is my every weather boat it has 3 sets of sails so can cope with most conditions virtually unsinkable an indestructible on the other hand the VO 65 has a working gennaker but is a more tender (problematic) creature. Having said that its only just arrived i bought it secondhand after it was not used for a few years its much cheaper than a new model but needs a bit of coaxing (especially with the return furler device)..we will overcome at some stage Both are hand built to order in germany by Stockmaritime... Yes expensive but my boys toys i used to have a real boat these are cheaper.. just about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
