Radio Control Aircraft

[Disavowed]

Hi:

I am looking for a store in the mall for electronics goods near Indra Hotel (forgot the name of the mall-its a big one though). Its a store that sells radio control model airplane parts. If someone can direct me I would be very happy.

Thanks,

Randy

Are you Talking about that Little shop accross the rd. of Pantip? That guy is very foreigner unfriendly. Doors always say closed. Had a chat with him once about this. Reason being that about 250 foreigners walk in daily and only ask for prices, never buying. Anyway, once you are in you will be allright. Got a few engines of him.

Where do you fly around BKK? Does any old park work or do you have to go someplace out of the way, or an approved location?

Also, has anyone found one of the little 2 channel helos that they sell all over for 500 - 1000 baht that won't break in 5 minutes (or less)?

For future reference I noticed a small but what appeared to be well-stocked shop at the basement (car park level) at The Mall Bang Kae last weekend. I didn't go inside but it might be of interest to someone.

Go to Seacon Square, 3rd Floor in the Tutor/ Tesco side. Its located between "Math House" and a book store. Forgot the name of the shop. Decent people and professional stuff. Also sell training kits. You can book training classes with them for 800 a full day. 2-3 Days will do for mastering your 6 channel helicopter.

Yes, they do sell you the Baht 1300-2900 simple ones as well and lots of parts available.
