Radio Control Modelling In Phuket

[LivinLOS]

The shop in Phuket town would be the best info.. Havent seen many about for a while..

The steep hills of Promtheap cape make for good slope soaring..

[thaiwanderer]

not into it but iirc:

a while ago knew of one shop in Bang Tao (turn at police station heading towards laguana shop just on the left just before the next set of lights)

also past tesco lotus as if heading to BK phuket hospital instead of turning right at the lights head straight on - on left before the roads splits again

however probably best looking around in heart of phuket town

the shop in cherngtalay is still there just up from and opposite the black cat and most evenings there are people flying planes in the field behind

There are currently 3 active fields in Phuket of my knowledge.

Chern-talay, Chaofa west and a private field at the Thepkasatri road near phuket town.

Planes, heli, boats and cars at these so called clubs.

Just head out to these fields and you will see some hobby guys there for a chat, they all like to share there hobby. Saturdays and Sundays most likely.

I fly airplanes, electrical and nitro. Have also brought up some new RC pilots into the sky with dual control, master-pupil.

Hi Guys,

I always liked RC helicopters and a while ago i bought a esky belt CP electric RC helicopter.

Off-course i started trying to fly inside the living room with a home made training skid to avoid flipping over the heli.

But after many tries i think i have to find some help in setting up the heli and how to learn to fly.

Is somebody interested to help me to set up the helicopter and hopefully to give me some tips or hands-on to learn how to fly without crashing it in the first seconds. ( as i already did a few times )

There is a place on the way to the Luang Poh Suppha temple, off Chao Fah west road, with people (Thais and foreigners) flying electric radio controlled planes every evening, they seems to have a lot of fun.
