Hi. Joseph from Pilipinas (Philippine Islands). We have an organized 10 or so clubs here with an equal number of flying fields all around the main islands of Luzon (north), Visayas (central) and Mindanao (south). There should be around 300 flyers all in all. I belong to (and fly) a club in Manila. Our field is on an open lot by Manila Bay.

3D Hobby Shop in Tung On Street, Yaumatei, Kowloon carries Raptor parts. There's also a full row of buggy shops in Kwong Wa Street, Mongkok, Kowloon.

Here's an online street map

Hi Clement,

Are you any relation to the Mr Tang I occasionally buy goods from ex Hong Kong? That aside - we fly all year round down here in Godzone, but then we already made it to the list.....

Hello; I'm surprised that no one from Canada has piped up yet; Well here I go. I fly on the west coast of Canada, and have flown in all provinces except Newfoundland. It's pretty popular here.

I went to Cuba for the month of April this year, and wasn't able to find any flying at all, anywhere on that island. I asked everywhere I went and the only answers I got was that it was illegal to posess nitro, and impossible to buy Methanol anywhere in the country. I know that there are many Cubans living in Florida that fly, Perhaps they might know better, but I don't believe that there is any RC flying in Cuba.

Hey guys,

Glad to see the international side of the hobby. I'm an American of Egyptian decsent. I have been back and forth 4 times this year alone and yes we fly near the pyramids. I'm trying to get a pic of me hovering with the pyramids in the background. Will post it if I get it this time. Anyway the group there ranges, from the newcomer to the WELL expirenced. My father was born in Egypt and even represented Egypt in the 1969 World Championships in Austria (pretty sure it was Austria) So needless to say, I was born in the hobby.
As for flying in Egypt I have had many different expirences. One place I fly is an Airforce base with an active squadron of F-16's. AWSOME I tell you. This of course is not the norm, it is for some work I am doing for them on their ATTEMPT at a UAV program. As for the regular places, they usually are just spots that no one uses. The one place I fly at has weekly minium 20 guys flying. The only thing I have not seen flown in Egypt yet are the jets, but everything else is there.

I'm signing in again, after I did for the first time 2 years ago.
This is because back then I was living in Venezuela.
Now I'm back to my home country, Brazil.

Here we have one of the best R/C clubs in the country. Take a look on the pictures

Hi guys & girls,

Euqor, that site is really impressive, how do you control freq use with that many clubs all in 1 spot??

I fly on the east coast of Australia, we have around 120 members in our club.

Hi, Tony.

In Brazil we have the same frequencies in use in the United States, which means airplanes/helis use the same air frequency control, while cars and boats share their own surface frequency control board. Many of our members do use the new transmitters/receivers where you can change the frequency without the need of replacing crystals. So it is quite simple and rarely we need to wait much for the frequency pin to be free.

In out last international event, the 4th HeliAsas (Heli wings), we had a guest pilot from Australia. His name is [link=http://www.nigelbrown.com.au]Nigel Brown[/link] and he is from Perth, Western Australia.

Hi Euqor,

I didn't realise that you guys had a seperate freq range for air & ground, makes it a lot easier.

I just had a look at Nigel Brown's website, I hadn't heard of him before, but I'm not into choppers that much.

Once again, that is an awesome field.
Tony.
