Look at post # 39 in this thread. There is a map to it. Where do you live in AD? Might be able to give you directions, also, in one of the posts on this thread, there are GPS coordinates to the field. I fly there most week ends, not the greatest, but it is an intersection, so we have two directions to take off and land.

Hello guys

i live in officers city and there is a nice flying location there check post #58

before a month me and my friends discovered a really big nice flying place near ICAD 2 area in Abu Dhabi, to know where is this exactly search in google earth while looking in Abu Dhabi map Friday fishing, me and my friends fly gliders there, to have an idea of what it looks there check this video:

nice vid man!! great background music looks like a very wide open space good for newbies like me to practice flying skills.

seedo

man its nice there and for a newbi its not a good idea for warbird good luck try to fly a glider first

g3raldm

yeahhI thought about it. im looking for a glider or any trainer planes but its difficult to find the only shop in abudhabi sellswarbirds and edf jets. do you know any hobbyshops thats sells trainer planes and glider??

thanks

seedo

you buy from abu dhabi?!!! OMG!

no man buy from hobbyking.com

jlingrel

I get everything from Mail Order, usually from Tower Hobbies. I only fly electric, so fuel is not an issue. Aramex does a fair job of delivering stuff from the USA and England.

just ordered the bixer glider from hobbyking .. how many days will it arrive? too bad my warbird needs to wait i really love the t-28..  i hope i can fly with you guys and get some tips in flyng.

seedo

my friends have the bixler its a great glider but order an extra carbon fiber rod size 5mx750m the one that comes with the plane is weak.

seedo

it takes maximum 1 week if its EMS and maximum 3 weeks if its a parcel and a month if it international registered.

T-28 is a nice plane but not for newbies for sure.

Hi Guys, as this is an old thread is there any update on the flying site in Abu Dhabi? i will be here for 2 months and would like to visit the field and meet people . The last info given on this thread is that there is one in Khalifa, is it still this?

Daveeast

Did you check rcflyeruae.com ? I am based in Dubai but we have guys in AD and you be welcome to come to our field.

cheers Dave

Daveeast

Ps maps on forum

lookilook

Yes i did Dave , as i don't have a car and rely on taxi i just wanted to find out that it is still a valid location and if people can tell me what days and time they go there.
Dubai is an option for a day visit as i also have some friends flying for Emirates and also flying at a field there i believe.
