Hi,
In a couple coming days I will be in Istanbul with the family

26 years ago in this very town I got my first R/CM magazine
Actually that was my entry to r/c

Now, could any body teal if there are some r/c flying fields, stores, and clubs
I hope during my tours will come close so maybe I could have alook, and maybe make some friends

btw very important, any jet flying ,any events during this period of time? [X(]

Hi Hashim,

i forwarded your thread to two of my costumers there. Hopefully the will answer to you.

Hi Hashim,
Unfortunately there is not much going on regarding Jet activitity around.
The only jet flyer that I know of is myself and another guy whom I haven't met yet.You probably wonn't find anything related to Jets in the local shops around.However there are two fields that we use both paved but rather short (ca.100m long):
1- Imuk- it's on the asian side
2- Hazerfan- it's on the european side

For both you would need a car to get to and I would not recommend a taxi which would cost you a fortune.

Being in August,when most take a vacation there is littler chance anybody will be there besides the weekend.
However you are more than welcome to contact me when you are here and I'll try to take you with me if I can make it to the field on Sunday.

Regards
Eray

Hi Volkan,
There are two modelshops worth mentioning:
-Mustang Hobby in Kozyatagı
-Murat Yucat(I don't know his shop name)-in Gayrettepe

About prices I can only tell you that I purchase all my stuff (except for minor common accesoiries abroad ...

However there is one item at Mustang hobby,which is actually a late cancelled order by someone;Fiberclassics mb339 rtf less radio gear with a p-120 installed.Ther is apretty good chance you can get a good deal on that one...Of course how you would carry it along would be the Question
