RC in Dubai

[Mart61]

I have a mate in DXB that flies planks. He just sent me some pics of some of his recent fly meets. Take a look at some of the models his flying buddies fly. Money is obviously not an issue out there eh?!

very very nice heli and the planes are just great looking and they even water the ground to keep the dust down how cool is that.

[Mart61]

:D No they are water trucks.

The 212 is a turbine job.

Stone the Crows!!!!

That is serious gear. Beautiful. I don't think they have a fuel crisis there do they?

Over there I've heard the fuel literally comes out of the ground.

:D

I worked in Abu Dhabi for 4 years. Used to fly planks out there myself.

The A340 is a monster eh? 4 turbine engines apparently. It cost over $100k to build, or so I'm told.

some superb models there...
if money was an issue they wouldn't be living in dubai :)

I got sent there for 2 weeks (work related) and i can safely say they pee in the face of all the carbon footprint/energy reduction action carried out by the EU.

Very nice models though.
