Thus anybody knows of RC Hobby's Club in Riyadh Saudi Arabia? And if I purchase an RC Helicopter (Thru Online Shop) then  ship it in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. There will be no PROBLEM for that??? Hope someone can help me.. Thanks!

RedGoblin

you  could ship it..
thats not going to be a problem. but then you cant obviously fly it around in the city limits. and Yes there is a club if I am not mistaken. I do remember reading about them when I was searching for fly schools in saudi.. lemme try and dig it up and then will post it here.

Cheers

crisfel

I would be interrested in knowing as well! I got into RC helicopters a couple of years ago and dusted off one a couple of days ago (as I was packing it up to leave for Riyadh).

Also - to the guy who looked into flight schools, what did you find? I was ready to take my private in the US about 5 months ago, but never got the chance due to a couple of moves wasn't able to.

I got into the hobby recently as well, I have just ordered online for my first 2 RC Helicopter, nothing fancy yet.

I am in Dammam, else I would have loved to join you guys.

Please let me know if you find any good stores for RC Toys anywhere in Saudi Arabia.

Store2Door (Fedex) and Borderlinx (DHL) are your best option for shipping RC Helis and Planes. They are expensive but SnS (Aramex) wont ship any flying objects.

Hi Jan, I am based out of Dammam and a very recent entrant into the RC Heli group. I just brought my first Heli the Syma S107G. I know its a small Heli compared to what you have but glad to see you here.

I have both the S107G and S109G and have issues with em. while take off and hovering. Maybe you can help.

jegamaster

@johnkuriakose how can i help you with your problem? as far as i know four propeller helis are now hard to fly compare to Single rotor or single blade heli.

jegamaster

Wooowheeeee.... got my FS-TH9X and the W911

I was wondering if you had played around with these Helis, coz there seems to be a lot of mod for these helicopters. I have never built or taken apart one.

Glad to see you have the new pieces of equipment come in. Did you ship it from US?

Ok love the RC Drift cars..
Where can I get one? And whats the cost?

Juggernaut

Steve,

I bought a Fast & Furious '69 charger replica RC drift car in Euromarche last month. If my memory serves me right, they have a Black Supra, 2012 Dodge Charger (Brazil Police, with lights on top), 350Z fairlady (TokyoDrift) & Nissan Skyline so check it out. They all come with a set of drifting tires & street tires.

SteveSmith

Thanks for the Info Juggernaut. I will definitely check it out.

I am going to Saudi Arabia next week for about a month and would like to bring my quadcopter and standard helicopter for some evening flying at the hotel. Does anybody have any info about travelling into KSA with this RC equipment in my luggage?

I do not want it confiscated and or have any legal importation issues.
