I live in near Bao an Airport, but I cannot fly here ): ,RC hobby is very new to China , we dont have special flying field like in USA or your country! So sad, a big land country but no place for flying!
Oh, Have you ever try to fly some airplanes ?

Thanks
Jacques

Odd, When I was recently in Thailand, a friend of mine in the USA wanted me to buy and ship him an R/C Helicopter and of all the 100's of R/C's I saw, every single one of them was Made In China.

Permalink Reply by EK on June 19, 2012 at 1:52pm Not at all, but my younger cousins in NZ enjoy them, and alas it's a cool hobby!
Enjoy! :-)
Permalink Reply by Jacques Luo on June 19, 2012 at 11:00am Yes,It is litter odd of manufacturing R/C airplanes, we are in this field of manufacturing beginner airplanes for 3 years , but for professional playing R/C hobby compares to USA is very different.....like clubs, magazine, training center and so on.

Permalink Reply by Jeff Walden on June 20, 2012 at 8:59am MY Helicopters in Canada are worth more then my new BYD F0 Hahah, and they will take your head off like a flying lawn mower.
There is a large community of RC nerds here in China but they are hidden, last summer there was a big show in Nanshan at the new football stadium and there were for micro turbine jets there (about 10-20 pounds of thrust, running on jet fule) that cost about $15 000 US each.
I do have a local Chinese magazine for RC airplanes ad nI know that in other parts of China there are good flying clubs with runways and lots of flying space but from the quality of the airplanes that are flying I can tell there hobby is very new to these guys. It looks like America did 20 years ago when i started. Ill post some photos of the Magazine so you guys can search for it.

Anybody know a good RC place to race 1/10th scale cars?
i heard there is a place in Gouming farms near Bao'an Shenzhen.
Any idea of the address or how to get there?
