Dubai the land of the tallest building , Dubai is well developed place other wise it is a fast developing place
As developed rc hobby is very developed but not up the level to make your own a fly it, it is all in the money you give, The arabs who are wasting money for Cars, phones and also rc. I ment weasting as having not only one 5 or 6 lamborghini or iphone and spending al lot of money in rc after a day they crash it and say WoW ! I will buy one more to crash it again it was so funny when i crashed it ,They are not intreasted in the hobby they are intreasted in the product what they have so the local hobby shops only have RTF plane which cost way more than my dads salary so makeing scratct build planes ya we will get the foam but where are the electronic ! :O
Once i went toa hobby shop a asked a few things and they said bring the plane let we have a look at it they gave it back saying that we beake a wing purposely so you have to buy a 1000 AED plane , i said i want the electronic not the full plane they replied for that it will cost let me see a battery moter esc servo Radio and reciver bla bla blaaa it cost around 5000 AED . I removed my Cap and said good day sir let we never see again .
If i want to order from Hobby king but my dad say if the shipping gets lost the money will also get lost
Not only me there is lot of people who are intrested in this hobby
At my house i have the plane no electronic dusting up no one to look after them so i tossed them in the garbage but when i saw flitetest build video i wanted to come back to this hobby
but because of the lack of hobby shop in dubai the scratch build plane is no more !

The hobby shops are good for 'famous' brands like Align,Spektrum etc and they are partly rip offs too,but they have rents to pay and families too :P
But anyways,I'm going to begin my RC Journey too and wanted good foam options,
Avzaid,as u say all ur planes are scratchbuilds,can u recommend some good places to get foam from?
