OK, here I am, feet up sat outside my apartment in KSA. There's not a cloud in the sky, it's pleasantly warm and there are miles of flat open desert around me. What wonderful flying conditions - except I can't. I was told this morning that all RC flying is banned. On enquiring why, the explanation was that I might be using the plane to smuggle in drugs from Bharain. That's over 50km away so it would be one heck of a flight! Still, rules is rules as they say and I don't want to get banged up here - it's not nice. So until I return home, I have to content myself with flying my micro Helis round the apartment. Better than nothing, but very frustrating. Ok, whinge over. See you all in November when it's cold and rainy, but I'm able to fly. |

I had to Google KSA, I now know its the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, my education continues as its anothe TLA...... You are very sensible to follow the local laws, I have heard the KSA prisons are not nice. You will have to console yourself with Dune bashing in big 4 x 4s. Hope its not too hot, lovely day here, 25 degrees but a bit breezy, W/E wind forecast not good. Send us some pics. |
