RC Egypt is an organization devoted to building and flying radio-controlled (RC) models in Egypt. One of their principal activities is to provide information and training to novice modelers.
The RC Egypt team was invited, in March 2006, to participate in the Avex air show and aviation trade exposition sponsored by the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation at the Sharm El Sheikh International Airport in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
[edit] Status of RC modeling in Egypt
Until relatively recently, flying RC models was restricted by Egyptian authorities for security reasons, but a couple of years ago, these restrictions were partially lifted in response to requests from the RC Egypt modelers.
At the end of the Avex event, they received a promise of more flexibility and greater accommodations for RC modeling in the future from Air Marshal Ahmed Shafik, the Egyptian Minster of Aviation.
