I flew rc planes for 5 years at MAAL (Miniature Aircraft Association Lahore). Belonging from Islamabad I returned after I changed my job and was super excited to fly at this RC Airfield. It was the single worst experience ever for me in years of being associated with this hobby and that includes the days when I crashed my rc planes. The only experience I had at this field was the very day I had my 2nd ever RC plane crash (after 5 years of flying). My first ever happened at Lahore. Some simple comparisons to highlight the differences are: At Lahore, fellow hobbyists actually felt sorry and came up to sympathise. Needless to say, the fellow members were who taught me and saved me from crashing so many times. While in this airfield, there were nothing except rash sharp gazes and hushed talk. The attitude was straight up condescending. Only one person was nice enough to come up to me to offer sympathies (a PIA pilot himself) When I asked about membership form and the process, the first response was we just don't give memberships to anyone. However judging how I wasn't just anyone who came here and actually was someone who knew about rc flying they hesitantly handed me a form along with the remarks that we posses the right to perform intelligence background checks! I always wondered how come, in a place like Islamabad, this hobby never grew AND why I see so many good people go to Bahria Town or other open places to fly their rc planes all alone? I found my answer that day back in 2014! I still love this hobby. Not so much with this RC hobby club/place/group of people!
