由 admin My Quest with the So-Called “Foshan Airplane Net First Stop”
So, I’d been trying to find some decent spots to fly my RC plane around Foshan. You know how it is, the city’s growing like crazy, and finding a good open field that’s not a construction site or a “no drones allowed” zone is getting tougher than finding a quiet moment.
Then I heard some chatter about this “Foshan Airplane Net First Stop.” Sounded promising, right? My first thought was, “Finally! Maybe a dedicated place with actual, updated info.” I was picturing maps, community tips, maybe even some organized fly-ins. Got my hopes up, I guess.
Giving It a Shot: The Process
I decided to dive in. First thing, I hunted down this “First Stop.” Took a bit of searching, mind you, it wasn’t exactly front-page news. Eventually, I landed on what seemed to be it. The layout looked a bit dated, like something from ten years ago, but hey, I’m not here for fancy graphics, I’m here for info.
So, I started digging around.
- Looked for a “locations” or “flying sites” section. Found one, but it was pretty bare. A couple of pins on a map that looked like they hadn’t been checked in ages.
- Tried the “community” or “forum” link. Dead. Last post was from someone asking about a specific battery type back in 2019. Tumbleweeds.
- I even tried to use their “contact us” form to ask if they had more current info or if local flyers actually used the site. Sent my message. Still waiting for that reply, and I’m not holding my breath.
I spent a good hour, maybe more, clicking through everything. Trying to find that golden nugget of information, that one active group, that one secret spot. It felt like sifting through an old attic hoping to find treasure but mostly just finding dust.
The Grand Outcome: Well, That Happened
And what did I get for my trouble? Not much, to be honest. The “Foshan Airplane Net First Stop” turned out to be more of a “Foshan Airplane Net Last Stop” for useful, current stuff. It felt like someone had a good idea once, put up a basic site, and then just walked away from it.
It wasn’t a total disaster, I mean, I didn’t lose any money or anything. But it was definitely a letdown. That “First Stop” hype? Just air, mostly. Another one of those things that sounds great on paper but the reality is… well, the reality.
So, the hunt for good flying spots in Foshan continues. This “First Stop” wasn’t the shortcut I hoped for. Back to word-of-mouth and scouting locations the old-fashioned way, I suppose. It just goes to show, sometimes these online “hubs” are more like ghost towns. But hey, at least I checked it out, right? Now I know.
