This thread will document sources of RC stuff in Qatar, outside of the RC shops.  I guess most people know about Jarir being a good place for glues and tapes, and Rawnaq and other libraries being sources of foam (foamboard, sunboard etc, but not depron, EPP etc).

Here is some information about coro.

Anyone interested in building from plans, can use coroplast (known as "coro") as an alternative to foam.  2mm and 3mm coro works pretty well. 5mm coro is a bit heavy, so you will need bigger power setup, but is the better choice if you want to build a glow powered model (like .25 or .40 engine powered).

Coro was not available most of the time here.  Currently it is in stock at Al Rawnaq at the Old Airport location.  Please grab it while the stocks last   Note that the thin ones are a little towards the back, behind a pillar.

People have put coro to great use, as you can see in these threads :

http://www.rcindia.org/self-designed-diy-and-college-projects/tricopter/ (great use of orange colored coro and black tape for the canopy!)

http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/cub-using-3mm-coro-and-6mm-depron/ (Nice beginner model made out of coro)

Hope to see many coro planes on the field soon   I saw a beautiful one with brother Ali when he visited me today, and that is how I came to know about the coro stock... been looking for it for a long time !

Also attached is a picture of the Rawnaq stock.

Thanks for sharing Anwar bhai, I saw the same material in bulk a month back at Al-Rawnaq, the one in Bin Omran (Town Center) they had huge quantatity of coro.

Bro, as u said u r going to make one urself, 2nd part of the video is still not available, do u got some plans of Fuse. would u like to share the plans (if any) or start a build thread for the same. I would like to build one tooooooooooooooo

Try Al Anabi Electronics, near Arab Bank roundabout.

Please see the Google Maps link in this post.

I would suggest you take some printouts of the pictures of the actual products you need (like connectors), that would make identification easy for them.  In addition to Annabi, there is also another big parts store called "RS Electronics" next to Annabi, just ask for it.

Arab Bank roundabout is in the souq area,  When you are driving from Jaidha flyover to Souq Waqif, Arab bank roundabout is the one you get after the Sofitel Signal light. The shop is located about 50m on the right side of the roundabout.  There are many shops on the same street, Basheer radio located on the side of the roundabout is another big shop.

I will be test flying my new Hobbyking EPP FPV this Friday (If the weather is favorable).
