If you are just starting out, buy something basic and cheap. Because you will crash a few times and many basic beginner models are designed to come apart on impact. Some models almost glide by themselves, and so are easy to control for the novice. You don't have to have a petrol engine. I believe the 'Park Flyer' class of models is popular. These have electric motors.
The common pitfall is to buy something above your current skill level. And this only leads to frustration and disappointment and lots of crashes, and bigger bills.
Your start up costs should be low, but don't forget about the radio. If your plane does not have 6 channels, you don't need to fork out for the more expensive 6+ channel radio sets. I think a basic 4 Channel FM transmitter/receiver set will cost about 1200 rmb. You need to add this to the price of the model plane. But your radio will last you for life.
Not sure how much planes are, have a look on taobao.com
Wrong.
You need a full time job with a company that is willing to sponsor you for the working visa.
If you are going to do this, you will find it easier if you get the job before you arrive in China, as you may be required to leave China again to secure your 'Z' work visa.
Not legal, but also done is to get a company who will sponsor you for an 'F' business visa. These are valid for upto 6 months. They may tell you your first stay is 60days max, but you can extend easily when here.
Try putting up a fresh thread asking about custom bike frames.
There seem to be plenty of bike bods on here, but I doubt they will look at a model thread.
Update in the news today. Two related stories.
First, a group of young volunteers are combing the streets, looking for stolen bikes, and then returning them. Some are even locked with cable locks and chains, but the volunteers carry large bold croppers to cut the chains.
Second, police have apparently jailed 3 people for stealing these bikes. I think one person got 11 days and the other person 5 days.
Yes, but it also depends on suitable systems and policies, at both the national, local and school levels. At school level it also applies to the policies within both public and private sector schools, and is also true for special programs.
I currently work in a program, where for the first 2/3 of Gao Yi, we spend 80% of our time managing 10% of the students, most of whom are not usually there in Gao Er; and these kids are not disadvantaged, they are just dis[insert adjective here].
Of course its not a flat table. Stop being so bloody PC. Social mobility is a relevant social goal.
No child left behind is not about the competitive society. Many of the 20% of under achievers are not disadvantaged by social background, many have lower intelligence, or really don't care.
The 20% who could achieve a lot more includes many of the smart kids who are socially disadvantaged, but the crap schools in the poor neighborhoods lack the resources for them to excel. When they do get more money, they have to spend it on under achievers. Helping students who would otherwise get an E, to get a D is not going to change their life prospects. Helping the smart kids from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their full potential is going to change lives.
This is the more bold face of gentrification. Looking at the pattern in other cities, the next step, in a year or so, will be to close the wet market as well. A sad but inevitable part of progress.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
