This Malaysian produces his own unique RC planes, receives international bookings

Many Malaysian products have actually penetrated the international market, but who would have thought that one of those products is a radio-controlled aircraft (RC). It is the work of Hazanie Abd Hamid, a 48-year-old from Johor.

He has been involved in this hobby for 10 years, and now his RC aircraft has received international demand, including from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Hazanie shared that he nearly gave up when more than 30 remote-controlled aircraft he created failed to function and fly.

However, with the encouragement of friends and family members, his son successfully flew his first RC aircraft named Debab.

He mentioned that his experience as a technician, coupled with a deep interest in innovation, motivated him to strive harder.

“I was almost giving up when more than 30 aircraft I built failed to fly. But I persevered because I believed I could make it fly,” he said.

After 10 years of patience, he finally succeeded in creating and flying his first aircraft.

When asked why he named it Debab, Hazanie explained that the idea came to him after seeing Russia’s largest cargo aircraft, known as the Antonov An-124.

Following this success, he has sought to add value to his creations through online learning.

To date, Hazanie has created over 100 aircraft, well-received by local and international RC aircraft enthusiasts.

Most of these ‘Debab’ aircraft are based on real models but have been modified to look cuter.

Some of his Debab versions include A4 Skyhawk, F-14 Tomcat, Fatty Flying Ship, Sukhoi Su-30, and Macross.

His latest creation, the VTOL FlyingShip, is capable of moving on water surfaces and flying in the air, attracting a buyer from Dubai, UAE, who has placed an order.
