Het verbod geld ook voor minihelikopters en zweefvliegtuigjes met afstandsbediening. De veiligheidsdiensten vrezen dat terroristen het vliegende speelgoed met springstof zullen beladen en gebruiken voor een aanslag op de NAVO-top. Speelgoedwinkels in Instanboel moeten alle modelvliegtuigen uit de rekkenhalen. Het verkoopsverbod blijft de hele maand juni van kracht.

In translation: Turkey bans model-aircraft during NATO-meeting. Fearing terrorist-actions at the NATO-meeting end of june, police prohibits selling R/C aircraft, including helicopters and sailplanes. Security fears terrorists to load explosives into the crafts. All shops in Istanbul have to clear the shelves of modelairplanes during the whole month of June.
