INDOOR FLYING
With all the bad weather I've been thinking about Indoor flying. As I understand it there are quite a few indoor meets around Sydney where a Gym or indoor basketball court is hired and aero-nuts like myself fly their small planes around a rather small circuit. Often a combination of radio control, free flight and helicopters (IR control is also popular). The height of the basket ball court is quite high which helps. 3D flying is also popular as the many youtube videos demonstrate. One important aspect of indoor flying is the almost perfect control of the weather, no wind except for agressive air conditioning.

It seems the organization I work for have an indoor basketball court available for hire for 3 hrs on a Wednesday night (6-9pm) for the sum of $45 inc gst. So my question is to club members is anyone interested in trying out indoor flying? The court is at Lindfield off the Pacific hyw on the north shore, parking not a problem. Note that most of the planes we fly at the Toontown field go too fast for an indoor venue of this size so u will need slower planes. I intend to fly a couple of planes I have brought form Hobbyking which are designed for backyard flying.

I have spoken to the Venue Management and they are happy to allow us to fly and I have asked them to double check the insurance issues but so far looks good.

I also would be interested to hear about any other indoor venues around Sydney you might know about, and any suggests, thoughts or experiences people have had with indoor flying.
