Many thanks to the management and staff of Skyview for letting use have access to the gym!
This season's theme is ornithopters proposed by Randy M.
Example plans: http://www.ornithopter.org/archive/freebird.pdf
We have a few basic RULES:
No street shoes on the gym floor.
RC planes with a wing loading of less than 2 oz per sq ft or the micros with a total flying weight of less than 28 grams (1 oz) are all welcome on the main gym floor. If your aircraft is too heavy, there are two side gym floors that are available most of the time, great for 3D practice.
Remember that the rubber band planes have the right of way.
Thanks to Li-poly batteries we can fly up to 15 minutes with some of the new planes like the Parkzone Vapor or Cessna and others. This can be a problem for some rubber band flyers who tend to wait for an open sky before launching. So we are adding a new rule: please limit your flying time to 3 to 4 minutes per flight. This Rule promotes lots of shorter flights, and makes sure everyone has a great flying time.
RC pilots are to use all skill and prior planning to ensure that they do not fly over the pit area. The planes need to be far enough out in front to make sure no unforeseen incident can imperil the planes or bodies of others.
Pilots are responsible for their own frequency control. Check with all other RC owners so no one crashes someone else’s plane inadvertently.
Our
focus is FUN…:-)
but we still must be safe and respectful of each other to make that
happen.
Any questions or concerns contact Tom or Bryan.
Help! We
are looking for new indoor flying sites.
If you know of a location or some one
that can help click here and let Tom know.
Please click this link if you have a broken or mangled Parkzone Planes I could use for parts
If you like this site and would like to help keep it going click this link.
Attention
These schools have been nice enough to allow us access to their Gyms for the purpose of enjoying our hobby. We also have access to the restrooms. That is the extent of our access, therefore please keep yourself and any children or other guests in these areas. The rest of the school grounds including classrooms are off limits. If we or our guests violate this rule we may not be allowed access to these schools in the future. We appreciate everyone's cooperation in this.
Remember: No street shoes on the gym floor.
Wear only rubber bottom shoes that have not been worn outside and/or bring slippers - if you forget to bring them, you can always run around in your socks.

Thanks to: Larry Neznanski
We will be flying in the new gymnasium behind the school.
Because of Bishop Kelly's focus on getting planes ready for Science Olympiad competition, we would like you to leave your heavier indoor planes at home for the fly days.
