 |  NEED TO FLY DURING WINTER IN VA,MD AND NC
After reading the thread about the mx2 foamy i was thinking is there any interest of indoor flying here in VA. or surrounding states? it seems as though all the large indoor events are in OH or IN which is a little far for me but i would not hesitate to drive 3 or 4 hours to fly. i do not know of anyplace as of yet but im sure members here can chime in on possible venues and or events that could get us through the winter. thanks, jeff

If there was an indoor event in NC or VA, I would do my best to attend.

I would like it too. If there is enough interest, I will try to get place, like U-hall or John Paul Jones arena in Charlottesville, Va.

I will do some checking tomorrow and see what I can find out. This sounds like something that should have been in the wroks for a couple months, it might be almost too late for this year, but we can try. I am a CD and can turn in all the parperwork, but I do not know how to get the word out to get all the big-wig hotdogers out, can you guys help me out?

thanks cliff, those would be awesome places. the etoc and some other events look like there in a regular sized gym, woodbutcher said hanover high school has a large gym and that this idea was brought up a few years ago and cost was the biggest hurdle. too bad the wind tunnel in va is being decomissioned, that looked like it had a lot of space.

I read on here that there may be a electric fly in inside the tunnel before they tear it down. If I hear anything else I will let everyone know. | ||||||||||||||||||

There's a group of guys that get together every first Friday of the month and fly at a local gym in Danville, VA. They meet for pizza at 5, then go fly until 2-3am. This Friday is the first of the month; and Saturday is the flight for fighting cancer (sorry, I forget the real name) fly-in event at the Danville airport. I'm headed down - can't wait! Indoor and outdoor both! Pete
