The ceiling is 14 (46 ft) meters tall in center. And gets lower to the
sides, in a cupola form. The name of the place is "La cupula", and you
can take the risk to touch a couple of times, but not more than that.

Our indoor nationals usually are held at Embalse, Cordoba, at the same
time the outdoor events. The same city where the World FF '05 contest
was held.

Unfortunelly the nationals are almost in winter,and the temperature
are low, arround 19C (66F). The place is cool, but is far from what
you guys have in USA :). The air quiality is not good, as words from
the F1d fliers. Still is a nice place.

This year we have 3 droped booms models: 2 F1D from Sergio del Patto
(1st) and Raul Cuello (2nd) and one P-25. I personally like the
droped boom models, even I heard they have too much more drag than
standart booms.

Foto credit goes for "Eduardo Guerrero Bolívar", he is from chile and
we were very pleased to have teams from neighbours countries, Chile
and Uruguay, taking part in our national.

Thanks all for you input.

Ignacio.
