Bill:

I just couldn't resist replying.

What an absurd reason for denying the use of the gym for indoor flying.

I find it almost inconceivable that a 7 gram indoor airplane, for
example, could ever trigger an indoor fire protection sprinkler.

I leave it for the technical experts to provide data re the sensitivity
of such devices to impacts.

Here is the real point. Ask this gentelman which is more likely to
trigger the sprinklers, a volleyball traveling vertically at high
velocity or an indoor balsa wood airplane weighing less than one third
of a gram traveling horizontally a few feet per second.

Is it possible that the people running the indoor facility that
intersts you may be biased toward athletics and against science. Ask te
gentleman if he would prefer that all future commercial aircraft be
designed and built in China instead of the U.S.
