Just to add to this, I'm a beginner in indoor, Larry Coslick has been my mentor, my problem is that the closest flying site that I can access, and only in the winter when the weather is uncertain is up in Racine Wis., and it is only open in the evening on Thursday nights. This is a problem if you work and have to drive 90 miles one way, and go to work the next day! Like out door F/F, there are very few flying sites to use. R/C is only 20 minutes from my house, and it is a public field. The only models that I can find in Northern IL hobby shops are R/C planes and cars, just my 2 cents!

Don D.,
I have not been able to attend USIC since 2005 due to a combination of poor
health and lack of funds.

Locally I have not been able to get anyone interested in flying indoor FF
and have no site that I can use for testing. Trust me, testing by flying
across your living room doesn't really tell you much.

I would attend the flying in Okie City once in a while but I am a duration
flier and they rarely have any duration events at their meets. Mostly mass
launch NoCal and walk-a-long glider events. 4 hours each way is just too
much for me when I won't even have a chance to fly any of the events that I
love such as EZB, F1L, LPP, MiniStick, F1M, A-6, F1D, etc.

I do try to get up to Kansas City at least once a year although due to the
death of my mother I haven't made it yet this year.
