Hi Phedon,
With due respect (and you deserve plenty) there is not a shortage of places to
fly indoor FF. In my hometown of Colorado Springs there are at least 25
buildings from about 20’ to 90’ in ceiling height. How many have been approached
about flying indoor FF? That I know of, only two in recent years. One of the
two is our current contest site, a 37’ smooth ceiling venue which we’ve be using
3-4x a year since 2001. I initiated the negotiations with the site management
back then and we still enjoy a great relationship and good rental rates. It was
never difficult; I just negotiated a rate, booked the dates and promoted the
contests which always break even or make a small profit.
What are the chances that if I took the time to prospect the 23 other buildings
that we’d find another viable site? Very good, I’d wager.
Indoor Free Flight suffers primarily from a lack of right-brained leadership.
We’ve plenty of high I.Q. scientists and engineers, but many of these guys lack
communication skills.
Don D.

With no place to fly. Very S A D. The flyers are there, the sites are not.
Indoor flying is dying an accelarating death. I had to wait a whole YEAR IN
ORDER TO BREAK A RECORD. I may have to wait another year in order to break a
second one. Very S A D indeed. Ciao.

over 25,000 views. If 10% of the viewers build planes that would overwhelm usic,
too many planes. if 1% of those viewers build that 250 new people to indoor.
