John,
Thanks for the info. I used to love watching the indoor FF at the NATS. I thinbk it sucks that the NATS have become different contests for all the different aspects of model aviation. I fly RC precision aerobatics as well as fly FF for pleasure. I loved it back in the days when the NATS were like a big circus. Different times of the days and different sites allowed you to see all aspects of the hobby. I always loved watching the indoor FF and CL combat as well as flying in Pattern. It was a lot more of a family thing back then. I went to Westover AFB twice to watch the NATS with my dad even though I was not participating. We lived in VA Beach, VA then too and it was well worth the trip.
Yes, I have just spoke to a member of the Brainbusters. Last I had heard they had no indoor sites and had lost their only contest and had very few outdoor sites. I guess they have an indoor site in Newport News again. I plan to take my 6 year old daughter to go watch this weekend.
Thanks again,
Paul

Yeah, the FFML is one of the forums that has more of general conversation. Not a bad thing at all, just different than here :)
The Dandiflyer looks like a fun plane. Erv Rodemsky knew what he was doing.
If you can build that, you can certainly build a Limited Pennyplane, if you are so inclined (Erv originated that class, too).
Have you hooked up with the Brainbusters Free Flight Club? They are in VA - don't know how close to you, though.
I also recommend the Indoor FF Nats / USIC at Johnson City, TN May 23-27. 5 days of Indoor in a fantastic site. If you make a LPP, you can compete on the weekend days with it. You can fly your other models during the appropriate time slots. You can participate in as much or as little as you like. Give it some consideration :)

I just found out there is an indoor site in our area. Last I had heard, there was not any indoor sites left. I like building easy planes like Denny Darts and the such. The 180 is my first full fuselage full tissue covered plane. I know a semi scale plane is not the best, but I have built numerous planes like the DD and Stringless wonders.
