Indoor Models
The indoor flying 'field' is a relatively small community gym, which favours small, light-weight, aircraft. Presuming you'll be joining us for the first time, here are some suggested "off-the-shelf" indoor flying models.
Ideal models are lightweight enough that an errant model won't cause injury.
UMX Vapor: Available from Horizon Hobby and your local hobby shop - an ideal 'ready to go' indoor flying model.
UMX Turbo Timber: For expert pilots, the Turbo Timber may work for our space. Many pilots do find, however, the space to be challenging with these faster planes.
Stevens Aero Kits: For those wishing to build their own indoor flyer, but need a kit, Stevens Aero has a number of indoor kits that use the e-flite/parkzone electronics.
Helicopters: Micro helicopters work best for the space, with the E-Flite Nano S3 being an excellent example. For helicopters, however, even the inexpensive London Drugs helicopters can be quite a bit of fun.
Rubber Powered Models: Rubber-powered model aircraft are a fascinating and historic type of aircraft. They were popular in the early days of aviation before the widespread use of more modern power sources like engines. When trimmed correctly they will fly multiple 360's in our indoor space to the delight of all.
