Horsham Club Indoor Flying

Myself and Rob plus others have attended the indoor flying arranged and hosted by those nice people of the Horsham model flying club. These nights have proven to be an excellent opportunity to get some well earned time on the sticks with slow and lightweight electric models that will happily fly around inside a gym hall based at Farlington School just outside Horsham.
The evening is very well run with dedicated times for many types of indoor planes, helicopters and drones (hmmmm!).

Anyway, this year I was hoping to get some of the large collection of indoor planes dusted off and take them over to the Indoor evening meets and get some flying in.
I am assuming the indoor flying will be taking place and I need to double check this with Pete Glover but I really wanted to give you guys a heads up and maybe the opportunity to get involved with some Indoor flying.
Its great fun and you can sit around nattering to other modellers about RC flying in general.
Let me know if you would be interested in either trying out indoor flying or would like to come along?
Hi All, Rob here,
just to say that it only costs about £3 per night, it runs every 2nd week starting from 17th Oct
Here's their website   - http://www.hdrcmc.co.uk/
I have small electric indoor planes and helis that people can borrow to fly and it's good fun.

  2. All, yes our indoor season starts on the Oct 17th and then Nov 14th and 18th followed by Dec 12, we then have dates in Jan through to April. Flying is from 8pm but we tend to arrive 7:45pm to setup. Cost is £3 for adults and £1 for juniors, hall is a decent size and as Paul says we run 6min slots for various categories dependent on who and what is being flown. Just need you BMFA insurance cover. On another note we hold monthly club nights and have recently had the BMFA and Ripmax come along to give talks, our next one (5th Oct) is a first aid evening, as we feel it is always useful having some basic first aid knowledge given we fly in remote locations, there should be a few spare spaces if anybody is interested

    1. Thanks for the heads up I bought an indoor kit 2 years ago and if I can still find it this is a good reason to finish if! Marc
