  I'm still trying to figure out how I can uproot the kids, pack up the wife, ship 'em down to Gray, and stay here :) :):):)

      The real answer for you  yankees and mid western types is to move to the land of "Y'all". Snow today,  65F flying weather tomorrow. Dump that dead end job, uproot the kids, pack up  the wife and exit the mother in law -all for the love of pattern. You can live  here without using that "Y'all" term, but "fixin' " is another  matter...

      Expecting 12" of snow  today...but no place to practice (Cleveland).  Finding a place to fly  indoors is next to impossible.  We have access to the golf domes every  weekend, but that's like flying in a smash up derby.  Easily 10-12 planes  in the air at any given time and it's rare to go more than a flight or two  without a midair, some minor, some catastrophic.   And that's assuming  you follow the circle pattern.  Practicing an F3P pattern would be  impossible.

      Where are people getting regular access to a practice  facility?  Gyms are here are either booked, or closed.   We have  some great indoor soccer fields that have availability but they're $300/hr, so  you either need a gang...pronounced crash fest, or deep pockets.   

      So what's the scoop...are people paying up, or is there a secret  to finding a good location?

      Jeremy,
      It's great to see you post on the list!
      I live in SE  Iowa.  Not much outdoor flying in the winter.  This winter about  -0-!  I've had a couple Depron/FanFold foamies in the past but a couple  months ago I discovered the F3P planes.  WOW!  They ARE a lot of  fun.  I want to try to get something going next winter, it's kind of late  in the season now.  I hope interest continues to  grow!

      Since someone mentioned that  its kinda quiet over the past couple of days, I'll throw something out  there..... 

      I normally just lurk, but I wanted to throw out this for  everyone. 

      Its winter, so many are building, updating or planning out  their planes for this coming season, but there is an option out there that  allows us to fly all winter and keep our thumbs sharp. 

      http://www.rcgroups.com/indoor-pattern-f3p-373/ <http://www.rcgroups.com/indoor-pattern-f3p-373/> 

      Indoor Pattern has gained a lot of popularity in  the past 2 years and seems to be growing all the time. There are lots of  obvious differences between indoor and outdoor pattern, but there area also a  lot of similarities. 

      The cost of entry is incredibly low compared to  that of a 2m pattern plane (try less than the cost of a new YS for 2 RTF  competitive indoor pattern planes) and more and more places are becoming  available to fly them. 

      There are lots of good designs out there on the  market designed specifically for this area - FancyFoam.com and Hobby-Lobby.com  are both particularly well stocked. 

      Anyway its a lot of fun.
