I remember renting Grumman American Cheetahs & Tigers from an FBO that was in the hangar at Akron Muni back in the mid 70's. At the time, there was quite a bit of open space. What's it like now?<BR>

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.<BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>So what’s the scoop...are people paying up, or is there a secret to finding a good location?<BR><BR>-Mark<BR><BR><BR>On 3/7/08 12:16 PM, "John Konneker" <jlkonn@hotmail.com> wrote:<BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Jeremy,<BR>It's great to see you post on the list!<BR>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.
