January 2013 Indoor Flying

There was another great turn out on Saturday 26th January for the LMAC indoor flying at Parkland Leisure Centre in Wigston. 18 flyers took the first opportunity following Christmas for some Indoor flying to try out some of their new models. There were lots of micro helicopters on display as well as the ever growing popular 'shockies' style models from RC Factory. In the pictures below taken by Colin Wilson, you can see three shockies prop hanging together.

Thanks for all those who attended. As always, all LMAC and Non-LMAC members are welcome to attend as long as you have your BMFA insurance. There are two further meetings scheduled for February and March and more details can be found on the Indoor Page.

Look forward to see you again on Saturday February 23rd at 8pm at the next LMAC indoor meeting at Parklands.
