| As the first rains of the Fall season visited us here
in the Bay Area, over a dozen men and women not willing to let the
weather defeat their R/C flying desire gathered at the MVP
Arena in San Jose for an indoor flying event organized by Pete
Lane and sponsored by AeroMicro.
Scheduled to run from 7:30 am to 9:30 am on Saturday November 1st,
anxious pilots gathered in the cloud darkened parking lot as early
as 7:00 am. One pilot, Allen Strahm, offered the early risers a delicous
assortment of fresh donuts. Filled with Christmas morning like excitement,
the pilots were finally allowed into the arena where they found their
new weatherproof flying field... a crash friendly astro-turf covered
indoor soccer field with a netting that covers the ceiling and hangs
from all the walls.
Many of the pilots, although friends on the BayRC.com Forums, were
meeting in person for the first time. This was made easier since
Ed
W. had the foresight to bring name tags. With ample space in
the arena, everyone jumped right into flying. But it wasn't long
though before order was restored and a pilots meeting was called.
