Thx, I can't make the 26th, which is why I was kinda looking forward to March already (not to mention SPRING!)...

Cheers,

Hi.  I'd like to join your club.  Are non-members allowed to come out and watch you guys fly indoors?  Also, I have a new T-Rex 550E with V-Bar v5.1pro that I'd like one of the experienced pilots to look over and just double check to make sure that everything is correct with my set-up.  This was my first build and I'd  like someone with a lot more experience than me look it over.  I'm 99.9% confident that it's ok but you never can be too cautious.....

Chris.

Hi Chris,

For sure you can come and watch. If you have MAAC insurance and a heli with 350mm blades or smaller you can fly too. We do not fly bigger helis at indoor.
Probably I am most experienced Vbar pilot in the city. I can help you for sure. Come to indoor this weekend.
There are many great Vbar pilots in Alberta and Saskatchewan. You will have a chance to meet them at different local fun flies.

Dmitry,

Thanks for the reply.  I might just take you up on that invite this weekend....we'll see what the weather is like because I'm over an hour out of the city.  If it's miserable I'll just stay home.  Anyway, I don't have a MAAC membership yet but I will be getting one shortly.  In the meantime I just wanted to come out and meet some of you guys and maybe watch for a few minutes.  Where does the indoor flying take place in Edmonton?

Chris

It takes place at Aviation Museum hangar. Check the map.
I put the green arrow right at the entrance to the hangar.

Are we flying on Sat the 26th Feb 6 to 9 pm??

I haven't heard from Kevin Yet.
It was set for Sat. 6 - 9

Roger

Any word on the indoor tomorrow? Its getting kind of last minute. I invited a friend last weekend for the dog show  :o. So this time, I am waiting for confirmation before I invite him.

Flying is on 6 pm !!!!
KD

Good  see you there
Roger

Sorry boys but something came up and I couldn't make the trip into the city tonight.  I'll try again next weekend..... 

Next one is March 12 6 to 9. Kevin will try and get it for Sunday the fifth. He will let us know.
Roger

Home page says Sat the 6th, and your last post says Sunday the 5th.... I presume you mean Sat the 5th?
Know if this is confirmed?

Thx!

Next one is March 12 6 to 9. Kevin will try and get it for Sunday the fifth. He will let us know.

I will change main page. Should be 12th not the 6th.
My Mistake.
Roger

Hey Roger,

OK so we're waiting to find out about _this_ weekend. Either way, Sunday is NOT the fifth  :)

BTW, like Lowtech, I too showed up for the dog show last week... I've mostly only been checking this thread (rather than the home page) to find out about the indoor.

...Will spring EVER show up!...

I post it on the front page when I hear from Kevin.
He makes the arrangements for us.
He told me he would try for Saturday this weekend but I haven't heard yet.
The people at the air Mseum are hard to get hold of and a little disorganized.

Roger

There is flying on sat the 6th I'll be out of town so if some one can get the keys from Ian I can let him know
the best would be on friday at hobby wholesale it looks like the balance of march is booked at the hanger for other
events if I can get any other dates like sunday afternoons i'll fwd the dates .

KD

Saturday is the 5th
Is it Sat or Sunday and What time?

So, Are we flying this Sat? Who is going to pick up the keys?

I would like to get out this weekend to do a little flying. I can get over to see Ian to get the keys. Is there flying? Saturday? Sunday? let me know!!!!!!
Travis   

I can get the info for the keys to you guys I'll talk to Ian and have them at Hobby Wholesale Flying is booked for sat 6 to 9

KD

I just taked to Kevin and I will pick up keys today and will be at the hanger by 5:45 for the indoor.
Travis

See you at 6pm.
Can you get the date of the next ones as well so I can post them on the Main Page.
Roger

Rodger could you collect the fees for me
Thanks

I will collect
Roger

What a great turnout. 11 guys with planes and helis. good time.
Don't know when the next one will be on. Will post as soon as I know.


Roger

Good to hear Rodger! I'll get the next date as soon as I"m back in town!!

KD

Kevin I have the key and money from the march 5th indoor. When is the next one?
Travis

Is there INDOOR Flying March 12 ???

Charles

Kevin is away. He said he would get back to me when he found out when the next one was.
He must still be away.

As soon as I know I will post it on our main page too.
Roger

Ok. Have a couple of more dates
Sunday the 20 and 27 130 to 430

KD

I'm new on this site and wondering if i can drop in to fly indoors, presumably in the Aviation Museum Hangar?
If there's a fee for non-members, what is it? Thanks.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Sure you can do that. Fee is the same for non members. But you have to have MAAC insurance.

see u guys there.
Roger

Looking forward to Sunday the 27 th  1:30 to 4:30

Roger

Is anyone else coming
Roger

Yes I'll be

KD

I am going to try to make it but am not a member (I do have my MAAC). How much is it for non members?

Well I stopped by the Hanger today and it was good to see a bunch of the guys out working their machines.  I even got to mooch some airtime.

Apparently not the best turnout of the season, still +10 pilots, more than enough to “pay the rent” nice to see..

Will this ice age ever end?

I sure wish that I could have made it to at least one of the indoor sessions you guys put on over the winter.  Now that the warmer weather is coming (hopefully sooner than later) when will you guys start heading out to the flying field on the weekends?  Is it open yet?  Is there a set schedule to use the outdoor field?

Chris

Kevin will try for this coming weekend. He will let us know when he sets it up
Roger

Hey Chris

The ERCHA field is open to club members year round, weather and the road condition permitting.  Visitors and guests are welcome to come by any time the field is in use/gate open.  There are no set times so watch the forum for members posting their plans.

Obviously if you wish to join the Club you can fly when you wish, meet the group and learn a bit, or more likely, teach us a thing or two!!

Cheers
Mark

Is there any indoor this upcoming weekend? If so hopefully on Sunday, as I work on Saturdays :(

Wayne

Looks like the next available date is Sunday the 17th of April chime in and let me know how many would like
To attend.

KD

Great  :(

I work that Sunday  :(

You always can come to the field. Weather is good enough. I flew there yesterday and will be flying this weekend for sure.
It is not possible to get to the parking though. Too much snow  :(.

I'm in for any Saturday or Sunday in April.....

Thanks Mark.  My MAAC card is on the way so in a few days I can purchase a membership with ERCHA.  As far as teaching any of you guys something it probably will be a lesson in how not to fly (crashing) rather than actually looking like I know what I'm doing!  Yes, I'm going to be "that guy" at the field this summer!  Anyway, sorry to have hijacked this "indoor" thread with some questions on "outdoor" flying but I've got spring fever really-really bad.  I've been couped up far too long this winter so when the sun starts to shine and that white crap starts to disappear the last thing on my mind is doing anything indoors..... :).

Chris

Indoor today?

I have heard nothing further about today getting booked so I would say no..  Kevin? Any news?

Cheers
mark

It was not booked for this Sunday
KD
