3. Helicopter size allowed is anything smaller than the 300 class for flying about the gym.
The 300 class heli on training gear will be allowed for hovering purposes only.

I think that the biggest concern with helis is the potential of damage to the building so yes the Gaui 200 would probably be fine even though it might clear the area of people

I believe that we will have to assess the suitability of helicopters on an individual basis so everyone bring yours along and lets see.

Oh my, that first video is amazing!

Here's a pic of the "entrance door" on the north end of the Citadel High Community Center, 1955 Trollope St, Halifax, ..where the Indoor Flying takes place on Nov 7th. 2010 at 12:00 noon

..come down Trollope from North Park, turn into the parking lot and your there..!

Good idea Bill. Google Maps Street View rocks except for those nasty long links.

TinyURL is one fix -- http://preview.tinyurl.com/2czcu4n

Driving up and down the streets with the arrow keys & looking around with the moust is bloody amazing.

It's looking good for a nice turnout on Sunday Nov 7th at noon...

Couple of suggestions that I'll pass along...

..try to have the correct change if you can, helps speed things up.

..think about bringing a bottle of water for yourself, could get dry in there after an hour or so.

..if the weather is very rainy, heavy socks might be in order, as we could be asked to "unshod ourselves".
(later on, the outer footwear will be removed at the gym door and stored behind the door.
