Once again at this year's 2006 NEAT fair, on Saturday night Sept 16th, will be a micro indoor model
flying session hosted by our Boston Micronauts indoor club. The event will be held at the
Downsville high school's single-court basketball gym in Downsville NY, about 4 miles from
the NEAT outdoor site. The emphasis will be on micro indoor models and will be an invitational
event for pilots.
Many of the presenters at the the micro model seminars organized by Sergio Zigras over the
three day weekend will fly at the indoor event, as well as other top national and internationally
known micro RC modelers. It will be a good opportunity to see some of the most cutting edge micro
models fly, mix and mingle with other micro modelers, and also to showcase micro RC for NEAT
attendees who may not be micro modelers. Among those expected to be present and/or fly are Henry Pasquet,
Joe Malinchak, Stew Meyers, Don Srull, John Worth, Bob Selman, and Matt Keennon.
You can get more of an idea of the type of planes typically flown at the indoor night by looking at the
planes featured in the half-time demonstration flying in the following pdf file:

More pictures of the 2005 NEAT Indoor Night can be found in the Photo Album section of this web site. And,
finally, excellent video coverage of the 2005 Indoor can be found on the 2005 NEAT fair video available from
SKS Video at SKSvideo.com.

If you would like to
request an invitation to fly, please write us at the email address above. Include a picture of the plane(s) you
would be flying at the indoor. We also need wing span, propulsion system, weight, and wing loading. We will
review this information to see if the planes are micro in nature and keeping with the "micro" focus
of the indoor night. If we have enough pilot slots you will get an invitation.
Please note that 3D hovering type planes will not be allowed at the indoor night. 3D planes are not the focus
of this indoor and can also destroy micro planes.
