Building Techniques For Indoor Flying Models<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This series of short videos addressing the materials, building techniques and flight trimming associated with indoor flying models was created with the help of members from the Baltimore Area Soaring Society along with members of the Washington DC Maxecuters. While the impetus for these videos was generated from working with Science Olympiad teams, the information is applicable for anyone entering the fascinating sport of indoor free flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A table of contents listing the topic of each video has been created in order to allow a particular item to be queried. The text of the audio for each video is available for those who wish to have it for reference. We hope you find this information useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we gain feedback we will modify the videos and or add to them to address questions and recommendations from viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
