UNI Dome Indoor Flying |
|
Midwest's largest Indoor R/C Flying Event |
||
| The UNI Dome is the 16,000 seat domed indoor football stadium for the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, IA. The UNI Dome no fans or blowers inside, so it's perfect for everything from slow flyers to 3D. The flying field is 120 yards long with a 160 foot ceiling over the entire flying area with additional flying area over the seats on one side of the stadium. The entire field area will be available for R/C flying. The flight line is 100 yards long running along the sideline. One end of the field will be for 3D aircraft & helicopters and the other end will be exclusively for park & slow flyers. All models must have a flying weight of less than 20 oz. Door prizes will be awarded to flyers and spectators throughout the day. There will be Sponsor and flying team demonstrations and R/C vendors on site. Lunch available on-site. | ||

I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that one clubs events, will not conflict, with another's. The next most important service is to provide a Map Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists all of the different club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs. Perhaps an even more important item is the New Flyers Page that gives new members information they need to join a club and become part of our R/C community. This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me. There’s an E-Mail Link on every page.
