The following (4) club members have agreed to provide flight instruction as we navigate our way through the remainder of this COVID-19 pandemic:
Please contact these Instructors with any questions or to arrange for additional training sessions.
The Indy RC South club flying field remains OPEN during the pandemic.
While there please practice social distancing and stay at least 6 feet from other flyers. In addition, be sure to clean/sanitize your hands after touching common touch points, e.g., gates/locks, tables, porta-potty, etc.
If the road/field are too soft/muddy due to recent rains, please stay off of them until they dry out to prevent damage to them.
Thank you for your cooperation!
