The second of two indoor flying sites is located at the Robert Morris University sports complex on Neville Island.

This is a unique site in that it’s basically a balloon held up by air pressure. It’s functions as an indoor driving range for golfers with space for two soccer fields.

Dave Kelly is the organizer of the flying in the dome.

Aircraft restrictions are the aircraft must weight no more than 14 ounces with battery. No helicopters.

Flying included 3D foamies and several varieties of slow flyers. One of the interesting events was pylon race of Park Zone Micro Cessnas.

The dome can be reached from Butler PA by using I-79 southbound and getting off at the Neville Island exit. Turn left at the light located at the end of the off ramp. The sports complex is located on the north end of the island Entrance is from the right lane of the highway

Flying is $20 dollars for three hours of flying. Children fly for $10 per session but must be accompanied by a responsible adult while flying.

There are only two flying sessions left in the schedule for the 2008 season.
They are March 15 and 29th.  See out event calendar HERE for more details.
