Joining during winter?

I've been looking at getting into indoor flying this year, and came across this club through google. I was wondering how the process would work for joining during the winter, and being able to fly indoors?

I understand that typically I would have to fly with an instructor to earn my wings outdoors, is there something similar in place during the indoor sessions?

As of now I only have one plane that is suitable for indoor flying(gws pico tiger moth), but am in the process of choosing an F3P style plane to build(from plans), and hope to have it flight ready in a couple weeks if I can find a place to regularly fly.

Hi,
I am one of the clubs instructors. This is my first season flying indoors and I can say that trying to fly indoors without any prior knowledge of flying will be difficult.
Outdoors we use buddy boxes and fly at a safe altitude. If you were to get into trouble it is relatively easy for an instructor to have time to take over and correct the situation.
Indoors.....well, there is not a lot of space to recover from an error.
As I said I am one of the instructors outdoors, and I have had a few crashes indoors myself in the past few weeks.
I do not want to scare you away, you should really come down and check things out anyway. Evan if you do not have a plane yet.
We will be flying this evening, come on down and there will people to answer your questions.

I should've been a little more clear in my original post.. I have flown outside, my current plane of choice is a GWS Formosa brushless/lipo. I would be new to indoor flying, but am very comfortable flying the formosa outdoors. Loops, rolls, snaps, etc are all the norm.. Haven't tried any spins or hovering yet though.

Oh Ok....Then yeah, you can learn indoor.
You will learn some hovering and really how to make full use of your rudder

The gym we fly at is a bit small. So put together something as light as possible so that it can be flown fairly slow.

Excellent! Would I just show up, with my application/cheque(and MAAC card) on a friday evening to check it out sometime?

I'm looking at building something in the 5-7oz range hopefully, purely for indoor flying. I'd like to try some F3P style stuff, and hopefully improve my skills for outdoor flying at the same time.

Yes, that should not be a problem at all.

do it! its fun

That post is a year old, getting a little slow in your old age..

I geuss you didnt notice last night(you were probley interuped by having to work ) I was board to death so I posted in every catagory just to see "Trevor M" appear all the way down the list. I thought you would catch that.

Yes, it looked like you were up to something..
Idle hands need to be building planes.

A year later, and not really any closer to indoor flying.. haha! Last winter was ridiculously busy leaving me no free time for indoor flying.

I've since scooped up an mSR and an ultra micro mustang... I'm about to start building a 1/2 size F3P plane, hopefully for mustang/sukhoi electronics.

I've actually moved closer to Newmarket(in Thornhill now, not midtown Toronto) so it should be easier to get out to fly!

Well, you'll have to come out to our field for winter flying!

Last year more people were winter flying than I can ever recall. This year will probably be even busier. We are in the middle of arranging a plow for the driveway/parking lot. Nothing wrong with winter flying outdoors if you are prepared for it!

Hope to see you out sometime

Alright! That will be awesome....I love winter flying...

Glow engines run very well in the cold.

The planes are more responsive and feel like they are carrying a lighter wing loading with the denser air.
