When I was at school indoor flight was limited to delicate free flight rubber things and electric round the pole. Modern electronics now makes full control feasible, and this area has expanded a lot recently.

The nice thing about indoor is that the weather doesn't matter. The down side is the availability of a suitable space. cadmac have solved this by using some funds to hire the sports centre badminton hall for 3 hours each month through the winter. Still have to watch out for the rather solid walls. To add a bit of fun we have pylon racing. The hall is just about big enough to leave 1 end for free flight, while the other is used for radio. Still get the odd shower of confetti though.
