      There are many clubs that have worked hard to promote Indoor Free Flight around Chicago, Il. One is the Bong Eagles which meets in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Typically the first Thursday evening of every month they sponsor a Fun-Fly at Memorial Hall in Racine, Wisconsin.

    Twice a year the Bong Eagles hold a Spring and Fall Indoor Contest for an entire Sunday. Year after year Jack Boone, Joe Adams and Joe Adamek do an excellent job running the contests. Other notable legends who are members of the Bong Eagles are Tony Italiano and Gordy Wisnewski who are typically at the Sunday contests helping others. 

    Another Club that has worked hard promoting Indoor Free Flight is the Chicago Aeronauts. For many years Bob Warmann has been the Contest Director of the Annual Midwest Championships. Bob has done an excellent job organizing and running the contest along with being a fierce competitor. For the last few years the Chicago Aeronauts have held this event in the Armory at the University of Illinois a good Category III site. Notable legends who are members of the Chicago Aeronauts are Chuck Markos and Ed Konefes. 

    So if you are interested in Indoor Free Flight and live the Chicagoland area come out and have fun with a group of excellent modelers who are always willing to help.
