Hobbies Airplanes Models Radio-Control

Roanoke has a new airport. When the weather is lousy outside, that's when you'll find these area radio-control model airplane pilots take to the air--in a skating rink. From age 10 on up, watch the video to see pilots enjoy the fascination of flight.

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I'll definitaly check it out. Could you please post a comment on where the skating rink is so we can attend. Thanks for the video Hankibear.

The roller rink is on Brandon Ave.--Skate Center of Roanoke Valley. Most flyers are members of the Roa. Valley Radio Control Club--they have a flying field behind Timber Truss in Salem. The guys only learn when they can fly about a week in advance.
