Another DAISO find

​People keep finding useful building bits and pieces at Daiso like foam board and bamboo. Here's another.

It is a nail filing board that is made of fine abrasive in a neat pattern that does not clog. Seems to be about 400 grit and very rigid so it makes a good tool for sanding indoor size balsa and Depron. It leaves a very accurate straight smooth surface. There are several Daiso stores in Melbourne. Like most Daiso items it is $2.80.

If you wish to join the 'Indoor Aviation special interest group', contact the President or Hon Secretary.

Who are we?

The Australian Men's Shed Association - special interest group- Indoor Aviation 
Melbourne Victoria Australia. 
Indoor Aviation is a 'special interest group'- approved and insured* under Australian Men's Shed Association.
http://www.mensshed.org/  Membership is open to all.
* Insurance coverage is for Indoor flying only at AMSA Indoor Aviation venues.

Basics

All persons wishing to fly must sign in and out on the 'attendance register' to be covered by AMSA insurance. 
Non-marking soft sole shoes must be worn at all times on the courts.
No combustion fuel powered aircraft are permitted to fly at any Indoor Aviation venues.

In order to ensure safe flying in the 'shared' indoor space together with fragile free flight aircraft, all remote controlled aircraft will normally use 2.4 GHz equipment and single LiPo cells of not more than 350mAh capacity. This restriction also applies to helicopters and other rotor-craft. 

Reasonable exceptions to this rule (for example the use of Infra Red and alternative legal radio frequencies or 2 cell LiPos) are at the absolute discretion of the Officer in Charge on the day and the onus is on the flyer to show that the use of such equipment will cause no potential damage to the flying environment and that any possible control conflicts are properly managed. More details here: Rules and Protocols 

To assist in the provision of a safe and shared flying environment, please respect the guidance and decisions of the 'Officer-Charge' at the flying events.
