2025

Most of the competitors arrived bright and early (8:00am) for our pilots meeting by the Event Director (ED), Chris Goodin, for the AMA and FAI classes. Scale helicopters, due to slight miscommunication, will have its official pilots meeting on Monday morning.

Saturday (7/5/2025) was the first day of setup for the helicopter national championships for all classes of AMA and FAI disciplines.

The 2025 Indoor Free Flight Nats is in the books. The participants are in the process of returning home with new memories and plans for what to build before next year’s contest.

The 2025 Indoor Free Flight Nats return to the East Tennessee State University’s (ETSU) Mini-Dome in Johnson City, Tennessee. Tony Italiano brought the Nats to ETSU in 1987. The venue’s stable air and relative proximity to much of the United States’ indoor flying population led to its popularity as a Nats site.
