Flight inside the M.I.N
( Market of national interest )
Indoor flying is practiced indoors, often in gyms. In NICE, you have the chance to use a much larger infrastructure!
The room dimensions are about 140 m long (we use only about 100 m), 45 m wide, with a height of 13 m minimum ceiling (about 18 m maximum).
Following the dissolution of the Departmental Aeromodelism Committee (CDAM06), decided by the French Federation of Aeromodelism (FFAM), during its restructuring at the end of 2016, the MACNICE was appointed to manage the modeling activity in the Flower Hall of the MIN of Nice Saint-Augustin (near the airport).
Our Club has therefore signed a new agreement, in early 2017, with the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropole, manager of the M.I.N. d'Azur. According to this convention, the M.A.C. NICE is allowed to use this huge hall that is the Flower Hall of the MNI. (Markets of National Interest) of Nice Saint-Augustin, on the days and times specified below.
- Since April 29, 2025, access to the M.I.N. has been through the main entrance (Gate B), from Boulevard du Mercantour. Once through the entrance, simply go straight ahead and go around the building in front of you on the right and park behind it (red line).
- Entrance through Gate A (yellow line) will be effective as of June 1, 2025.
- To exit, both gates are already active.
*** To access it, you must present the magnetic access card which is given by the Club to frequent users.
Don't hesitate to ask the President of the Club, who will have it done for you very quickly.
