Bug HLG

The club is in Rochester. They fly Tuesday nights in the gym at a 
place called The Rec Center. They also get to fly within the same 
building out on the indoor ice rink. Lots of room there and higher 
ceilings. They also have permission to fly out at the fieldhouse of 
the local college. They fly on the indoor running track. Again tall 
ceilings and more room. They also fly on Wednesday mornings at the 
local armory. 

I guess my concern was that all of these places have their dangers, 
i.e. bleachers, basketball nets, beams in the ceiling etc. Yes I know 
the not to fly into these things but sometimes they have a way of 
reaching out and grabbing your plane. I hear trees do this sometimes 
also. I just want to know if I float the bug into something like this 
if it will hold up. The leading edge of the wing looks fragile. It 
sounds like it is light enough and slow enough that it shouldn't be 
an issue.

Thanks for the quick feedback.
