I ask because we may be relocating to Charlotte by 2009. Just would like to know if there are any sailplane clubs there or nearby.

Talk to Jeff Carr, he lives on SC side of the line, but is in the area as well as Bernie Coleman.

Froggy,

When you get to Charlotte, try to get down to the HobbyTown in Pineville and let me know if Crazy Dave still owns it. He was great! I used to come in and find him flying a radio control blimp around the shop! I've still got a couple of plastic kits he gave me when I moved away. That was a great town!

Froggy, I thought you said something about Albuquerqe...... now it's Charlotte? I'm in GSO right now, unfortunately getting ready to go back to the desert in a few hours. But we'll be back for good early next year! Guess I'll have to change my screen name to NCSoaring :D

There really isnt a club but there are a few of us. Bob Whitney and myself have 3 meter stuff and there are quite a few DLG guys around.

We would be glad to have you. There are a few others too over in Waxhaw and S. Charlotte we just need to organize a little
