Hi guys

When I was a lot younger I was a member of COGG, it was (is) a great group to belong to, and now that I'm over in the Peterborough/Belleville area I've always wanted to start a similar type of group. So what I'm asking here is....are there any other serious glider flyers out near me that would be interested in forming such a group? Notice I said a group, and not a club!

I know there are several power clubs in my area that have members that fly electric gliders, but I'm more of a pure glider kind of flyer utilizing both high starts and a winch for launching. Now these forms of launching gliders don't really mix well with the power guys, that's why I'm after like minded folks that want a dedicated glider field.

If you are interested, please send me a PM and we can talk about the potential of such an idea?

Depending upon the amount of positive feedback I receive, I will either take this idea further or keep flying by myself.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Blake, sorry I do not fly gliders, but GOOD FOR YOU in wanting to take the initiative to start a group. I find that in many clubs now, there are a lot of people willing to follow, but not lead.

Good luck with your efforts and I hope you get to establish your glider group.

I would love to join in but I think you guys are a little too far for me.

It all depends on where we end up getting based out of?

yes, you are correct, it depends on where it ends up, any other hits so far?

Hi Guys

Well I've recieved 1 reply for far, so I guess this isn't going to happen.

It is difficult to get glider guys going, it seems everyone is a bit of a loaner and does not contact many people. I guess it is a nature of the sport in Canada, clubs do not support it and the field requirements are different then the rest of the hobby, so everyone does their own thing. I hope someone can prove me wrong on this point.

Hello Blake. I just spotted your post and grinned from ear to ear! I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a response. I for one would be very much into the formation of a group of like minded individuals for the soul purpose of soaring. I have toiled with the very idea you are proposing and look forward to discussing it in detail! PM me your Addy and tel number so we can arrange an outing! I have several virgin 1/3 scale beauties I'm eager to speak out!

Cheers
David

guys,do yourself a favour and look into DLG gliders. Skip the winches and highstarts . In fact skip the huge fields as well. You will never look back.
