James,

I cheated, and called up Phil direct, as I already knew him from the IHLGF
events
at Poway.  Phil has been the artist/craftsman that has been making the
Encores
for the past couple of years, so I already had an "in".

I'm quite fortunate in that I have met a wide variety of fliers from a large
number
of places, so I have "connections" all over the place.  But, I do remember
what
I did back in the early days when I moved around a bit for jobs and school.

My recommendation when
headed somewhere new/different, is to find some way to personalize the
contact.
Find someone that has flown in the area, do some web surfing, or
alternately,
swing by a hobby store when you are in the area.  They usually can point you
to
the local club fields, or sometimes even get you connected with a local
flier.

I've had a lot of great experiences going to different places to meet other
fliers,
and of course, fly.

Joe
