I would but i'm a member of the 716 Airforce Cadets club in WA....
The problem i have is we are aimed at doing early flying trainin to basically C
cert , then we encourage the students to join a local club and continue there
training and further flying,
At the moment we have only instructing staff as full members, consisting of 2
instructors, 1 Aei, and 2 tuggies in training (one being me),and 1 Puchatek,
i'm at the point where i have to join another club eg Berverly , Narrogin or
GCWA to continue the more advanced flying and tryout some comp stuff to see if
i make the grade,
So its off to another club for me
What i would like to do once a tiny couple of ticks in the boxes for my
training are completed is to attend a "Coaching" type event over east, where i
can burn some fequent flyer points before they become extinct, go for a holiday
fly my guts out and hopefully pick up some finer points of gliding over a week
and a half and enjoy the sport before i find myself doing the aei thing and
hearded into the tug, and meet the other juniors in the sport over a couple of
tinnies / or reds for the older folk.
Joey glide looked like it would fit my bill very nicely obviously not as a
competitor now ... but if coaching in a twin for a week is avbl i'm still
interested.
It would be nice to fly a glider and actually see the vario go above zero and
finally break through 5000ft.... i hear its been done before but ive never been
in a cockpit and seen it when it has happened ........8-), and when i have
cracked the long hour flights i always seem to have ballast sitting behind me ,
which negates the use of those flight towards my C cert..... Bummer.
Regards
Ben

Ben, i'm sure we could find something for you to do....
Why not encourage someone from your club to compete, and crew for them!
