Hi all, 
There is a full size glider club down here (oz) that runs special promotions
to get Japanese tourists in for gliding holidays - either to learn , or get
more time for those already qualified in them.
It struck me that maybe something similar may be of interest to R/C fliers on
holiday down here. It shouldn't be too hard to at least make lists of Clubs
and flying sites available to tourists through their own national control
bodies (like the AMA) so that they can get in touch for at least a look-see and
chat. To be able to fly for more than a few times would mean some sort of
short term honorary membership (to get insurance) and a check flight, and a run
down of any local rules. Most clubs here allow visitors 3 visits before asking
them to join formally. From what I have seen, about 80% of fliers here fly
Mode 1, but I believe most US fliers are Mode 2 ??? is this correct.
Anyway, how many out there have/might/will visit Oz some time, and would like
to at least visit a club, and/or fly while they're here?? .
To give you an idea of our field: about 25km from centre of a metro area of 
>2.2 million, in the back of a public park, next to a Golf course (a little
overflight on approach from the south) , 1 N/S strip grass (but good) ~400+ft,
1 ~E/W 300 ft(downhill slightly), overfly area ~ 50 acres, nearest road is
visible ~.7 km away current ceiling 300ft (but applied for 1000ft), < 15mins
drive for most members. membership 130+, but rare to see more than 20 pilots
at the strip at any one time. No club house as yet (tenure is not secure) but 
we are working on it. Flying any time after 9:00 AM any day.

Let me know if there is any interest at all, or e-mail if you want info on
sites to visit if you are coming anytime anyway.
