Re: Flying Clubs/Events
I see a flying club in Sacramento in this list, though the list is pretty old, last updated in September of 2012. If you contact them, let me know if it's successful and maybe we can add it to a list in the original post.DoctaDave wrote:Does anyone know of anything in Sacramento?

Re: Flying Clubs/Events
His name seems really familiar. I must have seen it online somewhere, but he might have also proctored at my regional comp, as the ES definitely knew what he was doing, and he also showed me a picture of his F1D.
Thanks for the info calgoddard.

Re: Flying Clubs/Events
Just realized I repeated information provided by Bernard about the San Diego clubs. Oops! Maybe the double posting will help publicize those two clubs and their contests.
