 Hi, Bob....
 RH> Hmm lets see. We have approx 70 members and 5 instructors. Our field
 RH> is located on 3 acres of land nice and close to town, and has been
 RH> there for well over 30 years so far.
 
 Thanks for coming back....sounds like your group is a comfortable size,
 wish we had more members - we are only 20 in size but growing slowly as
 more people become involved - our field is only a year old, located on
 a county-owned "soon-to-be-closed" landfill - if the wind comes from the
 wrong way, ugh !!! - the site is some 50 acres in size so we fly over a
 VERY WIDE range - paved runway is 25x300 ft and grassed runway is 
 100x600 ft, both are North-South so the afternoon sun is to the pilot's
 back - member's ages are 9 to 82, experience ranges from 40+ years to
 beginner.
 RH> I haven't started building yet! :) When it gets too snowy out come the
 RH> skis. :) It really opens up the number of places to fly :) The
 
 Oh yeah, you live up "Nawth" where that white stuff is popular - we get
 a light snow about once/year - sometimes it stays for a few hours - and
 when it does, it usually is a motorist's nightmare !!!
 RH> favourite plane in the hager right now is a sig cougar. There's
 RH> something about speed that get me going. :) I have a few on the table
 RH> right now, but am hoping to finish up my sig Bravo in time for spring.
 RH> I've never had a gas engine so the Zenoah will be a new adventure for
 RH> me :) TTYL
 I had a Sig Cougar once, enjoyed it immensely - the Sig Bravo should be
 a good flyer for you - saw one at the Joe Nall IMAA meet last year - I'd
 like to get started on a Sig Spacewalker for my Winter project using a
 gas engine - this will also be my first "gasser" - I need something big
 and spectacular for the Spring.  Keep us posted on the Bravo's progress.
 TTYL - Roger
