If you can stand up for what you're willing to do (e.g., instruct) and
not do (e.g., maintenance), then even a club can work. Though I can see
why a club would salivate at getting a CFI (and hopefully a soon to be
CFIG) and an A&P member. Just be firm!

If you need more info, send me a private email and I'd be happy to
help.

Thank you for all the info! I'm pretty much stuck at home for a while,
since we're short of help at the office. I'll be doing this local. I
recently moved, and haven't checked out glider operations in north Texas,
but it's on the list of things to do.



I'm in Ft. Worth and although not rated as a pilot for any aircraft, I am an
A&P.

I know the airport in Decatur has a glider club and there is a huge club (?)
somewhere around Mesquite. I'm sure there are more, but these are two that I
know of.


Caddo Mills, right? I've landed there in an airplane before. I thought
there was one up north, but an internet search didn't turn up anything.
Don't know where Decatur is.
