Okay then. Should I put you down to make a $3000 or a $6000 loan pledge to your local club?

We - Carolina Soaring Assoc. - are actively looking for a modern two-seater.. Since there is nothing useable on the open US-market, we have expanded our search to overseas. We are also discussing various financing models and yes, soliciting pledges from members is on the list.
