Aredub,

I think the idea of a "formal" club with chapters would be an excellent idea. I am a member of the local EAA chapter in my area and, as such, have resources available to me for little or no cost. As the SVX platform ages, repair and parts replacement will be an increasing concern. I know in the EAA there are video and tool loan banks for members. This is also a possibility for a club such as this. Additionally, a "formal" schedule of meets would allow for greater attendance due to better advanced planning. Also, meets could be scheduled to take into account weather considerations. I know I'd rather go to a meet in Florida in December rather than one in Wisconsin.

At least that's my vote.

John
