Our location is about an hours drive south of the U.S border in Northern Baja California. We have approximately seven square miles of isolated training & testing space which we lease from local Mexican land owners (EJIDO). Our exclusive concession with the EJIDO covers UAV hobby through manned, ultralight aircraft.
We will be conducting clinics for students who who want to get up-to-speed as quickly and safely as possible. Our first offering will be for new Arducoptor pilots. These five-day events include ground transportation from/to the San Diego Airport, daily breakfast, lunch & happy hour.
We are looking for one or two volunteers to help us fine-tune our curriculum and other aspects of our program.

I have a nice flying site in N. Nevada if anyone is interested in setting something up.
Setting one up in Canada might be a plan where they have a standard you can train to.
If you guys allow planes down there I'd love to wonder across the border. I'm flying at Otay pretty close to Mexico already. I'm just waiting on my SENTRY card!
The location isn't open source. There's a lot of unused, prime coastal land down there. The interstates haven't opened up the suburbs.
I see hills....having the hills there will be great for wind and PID testing since you'll either get shielded or roll-off winds and thermals... and gets you closer to the more challenging urban-like conditions (3DR San Diego parking lot? :) )

I was trying to look at the way the curriculum was designed, but I discovered the site is pretty much password protected. Hummm...
South of the border down Mexico way:-) Nice!
