GA flying in the Copenhagen area
I'm new to Copenhagen (have an Australian CPL) and would like to get involved with an Aero Club while I'm here for work. Do people have any recommendations? Somewhere that also has a flying school attached would be great in case I decide to go ahead and convert my license.
If Copenhagen itself isn't a great option, I'm more than happy to go to Malmo or elsewhere on Zealand.
Also - would love to hear of any particularly nice/friendly glider or ultralight clubs? (maybe I'll just get a license fly the cheaper/lighter stuff while I'm here?!)
Thanks in advance.

Sweden
If you go over the bridge to Sweden there a few aeroclubs not too far away.
Malmö/Sturup(Mostly Pipers, DA40) - Välkommen till Sturup Flygklubb
Söderslätt(Mainly UL) - ESTT - Hem
Landskrona(Piper, Cessna) - Landskrona Flygklubb
I would guess that these clubs are within 60-90 minutes drive from Copenhagen.
Seems as only Landskrona's site is available in "healthy" english so you can contact me if there is some information you need that you can't find.
I'm not a member of any of these clubs though I have friends that are.
Good luck!

Thought I would update - I ended up going with SturubFlygklubb in Malmo. A really friendly bunch and the attached flying school was great to deal with. My main reasons were that hire costs in Sweden seem to be around 15% cheaper than Denmark, and I could get a Swedish license validation for free, whereas the Danish authorities change. So for the next year, Malmo it is!
2 questions which someone may be able to answer:
1) Would the requirements for a JAA conversion of my CPL be the same in all European countries? (as opposed to the 12 month validation requirements which each country manages separately). Or are the better/worse ones to do it in? (unsure yet if I'll do it, but if I end up staying for more than 12 months, I may have to!)
2) Any suggestions for scenic flights or places to visit on day trips in Southern Sweden / Zealand area?
