I have no financial interest in any of this, but came away very
excited with the potential and opportunities this offers to make
training more effective at a lower cost, and to provide some soaring
and racing during the winter. This has been available, but not widely
exposed to the soaring community as far as I can determine.

If there is sufficient interest, it seems to make sense to try to get
a monthly article started in the SSA Soaring Magazine to help folks
get started and share ideas.

Any comments, ideas and opinions will be appreciated.


The editor of the SSA mag has been in possession of a quite detailed
"How to Get Started With Condor" article for 6 months or more.
Apparently it has been relegated to the dustbin

It took that long to get my recent article on the Perlan Project
accepted and scheduled for publication. I don't know why it was so
difficult, but sending a copy to my SSA Director with some details on
how hard it was to get the article "adjusted" to Soaring Magazine's
requirements, things went more smoothly and quickly. Coincidence? Don't
know, but it was harder to get published than any of the other eight
articles I've submitted over the years. Keep trying. It's a good idea
that needs exposure.
