I guess this is one of the biggest differences between "Soaring" and
"Free Flight". If Tony Burton, the editor of Free Flight, hears about
something news worthy happening and no one submits an article, he will
write one. Notice in the "Free Flight" link posted earlier, Tony
authored articles.

Many decades ago, a SOARING editor like Doug Lamont was an active
soaring pilot, and both wrote articles and approached pilots about
writing articles. Now, it appears that the editor has no active
involvement in the soaring scene, and passively chooses articles from
whatever appears in each month's mailbag.




In contrast, to be news worthy in "Soaring", having the skills to design
and build a fabulous sailplane isn't enough, you must also be an author.

I don't really care that Soaring has given the HP-24 Project zero
coverage in Soaring Magazine. That is as I have come to expect.

But I think that Brad has been treated pretty shabbily here. His
Tetra-15 is arguably one of the best amateur-built sailplanes there
has ever been, and I think it would be nice if you didn't have to
subscribe to the Canadian national soaring magazine to read a few
column inches about it.

Yours is a good story and it should be in Soaring. However, to get it
published, you have to write it. There are no reporters on the
Soaring staff. Just sending in photos won't get it done.



: You are just plain wrong. Just two months ago I spent a three-day weekend soaring with the editor of Soaring. I'll second what Bill said, though: if you want an article in Soaring, write it. I've done that several times. Fred


He flew with you in your commercial operation? Three days of dual flights?

I've replied to this previously, but it does not seem to have posted. If this is a duplicate post I apologize.

No, Chuck and I flew with the Consolidated Glider Clubs of Southern California at a winch clinic in Jacumba, San Diego County. I highly recommend the clinic if another comes up and anyone wants a winch endorsement. Fred

Greg: I am no longer in a commercial operation. We were flying out of a small strip called Jacumba in San Diego Co. A three day winch clinic sponsored by the Consolidated Glider Clubs of Southern Ca. Fred
