It's funny that this should come up. The new issue was sitting on the kitchen counter when I came home the other night. I flipped through it and commented to my wife "I wonder how much I would have to pay the AMA to NOT get this thing every month?"
I can't remember the last time I saw a really beautiful sailplane shot on the cover of the magazine. Or coverage of major soaring contests with nice photos. Where is the coverage of our USA F3J team, which has just held team selections? And ongoing coverage of their progress in international competition? Where is the coverage about the speed records being broken in dynamic soaring? I'm at the point where it pretty much goes straight in the trash every month after reading Dave and Darwin's short columns. This month, we didn't even get those. Perhaps if we started building sailplanes out of foam meat trays, we could compete with "Pvt Kool's Bipe". Geez. I encourage you to support my friend and fellow Seattle Area Soaring Society member Bill Kuhlman, who publishes the RC Soaring digest each month at no cost to the community.

In this writers opinion they have done it again, or perhaps I should write, failed to do it again. I have read and re read trying to find any thing that this group presumably the largest percentage of whom are AMA members discuss ie soaring. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
