OK, so maybe the pictures aren't National Geographic quality and the
editorial content leaves something to be desired, but RCSD still fills a
niche. It was here long before "Quiet Flyer" and "Quiet and Electric
Flight" came into existence and was borne out of a desire to provide the R/C
soaring community with information. When it was first published, R/C soaring
information had been relegated to columns in magazines filled with engine
and propeller advertisements. Over the years, it has done just that, often
on a shoestring. I, personally found this issue's account of the young lady
BUILDING and flying her modified 2x6 a refreshing change from the recurring
accounts of stuffing expensive servos into the latest expensive moldie in
most of the other publications. The young lady is a true "woodcrafter".
Did you check out her next project?
RCSE sprang into existence for many of the same reasons - an exclusive
place for R/C soarers to almost instantaneously exchange information. It,
too, has served admirably over its lifespan. There's room in my world for
both.
