As far as I can tell, this all started with a discussion between people who either liked to see serious written articles, pretty much regardless of the quality of the accompanying pictures, and someone who embraces the fact that glossy pictures will be even more important in the future than they already seem to be right now.
Some people fly sailplanes just for fun, like kites. Others make them into engineering or science projects. Still others are doing this as a sport, not unlike, say, bicycle racing. Don't most of us have something from all three approaches? So, couldn't we just (a) say that all these types of people are perfectly acceptable flyers and/or club members; and then (b) write more good serious articles to be printed for those who like reading; and (c) print pretty pictures anywhere else for those who like to see airplane pictures? It would seem that all sides have something to offer. Rense Lange RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
