Soaring Tech - November Soaring

Looks like a blatant Craggy Aero advertisement. Any type of hard or
soft compensation involved in this? Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe Bill was impressed.
He commonly has nice things to say about the products he reviews. He
had very nice things
to say about the Clearnav not so long ago.
Methinks you are too suspicious.

Yes, I think I am generally more suspicious these days.

I just wonder if a line is crossed when someone on the writing staff
recommends that people go out and buy THESE great gifts for their
favorite pilot.

Cheerio,

Hi Jim,

I'm a competitor to Craggy Aero. While the article did mention Craggy Aero
products, it has (in past issues) mentioned many of items I sell - such as
Xenotronix battery chargers and the NK ClearNav. I don't mind him
mentioning competitor's products since he has mentioned many I sell in the
past. He seems pretty fair to me so far. I enjoy his column.

Best Regards,

OK. I then offer my apologies. It must be the cumulative impact of
Iraq, Iran, Acorn, etc.

And with good reason! Irag, Iran, ....and Acorn? As a problem, it's too
small to even include in the "etc.", when you lead with Iraq and Iran.
But I should probably wait until I see the November issue to understand
the impact.
