John -
Forgive my ignorance, but as someone who's only been soaring for 3
years I'm not familiar with you or your work. The website doesn't
have a lot of details about your history, qualifications, etc.
I'm intrigued, but I hope you can understand my reluctance to drop $64
on an "unknown" (to me) author/pilot.
I post this not to be a jerk, but to suggest that you provide more
info in your promotional posts and on your website. That way people
can educate themselves about you and your work, as they hear about
your posts & products.

I also subscribe to gliding international, and heartily endorse it.
It's a very good, informative publication. Sailplane and gliding is
also excellent.

Noel,
I've been soaring 37 years and have subscribed to many fine soaring
related magazines over the years. "Gliding International" is a
relatively new magazine and has quickly become an outstanding
publication. I am sure others can talk in more detail about John
Roake, but I can tell you that John has put together a great magazine
filled with: international soaring news, pilot reports on new
sailplanes, articles on weather, instrumentation, soaring techniques,
glider personalities, etc, etc. If you decide to subscribe, I am sure
that you will not be disappointed!
Thanks - Renny Rozzoni

Noel,
S&G is the BGA publication.
Both GI and S&G are published in six issues annually.
Surely someone in your area subscribes to one, the other, or both.
Try to check both out and read more than one issue of each. I think
you'll like what you find.
John Roake pushed Gliding Kiwi out the door for many years before
launching Gliding International.

Gliding International is an excellent publication and a good read. Two
thumbs up. John Roake has done a good thing with the publication and I
appreciate his posts here.
