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.

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
