thanks Soaring Magazine

I provided soaring magazine with dozens of high quality images shot
from the ground and from the air of the Tetra-15. First flight was 3
months ago and for some reason the editor has elected to entertain us
with pictures of Libelles and other European glass.

You would think after 10 years of dedicated hard work and perseverance
at least 1 picture would make it into the magazine.

Well, I bet the DuckHawk and Concordia get some page time in the next
issue.

Thanks again guys,
Brad

I don't really care that Soaring has given the HP-24 Project zero
coverage in Soaring Magazine. That is as I have come to expect.

But I think that Brad has been treated pretty shabbily here. His
Tetra-15 is arguably one of the best amateur-built sailplanes there
has ever been, and I think it would be nice if you didn't have to
subscribe to the Canadian national soaring magazine to read a few
column inches about it.

Thanks, Bob K.

Yours is a good story and it should be in Soaring. However, to get it
published, you have to write it. There are no reporters on the
Soaring staff. Just sending in photos won't get it done.

Bob & Brad, I think Bill has it right, you guys could probably write up a multi-issue article on building the Tetra-15/ HP24. Having followed the progress it really is a very interesting story and should be told by those who know it best. You could probably extract most of it from the HP website and Facebook.

Something that is interesting is that I got a hold of a stack of old
soaring magazines that were about to be discarded and back in the 70's
Soaring actually had a regular column for homebuilt sailplanes. Maybe
some emails to the editor could bring something like this back.

I guess this is one of the biggest differences between "Soaring" and "Free
Flight". If Tony Burton, the editor of Free Flight, hears about something
news worthy happening and no one submits an article, he will write one.
Notice in the "Free Flight" link posted earlier, Tony authored articles.

In contrast, to be news worthy in "Soaring", having the skills to design and
build a fabulous sailplane isn't enough, you must also be an author.

Wow. What a nice magazine and so nice that it is available on the web.

Many decades ago, a SOARING editor like Doug Lamont was an active
soaring pilot, and both wrote articles and approached pilots about
writing articles. Now, it appears that the editor has no active
involvement in the soaring scene, and passively chooses articles from
whatever appears in each month's mailbag.

: You are just plain wrong. Just two months ago I spent a three-day weekend soaring with the editor of Soaring. I'll second what Bill said, though: if you want an article in Soaring, write it. I've done that several times. Fred
