Our July issue will go in the mail on Wednesday. It is one of our very best and includes:

• A review of seven new two seater sailplanes not previously announced and now being produced and marketed.
• A six page evaluation of the Schempp-Hirth Arcus sailplane with a test flight report from the expert, Aldo Cernezzi.
• An in depth report on Aero 2013 sailplane Exposition at Friedrichshafen, Germany. The biggest yet.
• The “Crossover” two seater motor-glider is the first to be able adjust wingspan in flight. This is record breaking news.
• Did you know that there was $12.68 million dollars worth of sailplanes flying at the Uvalde worlds? See for yourself!
• New plan to provide finance to secure your own sailplane.
• Extremely interesting flight story about a Rookie pilot and his almost successful 1000 km flight in a JS-1. Could be you!
• Our country of interest this issue is Greece and boy will the conditions there surprise you.
• See the photo of the first seaplane glider. It is a ‘launched by launch’ glider.
• A new feature “Lets Chat”. The month’s most interesting stories recorded on a gliding chat frequencies. This time three pilots discuss stall recovery in sailplanes as opposed to the Air France Flight 447 disaster.
• How 18 different countries treat a situation on how they manage the acquisition of two gliders. Good humour.
• Details of the 25 story high monument to the Wright Brothers with a model of their sailplane perched on top. The model in stainless steel is to have a 140 ft wing span.
• Details of the first two-seat trainer that has an electric motor driving a nose cone propeller. Unit powered by a fixed petrol motor in the fuselage that has a built-in generator. The most sensible motor glider yet!
• Report on the 25th birthday of the European Air Sport’s management. They are making more progress on sensible administration, aided by the European Aviation Safety Authority. The group is working collectively and in harmony.
• And a story about the colliery worker from Wales and the building of a replica of a sailplane that was built before the Wright Brothers.
• Changes you can expect starting next year with the GPS service you have come to accept. Not long now before your present equipment could be out of date and need replacing.
• An eight page report on the latest in sailplane instrumentation. Updated to the very latest available.
• Update report from Ritz exclusively for Gliding International. She writes about this season’s winners (and losers) in Europe.
