THE SOARING SCENE






This is a newsletter aimed at encouraging and assisting model pilots to participate in soaring, particularly in the Marlborough area. It will concentrate on soaring and the Model Flying New Zealand organised National Decentralised Competitions (NDC). Currently there is a small group of enthusiasts in Marlborough who fly models in a variety of events including aerotowing, slope soaring and some of the NDC events and we would really like to see a greater participation, hence this newsletter.

As the editor, I do not profess to be an expert but I am an enthusiast. The newsletter will appear on a “now and then” basis at this stage and you can expect to see reports on events that have been held as well as photos and discussion of soaring activity in the area. I would welcome contributions from others which could include model reviews, build tips, photographs, suggestions, questions or jokes. As long as it’s relevant I’ll find a place for it.

Feel free to comment as well - bouquets or brickbats, they are all helpful.
