As the columnist for Model Aviation Soaring, I can tell you it isn't an easy
task. First, it is a bi monthly column. Second, I'm given 1500 words and
room for 5 pictures. It is very difficult to please everyone in the Soaring
world.
Mark summed it best, it is a $$$ issue plain and simple. Every discipline of
Modeling want and expects equal coverage. It ain't gonna happen. In the
meantime, email me and tell me what you want in the column. I'll be happy to
cover as much as I can.

David,
I think that Mr. Hunt was working in generalities in his statement, not
smashing RC soaring; remember that a RC soaring club is an "RC" club.
Whether any of us like it or not, power RC flying is the backbone of RC
flying and it is where the $'s are in advertising and production. Have
you ever seen Samba or Maple Leaf advertising in Model Aviation? No, and
I do not expect it, we are a cottage industry and that is a reality of rc
soaring. I am glad that Darwin and Dave cover our interest in the
magazine, many soaring editors have done a great job for us in the past as
well.
Marc
