December K-Factor and growth

[Xwindflyer at aol.com]

I don't believe that printing old stuff would be as much of value  that 
asking the guys now to help out. For one tting, so many things are  different. 
there's almost nobody that builds with balsa now compared to the  past. Engines 
are alot different han in the 70's and 80's. Even trimming a plane  is different 
with the computer radios now.
 
maybe old stuff  could be used is some small way, maybe a stepping  stone, 
but Pattern is so muc different that before. Just my 2 cents

Why  not reprint articles from the past? I remember reading superb articles 
on  painting in the 80s and 90s that any newcomer would find extremely 
valuable. I  would now, also. There were dozens of great articles on setup, wing  
sheeting, trimming, how to's on maneuvers, etc. Tons of great articles by many  
talented members that have since moved on.

I think paying for articles is definitely an option  however I would hope 
that pattern pilots would do it because they want to do  it... I can fully 
understand if we were a "for profit" company and we were  dependant on quality 
articles then payment would definitely be in  line.  As to using the K-Factor to 
grow pattern - absolutely!   However it needs to be attractive as a magazine to 
attract new pilots -  articles like I mentioned below are what I feel will 
attract  people.
