Welcome to the July 1998 issue of Air Sports International.
In accordance with the planned editorial profile of the netzine we have, in this issue, ventured into newer areas. We have published articles on a common medical problem - pain in the arm while flying and a news item that appeared in the international media on a microlight that doubles as a car or a car that doubles as a microlight - in either case, innovative technology. The article - "Got a Little Arm Pain" is by Bert Berrong and has accompanying pieces by Jeffrey Granger and Todd Reiff, a Physical Therapist. The accompanying sketches are by Carol Granger. We thank Karen Diamond for letting us use these pieces from Sport Aerobatics. We have two articles on Gliding in Australia written by Roger Druce and Jonathan Shand, in this issue reproduced by kind courtesy of Noel Matthews, Editor, Australian Gliding. As a departure from our past format we also carry a Flight Report by Steve Taylor on flying two microlights. This report is being carried by kind courtesy of the author and David Bremner, Editor, MF (Microlight Flying). With this departure from past practice, we are now looking out to give you an even greater mix of articles and stories that may have caught the attention of the 'local' enthusiast but has not yet been circulated widely enough for persons in other air sports to read and appreciate. The very concept of Air Sports International is to present all air sports on a common platform. With these stories and some very interesting 'Letters to the Editor', I do hope you will enjoy the July issue as much as we had while researching and selecting articles for reproduction. Happy reading.
