The Trailing Edge

Let’s keep this juggernaut rolling.

It has been an exciting month here at the home office of the New RC Soaring Digest. Not only did we get a buzz out of being able to report some late breaking news — quite conceivably on our pages before you heard it anywhere else — but we were also able to bring you great feature articles from some of our favourite contributors both old and new. We also had the distinct honour of being able to feature great continuing series which have been warmly embraced by readers and form a firm foundation for each issue. We’re thankful to all for their great stories, and we are very thankful to readers for tearing through them. There is nothing quite like the feeling of getting an issue out in the hands of those who truly appreciate it.

We also feel we’re delivering on our commitment to deliver “more content…in more formats”: we are truly excited about our new audio offering, and our fingers are crossed that our plans for the RCSD Podcast continue to evolve. Before you know it, you may be able to ditch whatever it is you’re listening to now on your way to and from work and replace it with something truly interesting.

Finally, keep in mind that RCSD is a reader-written publication. That means readers like you. Do you have a great story to tell — we want to hear from you!

New in the RCSD Shop

We have the perfect head gear for those chilly days on the slope — of which there are still many to go here in the frozen north. In five great colours, this embroidered beauty has a snug fit that ensures you’re going to feel cozy and warm: 60% cotton, 40% acrylic; breathable cotton blend; form-fitting shape; one size fits most. Already torture-tested to -25C in the recent cold snap here at the home office. So why wait, the New RC Soaring Digest Embroidered Beanie is available now in the RCSD Shop.

Ever wonder how the New RC Soaring Digest keeps coming to you in a pristine, commercial-free format? It’s because all proceeds from the RCSD Shop go directly to supporting the considerable ongoing operating costs of RCSD.

Make Sure You Don’t Miss the New Issue

If you don’t want to miss the March issue of the New RC Soaring Digest make sure you subscribe to our Groups.io mailing list or connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn. And please share RCSD with your friends — we would love to have them as readers, too.

That’s it for this month! Thanks again to all of our contributors and above all, thank you, the RCSD reader — without you, we’re nothing.

Now get out there and fly!
