This is another late issue, for which we apologize. And after a lot of thought, we’ve made a big decision. You can read about it in Roy’s column at the end of the magazine. One thing he forgot to mention, though, and it’s very important. For those of you who have already subscribed prior to this issue, your expiration dates will not be affected – you’ll still get the number of issues for which you’ve paid. This change will go into effect with all subscriptions from this point forward. And please know how much we appreciate the patience that you’ve shown us over the years as the two of us have tried to accomplish what nearly all the other magazines in the world do with a lot more staff! On a personal note, now: as many of you know from FaceBook, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2020 and have been dealing with that. So very many of you have sent cards, personal messages and texts, and notes on the FB posts, and your support has been much appreciated! This hasn’t been easy, but I’m doing well and continuing to do what I can for the recreational aviation community. Again, thank you for the support! Dan Johnson has some good information for you in this issue, including a short article on the Mt Vernon, Illinois, Midwest lsa Expo, one of the few events to take place last year. I was there and it was a good event, with Chris Collins and his team of volunteers putting on a good show for us! In this issue, we have a review from Dimitri Delemarle of the Lite Gyro Pagotto, an Italian machine. This is a nice little single-seat version. In Roy’s Top 10 article, he shares some of the things he’s learned over his many years of giving flight instruction. While he talks about powered parachute training, a lot of this is also relevant to training in any kind of recreational aircraft. Jeff Hamann is back with Part vii of his trip around the coast of Colombia in a powered paraglider. This is the final part of his adventures down the coast of that country. Jeff had quite the adventure! As always, he’s provided some spectacular photos of his trip. We also have a book review, press releases, a calendar of events (Covid-19 restrictions permitting), and advertisers with products for you to look over. Here’s to a good 2021 – may we all be healthy!
