The author of the proposal is a long time RC sailplane enthusiast who has extensive experience in current online publishing media and methodologies, as well as social media.
There are a numer of changes inherent in this potential move. Here are three major changes that would take place:
While the magazine would still be available online at no charge, there may well be some sort of advertising in the form of sponsor inserts, banner ads, or similar. Additionally, items specifically designated for RCSD - like t-shirts, mugs, and other merchandise - may be made available for purchase.
As was true with RCSD from the start, anyone can submit materials, but it would now be possible for contributors to post submissions (including videos!) directly to the magazine after approval of the content by the editor.
The only real negative envisoned in this proposal is the magazine would no longer be available as an easily printed PDF. Rather, it would be more akin to a series of web pages accessible via computer, tablet, or smart 'phone, and which would most likely be available only through digital means.
There are several other considerations to be taken into account, but we at this point are intensely interested in obtaining feedback from RCSD readers past and present to determine reader interest in and enthusiasm for such a move.
Feedback, questions, and requests for more details regarding this proposal can be directed to us at <bsquared@rcsoaringdigest.com>.
Many thanks for your input!
