  • JULY 2015 Warbirds Over Wanaka 2016
    In this Issue: Kaikoura Fly-in Farewell to the Iroquois Flying to Mount Cook Mayday, Mayday, Mayday Club facilities for visitors JULY 2015 Warbirds Over Wanaka 2016 July 2015 Magazine Editor’s Letter – Magazine format, benefits of a club The new magazine format and name was generally well received. Last month’s bumper issue was a result of some very good input by CRAC members and others. I aim for little improvements every month, but the next step may involve a move away from Microsoft Word as the content editor. It seems that 24 pages of text boxes and images gets quite clunky, it can take hours to reformat after changing something near the beginning of the document! All good fun though, and it’s a very satisfying job when it is done. I doubt that we will hit 24 pages every time. The centrefold hasn’t gained any comments but I enjoy doing it. It also adds a couple of extra pages which saves my old fingers a little typing. To have a centrefold the total number of pages must be evenly divisible . by four, which makes it interesting. This is because the printed versions should have the centrefold smack in the middle for it to make sense. If the nearly finished product has (say) 19 pages, the centrefold takes it to 21 so I have to find 3 more pages of content or reduce it to 20. It’s all a learning experience! I aim to keep the content relevant to the club, but it’s not always going to be Microlight/LSA related.
