From the EDITOR..
This issue is somewhat special because we have included a lot of instructional lessons throughout the magazine to help you improve your flying skills and general flying and aviation knowledge. From learning about the energy of flight to building your own scenery and flight decks, to how to display and practice proper etiquette in the online aviation arena, this issue has it all! And of course we have our regular product reviews, round robin adventures and the latest news too.
This issue also marks the return of a very popular series – Freeware Frenzy! The bi-monthly guide to the best and most interesting freeware available online is back, and hosted by Larry Coleman, who will do the hard work finding and sorting through the abyss of freeware add-ons available online. We certainly hope you enjoy the return of this series and look out for it again in two months time!
You are now cleared for departure, so fire up the engines and head skyward as you read through the pages of this month’s issue of Computer Pilot Magazine!
