Na, FNG. If that was on offer, I'd be there first

The way it works (at least in my experience) is that you find yourself a ride in a Spit or a Yak, then you write it up and see if an editor wants to publish it. If it is well written, with good photos, the editor will buy. If it's a very interesting piece but not well written, the editor will edit it (maybe he smokes a pipe and wears a knobbly cardy?? ).

If you owned a 2-seat Spit or tailwheel Yak would you give someone a free ride just so they could write up a mag article? If you do own such a machine, and you would like to see a write-up in one of the mags, PM me. I promise a cliche-free article
