 Animals       Animals and hang gliding ... there are many dimensions to animals in the hang glider world. That could be one of the thousands of associate editorships in HGAusa The associate editor on that sector would review the history of animals in the hang glider world, speculate on futures, communicate with animal hang glider interfacing people, find references, critique on matters, etc. For the editor: must stay fun for her or him. Horse towing of hang gliders in 1910 and beyond. Training injured raptors. Training migration of birds. Soaring with birds. Bird decorations. Mimic of bird aerodynamics. Examining birds for clues on how to build and fly hang gliders. Dogs at launch and landing sites. Inappropriate landing in animal herds. How to respect farmers' animals when planning cross-country hang glider flikes. Animal sail decorations. Art and HG with animals. Poetry of animals and hang gliding. Giving disabled animals rides in the air with HGs. And much more...
Speculative and futuristic animal-HG items.
The arena easily could split to several associate editorships for Lift notes.
No deadlines. Pace is at the pleasure pace of the associate editor.

Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1907 made and flew Demoiselle (Damselfly); then in 1910 the world received full plans via Popular Mechanics magazine.       Clip image study here.

July 1910 Popular Mechanics: "How to build the famous "Demoiselle"
Santos-Dumont's Monoplane
by Arthur E. Joerin and A. Cross, A. M.
(Paris)
From time to time vague description of the manner of constructing aeroplanes have been given to the public. All over the United States there are thousands of persons who are intensely interested in the subject of aerial flight, but until now nothing of a tangible nature has been presented on which work could be started with a reasonable prospect of success. It is a great satisfaction therefore, to be able to present the working drawings of the wonderful monoplane invented by M. Santos-Dumont. As the authors point out, however, it would be useless for anyone not possessed of some mechanical skill, and plenty of common sense, to attempt to construct a copy of the famous flyer, even with such detailed workings and instructions. --THE EDITOR"
