There are some major staff changes we can report for AeroScale. After more than 10 years, Rowan Baylis, the sites Editor-in-Chief, is stepping down from the big chair and will be staying on but in more of a contributing role for AeroScale.

Hi Rowan.
I'm pleased to see you have released the "Stress" button. It will be good to see you modelling at your own pace and whims.
Cheers
Karl.

Rowan, Godspeed in this chapter. You have been great to work with and I am grateful for all you have done. I very much look forward to seeing you around the site. Sincerely,

Rowan,
Thanks for leading Aeroscale these past decade, I am sure that what this site is right now has much of you in it.
Still, perhaps now we will see some models from your works more often, right?
Cheers

Ten (10) years already? Well, time for something new for sure. Whomever will take your place has big shoes to fill
Thanks a lot for all the work done.
And please, please, please, please do stick around. I find it such a pity that some Aeroscale staffers who resign seem to wonder of in cyberspace and not much is heard of them afterwards.

All the best, Rowan. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I hope that your new direction will be full ceiling and a tailwind.

Congrats on a job very well done over the years Rowan, very much appreciated by the folks here and a hard act to follow.
Like the others, I am very much looking forward to seeing a bit more of your modeling skills on display now.
Cheers, D

Don't worry Drabslab. Although I've got a bunch of stuff to sort out on the home front and may have to rather drop off the radar for a little while to do so, once I'm past that I hope to be more active on Aeroscale than I've managed to be in ages.

All the best
Rowan
