If you are a avid R/C airplane person, this is the magazine to get. It is better than Model Aviation that comes with your AMA membership because it has articles and reviews of the latest products available -- Not just sections relating to AMA events/areas of interest. I always like to know about the latest gadgets available and how they relate to existing technology.

However, take all reviews with the understanding that they will never have a negative review (fearful of killing an up and coming manufacturer with a bad review). You have to read between the lines. But, after reading a few reviews you will understand what I mean.

I took this magazine for a year and found it rather disappointing, there was little real content. I was starting to thing that all the magazines had become just ad space for retailers until I picked up Fly RC, I find that it has much more actual content.

There's no meat in this mag! Did I buy a catalog? There are better, more informative magazines in this hobby. It's not a bad rag, just not a good one. It does have alot of color photo's and decent reviews. They're not about things that interest me, though. If you like nothing but ARF's and are not interested in any other aspect of the hobby like building and designing then this magazine is for you.
Well, infrequently they have plans and other stuff. Mostly electric though. I'm a diehard "slimer" of the 1/2A variety.

This is a great magazine if your in the hobby.
My only issue is that I think magazine subscriptions (esspecially renewals)
should prcess much faster. But solved the renwal issue with "auto-renwal".
Won't have that issuse again.

I have never seen another model airplane magazine like this one.
The price is just right, the editorial, product reviews, how to's, and pic's are all amazing, and the subscription is a breeze.
This magazine is for everyone, from beginners to pros, and I fall in between the two.
If you are looking for a great all around RC plane magazine that is always appealing, always relevant and always a fair price then this is the one for you.

AS ALL MAGAZINES THEY BECOME A CATOLOG FOR SELLING.
ITS NICE TO SEE ALL THE NEW STUFF OUT THERE.
BUT WHEN YOU PUT IN MORE TEACHING ITEMS, THATS WHAT THE CUSTOMER IS LOOKING FOR.AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ROOM FOR YOUR TEACHING ITEMS JUST ADD A FEW MORE PAGES.
LIKE RC AIRPLANES, HOW TO BUILD ,PUT IN MOTORS, ON AND ON .
THATS WHY I BUY MAGAZINES NOT WHAT YOU CAN SELL ME BUT WHAT YOU CAN TEACH ME.
THANK YOU
