RE: Model Airplane News getting pushy?
Way back when I started subscribing, I always chose the max length subscription. RC Report, RCM, MAN, now FLY RC. AMA also. I never got renewal notices from anyone after the initial order, until the renewal was about due.
Until RCM went under. I resubscribed, and about a year later I started getting renewal slips from them, seemed like every week or so. I knew I had a year or so left on the subscription. Then the renewal slips (and the issues) stopped coming.
I think I had about 6 or 8 issues left on my subscription when RC Report closed the doors, and they offered to refund if you sent a request. I sent the request, just to see if they'd honor it, and they did.
MAN doesn't bother me until my subscription is due for renewal. If they did when I first subscribed, I've forgotten it.
Best wishes,
