RE: Has RCM folded?
From their site:As a nonprofit organization, we are not beholden to any commercial interest. We accept no free samples, and we pay for all the products and services we test.
NON-PROFIT, you won't see a regular magazine survive long like that. They also request donations and sell their magazines. They ask for $26.00 per year or $5.95 for one month. Annual is roughly equivelent to RCM subscription cost and $5.95 is much higher that news stand price for a single issue of RCM.

I just took a look at the Dec highlights: it appears Brian Winch is the only remaining RC contributor. At least as of that issue. Sad to see, but evidently inevitable.

Not doing nearly as much as I used to do at RCR. I write for High Flight and since they only publish 4 magazines a year, I do only 3 to 4 planes a year.
No, I do not want to get into the publishing business. It's a jungle out there!

One has to give credit to IMAA for putting 'Giant Scale' planes on the map and they did that job well. But times have changed and (in my case) there is nothing to gain from joining them other than I can't attend one IMAA meet in this area. The magazine was OK but I haven't read one in a long time (since my membership ran out). Times have changed - heck I remember when a .61 was a "BIG" engine at the field and only the 'rich' guys could afford one - yes times have changed 
Just my opinion about IMAA and where I live now.

I think it was a golden time when one could afford a simple machine (self built), back then....let us still try our best to participate. I do think we've gotten away from a time when we built our planes out of balsa and yes, foam wings at times, but affordable. Perhaps a class needs to be established for us old schoolers....there is classic pattern? I hate to think I am old now at 49, but things are a changin' ;-) Eric p.s. keep the faith

And to think of all the names that will be added down the road, like Don Lowe or Jim Oddino, or a host of a thousand other writers (Jerry Smith, Mike Lee) and countless others.
Thanks for that 1971 cover. I don't think I have that one. Nicely done!!

Thanks for posting that. One of my favorite designs is Chuck Cunningham's Lazy Ace. I still have the one I built many years ago. I always enjoyed his articles.
