Really nice photos. Not sure why you can't upload them. They're small enough. You can upload up to 3MB per photo, so don't be afraid to use higher resolution to be able to upload a higher resolution photo. The two from 1969 were really good.

Fast, may I know what is the name of the plane on this cover? I though it was Circus, but it is not... I searched the RCM plans service, and the Circus is a high wing plane...

Looks interesting, considering the year (1967). Seriously, I am talking about the plane...

Thanks and regards

Martinoto,
Yeah, I was looking at the plane, too. It was a biplane, right?

Fast Richard, thanks...

Looks nice, probably a good contender in SPA (lucky you, I wish we have something similar in Argentina..)

Hello Ray,

Thanks for the kudos. I enjoy doing that too. Maybe I've got to rummage through some more of my back issues and post some more pics.

If I recall, you have printed your share of articles in RCM, haven't you?

I ordered plans on Aug 8th from the RCM web site. I got an email confirmation, but no plans after 10 days. They haven't take the money either. I tried to call the 800 number and the tool number and got rings, but no answer at 1pm in the afternoon. I'd say they are history. Maybe some one will buy it?

Hmmmm, I just checked their website... www.rcmmagazine.com and there is less on it... I also can't find the little disclaimer that says that they are trying to negotiate a sale of the magazine. That could be good or bad.

I'd better check my magazine covers again. Remind me in a day or so and I'll find something to scan and upload.

I felt that way too. Always felt that it was one to be read by the 'better informed' RCer. But times change, and the economics of the industry are what change what RCM (and other magazines) turned into. If you were to read a vintage magazine from the 50's, 60, 70's or 80's, it would be much different from what you see today.

Well, I hope that this eases your pain just a little bit...

Want to talk about a lucky wing? And she's wearing heels too!

Under that shirt, I wonder if she might be wearing............

Yes indeed whaat a magazine RCM with its models on most each month cover AND informative cutting edge techniques,applications and news ...

I basically quit buying hobby magazines when 'Radio Control Modeler Magazine ceased publishing.'

It seems unlikly RCM could continue all operations unless the VERY talented columists of late,such as Ken Willard 'Sunday Flyer',Cunningham on R/C ,Art Johnson's 'Scale Views.' could be replaced with current "authorities in there field of R/C expertise.
To the very end of RCMs publishing Contributing Editor Don Lowe our former AMA president etc etc presented a typical RCM collumn: informative and cutting edge,in Don's case Aerobatics was the topic which exemplified the magazines progressive nature-

The biggest mistake I might ever of made was throwing out some of my RCM magazines[8D]


*****now wares the srll ceck??????

Hi Ram,

I've got a fair collection of old RCM's and you can get more on eBay. When I re-read an old column, it is nothing like today's magazines....

I was just fishing for comments on our latest Really Cute Model

Glad to hear it. I wish someone would let us know what is going on with the Magazine, or what is left of it at least.... if there is any potential for a re-birth, etc.
