On your way home from work the next day, drop it off at your local library or elementary school. Maybe some young boy or girl will get a chance to look at it and learn to love the hobby for what it is.

That for you would bring something positive out of all you negitive feelings

Status: offline 		I'm a 'reader' and read every modeling mag I can get ahold of - so with that as an introduction......

I like to read the mag! Being from the 'old school' (FF, UC) I enjoy reading what is being done in that neck of the woods today - even though I'm only R/C now.

But you can LEARN something from the columns....i.e. want to build light - check out the scale FF section; want to paint a beautiful color scheme - check out the pylon and UC stunt columns, etc.

I guess I'm not too old to learn something new

Status: offline 		I personally think the magazine is ok. I do like RC Report, MAN and RCM better but anything with RC content or even ads to see the latest goodies is interesting.

If the magazine was an opt out or opt in like it used to be many years ago where you could save a little money I would still get it myself but I'm sure there would be some who would prefer not to get it and save whatever dollars they could.

Personally, I'd opt out - but I would not be looking for any rebate for doing so. I'd be happy if the money saved was used to help fill in some of the holes that exist in the insurance policy.

Better yet, drop off Model Aviation mags in any waiting room. Most of the time, there is nothing worth reading in your doctor, dentist, auto dealership, etc. waiting rooms. AMA even made that suggestion in one of the mags...oops, many who don't like the mag didn't get a chance to read about it.

Take care,

It seems that most doctors offices have medical and womens mags except for N&WR.

I like the idea about donating the mag to a school or library. I will do this instead of tossing them!
