An organization that has members spread out like the AMA needs a form of communication to its members. In the past it was the above printed media, and purchased spots in other magazines. Regardless of what you think, the AMA needs to have a way to communicate with its members, and right now the main source is Model Aviation. We have printed media and digital media I am sure printed media will fade away after the last members that do not own a computer fade away. So your dream of not having a printed magazine will be realized soon.

I am sure there are legitimate reasons for hossfly's propaganda to have not made it into the magazine. That happened last year with a candidate here in District X. It was not a big deal. It was printed in the next issue. BTW that candidate won the election. Why? Because he did not rely on just the magazine.

Model Aviation magazine does not make a profit. It is not like the magazine is getting rich off of ad dollars. If anything the ad dollars are paying for the majority of the magazine. Just like any of our clubs would do in their newsletter.
