No alternative publication was named either. Hmm?
I was reading (or at least glancing through) Model Aviation magazine for years before I finally gave up on it altogether sometime in 2009. To this day, I still hear enough of the club members complaining about the magazine and saying the same things as I wrote. The general sentiment I've heard is that the magazine is written for beginners coming into the hobby. So, with that, I don't waste my time reading MA because I get nothing out of it.
I don't feel that I need to state that I read any alternative publication, whether I do or not. That has no bearing on my statement that MA is useless.
I agree that MA should be switched to an internet publication, but the good ol' boys in the AMA wouldn't go for that because they want to use the magazine as a revenue source for their own personal/financial gain.
