We know that the magazine is costing more than it generates. That is part of the cost difference. Figure $4 as an average cost of a magazine these days. That's $48 annually. I would also consider the risk assessment between a minor and a 40-60 year old adult. A minor is most likely not going to be flying a 40% Extra or 50lb F-16. More like an Apprentice, Kadet etc. The property loss/injury potential on average should be less with a minor.
