But MAN is failing, bigtime. As is RCM. And FLYrc is not doing so great, either. So the idea of retooling MA to be some sort of profit machine is pretty ludicrous.

RCM may well be deep in the hole, I have not seen anything to indicate otherwise, or maybe the owners are just tired of the current trends. You would have to display some hard evidence to make this juror believe that MAN and FLYRC are doing less than great. The evidence displayed to me definitely indicates so. Even Flying Models displays a new perky attitude since they shipped the Associate Editor off to MA. BTW FM charges about 40% MORE for an ad than MA and FM has a circulation of only some 40,000.

For you that cannot understand the differences between Model Aviation and the remainder of the free market commercial modeling media, my proposals will not mean much to you. MA is like a government subsidized business that guarantees the owner a large profit regardless whether he sells anything or not, and gives him a place of business right beside YOUR business of the same type that YOU have to WORK to keep alive.[]

Of course the AMA people running the MA show and keeping the AMA EC OKing their fat cat jobs, probably really enjoy spending YOUR money. As long as you prefer such, I suppose there will be little change.
