RE: Airplane mags: do you buy them?
I get MA because I have to. But they never paid the going rate for a construction article. Some poor guy spends 6 or 7 months taking pictures and making drawings and revising the entire thing as he goes. Then they stiff him, offer him 300 bucks. RCM and MAN were offering closer to 600 for the same article.
But now, no one seems to have a decent construction article.
But those little ads sometimes show something interesting and a web address. Extracting useful information from the Mags these days is more like a treasure hunt. And sometimes those web addresses lead to some interesting stuff.
And of course, they never met a plane they didn't like.
I still subscribe to MAN. I don't want them to disapear, like RCM and most of the kit manufactures. Its dark times, but hopefully it will pass. And maybe, just maybe things will get back to the way they were.
