Default RE: Question: "Model Aviation" /Dues

So, maybe the number is $35/year for regular AMA with a quarterly mag or maybe even only $25/yr with a single issue per year (just guestimate numbers for discussion)

So, now I am curious where people think this will take us.
P51-

Abel had found us the answer already, elsewhere.
AMA PPP FAQ:
6) Q: Can a Park Pilot member choose to receive Model Aviation instead of Park Pilot magazine?
A: Yes. The $36 subscriber’s fee less $9.95 would be added to the $29.95 Park Pilot membership fee. The total would be $56.
Interesting.
Coulda sworn we just had a thread 2 or 3 months ago on how much the FREE magazine really costs us... $6/8/9/14/18/28 depending on who is answering... but now we see the MA additional expense to AMA members is $36.

But at least we now (@RCU) have an answer(first of many) to the Yet-TBD PPP magazine net (member paid) cost: $9.95
See, they clearly, ala carte-ly, strip off the $10 magazine & cost, and tack on the $36 magazine & cost,
.... +$26 net member cost to add the $8 member cost magazine (remember folks hollering about how Under $9 MA is?)

So, anyone want to crunch the numbers for a $29.95 PPP opting to strip off the $9.95 magazine & tack on a NoMagazine,
or a $58 flyer stripping off the $36 magazine & cost, and tacking on the $10 magazine & cost


<edit: I intended to respond to Abel with this, but it kinda ended up talking about what P51 said>
