Slightly off topic, but I am becoming more and more disenchanted with this forum due to the large number of whinging threads. When are people going to accept that everything gets more expensive all the time ? That's how western economies work (and always have done). The question is are prices relative ? I ask this question. If you compare your quality of life with that of your grandparents at your age are you better, or worse off than they were ? Was your grandfather able to afford to go out and buy 5 litres of fuel for his weekends model flying (ok a gallon then) ? Life is too short to spend what little we have left complaining.

In answer to the question. Probably something more expensive that does the same job. Isn't that always the case these days ?

Not sure who owns the commercial rights to Aeromodeller. However if my understanding is correct there could be some significant changes within the magazine coming. Makes sense really. FSM magazine suffered badly through Covid and with the passing of Alex and Peter lost two substantial contributors. Also they refused to modernise the content and relied very heavily on reproduced old material (including spelling mistakes !). They didn't realise that most of us can remember reading the articles the first time around. Such was the age demographic of its readership. They are not on their own. Many magazines are struggling to find regular contributors as the hobby interests don't generate sufficient income for the publishers to employ full time journalists any more. Plus people aren't travelling as much to the shows to report on them.
