Erfolg Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I am hoping to visit the USA later in the year. In the past I have been able to purchase RCM and MAN (Model Aircraft News) whilst there. I am aware that RCM closed many years ago now. On my last visit I could not find MAN. Are there any worthwhile titles sold in the USA now?

Colin Bernard Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi Erfolg MAN still appears to be going strong. I read it via Readly, along with Electric Flight - another US title. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ovenden Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think there is also a magazine called Fly RC. Seen a few copies in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extra slim Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I wouldnt bother with fly RC, it used to be superb, but went down hill rapidly about 2 yrs ago.. cancelled my subscription as it was barely a leaflet in the end.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Fledermaus Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If you're on Facebook, try asking the question on the Balsa Model Aircraft Association. It's US based. It's a closed group, but any Balsa Basher is welcome. Membership is world wide. Edited By Dai Fledermaus on 29/01/2018 11:27:23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Erfolg asked " Are there any worthwhile titles sold in the USA now? " and surely the answer to that is "YES" because RCME -our UK mag - is (presumably) sold in the USA still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Cheal Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi Colin I had never heard of Readly, but it looks a great way to get loads of magazines (including modelling ones) online. Any drawbacks, or is it £7.99 per month for unlimited access to all those mags? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Wot's a "magazine"? Made of paper you say? It'll never catch on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Bernard Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Tim, With access to all their mags the only catch is that it has taken the fun out of my weekly visits to W H Smith!! You can have multiple accounts, so my wife and two kids all have their own access with their own favourites list. Of course not all magazines are on, but they are adding all the time, and whatever mags you normally read that are not included are more than made up for by the fact you have access to magazines you would never normally see, e.g. the US and German model mags. You also have access to back numbers as well, so for me its a no-brainer, and since I used to buy 4 or 5 mags a month I am well in pocket. Not sure how they do it for the price!

Erfolg Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 It really does seem like a good deal. Although I do like the tactile feel of a mag or a book. There is nothing like reading a mag in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
