Twang Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Gidday David,Was there a delay with the November issue, I only got mine today 13/11, I thought they were sent air mail to subscribers?DannyBrisbane Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi Danny, not as far as I'm aware but I guess the distance canm be a factor? It's been in the UK shops for 3 weeks now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks David,So that would make it about 4 weeks from the subscribers in the UK got theirs. A month is a bit long for airmail to OZ. If the opportunity presents to ask the distributors about it, would you mention it.ThanksDanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I got my novemeber issue a week ago. I live in Norway and it normally takes 14 days from the release date in uk until I get it here. That would be about 3 weeks after the british subscribers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Stokes Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Dave may sound like a bit of a whinge but do subscribers to your lovely mag still need to fill in the form from the mag as proof of purchase just to enter the competition?

David Ashby - Moderator Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 No Stephen, anyone can enter the web competitions here and the mag' ones just need the form returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Davidson Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 But to return the mag's one means cut it out. I do'nt like doing that. How about a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Mullins Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The Art-tech corsair looks good. My first plane was a very unsucsessful art-tech cessna. All the electrics apart from the servos, which are being very noisy in my easystar, didn't work. So I took a hammer to them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david vine Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Wasting your time guys, this ones got my name on it. Thanks very much in antisepation, not sure thats spelt correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Stokes Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 So Dave are there two competitions a web one and a mag one? And as a subscriber do I still have to cut out the form and post it back even though you have all my details and you know I have brought the mag. I don't understand why we need to bother the post man.... As a subscriber we should be entered into the mag competitions automaticaly.I do post comments on the forums and I want to be as green as possible What do othes think....

Malcolm Fisher Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 To some extent, I'm with Stephen on this issue. I try to enter all the Forum competitions - easy via the Forum. As for the magazine ones, I like to keep my copies of the magazine intact so I take the risk of scanning and printing a copy of the entry form and send that in hoping that it will be acceptable as I am a subscriber and my details are on the database.I would be prepared to mutilate my magazine if the entry form was printed on the reverse of some advertising content instead of some article or other. A recent one (September Special I think) was on part of the write up of the Nijhuis plan build notes which IMO was a real deterrent to cutting out the printed form.Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Winks Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I've had this conversation about having to mutilate an interesting article in the mag to enter a competition with David A before apparently they need the original for admin / security reasons which i understand but he did say he'd try to sort the layout issue so we only had to consider mutilating an advert. On a lighter note there is a theme occuring for me here I won the review comp on the site last month and sat in my bedroom is a large box with a gws foamy F4U corsair in it and what should pop up on next months cover .Are the editorial team trying to prompt me into hurrying up and build it I wonder must say its working. actually as the gws model is nearly the same size as the arttech (a little smaller and lighter) it will be interesting to get it done and compare them. Really looking forward to the TN sunderland article too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yes Phil, hurry up with that Corsair, you've had ages now Stephen, hear what you say. I don't maintain or have access to the subscriber database so to be honest getting postal entries back is just easier, it also gives us a good indication as to just how popular the comps are and what prizes are the most attractive - the response can vary. Malcolm - I'm sure I've covered off the 'comp mutilate mag' thing before and hung my head in shame as it's been my fault in the past (I plan the page layout you see) but you'll be pleased to see that the comp' in the Dec issue backs an ad'.

Phil Winks Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 yes David as soon as the spit is completed trouble is work keeps getting in the way (poor exscuse I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Stokes Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hear what your saying Dave, marketing tools and all..Just seams to be very little incentive subscribing because you like the mag just to cut it up. Sound like you've sorted the layout issue shame you don't know who's on the subscription list may be an email to Magicalia is needed. The Web page is fantastic the forums interesting keep it green.. May be a pass code published in each issue that you enter on the web is the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Fisher Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 David, it's good to know that next issue would only compromise an advertisement, but it still means cutting bits out of the magazine which I prefer to keep intact. Please can you say either way whether a scanned and printed or photocopied entry form is acceptable? If not, I'll have to bite the bullet and cut, or not enter unless it is something I really want.I recently sent in two scanned entry forms - one with a grandson's name and address as he has shown interest and the beginner package concerned would have been an ideal Christmas present for him...
