Model Aviation Redesign The AMA has hit a home run on
the new format of the magazine. It
is now modern and on a par with the
other industry publications. Nice job.
I know you have some “how-to”
articles in the issues, but I for one
would like to see more with hints on
how to make thing easier.
Thanks.

Just received my MA 2012 issue
and must offer my congratulations
on the updated format. Great
photography, and nice layout in
the entire magazine. Offer my
congratulations to the entire
staff responsible for all of the
improvements.

I really like the new layout. It has a lot
more “pop.” Hard to explain, but it
feels more 21st century. I especially like
the color bars on the columns. Good job!

Congratulations, Jay, on the new look
of Model Aviation! I like that the
typeface is larger, the lines are wider
apart, and there seems to be recognition
that a small white or light typeface on a
dark background ain’t easy to read. The
rule, I think, is that contrast equals clarity.
Now, a suggestion: Use a larger
typeface for the titles of regular columns,
please. Thank you!
Now, for your next great achievement,
may I suggest a compilation of Tom
Chipley’s drawings? I have my check for
20 dollars for the first copy right here in
my hand.
Life is just one exciting event after
another. Enjoy it!

Congrats—the new look and content
of Model Aviation is a home run.
I am a 76-year-old modeler (over 65
years modeling) and I am here to tell you
great job. I have been in and out of AMA
several times while in the USN [U.S.
Navy] and then on assignment in France
and Italy in the ’60s, installing weapons
systems for the French and Italian navies
while attached to MAAG [Military
Assistance Advisory Group]. Always
followed what was going on and for
the last 25 years I’ve been a very active
RCer. Have to say I was a little less than
enthusiastic with AMA for a time but
now, better than ever.
Keep up the great work.

March Correction In the Super Stearman review in the
March 2012 issue of MA, the text
stated that the kit weighed 21 ounces
ready to fly. The correct ready-to-fly
weight is 2 pounds, 5 ounces as listed in
the specifications box. MA regrets the
error.
