Float Flying Theme The improvement in the MA
magazine is remarkable. It’s gone
from being an association monthly to a
real model magazine. Well done.
The fl oat fl ying theme of this month’s
MA was most gratifying. It is an area of
our hobby that has long been neglected
by the AMA. It is the only form of fl ying
that is not represented at Muncie [the
Nats in Muncie IN]. A small lake for
fl oat fl ying would be a great addition.
It could be grouped with a picnic, and
maybe a child play area, and become be
very attractive for families.
Before it’s too late, I just wanted to
complement you on the fl oat fl y
issue and to let you know I hope you
keep this theme thing going.
I won’t care too much for a 3-D issue,
but you have to give to receive. Besides I
might learn something about that part of
the hobby that way.
I like the way it was all tied together
cover to cover with a little off-topic stuff
mixed in.
Hope it was intentional.
Thanks.
More on MA’s Redesign
I received my May issue of MA and
enjoying it along with coffee. The
magazine is like a breath of fresh air. The
larger font has really made a difference.
Keep up the great work.
Most publications seem to think that
color-on-color printing is appealing but
it makes the efforts of the writers hard
to convey their messages (and hard for
us older generation to read).
Thanks again.
Due to medical issues I have been
unable to read the last few issues
until now. Thank you, thank you!
As a 67-year member of AMA, my
80-year-old eyes are tired, so the new
format is a blessing for me and I am
sure, for lots of my contemporaries.
The larger type and space between
lines makes the magazine more
enjoyable than ever. You and the
whole gang in Muncie are to be
congratulated.
Although usually in the
background, I have visited the [AMA]
headquarters site a number of times
in our motor home for all sorts of
events, but unfortunately that has
now come to an end. But what
wonderful memories I will cherish in
the future. I doubt if fl ying my models
will continue, but I do plan to be at
the building board and reading Model
Aviation and Flying Models long into
the future.
