In the past year we have added much
additional content online at www.
ModelAviation.com. This allows us
to expand on articles and event coverage
beyond what can be printed in the
magazine.
Although it’s
obvious that a large
number or readers
appreciate the digital
content, we are taking
it a step further
and are bringing
you a version of the
magazine for Android
tablets and the Apple
iPad.
Our cover this
month indicates
how excited we
are to offer you a
tablet version of the
magazine! Wherever
you take your tablet,
Model Aviation will
be with you!
The tablet
version is viewable
horizontally and
vertically and offers
functional links to
websites and email addresses. As in the
magazine, the font is sized to be easily
readable and the tablet version will
feature some full-page graphics.
The Publications team has been
working hard to bring you a quality
product you’ll be sure to enjoy on your
tablet with plenty of interactive features,
not simply a magazine you fl ip through
in a digital format.
After you’ve had a chance to
experience an issue in this format, please
don’t hesitate to provide me with your
feedback.
The Library (Formerly Known as
“the Archives”)
Have you ever wanted every issue
of Model Aviation, from 1975 to the
The digital age!
present, at your fi ngertips? Better yet,
what if it was searchable so you didn’t
have to fl ip through a stack to fi nd that
one article that eludes you?
The Library, an AMA Members Only
benefi t, will provide
you with all of that
and more. Completely
searchable, it will be
updated as soon as
each issue of MA is
released. This is the
place to read articles
or entire issues, new
or old, online. A link
to the Library is on
www.ModelAvia
tion.com.
The Library is
currently in Beta
release as we continue
to fi ne-tune 37 years’
worth of data. Please
provide us your
feedback so we can
make it even better
and easier to use.
Columnists
I want to take a
moment to thank
all of our columnists. Without their
expertise, knowledge, and support, my
job as Editor-in-Chief would be much
more diffi cult. One of the best things
about Model Aviation is our ability to
provide coverage for all disciplines of
modeling. Providing such a broad scope
of knowledge would be impossible
without their contributions.
We have added Scott Stoops to pen
our new “Flight Training” column and
Gordon Buckland will be replacing Lee
Estingoy as our “RC Soaring” columnist.
Ted Kraver will replace Bill Boss, the
“CL Scale” author, who is featured in
this month’s “I Am the AMA.”
That’s all for this month. I hop
