R/C Groups, creator of E Zone (http://www.ezonemag.com) and Lift Zone (http://www.liftzone.com) magazines, is starting a brand new online magazine dedicated to fuel powered R/C aircraft. Did I mention that you get to help us create it?

We want your thoughts and ideas on how we can make this the perfect online magazine for you. We've proven that we can provide timely product reviews and in depth technical articles with our two existing online magazines. Event Reports will also be very important to us, especially the big ones.

As always with RC Groups, it'll be completely free!

Now it's your turn! Please tell us what you expect from a great online magazine? We're all ears!

I'd love to see articles on how-to's, setting up large gas engines, servo specs, construction articles, kit reviews, etc. for Giant Scale Warbirds...preferably WWII.

Anything as long as it has nothing to do with ARFs!!
Articles about scale detailing, things you don't see in the other mags.

I tell ya I don't even buy R/C mags anymore as they are nothing but ARFs and park flyers. Starting to feel like the only one in the world that still builds models.

How about a "readers' wives", sorry, "readers' planes" page, blogs on building popular kits (not just Mustangs) showing issue-by-issue progress with photos and tips and trips, readers' tips, and product reviews (engines, radios, tools, etc.)?

you should add a complete listing of companies and hobbieshops that caries gas power stuff. also have gas power photo gallery of other peoples planes and maybe do a ful review of a winner of that person and plane that wold win that month. and how about a flying field contest do a review on flying fields. make the magizine for the guys and gals that make this sport not just the companies and what thy are putting out next.i even think a perback mag.lik this wouldbe a big hit.

HOW TO... Glass a Fuselage instead of plasticoating it. I want to learn to do that and create my own. Basically learning to fiberglass as I and I am sure many have never done it.

I just realized, this is a "revival" of a 3 year old thread.
Probably a dead issue. :rolleyes:
