Hi;
The content does look good. What I do not understand is why it has to be
delivered on paper. It is so inconvenient. It would be much better if it
was distributed as a PDF once every month.
Yes I get "Kitplanes" as an online subscription. Cheap (USD27.00
p.a.) and you get it right away as it is published.
You can also publish the back issues cheaply on your website so that
people who may be interested in being participants in your activity
can read them. That's if you're interested in increasing
participation numbers of course. Closed websites that require
passwords aren't impressive. Tend to remind people of primary
schoolyard "secret" societies.
Only reason to have a printed version on paper is for newsstands so
unless you plan on doing that forget it.
I'm not sure how much of a future a periodically published journal
has anyway. On the net you can get articles all the time as they are
published. The paper periodical is an artifact of the
printing/distribution cycle. Even daily's like "The Australian" are
mainly useful as fire lighters and pet litter tray liners.
Unfortunately glossy colour magazines don't seem to burn well or be absorbent.
In any case a journal that is an "official" publication of any
organisation is bound to have an editorial policy and content
reliability similar to that of the old Soviet era "Pravda".
