I find MHW the most informative but had a Rotorworld subscription bought for me for my last birthday.

Don't bother. Can't beat forums in my opinion.

i get them occasionally but find there read and done with a little too quick for the price tag.Not really anything between the two you mentioned either.

I have a few of the base apps on android but only buy/download the mag if there is an article that I want to read. App wise you really should check out RC Pilot Magazine, it is mostly plank orientated but it is just so well put together.

i get MHW but there is a lot of detail scale stuff in there that doesn't interest me. they also insist on writing 2+ page articles (sometimes more than 1 per issue) on flyins/competitions that happened some time last year on the other side of the world....this is nonsense IMO so if your reading this MHW editor...stop it

There are several to choose from. As for whether they're any good or not, well that's up to you and your personal preferences.

Try a few and let us know what you think.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm in that?

the heli content in the bmfa news is quite small to zero at times
but it is down to the members not submitting articles for them to print
as they get more articles from our fixed wing cousins the bmfa news is full of fixed wing articles
