      I always read it but it is full of retired old men playing with rubber powered models (sorry if this offends anyone)

      The BMFA is desperately short of young blood and this mag only worsens the situation!

        I've just joined, got my first mag, and was not impressed by the amount of heli stuff in it (ie, virtually none!)

              Do you get a free mag subscription when you sign up to the BMFA Insurance?

                  I always read the heli pages (all two of them!) but seldom read the rest.

                        I voted always as I doo thumb through it when on the loo LOL There are not a whole bunch of articles I read though, as with most things these days, the info is usualy a little out of date or subjective.

                        Not sure what would make it a better read as it must be a hard job to create a mag for such a diverse audience.

                            The BMFA mag is free so i cant see the point in bitching ... As for the NATs and also all the stuff thats in there about con lines ... This is where alot of the money comes from to run the likes of it .... I do flick thru the mag to see if n e thing catches my interest .....
