Hello All,
Some time ago I was in discussion with the editors of Boat Modeler Magazine to focus more in competitive boat racing. In our discussion they had mentioned that the boat racing community may be to small to justify such a focus, however, they proposed another solution. I beleive one of their smaller airplane magazines is a subscription only magazine. I beleive this means that it is totally supported by subscribers to the magazine and not distribution. They asked me if there would be enough interest in such a magazine... meaning is there enough boat racers willing to pay a subscription to such a magazine to support it. At the time I had other interest and did not really pursue their inquiry, however, it had just crossed my mind again recently so I thought I would put the question out to the masses before attempting to spark up another conversation with the magazine in this regard. What do you all think?
I beleive they would handle all of the articles just as they do with Boat Modeler. And... I believe that if the magazine was totally subscriber supported it would allow for smaller r/c boat businesses to advertise with a decent size ad for less money. Of course, these are just my ideas.
So...
The questions are...
Would you subscribe to a racer only magazine and how much would you be willing to pay for a montly subscription?
