Have it your way

Each month, Model Aviation covers a broad range of topics through our feature articles and columns. These articles touch on all aspects and disciplines within our hobby, and there is certainly much to discuss. It can occasionally be difficult to provide every one of our nearly 200,000 readers content on the things they are most interested in within the pages of every issue.

Each year, we dedicate two or three issues of Model Aviation to different themes. Our October issue usually caters to those who like to build model aircraft or have an interest in learning how to do so. In December, helicopters and multirotors are generally given the spotlight. In 2017, beyond the two theme issues I mentioned, the July issue will also have a theme, and it will be one that you, the reader, get to decide. After you have determined what your ideal theme issue would be, visit our website at www.ModelAviation.com and cast your vote. You will be provided with a list of possible topics from which to choose, as well as the option to write in your own. You have until January 15, 2017, to help determine the winning theme.

World War I Aviation

Although early aviation isn’t necessarily the theme of this month’s issue, we bring you a pair of event articles covering the topic. The “Old Rhinebeck Jamboree’s 50th Anniversary” and the “Dawn Patrol Rendezvous” pair model aircraft with their full-scale counterparts and provide attendees a chance to see century-old aviation relics up close on the ground and flying through the air.

Be sure to check out our coverage of these exciting events.
