Guest graunch1 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Why is it if you look at the results it will not let you vote?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Well, since ASL is not even in the running, :hide: , I guess I'll go with my 2nd choice. IMHO, the magazine that best addresses the needs of real pilots is COPA Flight. Yes I know you may say it's G.A., but all in all, I like the content. All other magazines seem yo have the same look and feel. Vertical is OK and my buddy CTD likes it too, but it quite specialized, so not enough for ALL pilots. WINGs is OK but geared to businesses and government, not really pilots. The magazine "Aviation Quebec", which also carries a section called "La Brousse". is also very high on my must read list, #2 to COPA Flight.

downwash Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Mike, I hope you won't be offended by my wondering if your poll isn't a little self-serving, not that there's any crime in that, just that it might look a little unseemly in this (supposedly) fair and (dare I suggest) impartial forum.

downwash Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 P.S. After my post, I abstained by peeking. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Reyno Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Downwash, Actually my interest is in the fixed wing magazines in Canada. I wouldn't expect Vertical to fair as highly as it is on this site considering it is also big amongst the fixed wing community which has no idea what Vertical is. So, I guess I was wrong in adding Vertical and Helicopters to the poll. You'll have a better understanding why in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 ...so, what's the new magazine going to be called??? Horizontal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Reyno Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Thanks Mag Seal. Actually, not sure if you have noticed, but every issue of Vertical rotates between a feature on maintenance by Gavin Miller (MPLAN Solutions) or a feature on avionics (Walter Shawlee - founder of NAT). The latest issue of Vertical features a story on Trouble Shooting: Being a Mechanical Detective. Make sure you subscribe soon before the hots run out! I am interested in what people think of the fixed wing magazines. Are they lacking in content? Are the covering the industry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm kind of like Mag. When I'm done my 'chores' at home, I've barely time enough to look at the pictures, let alone read 'seized rotor' mags or articles. Like your name idea, 407. But like Mag, it brings me pictures of thick, soft mattresses rather than aerodynes of any persuasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
