Anyone come across this publication?

is it just a vehicle to sell some micro copter kits or, a genuine journal?

Must say, it would be good to have a UK journal for the industry.

Yes, that's the one. I think that they are asking six or seven pounds for each copy. Perhaps, just me being overly cautious or cynical. Is it just a way to sell some micro kits? Anyone actually subscribed?

80 issues @ £5.99 .... £480 quid give or take!!

I wonder who's doing the technical instruction? Perhaps one of the guru's on here?

It is both a magazine and a way to sell copter parts. I've never seen a business model like this before, but the idea is that you get a certain amount of parts and instruction with each issue. When it's all done, you end up with a Hexa that carries a GoPro like action camera (not sure of the brand, but it's not GoPro). I don't think you get everything you need though. There has to be additional parts needed, I would have to imagine.

Have you seen it out in the shops yet? I've actually got a few photos that will be in upcoming issues. So far, they are only committed to doing the first 5 issues, and the fate of the project depends on how those first 5 are received.

Not seen it in the shops yet. Major, national retailer WH Smith is not showing it as available. I think Blades is right, this is an expensive kit and what happens if they stop after just a few issues?

i know its been a while since the last post but...
i have subscribed to this. i am a total newcommer to multi rotor things and thought this publication would give me a toe in the water. the first issue was due 26/2/14, i subscribed a day later. as of today nothing has been heard from the company. i have managed to chase a subscriber number. (number 8!) they havent taken any payments yet either. a bit disappointed so far. the publisher (eaglemoss) are behind a few big " buy it in bits" subscriptions, in fact i already use them for the 137 dr who dvds (so far) collection.
maybe they are waiting to see what the interest is. they even advertised it on sky tv (where i saw it).
wonder if any one on here has managed to gain any more info?

may have to invest in a complete machine.....

Wowzers, I's b pulling my hair out if I got one arm for my hex each week. Appears as though it will take at least 8 months before a camera can be attached!
