Hello All
It has become decision time and I am still waiting for the April issue of MicroFlight. I usually get my issue at the end of the month after everyone seems to have theirs. I still have a week to wait and a reup billing comes in the mail. The decision is;
1. quietly fold and send a check that the plublishers will process at the speed of light and accept the late showing publication.
2. Go limber like the publisher and let the subscription run out.
3. Resubscribe in a new name that starts with "A" rather than "W", hopeing to place highter on the publishers distribution list.
Your words of wisdom are welcome to smooth over my disgust. When does eveyone get their copy?
Jim

Renewed a lapsed subscription (mine ran out in 2001 sometime) last month, and received my April issue in the mail yesterday (Saturday)
My last name starts with an H. So ????
Does other mail seem slower than other folks in your area? Maybe it's a local carrier thing. I'm guessing here.... Who knows....?

Hello Jim,
I am a subscriber (big surprise) and still have not gotten my April paper issue. Having said that it will probably be in the mail tomorrow:) Like Phil, my mail seems to run behind folks in various parts of the country. It seems like I am the last to get a copy of the AMA magazine when they come out. I have even gotten letters dealing with something in my column in that mag before I have seen mine!
As far as the subscription thing, there really are two forms of RCMF. The internet version seems to be running very promptly in recent times, and of course it has all the pretty colors. It was my understanding that AirAge saw a problem with their distribution contractor and are working to fix it.
I would reup for the internet version itself, but I have always gotten the paper issue, even when it seems to be running late. Of course I have already read the material on the net, so the paper copy is more like reference material. And, BTW, my AirAge subscriptions are handled by exactly the same group as yours, with the same scedule nuisances.
Good luck with the decision, Dave

Well, I have decided to do it again with the hopes that Air Age can get it together one of these years. They sure seem to need some help at running the MicroFlight part of their business. Yes, I read the online when it comes out. I wish the webmaster would do the cookie thing with their website like with this board. I hate entering a 15 character pass word. I have enjoyed some of their Wylam drawing booklets for the last 40 odd years.
Dave, I hope that Air Age appreciates your efforts, I know that I do.
