RC airplane magazines and books
Reading rc airplane magazines, as with any hobby, is one of the best ways of keeping up to date with what's happening in the world of radio control airplane modeling and flying.
Popular magazine choices such as Model Airplane News and Backyard Flyer are invaluable sources of information, both for the newcomer and the seasoned enthusiast.
An annual subscription offered by most online magazine stores will often save you anything up to 50% off the price of buying each magazine separately over the course of a year.
The rc airplane magazines below are just some of the more popular ones available:
Model Airplane News
is one of the longer running publications and one of the most popular, covering all aspects of the hobby.
This top magazine is always loaded with high quality articles from flight training to engine tuning, reviews on various products whether it's a new kit or a new rc system, and excellent photography. Model Airplane News would be a very sensible first choice for anyone already involved with or about to take up the hobby of rc airplanes.
Backyard Flyer conveys the fun and excitement of flying park and backyard RC airplanes by showcasing the diversity of new products and offering useful how-to information. Crafted to ensure success, the magazine features totally new, close-to-home flying environments and energized writing that inspires beginners and seasoned modelers (editorial description).
Fly RC magazine presents the latest radio control products, technology and techniques each month. With articles for newcomers and experienced modelers alike, Fly RC covers indoor micro airplanes, park and schoolyard electric flyers, sport glow aircraft, giant scale gas and exotic "project" airplanes and the latest on new lithium batteries and brushless power systems.
