Silent Flight lasted much longer than expected. QFI did not do as well. They both depended on their beginnings and prime running on the character Dave.
When he got wiped out in a motocycle accident it was only a matter of time. Rick PS. Get the message. Soaring where you are depends on YOU. How many contests did you CD this year??. How many are you coaching??. How much time and talent did you give away this year??

Did you try calling Traplet at the U.S. office or in England? I've gotten QFI since day one and it is a shame to see it merge away. Nexeus rolled Silent Flight up a little over a year ago by merging it into there main RC title RCM&E, now Traplet has merged QFI & E-Flight. The question is will even this title last or will it be rolled into Traplet's main RC title RC Model World down the road? Obviously after a run of 7 years or so QFI just wasn't profitable, or not enough to be worth publishing. That's the problem with a niche magazine, if the niche is too small it may not be able to support the costs of putting out a color magazine. You can only demand so much from advertisers for the cost of placing an ad, the rest of the burden is on the readership who will only pay so much for a magazine. Just because you get a nice looking magazine in the mail each month has no bearing on weather the publisher is actually making enough money to make it worth publishing. Heck, Airage gets practically twice as much for an ad in Radio Control Car action as it does for Model Airplane News. MAN is one of the BIG R/C airplane magazines - and yet from the publishers point of view you can bet RC Car Action makes Airage way more money than MAN. Go figure!
