Congratulations on the launch of the magazine. The pilot issue (great pun) totally rocks. It is a well written, well presented, beautifully illustrated work of art and intellect.

Issue 1 is excellent! Mine arrived safely yesterday (the protective cover really makes a difference and it will help preserve the issue over the coming years) and I’ve been savoring it…Beautiful work! Very nicely done! I plan to read it… Read more “Issue 1 is excellent!”

I am just knocked out by the magazine and the kits, If only every hobby had a forum and products like the ones you provide. I hope you achieve the kind of success I believe you deserve. On a more… Read more “Incredibly classy hobby book”

My favorite now that FM is gone. The level of detail in Balsa Builder is second to none, and I hope it stays in publication for many years to come. .

I want to second the comments Douglas made and add how delighted I am to see rubber powered free flight and R/C building in the same publication. I’ve built and flown electric R/C, rubber powered free flight, boost-gliders, and glow… Read more “I second that!”

Doug Kittle

I just took a spin through the magazine, and this is your best yet. You covered so much ground with this one–even discounting my little bit at the end. Which–by the way, you packaged beautifully. Thanks for the cool photos… Read more “Your best yet!”

Totally OUTSTANDING job on the latest issue of the Balsa Builder! IMHO, by far the best one yet. The plan sheet alone is worth the price. I especially like the way you’ve included peripheral content on areas related to the… Read more “Totally OUTSTANDING”
