Before you begin the May Issue ...
Kathryn Fields
let me tell you how pleased we are that the personal and experimental helicopter community is growing, world wide. New ships, new products, new helo specific events and from our side of the desk, new subscribers.
I have only enough room to say hi this issue because of all the related helicopter meets and events planned for this year. Of course we want to hear of all the shows and activities, no matter where. Send us your listings as soon as you know of them, we’ll get them into the coming issue and will carry them on the web site.
We also still want to hear from all the international subscribers about your interest in an electronic version of EH which would cost you less. Our mailing costs are going up again on May 12 of this year, so our question to you is not academic. We know that many of you would rather pay extra and have a printed copy for your own. This will continue to be the case; we are not proposing to stop printing and go all electronic. That is neither wanted nor possible. But for those of you who have gotten used to reading on line, this may be ready made.
Hope you enjoy this issue and do find a fly-in, meet or show to enjoy this year if at all possible. Kathy
Important: We’re seriously considering creating an electronic version of EH, especially for our International subscribers. There are several reasons but the most urgent is the increased postage cost of this past year and that of this year, which have effectively doubled the mailing costs.
Yes, ouch. You know how we are about making money but we cannot absorb too much without passing along the costs.
So, we would greatly appreciate all comments, especially from our International subscribers, concerning receiving an electronic version of the mag in lieu of increased subscription costs.
There are pros and cons, for both us and all subscribers, with each method. We need to hear from you to know what your interests and ideas involve. There are details not well written here which we will gladly discuss with any who ask.
Write, phone (760) 377-4478 or Skype -- Kathryn Fields, email eh@iwvisp.com.
Renewal Reminder: The Year and Month of your renewal is written right above your name and address label on the lower half of the back page. Check any of the last three issues or if you have any questions, contact us at (760) 377-4478 or eh@iwvisp.com
