Review Aug 1973 RC Modeler Magazine
Join me in this video as I go through the August 1973 issue of RC Modeler magazine.
RCM (Radio Control Modeler) magazine was the industry standard magazine for radio control enthusiasts from its introduction in 1963 until the final issues out around 2005. RC Modeler magazine had kit reviews and model aircraft construction projects in each issue, with full size plans available to order.
The magazine was authoritative and provided excellent advice for the majority of modelers who still built their own RC model airplanes.
One item of interest for the 1973 RCM: No internet addresses, no email, no toll free numbers to order items and no Japanese model engines. Quite a different world from today!
