Thanks to everyone for the input. One of the main suggestions I have gotten has been to increase the size of the magazine. We have been debating between increasing the frequency to 6 issues per year, or increase the size to a larger format. I think I prefer to increase the physical size, for a number of reasons. If we increase it to 7 by 10 (the same size as the old Pano magazine), it would give us more room for more content, as well as make the print and pictures larger.

My question is this - to increase the size of the magazine, we would need to increase the yearly subscription to $30.00 (for 4 issues). How does everyone feel about this?

It is most important that we keep readers. The last thing I want to do is run any readers off because the price went up.


For me, the cost is less important than the content. More content makes it worth the higher price. Same content not so much.....

We are always working to add more content and more pages. A larger format would give us more room for more misc. content. Not really more features, per se. But more odds and ends. Tid bits. And slightly larger text (very slight - like 1 or 2 points larger). But the biggest benefit would be larger pictures. Plus the magazine would present better overall.

I love the magazine and it has kept me motivated as I saved funds to repair my broken engine. I would love the larger format, as there would be room for more content and bigger pics.

It is on the way.

A number of people suggested we increase the size of the magazine. We did a lot of work to see if we could make it work. We are increasing the overall size (similar size to the old Pano), starting with the April issue. It will give us space for more content (50% more space), bigger photos, and slightly larger text. I think it will be great, and can't wait to have more room to work with. beerchug.gif

Cool. You got one of the last copies of issue two. I have about 10 copies left of that issue. We didn't order many extra copies early on. We have been pleasantly surprised how many people are ordering back issues. I hope you enjoy them.

We did an email version initially last year (in addition to the print version). But we ran into two problems - the size of the pdf file, and the admin associated with keeping up with that many email addresses (bounced emails, changes to email addresses, etc.). So we are focusing on the print version only. It is growing nicely. In that regard, we have increased the format (now it is the same size as the old Pano), and we are working with getting more writers, etc. The summer issue will be out in about a month, and includes some great 914s.

New issue out in summer? Sounds good. Hope you could ship near-term to abroad.

BTW: My spring issue was delivered just today. All fine. Great job!

Best regards from Germany

Hmm. All have shipped a while back. It could be a number of variables. Subscription ended and wasn't renewed? Or we could have just messed up. Accounting for subscriptions is the necessary evil of the magazine industry. :-) We are still learning how to handle it. Either way, PM me your first and last name and I will check it, and send you a copy today.

The Summer issue will be out in mid-August. I think you will like the stories.
