"From the amount of comercial adverts it must be possible to support a monthly mag financialy." <br />----------------------- <br /> <br />I don't think so. It's one thing for an advertiser to place ads in six or seven issues a year, and quite another to place similar ads in 12 issues a year. That's a big chunk of money, and you're already seeing many advertisers reducing the size or frequency of their ads due to the rather sluggish hobby market in general, which is apt to become even more sluggish as "free" money has to be diverted to gassing up the car or to pay for the impact of oil prices on virtually everything else (even the post office is seeking another rate hike in the near future). <br /> <br />Beyond that, who is going to provide all the content needed to fill 12 issues? Everyone likes reading their favorite magazines, but few--very few--are willing to devote the time and effort to writing and photographing articles for these publications. With small in-house staffs, these specialized ublication have to rely heavily on "freelance" contributors to provide the steady flow of material they need. <br />
