I shall not subscribe for next year.I stayed a member at MISASA only for the magazine.It is better to read these microlighters pages,and you get direct response.

I have also not received anything and when I send emails to Scribe (3 so far) I do not even get the courtesy of a reply.

Don't be too harsh.
When running a commercial enterprise it should be conducted as such. I predict African Skies will run out of steam (?lift) within a year. Pity I paid subs for 2 years.
One year later....

Nah, couldn't be bothered.
When Ms Heron failed to deliver on time last year, I gave her a chance, continued my contributions, and when she still failed to publish on time, I decided not to contribute in future. Bear in mind that unlike microflight africa, hers is a business venture, where she charges the subscription fee, and makes the money and therefor the onus was on her to deliver on time. To blame the contributors for delays in publishing will not do. I will not be renewing my subscription.

Hi Gavin, would you like to pay my subs next year :D
It is just a matter of principle and some explanation from time to time

Gavin, is content the reason why we have not received what we paid for?? I just think that whats the point of contributing content if the mag never hits the press. Clearly there is a problem and I think most of the guys like myself enjoy and look forward to the mag, but get disappointed when it doesnt materialise. Maybe just being kept in the loop about whats happening would help. I dont think that many people will subscribe again, which is a pity because it is a nice mag
