We know this, but racing is a marketing tool to those who will never race. The balance of a good magazine is making content that satisfies both sides, helps both sides, and serves a purpose.
Large segment as in the bulk of the hobby, racers are the minority.
The bulk of r/c gear sold is never, ever raced.
They know (or knew) their target market, but with the instant gratification factor of the internet it's hard for ant print magazine to survive (unless it can be generic waiting room material.)

Looking forward to this new online magazine. Much better way to do things over print editions now a days.

Don't discount print, it's a great medium and the last that people sit and read. The internet is distracting, so when people buy a magazine it's higher quality reader. And obviously people on a forum are skewed demographics since we are online, but people still love print, and while you can't see the 15 "views' from print like you can online it does translate into sales.

Good points. I do still enjoy magazines, just like how much more interactive online editions can be with videos and stuff.

Could you clarify this a bit? When I open the latest copies of the magazine, you're listed as the executive editor on the editorial page.

So I used to be a full time employee a year and a half ago, and then I was a freelance "executive editor." Titles are made up in the world, so what it said was I worked there. That doesn't mean anything. None of us owned or were a part of the company other than paid employees.
This project happened because of the other magazine ending. It wasn't us who had anything to do with the business side.

Without going into personal details. Over a year ago I was laid off, and paid a retainer.

Thanks guys, I'll be starting another thread about Velocity RC Magazine so this doesn't get confusing to people.
I was waiting until our website was up and running right. We are just figuring out the organizational layout right now. We should be up and running with that this week.
VRC will be a professional publication that you download for $1.99, and a website you visit for information.
