Re: Cessna 177 review. What's the point of a kit review that doesn't tell you how it flies?!?!?!? Are the editors of these comics so cynical that they think that a 2 part review will MAKE have to buy next month's issue?? I won't now on principal! Also engine reviews, notice how they are ALL good engines, every one is a great bargain. Are the magazines are too scared of their advertisers to say that "X engine" is poor value, or not as good as "Y engine" - why never an objective comment! Grumpy of Monday morning!

I have to agree with you Grumpy. Some times i think they need to look at some other sorts of mags to see how it's done. Take Motorcycle mags for instance...Funny at times, and writen at a pace that shifts along. And they arn't afraid to slag stuff off if it sucks! Another thing is kit reveiws...why do they tell you how to stick bits together???? Dead boring i say! Just tell us about the probs and the really good bits!
