Welcome to AeroModeller.

Issue 1 includes an extra feature of the first ever issue published in 1935.

The World’s only dedicated magazine for traditional aero modelling, featuring free flight, control line, RC indoor flying, plans and building articles, meeting and club reports – and whilst respecting the traditional aero modelling disciplines also covering the latest technologies and building methods.

Aeromodeller is jam packed with articles on how to build your own model aircraft either from our range of plans or even from your own designs.
The team of Editorial experts on Aeromodeller have years of experience and bring their knowledge to you every issue.

We also feature engine tests, articles on charging and getting the most from your batteries, electric motor features, product reviews, aero modelling history from the Aeromodeller archives and the latest meeting reports from around the globe.

As a subscriber you'll receive the following benefits:

A discount off the RRP of your magazine

Your magazine delivered to your device each month

You'll never miss an issue

You’re protected from price rises that may happen later in the year

You'll receive 12 issues during a 1 year AeroModeller magazine subscription.

Note: Digital editions do not include the covermount items or supplements you would find with printed copies.

You can read here on the website or download the app for your platform, just remember to login with your Pocketmags username and password.
