BLADES magazine
 
Hi guys,

I've recently taken a job at BLADES magazine, a helicopters only publication through LOOP which I'm sure a few of you are aware of, we reguarly get DK on here filling in on our questions from the superb flight tests he does...

If anyone wants to get the magazine you can, if your in the EU, get it completely free! Just sign up on the website here, LOOP.aero takes 2 mins then just wait for your copy to be delivered.

Best of all, it's HELICOPTERS ONLY! :ok:

Hi
I signed up but can't see any reference to BLADES. What did I do wrong?

R44-pilot 25th May 2010 12:03

Hi Obiwan,

Don't worry, if you have entered PPL(H), CPL(H), ATPL(H), interested in training in helicopters etc, BLADES will be sent out to you along with LOOP magazine, Dennis Kenyon writes in both so both are worth a look.

It will be with you shortly. :ok:

Cool one thanks

_Obiwan 25th May 2010 12:26

Thanks R44 :)

If I had a penny for every time I signed up for BLADES and never received a copy, I'd have thruppence. :hmm:

Yours sceptically,

Cheers

Oh dear. lol. Still, Blessed are those who expect nothing, they are never disappointed.

Whirls, I signed up once and get two copies. :}

The letter inside tells me I should register again to keep receiving my copy. I'm worried that I'll then get four copies and the postman will site me in some form of RSI related lawsuit!

BLADES: Keep up the good work.

Last time I tried to sign up I noticed the website wasn't secure so I rang the office and gave the lady my address. Never received a dickiebird since. So I gave up.

When I do find a copy I quite like it, but......

stringfellow 25th May 2010 21:57

i read one once it was great but no idea how to subscribe... please can you do a standard subscription??? id much rather pay and be guaranteed a copy!!

Gaseous 25th May 2010 22:18

I never signed up at all but always get a copy in the post! - I think they use G-info. Its a good read. Dennis always plugs the Enstrom cause.:ok:

Ian Corrigible 25th May 2010 23:24

Dennis's sales efforts for Enstrom have been mild compared to some of the other overcaffeinated 'in your face' articles such as the multi-page spread fawning over the Martin jetpack. The rag sometimes reminds me of a kid with ADHD ("This is the next big thing...no, this is...no, this..."), but they've kept it going despite the downturn (unlike some of their peers), so kudos to them.

Chalk up one more for the 'received without signing up' list. I don't own an aircraft wither, so who knows where they got my details from.

Only ever got a Loop, not Blades, and only once.

gsa 26th May 2010 08:36

I used to get 2 copies, one came with P1 strange with an (H) flagged on the registration.

John R81 26th May 2010 11:53

Signed up, told I would not get P1 but no mention of BLADES. See what turns up

john

R44-pilot 26th May 2010 15:49

Just clarify guys, P1 is an executive jet publication so not much interest to chopper jocks....

If anyone wants to PM their details and I will double check you receive your copy of BLADES.

Please also remember, one needs to re-subscribe each year to keep receiving it.
There is a whole new registration process for subscription now, very effective so everybody who has signed up in the last few previous months will get the magazine without problem.

Hope you enjoy it guys!

R44...perhaps mention to those in the subs. dept. that there IS an issue that's tarnishing the publication and needs sorting

:ok:

_Obiwan 4th Jun 2010 22:41

No sign of this magazine yet.....

heli1 5th Jun 2010 06:27

Obiwan...perhaps you should be signing up to HeliData instead...every two weeks with all the latest classified and news too if that's what you want !!

Ned-Air2Air 5th Jun 2010 08:26

Or send me a PM with name and postal address and will send you HeliOps for the next twelve months :ok:

Ned
