Default Magazine for large scale

Is there not a magazine devoted for ONLY large scale? Like 80" wingspand and larger? I have seen,and do read most magazines that have a mix of the different sizes.40size,60size etc..... But it would be nice to see a regular published mag that is only for the larger group.Is there one out there that I'm missing?

Thanks guys.That will work. I guess the reason you don't see the flood of large scale mags like the smaller scale is because of the higher cost to get in to that end of the hobby?
Seems like it would be wide open if a publisher wanted to hit a area that's not being addressed?
HHHMMmmmmmmmmm......Let's see,can I make money at this idea?

With the exception of the AMA rag, I don't get any mags. I flip through my dad's month old mags of Fly, MAN, and RC Report. It takes me maybe 30 minutes to flip through each one and read the stuff that interests me.

With the internet I think most mags are going to have a tough time. The only value to a mag is that you can take it to the "Pilot's Briefing Room" with you. I get REAL flight reports and opinions from numerous sources on the internet before a biased review comes out in a mag. The lead time for publishing is just too long.
