APRIL 2013: Best of Show honors went to Dave Wigley’s spectacular Bristol Beaufighter, one of the great models Frank Fanelli saw at this year’s WRAM Show, starting on page 40. Frank also found himself busy with the new Hangar 9-1/4-scale Super Cub review. Jose German Tapia has designed an inexpensive catapult glider with just paper. Tim Stephens’ reviews the Tough Jets T-14V shows the extreme maneuverability this delta wing jet can perform. All of these great articles plus your favorite columns are in the April issue of Flying Models!

Flying Models MagazineReady for its maiden flight, the new Hangar 9.25-scale Super Cub sits on the tarmac. The first flight, with Frank Fanelli on the sticks, later proved this plane wants to fly and flies quite nicely, plus it’s loaded with extras. PHOTO BY FRANK FANELLI
