JUNE 2012: Rob Caso’s exquisite Halberstadt CL. II awaits its next mission as the morning sun brilliantly highlights just some of the details on this WWI electric R/C plane. Rob not only built a seldom-modeled scale aircraft, but went above and beyond with the scale details and finish. Daniel Walton constructs a foam profile model of the Dyke Delta; a model that also has a background in scale modeling yet can easily perform all of the advanced 3D maneuvers. Tom Binkley updates a classic Don Srull micro electric R/C Skipper, for modern electronics. Frank Fanelli reviews the ElectriFly Widgeon and Chris Susicke reviews E-flite’s re-issue of the popular Sea Fury. All of these great articles plus your favorite columns are in the June issue of Flying Models.
