This months Flying Models has two construction articles, one RC, one UC, both slimers. No overprinting on the plans. There is also a rubber powered kit construction review, and review of some (not sure how many) ARFs. All these articles have abundant photographs. Dean Pappas has a two page long with no pictures discussion of tuned pipes. A number of other columns as well. Why is a commercial magazine with a fairly small circulation (and lots of small interesting ads) so far superior to our subsidized, huge circulation Model Aviation ARF catalogue?
