Jumped off the page Just received my January FLYINGMODELS
and you continue to raise the bar with this very full issue. The NEAT Fair may be too far away to at-
tend myself, but Jim Wiggin’s coverage re- ally makes the affair jump off the page. Since I work with kids in model aviation,
the Catapult Glider article just hits the spot for me. Thanks to Jonathan Nunez. Chuck Felton always finds an interesting
model to bring to theFMreadership. His ar- ticles are a good fit in FLYING MODELS and the Mew Gull is no exception. Dan Reiss’s Macchi M.C. 202 R/C con- struction article reminds me of the lovely lines of the original Italian fighter. Coinci- dently, Chuck Felton published a Macchi 202 (CD027) for Stunt in the June, 1997 issue. ALLEN BRICKHAUS Golconda, IL

Just a thought Once again I am pleased to renew my subscription to FLYING MODELS magazine. Best model aircraft mag out there. Al- though, I wouldn’t mind seeing a few build features on weekend control line models of worth. The Yak-9 profile model kitted by Sterling
Models comes to mind. Powered by either gas or electric power, when built with the optional wing flaps noted in the plans, it’s a great flyer with exceptional good looks. Just a thought.
