On the cover: Kevin Siemonsen floats the new Hangar 9 1/4-scale Piper Cub J-3 Plug-N-Play past the camera with the window open. This beautifully detailed model can be ready to fly within an hour or so of opening the box. See page 68 for Kevin's exclusive report on this scale classic. Inset: Is the innovative Gazaur Mars from Hobby Lobby the next "must-have" mini electric 3D heli? See page 90 for Tony Yap's first look at this remarkable machine. Photos by Walter Sidas.
