The Best Products We've Tried And Tested This Year
Each year, the Model Airplane News editors collaborate to select the products and models of the past year that deserve special recognition. We have the enviable job of trying out an amazing array of airplanes and drones and a plethora of related accessories and products from the RC hobby, and each year, dozens of products are reviewed on the pages of our magazine. We evaluate design, construction, and—most of all—performance. So after much thought, consideration, and debate, here are this year’s winners.

VQ Warbirds Tiger Moth This Little Bird Is A Ball To Fly!
The Tiger Moth, or “Moth” as it is affectionately called, is a gentle-flying biplane that has been popular with military and private pilots since the early 1930s. I have flown various-size Moths, and I cannot think of an easier-flying, more forgiving, or more stable machine.

Protecting The FAA Regulations' Section 336
Section 336 is the reason why today’s model-aircraft and drone fliers have been able to fly without a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot’s license, equipage mandates, and regulatory paperwork. Section 336 is a safe tradition that has been around for many decades. If you like flying your model aircraft for recreation without mandates that include pilot licenses and remote IDs, action is needed now.

Hybrid Fokker Triplane: Two Designs Blended Into A Masterpiece
When it comes to scale RC modelers, especially World War I fans, one thing is for sure: They always find a way to use what they have and turn it into something amazing. So the story goes with our good friend and longtime contributor Sal Calvagna and his newly-test-flown hybrid 1/3-scale Fokker Dr.I triplane. Sal acquired a partially started 1/3-scale Fokker triplane project that was built from Ron Weiss Plans (available from Ziroli Giant Scale Plans).
