Within the last two years, Durafly has released an impressive variety of exciting warbird models. With electric retracts, lighting systems, scale multibladed propellers, and flaps all standard features, these foam composition models pack plenty of value in the box. Roll back the calendar a decade or so, and one will find that most airplane kits were manufactured using balsa and light plywood.

First impressions: Google the word “Hadron,” without adding the filtering name “Flyzone,” and the search query will return page after page of scientific information about subatomic particles, a large linear accelerator, and similar data. When my favorite delivery person dropped a Hadron on my front porch, the box was anything but subatomic in size!
